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.

    Love this phone - it was a replacement for an old 6S my 13 yr old son was using, He loves the Battery life for all the school and zoom needs doing e -school and e-sports during this Covid-19 time. Thank you Apple for discounting a much needed product for many of us!

    Worst iPhone I’ve ever owned. Battery life does not get me through an entire day. Screen is not the most responsive. Screen cracked relatively easily and I’ve been using iPhones for 14 years with no cases.

    I like this phone. It's a lot like my iPhone 7, and it wasn't over $1,000 like the other new ones. It's much more affordable. And the battery life is better than my old phone. If you don't need all the new stuff, like a ton of cameras, this more basic phone is for you.

    Upgraded my wife with this phone and she’s happy with it. She’s had her iPhone 6 for so long that she wanted something similar. This new phone is basically a highly upgraded iPhone 6.

    Have had this phone a couple weeks, getting accustomed to a smaller screen and learning the functions which seems to be going well. Used the camera like the panoramic feature. Smaller phone in size fits into a pocket or purse easier. Cynthia at Best Buy was very helpful in facilitating this purchase.

    I bought this phone for my girlfriend and she loves it. I purchased it using contactless pickup and it was SO EASY. In my opinion, it's easier to pick a cell phone up and activate it myself, than to do it in-store. No offense Best Buy!

    I had an 8 that the back was shattered. I elected to upgrade to the SE instead of fixing my 8. This one is a little faster but it’s hard to tell, the battery life is about the same.

    He has troubles with it sometimes but he upgraded from a 3GS. I say his problems come from him getting all the updates for the last several years at once and being overwhelmed with all the changes.

    If your like me and don’t want to mess around with Face ID then this is perfect for you. It has the style of the iPhone 8 but with more capabilities.

    Love it. Didn’t really want 5G yet. Fits my old iPhone 8 cases. Recommend if you want a lot of power and a small footprint. Also big screens have people in your business.

    It’s nice to have a phone it is functioning compared to my iPhone seven. Still trying to figure out all the options on the phone. It’s hard to pick it up and not have anybody walk me through anything or set it up for me. I understand that’s just a sign of the times.

    Very excited about my new phone. I don't have much experience with it but so far so good. A real positive is that I could use my current case (iPhone 6) with just a minor modification.

    This phone is perfect for that person that doesn’t do a lot on their phone. My mom likes the color and that she can text and youtube. That’s all she really cares about.
