    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.

    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.

    It's the best option for those looking for this size of iphone. The only other options are buying older phones used. Hopefully another smaller option will be available someday.

    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.

    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 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!

    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!
