    I like the Apple phones but I don't need the latest and greatest. This phone serves its purpose. Takes decent pictures and responds nicely. Battery life not the best to more advanced phones but works for me.

    Can't go wrong with this model. Powerful specs in a small frame. If you are transitioning from an iPhone 8 or older, and have not transitioned to face id and no home button, this is the best choice.

    Excellent little IPhone, replaced my 6S that had an absolutely horrible battery in it. Perfect size, great product. Would buy again but hopefully this battery has a better life.

    I upgraded from an iPhone 6 and noticed a great difference between the two. The camera on this phone is miles better than my old phone and I can do a lot more on it without it slowing down.

    I really like the new IPhone SE. It has many of the same features as the IPhone 7 that I had previously. Makes it easier to transition to a new phone. Great camera!

    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.

    This phone is great it is small enough to fit in my hand and make phone calls and texts without dropping it or fumbling to use my other hand. It has all the basic features at least that I need and it's sufficient memory and storage.

    I had the iPhone 5 for a long time and had no issues other than the battery was failing and could no longer update. I wanted an easy to use phone that was NOT large. I went to Best Buy, Vestal, NY and worked with Nathan C. He was amazing and spent a good amount of time with me explaining the differences in phones and pros/cons to match my needs. I couldn't have done this without him. I felt working with the team at Best Buy was better due to the personal service, patience, and understanding of my needs coming first, not just making a sale and I was spot on. Best Buy is now my go-to store when needing appliances, electronics, or help. Thank you, Nathan!!! Oh...I've had my new iPhone SE about 10 days and LOVE it!

    Bought this phone to replace a Google Pixel. Like the size (smaller than iPhone 11) and camera is great. Price is much cheaper than iPhone 11 but phone has great features.

    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!

    Really like the size of the previous SE. This one is bigger but upgraded because my battery seemed to be a problem. Nice to have the updates and the price can't be beat.

    I had the original SE which needed to be replaced. I like the slightly bigger screen and the additional memory. It is a good fit for what I need and do.

    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.

    Picked this up to upgrade my mother-in-laws aging iPhone 5s. This is the only model to still have a home key which was a must. Like all iPhones the data transfer was simple and she has a phone that will keep her going for years. It’s a great device, especially if you don’t feel like dropping major bucks on the top of the line model. It has all the features you need. Great for anyone who just want a simple, quality smartphone.

    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.
