Her smartphone is an Aus zenfone max 2 and She use it for whatsapp and gaming (Now she use also my ipad air 2 for gaming).

iPhone SE is better in terms of hardware specs when compared to iPhone 6. If your wife is happy with the form factor of the SE then get that without doubts.

However, depending on the type of games she plays, the screen might be a bit too small.

I would not buy a 6 at this point. The batteries are old and they have only 1GB of RAM, so they're comparatively slow even with a good battery. The SE is basically a 6S, which is noticeably better and faster in every way as long as the screen size isn't a fatal flaw. It also has second gen TouchID, which is radically better than the gen 1 in the 6.

Definitely don't buy a 6; the SE is better in every way apart from screen size but maybe your wife will like the smaller screen.

The SE comes with first gen Touch ID I think.

Yes, it does have a first gen Touch ID.

I went for a used 6S very recently. Many upgraded to a newer iPhone over the new year and are now selling their old ones. Most of these are 6 and 6S, and the 6S are often not much more than the 6, but a much better value.

OT but I don't really understand why Apple still sells the 6s. It's still a great phone and some good deals can be had on used but now there is so much choice in their lineup which used to be just a few models:

6s
6s+
SE
7
7+
8
8+
X

The 6 is horrible. Anything else is a better decision

No brainer get iphone se... iphone 6 seems dated and the price is rather steep for what its capable off...

Most if not anyone should buy an iphone with A9 at the very intricate and bare minimum!!! A9 made strides which a8 didnt . And is that alone that is worth recomending. Sure the screen size is puny (4 vs 4.7) but unless u need to game/watch movies on it .... it should be fine for the most part

Are you sure it’s the 6 and not the 6s that is being offered at that price? The reason I ask is while the 6 is still sold new at some carriers, it is usually at about the same price as the SE (it’s now the cheap option with a bigger screen). The price difference is more inline with an SE vs 6s I think and the 6s may be a better option for your wife unless she likes small phones. As others have said, avoid the 6 at this point.

I wouldn't buy either of those at this point, and definitely not at those prices.

Best to bring the wife to the store and let her choose what works best for her.

I would stray away from the iPhone 6, as the iPhone SE has the same internals as the iPhone 6s with 2 GB of Ram and the A9 processor. The only drawback to the iPhone SE, is the smaller 4 inch display and the resolution is sub-par.

As most have stated, stay away from the 6. SE or 6S are both still very capable phones and will serve your purpose well.
