    I needed a smaller phone to carry in a pocket. This is just perfect. It recharges quickly and takes great pictures.

    for my need, and its price, this is the best 4” screen phone in my opinion. it’s fast, good battery life, very good camera systems (front and back). iOS 10 is superb. Very clean and minimal design. super light and small that just becomes unnoticeable.

    Perfect small phone for my 17 year old son

    My son needed a small phone, he is 17 and he works with his Uncle doing Pool work, well his lg phone hit the pavement and shattered. So, I had to find something smaller, so it would stay in his pocket. This iPhone se is perfect for him. He loves it. I have an iPhone 7 plus, and we now play games through the iMessage app. It is so much fun. The camera is very good, he even used this in his photography class in high school, it took awesome pics, he got an A in the class. He and I are very happy with his new iPhone se. If you like smaller phones, and you like iPhones, this is the phone for you!

    I received this phone when something happened to mine when having a shield put on it. I find typing on this phone difficult (constantly mistyping). But overall the phone is suitable considering it is an older model... it is fast, the camera is good. It has less capacity than I had with my original phone which requires my cleaning out photos and not storing too much music. I would recommend this phone to someone who prefers not to put down the money for a recent model.

    It is much faster at sending texts than the old 4 I have. Takes better pictures and I like the medical storage app. May come in handy in an emergency. I like the rose gold cover it has. Very chic.

    SE is a good alternative

    The SE is a nice choice if you don't want to go for the increased size/features of the iPhone 7 and up. The size is just like the 5S I had which fits nicely in my pocket. They've improved the camera and some processing features. Since I use my phone .... AS A PHONE ... and for e-mail & texting - this fits my needs perfectly.

    The iPhone SE has been a great phone. It is small, quick, pretty good camera and has great battery life. I do not miss the larger phones at all and hope Apple and others continue to make smaller phones.

    I have been avoiding selling my soul and getting a smart phone for some time. However, my trustee Samsung Intensity III finally died and I decided to get the iPhone SE and really like that it is lightweight, has a good camera, and is smaller than most of the mini tablets out there.
