    Best Budget iPhone

    This phone is everything I look for in a phone. Fast. Reliable. Excellent cameras. Nice build quality. I’m not always on my phone 24/7 so the size of the display doesn’t matter much to me. This iPhone SE nails the basics and does much more.

    I had an iPhone 6s for a while so I decided to get a new phone. This works great for people who like small iPhones. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles with the flagship phones, but it works great if you want a compact phone that is familiar.

    Great size, screen, battery, and price. Bought for our 9 year old to use on WiFi. Don’t let the price fool you. Crazy nice phone and my oldest considered trading the youngest giving up an iPhone 11 because of the nice size of the SE.

    Lost my old Samsung S8 and decided to switch over to Apple because it was the cheapest of the ones that I was looking at and I love my new I Phone! So glad Apple still offers a phone that has a button on the bottom because I love my button!

    Needed something durable and budget friendly, so I went with the iPhone SE. Camera is great, build quality is great, and the performance is great. I know Apple will update these phones for many years to come so it's a pretty solid choice.

    I have not had it long, but it’s a little more power then my iPhone 8, and at 399, it’s appears to be a pretty good value, hey it gets on the net, you can text, and make a call, good enough for me, 1000 for a phone? No thank you

    Great phone. Purchased for my mom last year for mothers days. She previously had a 7 and wanted another iPhone that had the home button. This was a huge upgrade for her and it didn't cost too much compared to the 11's and 12's.

    Who doesn't want an Iphone SE. Basically this is very affordable and it's made by apple. This phone is packed and not slow. Basically it does the job done. Perfect for students like me that is on a budget during this pandemic.

    This phone does the job. It was very inexpensive as cell phones go but is very fast and powerful. The camera isn't the best but it works to produce OK video. Battery life isn't great.

    Finally upgraded my 5S to the new SE. The phone has a clear display, takes great photos and is easy to use. Definitely need to keep this iPhone in a case as it is super slippery and can easily move with the vibration on.

    My husband wanted a phone that would fit in his front shirt pocket. It’s an ok phone. Battery runs down fast. The camera doesn’t take very good pictures or video. I personally don’t like it, but I’ve got a bigger phone.

    I do like my phone, but how do I get rid of all those extra apps that seem to be dragging my battery down? I am charging this on almost a daily basis? I thought I had to do that on my old phone because it was old and the battery smaller! I am finally getting used to the smaller size for texting..

    Nice compact unit, easy to operate, camera takes great shots. Wish the tele lens brought far away items a little closer, but still it is easy to operate.

    Took my iPhone 6s swimming so needed a replacement. I liked the size and this SE is the same size and the price is affordable. I did need to order another cover as the camera didn’t line up with my existing 6s cover.

    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.

    Apple has been lacking a budget iPhone for quite some time. That ends now. The fact that $400 gets you a top of the line processor and amazing camera is very welcome. The 64gb of storage is great as well.

    Definitely a bit underwhelming in 2021, as far as the design/aesthetic goes, but for the price this phone has been a steal. At least when compared to the rest of the Apple iPhone lineup currently. I have had no issues with any6 aspect of this phone. Battery lasts close to a full day, if not a full day, (depending on use), a solid camera, access to all of the apps available in the App Store (not limited by phones software being outdated) and you know you will not have to worry about updating in 2 years because it is no longer supported by Apple. I’ll certainly be upgrading soon but that’s because I prefer a larger screen.
