iPhone SE or iPhone 5S?

Question

iPhone 7 is on it's way, but I want to get a new phone.

For now the budget I have is clearly for iPhone 5S 16GB , but it makes me not to consider it for the fact that it may become outdated asap, while iPhone SE would last for two to three more years even if it gets discontinued by Apple.

This is probably going to be my very first iPhone. I had used beast phones like Samsung S3, Note 4 and a useless HTC One M9Plus.

I sold the M9Plus because I got bored of it [stupid mediatek chip and stuck with android 5.0.2] , my Note 4 doesn't work anymore for which I really feel bad [I loved that phone so much :( ] , so now I'm stuck with S3 with Cyanogenmod 13 [Marshmallow].

For some reason, I want my next phone to be an iPhone, but considering that I have a budget, I want to get the SE which probably drops after the iPhone 7 event.

So should I go for the SE or 5S or should I hope for iPhone 6 to drop too?

The SE is far far better than the 5S, they maybe the same size but the SE is practically a 6S in a smaller chassis. If you want a better phone then go for the SE. The SE is also better than the 6 so even if the iPhone 6 gets a price drop, you'd still be better off getting the SE

SE likely wouldn't have a price drop once the 7 is announced. The 6 & 6s most likely would.

I'd get the SE between the 2 or if the 6 drops within your limit could get that as well.

I would get the SE or the 6S, my wife is content with her iPhone 6 but if you are buying unlocked is seems the 6s and newer SIM-free work with more phone companies. The iPhone 5 is a good phone and if you already had one you could use it but if you are buying new you might want the phone that will be supported longer. 
I would go for at least 32GB if I wanted to use a smartphone for things in addition to texts and phone calls.
