    Switched from Samsung after 13 years and am loving this phone so far. Also switch from the active 2 watch to an Apple Watch 3 and no comparison. Apple has been a very smooth transition and far superior accessories in terms of smoothness of operating systems.

    I bought a new IPhone SE on line, and then asked for help activating and transferring all my data. The clerk who helped me was awesome and went the extra mile when we had trouble getting the Verizon SIM card to work. Would definitely recommend the phone and the ‘tech’ who helped me in store.

    Purchased this iPhone SE for my Father on Father’s Day weekend. Best Buy Tech set it up nicely and quickly (activated and transferred data). My Father likes the cell phone a lot. Best Tech Rep ever! Milpitas Staff rocks!!! Kudos!! Oh, this was an upgrade from the iPhone 6s on the account.

    A few days before my shipment came in. My old phone started having issues. So the timing and arrival of my new iPhone, was perfect. The new iPhone SE 2, works great. However, I didn’t get my $500 gift card from Bestbuy.com.

    This is a very nice upgrade from the first gen. If you’re looking for a smaller phone with large storage capacity and a good mix of iPhone’s newer products, this is it.

    Took awhile to get used to an apple after android for years. Worse part was transferring contacts and such. Took 23hours. But now all good. Apple location is great.

    Phone was as expected. After seeing the difference in photo quality compared to Iphone 12, it explains the price difference. Overall, still happy with the purchase.

    It does exactly what my 6s did. No different, still freezes and I got 256g so I’d have more room and it keeps telling me my iCloud is full for me to buy more space. Thinking of returning the phone and use my 6S no wonder it’s cheap. They should give it for free all they did was change the 6S to SE 2020. Not happy at all
