Sadly, had to return my SE already.  Bluetooth issue that Apple support confirmed was a hardware issue.  Verizon is out of stock and had to reactivate my 5s.  Hours of Apple support, restoring to factory settings multiple times, then time in Verizon store.  That's the better part of a day I won't get back.  May be just one defective phone.  Lesson learned: don't buy a just released piece of technology until it's been on the market for a while to find out if there are systemic issues.  Problem is, these 5s trade in promos (Verizon is essentially doubling their trade-in value) expire in a couple weeks. :-( 

Then again, another family member's iPhone 6 was a complete train wreck (software issue) to get started last summer.  Apple does not seem to feel like the Apple of old lately.
