    Steve Jobs legacy and Apple's most sensible device

    I think this the last phone the reflects Steve jobs legacy. Every other iPhone model other than this has gone fundamentally wrong in the most basic things. Gestures or swiping to return to Home Screen is so dumb and confusing instead of home button. FaceId is a joke in front of Touch ID. I wonder which stupid at apple made a decision not to put Face ID in laptops and remove Touch ID from phones. I love windows hello on my laptop and hate face id on iPhones. This phone feels so sleek and comfortable to hold and operate with one hand. Not everyone has Shaq sized hands. The only thing that might me downgrade is the camera's and that too..Nobody wants three cameras. Just have one which takes good photos. I wish they keep this form factor along with the home button and sleekness with updating the processors and ram.

    Slight improvement over model 12, base memory starts at 128gb which is advantage over iPhone 12 which starts at 64gb. The red color is darker and looks good. Camera quality is better.

    Recently upgraded from the iPhone 5 to the iPhone SE. I am not a big phone user, Apple stopped upgrading my OS and I needed more than 16gb of space. If you do not desire to go all the way with the iPhone 14 then this phone would satisfy your daily needs.

    Best Buy was excellent in the deal for the 3rd generation of the Apple IPhone SE. Everything went very smoothly as the software update was completed and all info from my previous Apple phone was done. I have purchased so much from Best Buy and spend so much time there, I feel like I should clock in.

    My son love his iPhone SE it is prefect for him; the phone is 5G so it’s an up to date phone with the iPhone 6,7 & 8 look & feel for those who love that phone but want up to date technology. I have small hands & I can text with one hand on that phone !! My son love the finger print button he doesn’t like the Face ID.

    Great value for my daughters 13th birthday present . She was coming from an iPhone 7 and this allows her to have most of the new features without breaking the bank. Also being able to do Best Buy trade in promo I got $200 off the device .

    Apple it seems, does consistently Attempt to make an economical alternative to their much advertised products. The advertisements are for there high dollar products. When I needed a new computer I couldn’t afford a new Mac with all the bells and whistles, but Apple does make and sell a Mac mini. The iPhone SE3rd gen does that for the iPhone. I love it

    Wanted a smaller iPhone. Tried the mini but the square side felt awackward to me. The SE feels better in the hand (still hate those bezels) and fits better with my active life style. After dumping the apple watch stand-alone for the Garmin Fenix watches (Garmin makes a superior product), I needed something small enough and out of the way. This fit the bill.
