    Got the phone for my veteran grandfather so he could use the Apple Watch I just bought him after he had a heart attack. The phone is amazing he loves it and the watch is tracking his vitals making everyone feel much better about him going about his day to day tasks. The open box deal is amazing, as someone paying for college tuition every dollar saved counts.

    These phones are advertised as Apple’s entry level phones but in reality they are very capable little machines. Battery life is great, phone is amazingly fast, and to top it off, it’s got that old school very sleek iPhone 7 look. Great buy, that should last for years to come.

    PROS -Better battery life than my old se 2nd gen -Love the home button and touch ID -64GB is just enough for me because I don’t take an insane amount of pictures plus I have icloud storage. -decent price CONS -still wish the battery lasted longer (I know keeping the brightness down and using low power mode can defintely help with that).

    Overall this is an amazing phone for the price! You are getting the same processor as the iPhone 13 but in a smaller form factor. Phone is fast and a reliable second phone for me for my business.

    The iPhone SE (2022) has a classic iPhone design with a Touch ID home button and thick bezels. It's not the most modern-looThe iPhone SE (2022) is a great choice for people who want a powerful and affordable iPhone. It has a classic design, excellent performance, and a good camera. If you're looking for a small phone, the iPhone SE (2022) is one of the best options available. Pros: Affordable price Excellent performance Good camera Long-term software support Cons: Classic design with thick bezels Average battery life Small display

    This phone is perfect. The battery life is amazing. I don’t really like big phones and this phone is the perfect size. It’s also very fast and responsive. The home button is key for me.

    Perfect for dad

    This is the PERFECT phone for my dad who is in his mid 60’s. He was a “I only want a dumb phone” kind of person, insisting that he would only use (and not break) a flip phone, but we finally convinced him to try out an iPhone and it has been pure bliss for both of us, it’s easy to use and understand for him, and it’s so much less work I have to do for the phone as well. We’ve had this phone for a couple months now and he’s had no issues with performance, battery, nothing. The only drawback is that it is smaller (of course) and setting the display to the biggest font possible does cause usability issues but that hasn’t been too bad. Overall, it’s a perfect senior 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.

    Although its the lowest level of Iphone, but the size is proper to put into pocket, 5G connection, cpu is fast, compete with Iphone 13 but price is much lower. The best is it supports one physical sim and one esim, perfect fit when your mno doesnt provide international roaming.

    Other than the addition of battery life. Most changes from the SE 2 are small. HOWEVER, still a quality, very reliable device. Small changes include performance, display, and camera. But again minute improvements.

    I love my Apple-Iphone SE (3rd Generation)64GB (Unlocked) = Black . It works well, much faster than my previous phone. I have been using Apple Iphones for many years and prefer them over Android phones now. They're very dependable and are amazing products. Thanks, Best Buy!

    I replaced a 2nd gen SE with this one. I did look at all the newer Iphones, but I liked the size and home button SE have. The 3rd gen battery is far better than the 2nd gen. My 2nd gen battery life was 82 and would last a day. With simular usage the 3rd gen battery lasts 3 days.

    After more than 20 years using android phones we decided to change to iPhones. There are so many little differences, mostly things you don’t expect. The best part of the purchase was Alana, the employee who helped us and how helpful she was. She answered all our questions and made sure we knew how to contact her if we had any questions. She was helpful and knowledgeable and encouraging,

    My wife and I, our 1st iPhones, graduating from flip phones, finally. Only disappointment: we were angry they aren't offered at Best Buy, new and unlocked, in 128GB. Only 64GB and we wanted them NEW. But they work GREAT!

    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.

    Needed a replacement phone and havent had an iPhone in a while but needed something that wasnt expensive so lucked out that this was on sale. It was compact, small, easy to use plus set up, and works perfectly. I think its a legit phone for the price. If you want a better camera then dont get this, but if you just need it simply as a phone to talk, text, connect to your apple watch, and then some then get it. A good secondary phone to have or great for kids.
