    I wasn't sure about this phone at first, but it is really nice. It is smaller and light, but I really don't mind that because the speed of it, the camera, and the capabilities it brings makes it all worth it.

    It is a great phone. It is essentially a supped up iPhone 8 and honestly there is no problem with that. It is great not to large but also not tiny, get touch ID which is awesome. It also has a great camera and gets the standard early IP67 water resistance rating. It has a smaller battery life than other smartphones but still will last the whole day and charges within 30 minutes due to its fast charging ability. Overall a great (more affordable) iPhone

    Bought for aging mother who didn't want to spend a lot of money. She learned through a book called "iPhone for Dummies" or something like that, together with some tutoring. So far, so good. She's happy with it and it didn't break the bank relative to other phones. She doesn't use it for much more than text, phone calls, and email together with some occasional web use. Needed something more than the flip phone.

    Amazing phone for the price it holds. It has all the features except for the advanced camera features as you would see in iPhone 11 or 12. Other than that it fast, opens vast and complex documents, handy and durable. Good phone for the most of the purpose at a cheap price. I have iphone 11 pro max and cant see a huge difference between them except for the camera features.

    Great Apple product as usual! Never had a smartphone before but have Apple computers and love them. It was a pretty easy transition and didn’t take long to figure out basic functions. Takes great photos, great response to touch and is just super fast overall. Would recommend. Thought about the 12 mini at first but it was too costly... this was a really great compromise on price for the quality.

    I upgraded from the 6s, so this phone is practically identical - though the camera is much better and portrait mode is a nice feature. Very impressed with the battery life. I could go almost 2 days without needing to charge it, but of course this depends on how much you use your phone. I hope the new iPhone has better battery longevity.

    I was debating between this SE, the 12 Mini and the 11. I decided it wasn't worth dishing out the extra money on the 12 Mini. The only benefit to the 12 mini would be 5G but I don't care if I have 5G. Apple is already dropping the modem that they are using in the 12 so you know the 12 is a guinea pig for 5G. They'll probably do what they did with the X and discontinue the 12 once the 13 comes out. I was only debating on getting the 11 for the battery. Every review trashes the SE battery life. I didn't want the bulk of the 11 in my pocket so I decided on just getting the SE. The plan was if the battery is terrible, I'll just get the battery case and double the battery life. That way I don't have a huge phone and it's still cheaper than the 11. I charge my phone to 100% in the morning and get two days out of it. My usage is 2 hours a day of talk time, text, check email and order food from my phone. My battery life would probably be better but I spend good chunks of time underground where no phone can get service. When your phone is constantly searching for signal it just eats battery. It's plenty fast. It'll get years of updates optimized for your hardware which is good. I replaced my Pixel with this. The Pixel would get updates every month and wouldn't resolve old bugs. It would just create more bugs. Google doesn't care about the OS the way Apple does. If Apple has a bug, they'll have an update in a week or so to resolve it if it's a major issue. Google will only send a new update to their Pixel phones once a month in the first week. Androids team is more concerned with deployment of OS updates right now. Their priority is the rollout of updates. They don't want to make large deployments but push out features on a rolling basis. They don't spend too much time on the actual OS and you can tell. iOS is better hands down. /Rant. Get the SE. Save your money. Hardware is solid because it's an old design that works. You'll get software updates for years. It's crazy what kind of computing power you get for the money.

    So I was going back and forth between the IPhone 11 and IPhone SE. Honestly it’s cheaper in price and it’s a very fast phone. I haven’t had any issues. Love Love Love the camera! And when I watch movies and listen to music everything is so clear from the picture and the sound. This is a awesome phone for the price.

    The 2020 iPhone SE is a great smartphone that has everything that a phone needs... and then some. It is just as fast and has just as clear of display as the “nicer” iPhones, but at half the cost! I think the biggest difference is the camera, but the 2020 SE’s camera is still better than my old iPhone 6s (RIP). Definitely satisfied with my purchase and with the money I saved overall. Thank you.

    I have an iPhone XR but have a job that requires a face mask. I picked this phone up to use until things are back to normal and, wow, it's great! It took a full day to get used to the small screen again but once that battle was won it felt great! The phone does not lag, takes great photos and video, and works great. The only downside is the battery but I knew this coming in. Good purchase!

    Ordered this as a replacement for a previous model iPhone. This one is affordable and has all of the bells and whistles that I need for my daily usage. I have an iPhone 11 for work and I actually find this model to be much easier to use, especially now that we are all wearing masks and face id is not working as smoothly as before. glad I decided to go with this phone.
