    I bought this for my wife to replace her iPhone 5S, which was constantly running out of memory for photos. This is the same exact size as that phone, but with much better performance and double the storage. Well worth the cost!

    ...to the iPhone 5 form-factor. Don't get me wrong: it's cheesy that Apple couldn't be bothered to redesign the case somewhat, but I doubt they really understood how important it was to have a phone that was actually not like a little tank. I had a 6 plus and a Galaxy S7 and in the end I got tired of having a big phone which didn't fit in a pocket properly and when all was said and done wasn't so appreciably bigger that the size difference made up for it's unwieldiness. This phone is a perfect size. It's well-suited to PORTABILITY which is what these phones are supposed to be all about.

    The 5se gives me better photos, more options, still the best size (not too big) and the color rose gold is the best!!

    Crams all of the features wanted into a small, pocket-sized case. Good photos. I do not use the keyboard a great deal, so small display is a manageable issue.

    I bought an iphone 6 and regretted it immediately. I prefer the smaller size and was very pleased when Apple updated their smaller form factor. Very happy with it.

    It's the same as the 6s but smaller. It's the size of the 5s. Hardware is the same except it does not have 3D Touch and the selfie camera is the same as the 5s.

    So glad Apple decided to go back down to the 5 size. My wife loves it and its so packed with great features in a small package. We don't need anymore phablets!

    Read reviews of different iPhones along with some Android phones. Wanted a small phone, but also one with great performance. iPhone 5SE has been perfect.

    I bought this for my wife. For my wife, it seems that smaller phones are going away. She doesn't carry a purse, so she relies on having her phone in her pocket. Women's jeans have VERY small pockets and this fits the bill for her. It's great that all/most of the tech in the phone are as strong as the 6s. She is also a first time Iphone user as she has used the Samsung S4 mini, not supported with android updates anymore, previously. She is enjoying her new phone.

    A good choice for those who don't want to move up to a larger screen. Has all of the performance of an iPhone 6S, in a more compact form factor.

    Bought phone from Best Buy instead of Verizon due to monthly cost break. Had some issues with way offer was implemented because we added a new line but transferred ownership of new phone to old line. Bottom line we had to complain to Verizon when rebates didn't arrive properly. It was a bit of hassle but we finally got most of what Best Buy sales rep told us we would get.
