    Smart Buy for a High Schooler’s First iPhone

    I bought the iPhone SE (2022) for my grandson who’s starting high school, and he really loves it. This is his first iPhone, and it does everything he needs—texting, photos, school apps, and games. It’s a great size, easy to use, and works fast. I’m happy with it because it was affordable and still has all the important features. A smart choice for students or anyone who wants a simple, reliable phone without spending too much.

    The iPhone is in pretty decent condition, the Best Buy store and employees were awesome at assisting and customer service was on point! The only issue was the generic box was super beat up & because of no protection inside for the phone (such as a layer of foam) there were a few scratches and dinks from shipping and handling. Shipping was early, which was nice, although I had to wait longer because the phone was lost in the store. The phone came with a well operational system and battery percentage at 97%, which is excellent for a used phone! No lagging or slowdowns thus far!

    I got me one and man do it look like new, I cannot tell that it was used or anything at all as I looked at it, battery health is real good, feels new to me, very nice phone, I would consider buying another one, it works real good to me, it is worth the money, very good condition, it seems as if it is in excellent condition, adapter and charger do not look original, phone arrived earlier than expected, no damage, I highly recommend it to anyone, setup was a breeze, I like it in red color, in love with this phone, I was so excited when I got my hands on it to check it out,

    The phone looks like it's in excellent condition, and I trust it's doing what it should, but I can't function on only 64 GB of memory. I thought I could trim down enough, but I can't, so I'll be returning this phone. Also, it's probably my area and/or my provider, but the 5G that I wanted this phone for hasn't impressed me yet. There are times when the phone indicates it's using 5G, but it's hanging or crawling. I do like the eSIM feature, which makes it so I no longer have to deal with physical SIM cards. Overall, the phone itself is fine, but my experience has been meh.

    My organization uses these to run special apps in our healthcare facility. I recently bought 24 of them and they all looked great, operated great and the batteries all had greater than 85% capacity. I'll keep buying them until they are no longer available.
