    I use just enough features on my smartphone to need a smartphone. I was dreading even moving up to a 6 due to size! When SE came out, presto, all my worries went out the window! Great job Apple on keeping a small footprint smartphone!

    My wife has had a flip phone forever and was not willing to get a smart phone. However, for Christmas, I upgraded her to this phone and she has not looked back. She is extremely pleased an this phone meets her needs perfectly.

    This is a great phone with excellent specs. Perfect size for 1-handed use and good hw that should allow the OS to be kept up-to-date for a long time. Comes with the excellent Apple eco-system behind it for apps and games.

    We bought cheaper phones from Verizon direct which we did not like so we went across the street to Best Buy and traded in the cheap phones for the i-phones...they are easy to operate for a older person such as my self

    I chose this one because it was the same size as my old 5s. I was never impress the big sizes. I would recommend this one if you like the smaller size that provides almost the same functions as the 6 and 7's.

    I came into Best Buy looking for a replacement for my daughter's lost flip phone. After looking over several LG, Samsung, and other phones we settled on this new iPhone. Same ol' UI, but the new processor really makes this phone fast. A great upgrade for those who are "Power Users" on their phones.

    I brought this phone less than a month ago and so glad I did. Charges. Dry quickly, holds battery, excellent cover where I've never gotten signal with prior company's, and the rose gold is a beautiful color!

    I upgraded from an iPhone 4 - so it was familiar, but better. Love the fact that I can log in with my fingerprint. The camera is fabulous - I've abandoned my digital camera, and I love that I can speak my texts!

    Easy to use for beginners. I didn't get a lot of space because it's from my grandmother and I think the Apple phone is really easy to use it simple to use for those that are new to using a smartphone device

    Device was purchased for testing so it was not an active device but the size is good if you like the iPhone 5 size. I personally have the iPhone 6 and it going back to that size phone would be hard because it felt that much smaller. I would recommend checking it out in person before purchasing.

    I like the iPhone because of the ease of use and connectivity to business and email related needs. It is easy for me to navigate and when I have had questions that required additional attention, support from the BEST representative who helped me make the purchase decision, was exceptional.

    I love my new Apple SE! I didn't want a larger Apple phone, and was glad to fine this one. The store gift card that came with it made it really easy to get a good screen protector and a case for the phone.

    This is the phone I have been looking for. Does everything a larger phone does but is much easier to fit in pocket or purse..Great idea to bring back smaller for those of us who want a better sized phone.

    Originally bought this for the kids but returned it for more memory. 16 GB wasn't going to last long in my house but may be a great phone for others who don't download many apps or take many photos.

    It's an iPhone! Enough said! I absolutely love the features of the SE! I like the slimmer size that fits easier in my pockets rather than the big iPhone 7. In this case, bigger is not always better!

    I was really reluctant to buy an apple phone but I totally don't regret it. It's small but I like having a small phone. It actually fits in my pocket.

    Was not a fan of the IPhone 6, loved the body style of the 5. This is the best of both worlds processing of a 6 Plus with the body style of the 5!! Long battery life, charging only at night.

    I bought it because of the size and for someone like myself who is always on the move this size is perfect without having to worry about dropping it or my hand cramping from it being to large
