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.

    I have been waiting for this phone for years. I purchased the original 4in SE and have loved it - the small size is ideal for an actual phone. I was not thrilled about the larger size, but it-is-what-it-is. I picked this up the day it was released and have been happy with it. It is an upgrade from what I had and I did not have to spend a lot in order to get it.

    Small price tag- Big value. Has the features I need for my daily routine and doesn't shortcut things like speed/performance. I run a variety of apps with no problem and the battery life is very good. For the price you can't beat it. It's also a very good option if you are not wanting a very large phone.

    I was looking to upgrade from my iPhone 6S, so the SE was an improvement, yet kept a lot of the familiar tactile features! I really like the size of this phone, and have always been a fan of the home bottom, so this was an easy choice for me. Not the mention a better chip, and updated camera, can you say portrait mode? all at a pretty affordable price!

    I bought an iPhone SE 128GB for my wife. The only hiccup is with AT&T wanting my passcode which was unknown and their questions do not specify exactly what they are wanting. Best Buy delivered right on time even with all the problems with zero contact delivery. Getting a $50 gift card beats purchasing at an Apple or AT&T store.

    Two cons so far, The Battrey life is horrible and the mic tweaks sometimes. I’ll be on the phone talking and people cannot hear me so I have to redial when that happens. This never happened with my iPhone XS Max. Everything else is just good. Pros I have found so far, - Super fast chip! Gotta love how fast things load up on this phone.

    smartest thing apple has done in a long while is put out a phone at this price point. Bought one for mg daughter ND have zero regrets. They cut the right corners in order to put this product out there. I am a DIE HARD android user myself but this product made so much sense and that pains me to say!

    My previous phone was 16GB iPhone SE. I have finally outgrown it and when I saw that Apple had released a 2nd generation, I decided it was time for a new phone with more memory. I like it. The only thing I'd change is that it's a little bigger than my other phone, which fit my hand perfectly.

    I am a bit old school and needed my home button. I held on to my iPhone 6 for quite awhile because I refused to go to a phone with one. I was over the moon when the SE 2nd generation came out, it is perfect for me.

    Going from an iPhone 7 Plus to this I noticed a few things. It gets much hotter then my old phone did when n YouTube. It also seems to have a much shorter battery life. All in all for this price range you may as well go for a solitary competitors phone like, like Samsung.
