I have an iPhone XR. I absolutely hate it, it's huge, I have to use two hands to hold it. It's so heavy it pulls the holdy-device in the car downwards and I constantly have to push it back up again Angry

I have to message with two hands like I have a Blackberry. When I've tried to message with one hand whilst lying down, the phone has hit me in the face. It's actually so annoying I want to throw it out of the window and get a Nokia 3210.

Now, I'm going to just pay the money to escape the contract and upgrade, but to which other iPhone? Which of the other (newer) iPhones are smaller and less ridiculous? Due to lockdown I can't get into the shops to see the phones, but using the comparison tools online it looks like most of the new ones are just as big and just as heavy... really?! Is that right?

Oh I actually miss the days where Apple brought out one new iPhone, not 3 or 4 at the same time just to offer the market different options confuse me.

And please no suggestions of getting an Android, I can't cope with phone related change, I would have no idea how to use it and it would be more stressful than being hit in the face by my phone most nights.

Ooh I'm really tempted to upgrade to the new SE, trying to weigh up nice compact size of the SE with the bigger battery capacity of the rather large iPhone 11.

Does anyone know if the new SE supports Apple pay?
I'm not managing to get it, how do you do it?

woodencoffeetable · 05/05/2020 13:57

it does.
I had issues at first, but it worked after I contacted my bank to enable to use the connected bank card.

cardoon · 05/05/2020 14:09

Same here!
I have yet to phone the bank.
Seems very low key just going to the wallet app _ you'd think apple would have something more fancy for such a big deal facility Confused

Yes it supports ApplePay

You typically need to approve use at first with your bank either by calling them or on internet banking.
