    Awesome phone. I really don't understand why anyone would buy the more expensive iPhones. It's the right size. Fast, and the screen looks great. The camera is very good.

    I got this for my dad as an early Father's Day present. It's his first iPhone and despite being technologically inept, he's taken to it very quickly. It's not large and bulky, but the perfect size to keep on his belt or in his pocket.

    I like this iPhone a lot. It’s great value, and nice if you want a smaller phone. Do get a good case for it though because it’s a bit slippery and I’ve dropped it easily.

    Bought this as a first time smartphone for an older relative. I’ve been a long time iPhone user and thought it would be best for us to be on the same ecosystem. I’m really impressed with the speed and quality of the build for a “budget friendly” iPhone. It’s even faster than my iPhone 8 Plus. Tempted to get one myself if it weren’t for the new models coming out just around the corner.

    I love my new IPhone SE!! I upgraded from a 7plus. I lost some some size, but it’s so worth it. The camera is amazing. It’s so much faster. And the price? Come on! $250.00 for a brand new IPhone is much bettter than $1,000.

    I use a cellphone as a phone first and foremost and this is a great phone. The other features are nice, but not what I need the most. Having a camera, calendar, or email at my fingertips is helpful And they can save me time when I am on the go but the quality of the sound on the phone is superior. And just because the memory space is there I have even moved a couple of my favorite music albums, and ebooks to it so when I’m bored I have something to do. Ok I guess it’s more than just a phone and they have made it so easy I didn’t even know I was enjoying it so much.

    Its a great budget phone! Battery life is not the greatest but for the price and the compact size compared to the other big flagship phone, this is a great little phone!

    The size of an iPhone 6s, everything that an iPhone 11 has, and a home button. Need I say more. This phone is cheaper than any new iPhone with the same features as an iPhone 11.

    I upgraded my iPhone 6 to the iPhone SE 2nd Gen (red). I loved my iPhone 6 but wanted more storage. I purchased the SE 2nd Gen iPhone the week it was available. It is the same size (dimensions) as the iPhone 6 and 8; so I can still use the leather case with charger that I've been using for the 6. With the SE 2nd Gen, I not only get more storage but it comes with the fastest processor and a very good camera. It was a breeze to transfer all data and files from the 6 to the SE. Simple instructions. Basically all you have to do is place one phone on top of the other. In less than 10 minutes, the SE clones all info from the old phone. I was amazed how easy the process was. Thank you Apple!

    I AM ENJOYING THE PHONE. THE PHONE IS EASY TO USE AND TO CARRY. IT IS NOT BULKY. POWERHOUSE IN A SMALLER EXTERIOR. I HAD AN IPHONE 6 PLUS AND LIKE THE FEEL OF THIS MUCH MORE.

    My husband loves his new cell phone. It’s his first ever smart phone. It took a little bit to get used to, but he’s been doing just great and has never had an issue. iPhone products are much easier to use than androids. I’ve been using iPads for years, so I can help him if needed. Seriously, this phone is just the right size and I highly recommend Apple products like this iPhone.

    If you aren’t ready to give up a home button, or just don’t want to drop a grand on a phone, this phone is for you. It has an improved camera over the 8, and a great price!

    The size of the new SE is good for my smallish hands. The camera is better than that in the first generation. However, the phone I got had a problem with the touch screen. I took it to the Geek Squad at Northgate in Seattle. Xavier and Jeff, both friendly and super attentive, helped me. They spent a lot of time figuring out what the problem was and how to fix it and determined the phone needed a new KGB display. The repair unit was in stock and Jeff did the repair right then. It took about 45 minutes. Outstanding service! Four stars because the phone had an issue right out of the box. Apple's quality control must have been asleep on the job.

    My first iPhone. I waited for SE2 to come back. Not disappointed. I wanted the smaller, less expensive model. Apple hit a home run here. Mine is the white one.

    I bought this phone for my grandma so she can use her Echo Spot, which we gave her on Christmas 2019. Since she still was using my old LG phone, it’s time to upgrade her phone. So far, she likes the FaceTime feature and able to use her new iPhone for browsing and watching her favorite shows. Highly recommend without the high price.

    If you want value in an iPhone, get the SE. It will do everything you need. Be sure to get an OtterBox to protect it. If you're an insecure person who needs to spend over $1,000 to impress people who you don't even like, then get the fanciest model you can. We'll all be laughing at you when you drop it on the concrete sidewalk.
