    My last phone was XR. So this is smaller. I have second thought at the beginning because of the size. But now, I like it. I will not recommend it if you like watching you tube or game for a long hours. I still like a bigger screen for viewing. Since I use tablet at home. Then, it is a suitable to my needs. I mostly use phone for texting, calling, reading some news during lunch break. The size is very manageable. So I am now even considering getting a IPhone 12 mini next month. Since I really like the size in my hand very handy.

    Maybe I'm just old school but I like the fact that this is designed like the older iPhone 7 I'm finally upgrading. I like the fact that this phone still has the "home" button at the bottom but also has the upgraded technology inside. I still don't use all the features of a smart phone and probably never will but the few that I do use are a lot more responsive than my old 7!

    What I like about the SE is the updated tech, which includes the Wi-Fi 6 (making downloading and uploading very fast), longer battery life and overall a faster phone than the las SE.

    I had an iphone 7 which was starting to run slow and the battery was weak. I wasn't really going to buy a new phone but saw this phone was just released and based on the reviews I read it looked lke just what I needed and the price was affordable. So far I find it to be so much quicker than what I was used to. It fits into my iphone 7 case and I'm very happy with it.

    Some would say I downgraded when I went from my Note 10 down this iPhone SE. That's very fair to say, but I wanted something small again, and this phone fit every need. It's nice not having to lug around a brick in my pocket anymore!

    Hello I am very happy to announce my service was impeccable when purchasing my new SE Iphone. I was completely lost on what was best for me. I was please to meet “Zaniyah” she was absolutely excellent helped me with making a choice and referred me to a another service rep “James” to complete my order and transfer from one device to another. He also was exceptional. This was an example of outstanding service which made me compete this review upon my receiving it. Two thumbs up for great service from Zaniyah and James great representation for BestBuy!

    Bought this 2nd gen SE iPhone in April. Over the past 5-6 months it has proven itself to be an excellent phone and has met or exceeded all expectations. It is hard to beat for its value/performance.

    I last had an iPhone 6s, I didn’t want to give up my old phone because I didn’t want a bigger phone. I love that Apple came out with the SE 2020. Beautiful display, clear pictures and just perfect.

    While all smart phones are overpriced. This is a good value for someone who does not want to overpay just to be trendy. Love the smaller size so I can fit it in my pocket.

    At 71 I’m coerced into having an iPhone. But it’s user friendly; after a day, I could text, attach photos: confidently use my 2020SE. Now I’m glad to have made the right choice!
