    This is a great phone if you don't need a huge screen but want a great camera and the processing power of the iPhone 6s. Does everything the iPhone 6s does except 3D touch. Battery life is also fantastic and will get you through the day even with moderate usage.

    I love it. It is easy to use and figure out. I thought the price was fantastic. The price was what always kept me from getting an iPhone in the past. I like the smaller size because it fits easily in my purse. There is nothing negative to say about it.

    This was an upgrade from my Iphone 4. I love the fingerprint ID, the camera and the processor speed. The size fits my small hand better than the larger Iphone 6S. I have had no problems with the phone and would recommend the SE to everyone.

    If you have had an Apple phone before, this one is very simple to use. It has been easy for me to get any app I want with little fuss, and the phone recharges very quickly. It is still small enough to put in a pocket.

    I bought this phone to upgrade from an iPhone 4, and I am impressed by this device so far. Performance is good, camera is pretty decent, and the battery life is good as well. I don't have any complaints at this point.

    I had a "dumb" phone for over 7 years and was not ready to take that "leap"; however, my family felt I needed to get a smart phone. I read the reviews on this phone and a few friends gave me a good review. I decided to purchase it. I had a little trouble getting use to a smart phone since I have only used a "dumb" phone but after a little bit of playing with it, I love it now. I am still learning new tricks with it but it is a great phone and takes great pictures. I also like the size of it. It is smaller than many of the smart phones on the market.

    I select this phone since I had previously a iPhone 5S and I have a lot of devices for this size. Bassically size was my priority, but now I'm very happy with this product performance. If you have a lot of music or pics the I suggest you to select 64Gb instead of this 16Gb.

    I went from an iPhone 4s to the iPhone 6SE. I was working with a budget and did not want to deal with a substantial number of new tech options which might interrupt my communication needs at my business. The SE gave me the updates I was in need of while offering me the security of a dependable mode of communication. The processor is much quicker and the camera much better than on my previous iPhone. A powerful tool wrapped in a small package.

    It's got the guts of the top end (at the time) iPhone 6S in a more compact package that fits in one hand. Best thing about Apple iPhones is probably the software support; you actually get frequent updates, including security updates, for at least a few years.

    Love this phone because it's so much like my 5s, but takes better photos. I have small hands so I really like how narrow the phone is, and how easy it is to use!

    I don't sit around watching videos and browsing the internet on my phone, so I don't need an enormous screen. The SE fits easily in one hand. The screen is still very nice. The hardware is fast. And Apple keeps the software updated.

    I got this phone at such a great price because it included a BB Gift Card, and also was on sale going through Verizon's Device Payment Plan. Of course, I paid it off immediately and closed the Verizon account. The phone is SIM unlocked from the beginning and I moved on to this iPhone SE from a Galaxy S7 Edge. The last Apple portable device I had was iPod Touch 2nd gen from long time ago when we were transitioning from PDAs. Perfect size, fits nicely inside a shirt pocket. Battery lasts longer than my unlocked version S7 Edge.

    ... But with all today's tech. It lacks the 3D Touch, which just so happens to be the thing j could care less about. Otherwise it has all the same spec as you'd find in a 6s and that's a huge jump for people who preferred the 5s so much that they've held out for this long. For me coming from a 6 to this is like a dream and am glad to finally have a comparable 4 inch model again.

    This is a terrific iPhone -- quick, easy to use, with a beautiful camera to boot! As a mature user, less interested in accumulating videos than in having trustworthy phone and internet functionality and in having a small phone that readily fits into a front pocket, this is a great phone. Having come to this phone from a 5s, the improvement is dramatic.

    I still like this size and it seems much faster. And, I like that it has a better camera than the older 5s.
