I bought this phone 3 months ago & today it went out FOR NO REASON AT ALL.

I recently had my iPhone 6 Plus bumped into a pool and no one realized it for quite awhile. The phone no longer works and I needed to find a spare since I didn't want to get a new phone until the end of the year with the release of the next iPhone. I used a spare old Android that was functional, but just wasnt doing the job. I went to Best Buy and debated just upgrading to the iPhone 8 and when I explained my situation to an employee he recommended I buy this phone since I wouldn't be tied to a contract, and boy am I glad I did. It completely blows away my iPhone 6 Plus in terms of speed and I have no problem at all with the size. I love knowing I can just keep this around as a spare once I eventually upgrade to the next iPhone. I'd highly recommend this as the size and price are fantastic and it runs iOS 11 with plenty of speed.

It runs iOS 11 & iOS 12 pretty well. The phone has aged great for what's more or less ~3 year old technology in a ~2.5 year old phone with a 5 year old design used from the ol 2013 iPhone 5S! Got that?! There's some curtainy backlight bleed from the top at more extreme angles and personally took some getting used to jumping from Android to iOS. Otherwise, if you enjoy small phones, like performance, and want a little peace of mind knowing you didn't sink $1000 under some payment plan by some carrier and it's a $200 (or less) iPhone, get it. Slap a cheap case + glass screen protector and you're done. Apple covers it like any other phone. Wouldn't suggest AppleCare+ 2 year accidental plan because the cost almost makes for an entire second iPhone SE. Apple's standard 1 year coverage applies at the time of purchase with no additional charge.

I have avoided buying an iPhone for a long time (price, smug iPhone users) but this little gadget is a delight. Sensible price, great 12 megapixel camera, super fast when uploading to various selling platforms, beautiful bright screen... and iTunes is insane. I adore all of the impjis ( in my very own skin color!). It’s a sweet little phone for the price, and all I had to do was update the SIM card number in my att prepaid account to keep my number. Happy I bought this!

All the other iPhones are bigger and smoother than the now discontinued iPhone 5C/5S/SE line up. I replaced a 4 year old 5S. The SE is a tad faster, has a better camera and double the storage. If the small form is desirable, get one before they pipeline dries up.
