    Easy to use, small enough for pockets.. just the right amount of storage and functionality for basic use. Perfect for someone who uses it as a phone, not a computer

    Just by being refurbished and unlocked, this phone is very durable and reliable. It has survived being submerged in water twice, has been dropped many times on regular floors, and still works pretty great. Definitely recommend.

    Upgrading from I phone 8 but did not want to increase size of phone. Very happy with this purchase, right sized, minimal learning curve to use, and good for any updates. Very happy with Best Buy team member ‘S service.

    Good battery life and has a powerful processor. Plus, all the cheap iPhone 8 accessories work with it. Touch ID is blazing fast and is supported anywhere an app prompts for face ID.

    iPhone SE series have served me very well !!

    The iPhone SE series have always been a favorite for me. I prefer a smaller phone. Each one of the 3 different models have served me very well, since the 1st one came out years ago. Looking forward to (or) hoping for a 4th generation SE, which is supposed to come out in 2024. Incidentally my family still uses the same iPhone SE 1st generation, since we purchased it in 2017. Wow 6 years, and still keeps on ticking! We get a kick out of it, when someone happens to notice it, and comments on how small it is. Others may also say, I want one that small.

    I’ve been much happier with this iPhone SE 3 than the se 2, which was a great phone. The A15 processor plus slightly larger capacity makes a big difference. With light use the battery can last all day. With heavier use, I have to charge it one in the middle of the day. I was disappointed that Apple discontinued the se series at they were great phones for not too much money compared to the android phones.

    Excellent budget iphone! My old iPhone was giving me so many issues and not allowing me to download apps anymore. This had more space for me and runs so much more smoother.

    I had to give up my iPhone 14. To have a new phone, I bought a 3rd gen SE. I thought I would be sad with a smaller phone, but I got surprised with the new 3rd Gen SE! Camera take great photos as well! Its good to hold in my hand too! It did not disappoint at all! Wow! Thank you!

    iPhone SE (3rd Gen) very Dependable Phone.

    The iPhone SE (3rd Gen) has been very dependable. Holds a charge for over 24 Hours. Has god contrast and brightness. I not only use it as a phone but as a display mdevice for my DJI Mini Series drone. It works well extending what I cansee when the drone is a sopot on the horizon. Unlike the newer model iPhones, the iPhone is easy to use. No fancy slde upd to get to the Icon you need.

    I usually have to get a new phone every 5-6 yrs and this time around went with a mid, something simple and compact. Very nice design and very fast I would recommend.

    Was a good phone. Not so good outdoors — screen wasn’t bright enough. Love how pocketable it was. Worked really well with T-Mobile. For my use the battery lasted me enough.

    Phenomenal small iPhone SE was a great choice for my needs. Highly recommended for a person that wants a smaller iPhone, the SE is great! The Mobile Representative was outstanding, with his friendly demeanor, experience, and patience made this transaction possible, in a seamlessly efficient manner.
