Great size, great speed, great photo quality. Great small phone.

My iPhone 6 went on the fritz and I had to get a new phone. I unenthusiasticly, almost got on the waiting list for the 7 and said, "You know what? Let me check out the specs on the other available models." When I saw that the SE was basically a 6s in a 5 body(which I prefer over a 6 body) I figured I would give it a try. Let me tell you, I kind of love my phone again! It's great to have that compact size back without suffering through slow speeds and glitchy-ness. If they sold it bigger then 64 gigs it would be perfect. I might be sticking with the suped-up small iPhones from now on.

For a teenager who wants an I phone & I find it asinine to finance another $600+ for the "NEW TREND" phone , this phone seems to function well enough to take it's place. Thank you for sure on this one! Apple Iphone SE 64gb Rose Gold For a couple hundred bucks. That's a deal to me.

I am a chronic phone-switcher. I've used the iPhone 6, LG G4, Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, and now the iPhone SE. I originally had a 16 gb phone and I cannot stress enough: DO NOT BUY IT. 16 gb is not enough. You have to play Apple's stupid game and pay the extra $100 for the 64 gb version. However, once you step up to the upgraded phone, it's fantastic. The phone is blazing fast, comfortable to use, has great battery life, and a great camera. It is just... extremely usable. I'm very happy with it. I'm just a little sour that Apple continues to play games with their 16 gb base phone, although the iPhone 7 has finally increased to 32 gb. The one other negative is that it is tough to type on. I still make a fair number of mistakes with the keyboard because the screen is much smaller than I've grown accustomed to.

This is the first IPhone I've ever owned, my only other previous smart phones were both on the Windows platform, and coming from that experience to this, I must say, while there are things I do miss about my Windows phone (like total customization of my interface and the ability to delete literally every app that I will not use), there are a lot of things I will not miss (no support for Windows platform and no apps ever being made for it, only Android and iOS, the lack of choices due to little market shares, no accessory options). Also, the choice to go with the SE was one I'm loving too, as I love the speed and power of the 6, but I completely prefer the "candy bar" design of the SE and wouldn't trade it for the bigger, slimmer version anytime soon. Also, the gold, while it was not initially my first choice, immediately became my favorite, and I'm super glad I got this color! Hands down the best phone I've ever owned.

I've been a big fan of the iPhone 5, so I was very excited to get the iPhone SE. I like the small form factor. Same size as the iPhone 5, so my old case even worked. I sprung for the 64GB, so now I have much more room for photos, music, apps, etc. The camera seems nicer when taking outdoor shots at my son's soccer game. I haven't tried too many indoor photos with the flash yet, but I'm sure it they are an improvement from the last phone. No issues with this order, aside from the upgrade charge from my wireless carrier. Phone calls work great, although whenever my wife and I (she bought an iPhone SE as well) talk to each other, there's a bit of tinny sound that is not normal, I haven't resolved this issue yet, but it's only when it's her cell phone to my cell phone. Easy to use phone that you can fit in your pocket, and costs practically nothing when you add in the Best Buy gift card promotion. It's a no brainer on this one, iPhone SE is the way to go over competitor smartphones.

This iphone is an excellent contender in the sub 5" phone category. It is blazingly fast, battery lasts a full day and more, and the camera experience is fantastic. All around absolutely fantastic phone, and it's cheaper than the 6S models for the same internals (minus battery size, and front facing camera of course). If you want a modern smart phone without the huge size, this is the phone for you.

My first experience with an Iphone, easy to operate, nice and small, has lots of memory, and best of all Best buy beat the competitions price by so much, I thought they made a mistake.

This phone works. It is a huge improvement for me over my old 5s. Faster, better camera, more built in options. The size is perfect. As reviewers noted the smaller size (than the 6 series) does not impede function. Reading on the screen is very easy. With a protective case the phone goes right into a pocket or pouch in a small purse. Periodically the BlueTooth connection picks up static, but not often enough to be very disruptive. Wondering if Apple can fix this?

The camera upgrade is amazing, I never had interest in the 6 or 6s due to size, the 5s was perfect size. Now, I have the upgraded camera, and speed and matched with the larger storage 64G, I've got the combo I needed for shoots on the field as I travel. The upgraded speed is a boon to everything from using Gmaps to writing to researching on the go. Finally, the size is exactly the same as the 5s so it's lie nothing changed, not even my OtterBox!

Let me start out by saying that I hate big phones. I had the 6s, and while I liked a lot about it, I was never all that big a fan of its size. Admittedly, when I went down to the SE, it took me about a day (at most) to readjust my eyes and expectations, but I knew it was worth it. And it was. Fast, great battery life, easy one-handed operation, great screen, more or less same cpu and internals as the 6s, same great camera -- no question this is the best iPhone, if not best smartphone, currently on the market today. Spring for the 64GB. In my view it could only be better with (1) 3D touch, and (2) the more discreet haptic vibration engine. But I can live without these, no problem.

I love this form factor for the iPhone. It's compact and up to date in terms of speed and power. The camera is great and just works the way it should.

For those of you that like a pocket size phone, get the SE. It has 99 percent of the features of a 6 or 8. Do get the 64GB.

I've had both Android and Windows phones in the past, but this is my first iPhone. So far, I'm really happy with my decision to switch. The iPhone SE is the perfect size and has great build quality. It's a really sleek device. This iPhone replaced a Nokia Lumia Icon, which was also a beautiful phone. It was snappy and the Windows OS was extremely easy to navigate. The problem was that there were pretty much no decent apps. Prior to the Windows Phone, I had an Android phone. I switched to the Windows phone less than a month after buying the Android phone. For me, it was just a preference. I did not care for the layout of the Android OS. My tech friends all love their Android devices because they can easily modify aspects that are otherwise locked down on Windows and Apple phones. For me, I just want something that works and has a good ecosystem; the iPhone fits the bill. An added bonus is that Apple seems to care the most about user privacy.

This is a great phone if you don't need a huge screen but want a great camera and the processing power of the iPhone 6s. Does everything the iPhone 6s does except 3D touch. Battery life is also fantastic and will get you through the day even with moderate usage.

This is the iPone I was waiting for! I had an iPhone 5s and waited through the 6 and 6s, to get a new one. I wanted to wait until they went back to offering one that was similar in size to the 5s. I don't like a phone the size of a small tablet. The iPhone SE was just what I was looking for. It has a faster processor, a better camera, and features like live pictures that the 6s came with. The battery lasts all day, it syncs well with my Apple Watch, and is what I want most - a reliable, sturdy smartphone. The new Otterbox that I had just bought for my 5s fits the SE as well.

easy to use great camera excellent battery life compact size fast great storage

My daughter originally had the 4s and it was a good phone but a hand me down. So when it came time to purchase a new iphone the SE had a great price and lots of nice features for a teenager. Later bought another for my other teenager. Both have been very happy with their phones.

We upgraded our older iPhone 5s to the iPhone SE w 64gb. Did not want the larger phones an was delighted to learn this phone is the 6S in a smaller iPhone 5 case. We can use our protective cases from our old phones and it is easier to carry in my pocket! The newer processor is much faster and the camera features are improved. Battery life is greatly improved over my 5! The Best Buy tech was very helpful and much better than the Verizon personnel who seamed they didn't want to sell 3 new phones. Very happy with this phone.

Really wanted another small phone like the iPhone 5s to easily fit in my hand. This was it. Battery life is Better due to slightly bigger battery. Plus get the perks of the 6 and 6s. Love the camera. And the fact it has Apple Pay.
