Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the iPhone SE (2nd generation) 128GB's compact size and excellent camera quality as significant advantages. Many appreciate its affordable price and sufficient storage, along with the ease of use and inclusion of features like the home button and Touch ID. However, a common complaint centers around the device's battery life, which some users find to be shorter than expected.

    Apple's best phone. Can't beat the latest processor and a cheaper price. In addition, it's form follows the iPhone 8 so there are plenty of cases and accessories at reasonable prices.

    My old iPhone 5 couldn't run the necessary iOS version for my new Arlo wi-fi doorbell/camera - so it was time for an upgrade. I didn't want a phone that would not fit in my pants pocket, or that costs big $$. The SE readily fit my needs and has far more features than I'll ever use - so got my money's worth.

    Better battery life, very fast, does not get hot like our older iPhone. Enjoying this so far, and the price was okay at $450 with a $50 gift card.

    After always going with bigger, more cutting edge iPhones and mobile devices in the past, this was the first time we chose a middle of the pack, low-priced version. It’s been great! Decent camera, easier form factor, and tons of processing power for my wife’s apps. A lot of value for $449. But with our 3-year old iPhone trade-in, the out of pocket was $200.

    This $400 phone is basically the same as iPhone that cost $700 or more with the only difference that this is phone is somewhat smaller than the more expensive phone and the cameras are said to be an older generation than those on the new phones. With that being said, the onboard cameras on the IPhone SE 2020 are perfect for all but the most serious of photographers. It certainly meets my needs for cell phone cameras.

    I upgraded to the iPhone SE from an old LG Vigor. I am so delighted with this phone. It was super easy to transfer all my data from the Android phone to the iPhone. I use a Mac and an iPad at home so the interface is familiar. The camera seems to be very good, although I haven't used it much. I'm looking forward to using all the new features as soon as things normalize a little. Highly recommend this phone.

    After owning an iphone 7 Plus, the smaller size takes some getting used to. Definitely, it is more difficult to read emails and texts. However, I will probably use my iPad more for those. On the plus side, the SE is easier and less fatiguing to hold and I haven't had issues with it like I had had with the 7Plus , where the mouthpiece was in the wrong place and it would not pick up my voice properly.

    I was currently using the Iphone X and then aple released this phone. It was affordable with the most powerful chip at the time 2020. Especially with the corona virus and everyone wearing masks the fingerprint sensor was more practical and just as fast or even faster than face ID. I liked how small and compact the phone is. Not that my phone was huge but it makes a difference.
