    Forced “upgrade”

    I went from an iPhone 7 to this SE. From a day to day perspective it is transparent. I’m even using the same case. In a way, I suppose that is good. iPhones generally work well, have an established and familiar OS, and maintain the same feel overall. The issue I have, and why I switched is due to the fact that my iPhone 7 was becoming increasingly unstable. In theory, it’s still supported. However, many apps had begun crashing, audiobooks would stutter if I tried multitasking, and some apps simply failed to keep operating. I made the trade with the lowest cost, and while I could still get some value for my trade in. If the 7 would have kept working, then I certainly would have kept using it. I’m not interested in annual upgrades.

    Was able to replace my old iPhone 7 with this newer version with improved camera capabilities and better battery life. All with keeping the same protective and smaller more convenient size than the newer models.

    I have had an android phone for as long as they’ve been out. I did not want to go to an iPhone, but my new car has Apple CarPlay and my android phone couldn’t utilize so the possibilities, so I broke down and looked for the least expensive iPhone, which was the SE 2020, which has the same processor as the iPhone 11- very fast! Took a couple weeks to get used to the iPhone, but now I love it!

    I recently decided to switch to iPhone from android. I had the Samsung Galaxy S9. It was an easy transition and the price is much better. I was nervous I wouldn’t like the experience because I literally have all Samsung products. I do think my Samsung took better pictures. This battery life is better and doesn’t die at 15% like my old phone but not as good as other iPhones. Definitely recommend for the price.

    I’m happy with it. I really liked my old 5s... kept putting batteries in it. Eventually was told it wouldn’t be network supported anymore so I was forced to upgrade. I don’t need a $1k phone and really like a physical home button. I picked this SE up in 128 gig shortly after release and have been thrilled with it. If you’re like me with an old iPhone needing to upgrade, this ones functions will be familiar.

    Purchased this item to replace my iPhone 6 that was 5 years old. I was more than happy with that on, but only had 16GB of memory, and it was a constant struggle to keep enough memory free to do anything else. This was priced right, great features, and 8 times the memory of my last one. Should be good for another 5 years.

    The service picking it up was great. Props to Best Buy. I’m just now starting the process of switching to the phone, but it’s fantastic so far. A lot of power for the price, and it’s nice to have a cheaper alternative without impacting the performance of the phone!
