Excellent phone, especially for the price. Any questions I had about this phone everyone was very helpful too at the store. I had just lost an iPhone 16 so I wasn’t thrilled about getting another iPhone and I was so surprised about how happy I was with it.

More Than Just a Phone—It's a Companion on My Journey
In a world of oversized, complicated tech, my iPhone SE Starlight feels like a breath of fresh air. This isn't just a smartphone; it's a tool that seamlessly integrates with my life and, more importantly, my spiritual walk.
The lightweight, sleek design is an absolute game-changer. It fits perfectly in my hand, making it a joy to use for long stretches of journaling. I can hold it comfortably as I collect my thoughts and record my daily insights, without the bulk or distraction of a larger device. The thumbprint unlock is a simple but powerful feature—it feels personal and intuitive, like a quick and secure access to my inner world.
The camera, however, is where this phone truly shines. It takes incredible pictures that capture the small, beautiful moments of my journey, from the way the sun hits a leaf to a fleeting detail in the city. These aren't just photos; they're visual prayers, a way for me to document the presence of God in the world around me. The ability to snap a quick, high-quality photo and then immediately reflect on it in my journal allows me to stay present and mindful.
Ultimately, the iPhone SE frees me to focus on what matters most: the journal aspect of my spiritual walk. It’s not about the latest gadget; it’s about a simple, reliable companion that supports me in a profound way. For anyone looking for a phone that helps you live with more intention and capture the beauty of your journey, this is the one.

Bought as a replacement for my mother-in-law's (81) phone just like it. She needed one just like her old one so she would be able to work it. Works just like it's brand new! Also customer service was fantastic!! Very patient and understanding when dealing my MIL who is not very good with technology.

It was a real battle to get this phone, which I was excited about.
After waiting over an hour (after being assured it was at the Citrus Park store), the clerk told me it was sold. I knew he simply didn’t want to deal with me.
I immediately demanded to see a manager and at customer service, she found the phone, that was not sold. He did apologise, with a claim his inventory wasn’t accurate. Sure.
However, the following morning, not only did the clock not work, the battery health was quite poor, and the phone got very hot trying to charge it. I returned it immediately, for a full refund.

This phone though a very old model, does everything I need. Texts, apps, emails, internet, and calls. Love the small size as well.

This gently used pre-owned Apple iPhone SE is just what I needed. The Best Buy sales person was very helpful, and then I went to the Geek Squad fellow, who was very helpful in transferring all the info on my old phone, to the new one. I am really happy to be a Total Best Buy subscriber, because your staff is truly most helpful and great to work with. Thank you.

Just bought this used IPhone described to be in EXCELLENT condition with a battery indication of 71% usable capacity. This should have been assessed and addressed. Apple considers a battery below 80% as "BAD."

Teh phone says excellent condition but when opened it had chunks out of the aluminum frame. BB needs not grade phones this way. The staff was wonderful and very helpful with my return. The condition definitely wasn't excellent. Condition was fair to poor.
