Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I've been waiting for a new SE for quite some time. I was not willing at first to upgrade from the old SE due to size. Once it was available I was willing to upgrade especially based on the cost. I can not say a bad thing about the device thus far. It's incredibly snappy, and knowing Apple will support it based on the processor used is enough to keep me in this until SE3.

Switrched from the 11 Pro to this
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I switched from my 11 Pro to this and I'm not disappointed. I love the compact size of the phone and the A13 chip it has. I sacrificed battery life and camera quality but those features on this SE are still good enough for me. The other models are just too big to carry around in my pocket, to exercise with, and for one-handed operation, so this is perfect. I hope Apple continues producing SE models.

Great phone for the price

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5This is a great smartphone for the cost especially if you want a new iPhone for $400 range. I had to change my old Android phone because I had trouble on meetings and the moment I bought iPhone SE, people were able to hear me well. I have been using this for close to a month and have no issues, camera is also great! Worth the money spent.

Great phone, difficult transition
|Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Phone is great in most regards, but was a bit difficult to get used to coming from an Android phone that I had been using for about five years. The battery life is lackluster, but not a deal-breaker. Phone is super fast and does everything that I've needed it to do so far, aside from some Android-exclusive features. Would recommend, especially given the price for brand name like Apple.

Great for an IPhone
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Let me start this off in stating that this was the first IPhone I bought since the IPhone 7. The chip and the price are the raesons I bought it - otherwise I favor SamDroid normally. For a small phone, this packs a wallop !! Really like the speed of it. Look forward to seeing it work on a different network here in a couple weeks as I change jobs. I would highly recommend this phone.

Q: QuestionIf I buy the iPhone SE unlocked, can I use my SIM card from my previous iPhone 6s to activate the carrier

Q: QuestionHow does this iPhone compare to the iPhone 8? I like having a touch button but I would like to get a new phone with more storage.
Asked by Liam.
- A:Answer This should be very similar to the 8 for you, but an upgrade in almost every way. The 8 had a 64, 128, and 256 gb version, so does this phone and the 11. If you have the 256 gb version of the 8, then the 11 pro or pro max would be the phone you should get if you want more storage. If you have the 64 or 128 gb version of the 8, the go up one size on this SE. Realistically I think most people should get either the 128 or 256 gb version of this.

Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between this iPhone and the iPhone 10/11?
Asked by Ddfas47.
- A:Answer The SE has a smaller screen, battery, less RAM (3gb vs 4gb), lower quality camera, and is touch home button not face ID. The SE is a budget 11, and should still be very good, and is much cheaper.

Q: QuestionLooking to switch to iPhone from Motorola G3. How do I get my data to the iPHone? Does SIM card work?
Asked by MotoUser.
- A:Answer No the sim isn’t the right way to go. There’s an app to download on the iPhone called “move to iOS” once you have it, get both phones on WiFi and it will prompt you. Make sure you have enough room though!

Q: QuestionIf I buy this iPhone SE unlocked, can this be used for travel internationally and will this unlocked SE have a SIM card slot that will allow a GSM SIM card to be inserted and used?
Asked by Gee.
- A:Answer I’m sure best buy can give you a more thorough answer but when i bought this they told me that it can be used anywhere in north america only. If you are using the same sim internationally, your network carrier will determine the limits of using this abroad. However if you are asking if a sim outside the north american continent can be used with this phone, i was told it was not possible. The truly unlocked iphone can only be bought at apple. Unlocked phones from retailers still have limits. I suggest chatting with a best buy rep for better info but this is a tidbit from my experience, just in case anyone also needs to know.
