For a lot of people, the iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6s Plus are just too big, which is one reason why it decided to release its new 4-inch iPhone SE. One iPhone 6 Plus owner recently tried switching to the smaller iPhone SE and posted about their experience on Reddit so that people could get a better idea of just how jarring it is to go from using a 5.5-inch phablet to using a tiny 4-inch iPhone. In short, they just can’t live with a tiny iPhone any longer.

On the plus side, the user said that the iPhone SE is very comfortable to hold and is incredibly fast for a smaller phone. After all, it does have the same A9 chipset that’s in the iPhone 6s, so it’s not surprising to see it performs well despite being smaller and less expensive.

On the downside, however, the user just can’t seem to get over how tiny the display is.

“Size and screen quality were both huge deal-breakers for me,” he writes. “I love my big screen. Gaming and watching videos on it is a dream in 1080p and I just could not give that up.”
