I only upgraded because of wear on my iphone6s. I am so thankful that I did, Love this iphoneSE2. It's almost the same phone just faster. I wanted to stay with a small phone. The picture quality is much better and the screen is vivid in color compared to the iphone6s. The battery is amazing! I like the new port for head phones. It's a great value for some much! Very Thankful.
Have a Bright & Blessed Day!

I needed to replace my iPhone 8 as I was having speaker issues. For only about $50 more than the repair I have a new updated phone. Love this phone as it's the same size as the 8. I didn't have to buy a new case which was a plus. The price was great. Only have had the phone for a few weeks, but it works great. Everying was easily transferred over from my old phone without a thing missing.

My wife appreciates the upgrades from her original SE. Starting with the larger screen, longer battery life, and faster processing, all of which have made using Zoom Cloud for distance meetings with her coworkers a more pleasant experience. Plus the availability of reasonable priced cases, due to the case match with the iPhone 8, was an additional feature. The verdict: Great Deal, Great Timing

If you prefer a smaller phone (think iPhone 6s or 7) that can easily fit in your pocket, then this phone is for you. The overall size is similar to the 6s / 7 generation of Apple iPhones with a faster processor and a home button. The phone claims to be water resistant (although I haven't tested that yet). Overall a good deal although a little pricey, like most Apple products.

The iPhone SE is great! I like the smaller size, but someone who likes to use the phone for email may not like that aspect. It is fast, the battery seems to last well, it seems to have all the features I need. It doesn't have facial recognition, but I didn't have that before, so I'm not missing anything. I recommend this phone for anyone who isn't an extreme techie.

Excellent Phone with a great price point compared to other phones on the market.
Ease of use is great and the Camera is superior to the older 6S that I traded in to replace this Model.
Customer Service at the Pembroke Pines Location where I bought this Model was exceptional!

I bought this for my wife for Mother’s Day. I presented it to her early as her phone was out of memory. The 128GB should take of her now. She loves it and really likes the red color. Pretty reasonable price as well.

i never buy the latest top of the line model. This one fits the bill perfectly - price meets function! Battery not as good as 13 - but I get a full day’s charge for what i would consider normal use

I loved that it was the same size as my previous iPhone so i just had to slightly modify the case to accomodate the camera and it was good to go! The red color is pretty red (vs. the pink-ish cast in the product photo). I'm pretty happy with it.

I’ve always had iPhones and I was waiting for this iPhone to come out. My iPhone 7 that I’ve been using for 3 years finally died right after I preordered my iPhone SE. The timing was of my iPhone 7 dying was a little weird but it worked out. I prefer the touch ID & home button & hate the ugly notch of the newer iPhones. I was going to get an iPhone 8 but the SE is much better since it had the newest chip & software update & more ram than the iPhone 8 & it costs less as well. I got the iPhone SE 128 GB for less than an iPhone 8 with the same memory. The iPhone SE is the newest iPhone & it’s faster & more powerful than the latest top of the line Android phones just like the flagship iPhone 11 is even faster & more powerful than the Samsung S10. You get all this top of the line hardware & the latest software for around $400 & $450 for 128 GB which is the right amount of memory. Since I got the phone on the first day it was available, it performed very well, the battery life was much better than my old iPhone 7 & the charging was very fast & it also does wireless charging. It was very fast & smooth & as usual for all iPhones it’s camera was very good & took excellent pictures and it’s using the latest software update & very easy to use.

This iPhone is awesome in many ways. I really like the size since it’s the same as my last one only with better features. The camera is much better too. I’m still learning about sine if the other options but so far so good

I’ve only had my new iPhone SE for a week. So far it’s great! My previous phone was the original SE. The updated size & features include increased ease of use, slightly larger size, & a lot more photo features. The quality of the speakers are a huge improvement! I stream my phone to my hearing aids. I’ve noticed phone calls & music sound quality are highly improved, much more crisp. At night I stream my TV to my hearing aids via the Roku app. I’m able to adjust the volume so I can hear my TV very clearly without having to turn the volume on the app all the way up. I’m very pleased with my beautiful red iPhone SE! I highly recommend it!

I replaced an iPhone X with this SE. I got tired of having to pull my mask down to use Face ID on the X. Face ID is a nice feature, but in the age of mask-wearing, Touch ID rules. The SE seems pretty fast, and the price is right.

My old phone was great but the battery die all the time. I can listen to music for hours and be out. It a lot faster too. I love how it feel like the iPhone 7. So I have a new phone but it look just like my old one love it.

Did some of this purchase by phone. Arrived at store and due to Covid restrictions, completed this transaction at the entrance of the store. A very knowledgeable store associate assisted me with this purchase and activation of the phone. All went well. Only disappointment is the volume of this Iphone. Is not very loud for a person with some hearing loss. I would not buy this phone for someone with hearing loss. Phone can be used with the headset or by speaker phone, then the volume is adequate.

Not the top of the line phone but definitely worth the price. I hope Apple continues to keep a "discount" phone in their lineup for years to come. My family doesn't like the full screen phones or face ID so it's nice to still have some options that have a home button and TouchID

Lost my iPhone 8 overboard .. this is a great replacement and exactly the same size! Has better camera and retains the fingerprint reader that I prefer over facial recognition
I was able to buy a new Life-proof case (Same as For the iPhone 8 model) and use my existing belt holder and, after buying the Life proof stick on case magnet, the locking belt clip .... I just won’t forget to lock the latter, which is how my 8 went for a swim (unfortunately in 10 ft of very dirty, polluted, harbor water else I’d have jumped after it / got a diver as it was in a Lifeproof case)
