    This iPhone is a nice upgrade for me. I am probably missing some of the upgraded features because I am not a “techie,” but I appreciate that I can navigate through it without having to learn a lot of new ways of using features. It works well as a navigation system when paired with my 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. Thanks.

    Great phone, just what I was looking for to fit my mophie used on a different I phone. The new phone has more features, space and all my apps and info was transferred with the assistance of the Best Buy associate who was able to transfer my SIM card as well as place a protective shield on the face. Happy camper here.

    Finally didn't have to relearn a new phone. Old case fit. Battery gives much longer usage. Reason my 6 died. Was good price. Gang at Amherst, NY store were awesome. First day reopen and their AC was broken. Even with the masks on they all were happy to help me. Thanks sooo much gang. Bailed me out in a very short time and I was back in service.

    I needed a new phone, but didn’t want a giant phone or one that cost $1000. When the SE 2020 came out, I knew this was my next phone. It’s the same size as the 7/8, so can fit in my pocket nicely but still has a nice screen size. With BB’s promotion, I felt the cost of this phone was something I could afford and not need to make payments to my carrier.

    I like the size - not too big. Upgraded features from 4S make it easier to operate. A bit expensive, but otherwise a good phone.

    I bought this phone for my 18-year-old daughter, and she loves the features and the battery life. She streams a lot of video and listens to music, and she is very happy with the quality. I was happy with the price. The iPhone 11 costs $300 more, so if you want a good phone without spending as much, this is the one for you.

    Me and my wife both purchased these phones, we are both frugal and this phone presented the best bang for your buck phone. iPhones have longer lifespans than any android phone I’ve owned, and for $400 you get the best processor Apple puts in their phones currently. And I prefer Touch ID. We plan on using these for years to come!

    I had an iPhone 6x and loved it! Until I got my new iPhone I didn’t realize how much I was missing . Talking to my contacts was a surprise. I kept thinking they were on speaker, but realized the sound was so much better and clearer. Really liked the ease and help I got from your Representative Gina.

    It's what my son wanted. It was a decent price (considering cellphone prices), small enough to be comfortable in his pocket while still having a nice size touch screen, and has plenty of onboard storage for him. He loves it, and it's the second time we've purchased this model for a family member.

    Needed replace my wife iPhone 7 with a new phone. The 11’s were out of our price range but the new SE have her the hardware needed to keep up with Apples OS and newer features at a fraction of the cost. Added bonus....her new SE fit her 7’s case and I even had a leftover screen protector that fit as well!
