    The camera is slightly better than iPhone 8. I think my iPhone 7 Plus had a better camera. I didn’t buy it for that reason though. I got it for the Biochip and battery life. It’s meet my expectations. Face ID would have been cool addition tho

    I like to own my phones. If you have the money grab you a unlocked phone. You can take to whatever service when you like and for however long you like. Great size for my second phone

    I needed a new phone, so it did a good job of being one and its pretty smooth and fast. Although the battery is straight trash, i don't even have many apps downloaded because i don't do gaming or socail media and yet the battery remains to suck. I felt like i just bought a second hand iphone 6 with no lag and with a glassback .

    I was looking to replace an iphone6S for a reasonable price and the salesman recommended the iPhone SE. It is the same size so I could use my cover from my 6S. The only slight difference is the home button. It has one, but you have to press a little harder. Very pleased with the price and the phone.

    Phone was in excellent condition for an open box item. My only issue was the charger that was sent didn't work with the power block and there weren't any headphones. Though I can't remember if my open box said it came with headphones so I don't fault that. Phone works great though.

    An okay phone

    Okay for an iPhone of course. I'd had the original iPhone se and I loved how small it was, and durable too. I waited so long for this one that I'm a little weary. I had the 7 plus too but it was so big. I love the size mostly, but my screen once went black and I couldn't answer calls or anything (this happened a couple months after purchasing). I took it to the store and they charged me nothing to replace the screen. Yet I think such a new phone shouldn't be malfunctioning like that...to each their own right. I'll keep it as long as it lasts, but I think this is my last apple device ill purchase. It wasn't worth calling it the iPhone se 2. It's more like a refurbished iPhone 8...still affordable, but no longer durable and long-lasting as the previous iPhone models or the new expensive ones.

    I like a phone that fits in my pocket. This one is the same size as the iPhone 7 but features the newest processor/chip, not the camera though. So far battery life has been great, charging every other day with plenty to spare.

    Finally, a more affordable iPhone option. My daughter wanted to stay in iOS and it's hard to justify the cost associated with these phones. This SE model was a good compromise. She's been very happy with the phone.

    I purchased this phone for my father for Father’s Day and it’s been a perches phone. He isn’t very tech savvy but he’s been able to figure it out with help. You can’t beat the price either. Great phone for the price!

    The iPhone SE is the best value for a great phone that does everything. I have never had an iPhone and this model is extremely easy to use and sending text by voice is awesome.

    this is a great phone for the money. I like the smaller size and it’s nice to have the finger print ID since facial recognition is a pain wearing a face mask.

    Best $400?bucks I’ve ever spent on a phone. It feels premium but it’s a great him so I still hear you buy a case with this. It’s fast and battery is good. It’s 720p but that’s fine I don’t notice it.

    Easy to hold iPhone at a low price. Overall, if you don't need a large phone then iPhone SE will work. Note that iPhone 12 mini is of similar size but has larger screen but then it's also way more expensive.

    Apple quality, no compliant, meet expectation. The phone is excellent size for the small hand and the price is within the range. No issue with the battery. Hope it will last five years with its A13 core.

    I bought it to my son. He loves it. The only problem with this phone is battery life time, it will go so fast when you have a teenager watching memes on it for a couple of hours.
