    Terrible phone doesn't belong in 2023

    In 2014, Apple came out with the iPhone 6 plus, and was the first iPhone to have a screen bigger than 4.7". That was 9 years ago. I had a iPhone SE 2020 the year it came out. And I liked it except for the screen size. I wish I did my research. I naively assumed that a newer model of that phone would be better than the previous. After all, we upgrade phones when they come out, not downgrade or stay the same. The fact that in 2022 they would offer this phone for $429 is insane. You'll find a bigger screen a $30 prepaid phone. They didn't have one on display when I purchased it. I walked out of the store, got to the car, and immediately returned it for a Pixel 7. For the same price, you get a 6.3" AMOLED 90hz screen, double the storage at from 64gb to 128gb, double the ram from 4gb to 8gb, a 50mp main camera and 12mp ultra wide compared to a single 12mp camera, which is a massive difference, and a 4355mAh battery vs a 2018mAh battery. My previous phone, which id highly recommend, was a Moto G Stylus 5g and it's half the price of both these phones with a huge 6..8" screen, quad cameras with 48mp main, 256gb storage and its expandable, and a 5000mAh battery. If you want a flagship device for an awesome price and great specs, go with the Pixel 7. Budget phone? Motorola makes really good phones nowadays, and they're WAY better than any "A" series Samsung phones. But if you want a screen smaller than ones 9 years ago in 2014, with a fraction of the storage, ram,.and battery life, for the same price or more, get the iPhone SE 2022.

    Greatest product for lowest budget

    The appearance design of iPhone SE3 is simple and exquisite, mainly in black, showing the consistent sense of technology and fashion of iPhone. The fuselage adopts a closed structure design, so that it has excellent waterproof performance. Even if it accidentally touches water in daily use, it is not easy to be damaged. At the same time, the mobile phone adopts a solid glass panel, which makes the color performance more realistic and reduces distortion and color bias. Overall, the design of the iPhone SE3 is excellent in both appearance and internal structure. The iPhone SE3 is equipped with an A15 bionic chip, which is one of Apple's most advanced processors at present, with excellent running performance and processing power. In daily use, the iPhone SE3 can quickly load multiple applications and refuse to delay. At the same time, iPhone SE3 supports 5G network speed and responds faster, so that users do not have to wait for a long time. In addition, iPhone SE3 also supports touch ID function, which can quickly identify fingerprints and unlock quickly. Users do not need to wait for a long time to use the phone. Overall, the performance of iPhone SE3 is excellent and can meet the various needs of users.

    Due to retirement of 7+ I had to make a decision.

    I considered upgrading to an unlocked 1 Gig iPhone 14 Pro Max but still there were too many trade offs. I hate both the notch and Face ID so a 14+ was out. So looking at the 14 Pro Max with no Fingerprint ID and a glorified cut out made glaringly present in the form of the Dynamic Island with a $2K price tag and I just couldn’t justify it. So I looked at the SE 3 (2022) with the same processor as the 14 & 14+. Though I was reluctant as I have been using my iPhone 7+ since 2016 and enjoy the larger size I thought that maybe I’ll just get this for a cycle or two until Apple gets out of its own way. But I actually like it. The camera is certainly a trade off and only having 256G is limiting but it is very fast and beyond those limitations I have no real functionality complaints. I like the SE 3 and at 1/4 the price of an iPhone 14 Pro Max I’ll live with the feature limitations until Apple gets rid of any form of a screen carve out.
