    the size of the iPhone SE fits well in hand. surprisingly, the camera operates very well, taking solid pictures as compared to the iPhone 6. battery life is all day and the processing speed of the update soundly beats the iPhone 5s. the drawback is its smaller screen but then it encourages you not to be glued to your phone all the time-- making you a consumer of life and not digital content.

    This is my husbands phone and he enjoys it. He loves the small screen size, as he does not like big phones, so it is easy to handle. He has had it for a while and has had some small issues with it, which he has not been happy with. Overall, he likes the phone.

    So Pleased - Upgraded From 6+

    I was an early adopter of the iPhone 6+ but always had trouble with the phone being too large. I loved the phone and I am not here to change anyone's mind on the size of the iPhone - in my opinion it is entirely subjective to the user. I enjoyed going back to the smaller size. It just feels better in my hand and it feels more "normal." Speed, camera and IOS are all a plus.

    I love my updated IPhone SE with 64mb storage. My first iPhone was an IPhone 5s. I had had it forever because I love the Iphone, but not the bigger sizes. The SE is the same size as my old phone. Having arthritis and small hands, it is just great! An added bonus is it still fits in my pocket.

    I upgraded my iPhone 5 to a 6 as I was ready for a faster processor, but I hated how big my phone was. I already have a tablet and use that if I need more screen real estate but I was satisfied with the new processor and camera and the finger print reader really changed how I used my phone. Now that I can have all those benefits in the smaller form factor I'm very happy.

    Daughter Loves it

    My daughter is 17 and she is a very petite girl, and doesn't like the trend of all the new phones getting bigger and bigger because they don't fit in her hand very well...so this phone fits the bill perfectly. I'm glad they offer it in a great number of memory options and 64 GB seems to be the perfect size. Solid performing phone for her and she loves it.

    My 5s was stolen and the SE came out a week later. So happy. I didn't want the bigger 6s iPhone because the 5 style fits my purse, pockets better. Now I have all the upgrades of a 6s in the smaller size. It is so fast. I am having so much fun with it. I didn't give up any of the newer features

    Apple iPhone SE has a 4-inch Retina Display. The smartphone comes with 12-megapixel iSight rear camera with support for Live Photos and 4K video support and 1.2-megapixel FaceTime camera with Retina Flash. I simply love this its performance till now, It is powered by an A9 processor paired with M9 co-processor. The iPhone SE also supports always-on ‘Hey Siri’ feature. Connectivity options include 4G LTE, VoLTE and Bluetooth 4.2. It runs iOS 9.3 out of the box. Size is perfect to handle not bulky and good for work and entertainment purpose

    I had thought about getting this phone for a while and then finally my IPhone 5C started acting up, so I figured it was time. This phone is great, I can put more apps and music on it, takes excellent pictures, its a lot faster, and the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities are always handy. No complaints. Has everything I need :)

    I did not read any reviews for this phone. In fact I read reviews for other phones and I was real close to getting something else. My girlfriend recently bought this phone and convinced me this was a worthy buy. For 1) I got a GREAT deal with a 64 gb. I'm not much for apps but I take photos and upload music so I plan to NEVER see that " not enough space" message again. 2) The camera is pretty awesome! It is comparable to many of the other top of the line phones. 3) I was already an iPhone user and it is extremely nice that I can use the cloud and Apple ID to resurrect all my old info. I recently bought an iPad too and I love how when I type up a note or reminder on the iPad it will also be on my iPhone. This is a powerful little phone. 4) I don't watch videos on my phone because of my iPad but the picture is awesome!

    Great size, small enough to go in the pocket, and large enough to view the screen. Very easy to use and find what you are looking for, or you just ask Siri for what you want. Easy to find wi-fi and connect, battery can last days with Wi-Fi connection versus the data over phone line. Excellent phone.

    Upgraded from an iPhone 4. Performance is exceptional. I sprung on this release day because of form factor. I didn't want a phone that was too large. the few differences from a 6s to this were not important to me, mainly front facing camera and 3D Touch. Everything else is same as 6s in small body.

    I didn't need a new phone, my wife did. We decided to both get the new I phone SE. I like how slender & small it is. It's also very user friendly. I especially like Siri. She makes calls, sends texts, finds music, etc. the camera is really nice too, takes great pictures, including live ones.

    My iPhone 5 was long in the tooth and underpowered by current standards. This one has a more modern processor, more memory, and is the fit-in-shirtpocket size I want. A no-brainer.

    Iphone 6 mini

    it's basically the Iphone 6 in a smaller much more manageable form factor. I know there are a lot of folks who don't like large phones. They like larges screens don't get me wrong but not at the price of increasing the size of their phones. If that describes you, then this is the phone for you. You get the fast performance of the iphone 6 in a miniscule body with the same great hardware like the processor, camera and touch ID button.

    The King of Small Phones

    I'm a long time Android user, but the announcement of a super small, extremely powerful iPhone sounded intriguing enough to lure me in. I was getting a little tired of not being able to fit my phone in my pocket or use it one handed, so I made the jump to iPhone for the time being. I hope that manufacturers will follow their lead and we see some interesting small form factor Android phones soon. The hardware is fantastic. Nice premium metal body, peppy processor, decent ram for the platform, and a very nice camera. The screen resolution seems low, but on the small screen pixels can't be seen without a magnifying glass. The fingerprint reader is super convenient and accurate. The only complaint I have is the low resolution front camera. I have mixed feelings about the software. I don't like the hidden file system, unintuitive gestures hamper the user experience, and most of the settings are only accessible outside of the applications in the settings area of the phone. The notification system is a mess that seems haphazardly copied from Android's implementation. The snappiness, security, and stability are A+ though. I don't know if I will stay with Apple after this device, but I do plan on getting 2 good years of usage out of the SE.

    Just What I Expected--An Up-To-Date iPhone-5

    This replaces my iPhone-5, which was working fine. I wanted an up-to-date processor, more memory, a more capable camera, and some of the other things that the SE has that the -5 doesn't. I got them, with no down side to the change of which I am yet aware. I expect this phone to meet my needs (in the size package I want) for years to come.
