    Recently I brought I phone SE from best buy, because all other phones are so huge. I need a phone for one hand and my pocket and not for both hands and an extra bag. No idea why people want all this crazy sizes which doesn't fit in one hand and average pants pocket.i love it..

    To upgrade or not to upgrade? That is the question

    Since so far I am the only reviewer who actually has an iPhone SE (the other reviewers who wrote reviews before 3/31 aren't real, and the one who refers to this iPhone as the iPhone 5se is really fake [did you not bother to look at the product name!!?]), I see it as my duty to present this iPhone to you. Yes, I do have this phone (pictures provided!) and I am writing a real review. Okay, there has been a hype for about a few months now, and the new 4" iPhone is finally here. Some important points to take note of are that this phone has the exact same body as the iPhone 5 and 5s. Literally the exact same. Unlike the 6s that was slightly larger than the iPhone 6, this iPhone will fit each and every case and screen protector made for the iPhone 5 and 5s. Really the only difference is that this phone comes with matte edges instead of chrome, and the legal labels on the back are removed. The next point was that this phone is better than the iPhone 6 (and much cheaper). Don't let the 4" screen fool you, this iPhone's stats are mostly on par or better than the iPhone 6 (and no, bigger screen is not better). Take the resolution. 326 ppi, same as iPhone 6. A9 chip, better and faster than the A8 in the iPhone 6. If pictures are your thing, there is a 12-megapixel iSight camera, better than the one in the iPhone 6. Don't forget Improved noise reduction, also better than the iPhone 6. Don't forget the panorama that features up to 63 megapixels, you guessed it, better than the iPhone 6's 43 megapixels. Oh, and I almost forgot (not really), 4K video is a blast. For selfies, the iPhone SE now features Retina flash, or flash from the screen. Battery life: the iPhone SE has the best battery life of all iPhone for sale today in terms of internet use time. So should you upgrade? I will start with those without a contract. If you hold any iPhone with a 4" screen or smaller, and you are free from any contracts, then yes you should upgrade. This includes current users of iPhone 1/3G/3GS/4/4S/5/5c/5s. Here's why. If you are without a contract, you probably paid more for your current phone than you will for this one. Given that you were able to afford a full price iPhone, you can definitely enjoy the features of this phone. The way I see it, this phone is the perfect way to enjoy an iPhone 6s without the huge cost (and the 3D touch). iPhone 6 users, this one is a 50/50 call. You really should be happy with your phone, but, then again, I pretty much just trashed your phone in the specs throw down above. This one is a tough call, and one you and your wallet should decide. Those with a contract, if your contract is almost over, rejoice, you can get this phone for free. But, since you are shopping on Best Buy for this phone, I assume you are not in a contract. However, if you are still in a contract for a while, it is up to you to decide if this phone is worth breaking your contract over. I hope you enjoyed reading this review more than I enjoyed writing it. If you have any questions, my email is on my profile page, and you should feel free to contact me. I, however, am not a representative from Apple, and you might just get better answers there. Who knows?

    As a long time Android user I was reluctant to give this one a try. I'll say for the price it's a great device. It's fast, the camera is good, and the battery lasts all day.(About 7 hours usage) The front facing camera isn't very impressive and the finger print reader is somewhat slower than I was expecting. If you're looking for a smaller device I'd say this is probably the best of them.

    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 bought this phone for my daughter who started middle school this year. She had lot of peer pressure especially riding in the bus. So I got her this beautiful Apple iphone. It is perfect for her small hands as compared to the bigger versions. Here are the Pros and Cons PROS - Compact - Excellent camera - Excellent IOS software - Solid battery life Cons - Average screen resolution - Not so great front-facing camera - 16GB Storage The is just perfect for my daughter and now she is happy kid.

    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.

    I was looking to upgrade from Iphone 5, and the 6 series was too large, go I waited to see what was next. I am thrilled with the speed of the SE, the size is great, the camera is terrific, and overall is just what I had wanted. I also had a very good explanation from the salespeople, including a demo of throwing the phone on the floor with the case I was going to buy.

    I purchased this phone because it had been 2 years and my son was at an age where he needed a beginner phone. The new 6 was a bit pricey but I wanted the better camera and faster speed it offered. Perfect answer iPhone SE! Not only did I save around $100, I received a $200 gift card to boot! No regrets on this purchase!

    Coming from an iPhone 4s to the iPhone SE was awesome! I love it's convenient size with all the bells and whistles of the S as aide from 3D Touch but who honestly cares!!! Great, classic 5 look paired with a 12MP camera I couldn't be happier! Especially with the current promotion I couldn't pass up!

    I think the iPhone SE is fantastic. I loved my iPhone 5 but it was over 4 years old, still worked perfectly other than the battery was wore out. So I decided to upgrade, but didn't want a larger phone. So the SE was ideal... Love the fingerprint lock code...

    This is a great phone. It is very powerful. I didn't want a phone as big as the iphone 6 or 6s and definitely not the 6 plus. I like the smaller size with the same performance as the 6. Takes very good photos too.

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

    If you're into small, excellent-quality smartphones, you simply can't go wrong with this one. Absolutely love it. BUT I would strongly advise anyone NOT to buy the 16gb version. Go with the 64gb version.

    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.

    I had the 5C which was a good phone but the battery needed replacing since it wouldn't hold a charge for 24 hours. After much research I decided to upgrade to the SE since I really liked the size of my 5C and the SE was the same size and everything about it was rated better. Bottom line, everything was better - faster, battery life, pictures, resolution, etc. Plus I now have Apple Pay, which is great. My wife will be replacing her's soon, but she will be getting the 64 because of all the photos, videos, etc.

    I purchased this phone for my son, who is in middle school. It fit in nicely with the other Apple products in my home, since we utilize features like Family Sharing, FaceTime, and iMessage often. This price of this phone made it an easy choice, and (hopefully) the smaller form factor will make it less likely to be dropped and broken. I like the fact that this smaller phone includes all of the bells and whistles of the iPhone 6s (except for 3D Touch) at a price that didn't break the bank.
