    Great small form phone

    I’ve been waiting for Apple to come out with a small form phone for many years, Also wanted Touch ID rather than Face ID which this phone has. Purchased this one and am very happy with it. Giving 4 stars rather than 5 because it does not have a headphone jack and the battery life is not as good as other phones on the market.

    I had the iPhone 7 and moving to the iPhone se, means that the size of my phone remains pocket sized. Perfect front pocket fit. It really is just a more powerful iphone7. You also get a year of appleTV for free.

    I upgraded phones from an iPhone 6 but didn’t want to get a “tv” that I had to carry around all the time. This one is the same size as my old one, it just works 100 times better and is much faster.

    I had the first edition of the se and I was looking for more storage, so I chose the upgraded se. I’m still getting used to the larger size phone in my hand... I have small hands, but so far the phone is working as expected.

    I switched back to an iphone from a few years of using an Android phone. I picked this model as I like the physical home button. This phone works as expected. No thrill but solid and good all around.

    I bought this phone for my husband. This phone was delivered next day and was a cinch to set up. It runs fast and is very reasonably priced. Great product.

    It's the perfect iphone for a teenager. Sure you can spend more, but why bother when they will likely drop it or lose it.
