    Phone is great when I can get a signal. Often miss calls that go straight to voicemail. I'm sure it's not all the phones fault, but also at&t network.

    Excellent Affordable Phone W/O The HYPE!

    I review all Apple Products before purchase. From that you learn that Apple often overlaps features in their products, over-pricing per the 'big' print HYPE. Always go to non-Apple sites for side by side comparisons. Per the 'fine' print the 2017 iPhone SE is an excellent phone, packed with features, with a camera that exceeds the iPhone 6. I owned the iPhone 5-16G and not needing the larger screen, I chose the SE-32G. Great PRICE!! The 32G of space is fine if you iCloud manage your pics and use iTunes average level. The SE is a hidden gem in the Apple line-up, passed over often for the larger models. Parents get the SE for your teens (even if they protest)! Less issues of theft (many will think they have the oldie 5) and yet powerful and more durable screen (if cased of course). I had existing ATT account, so for me it was a simple call to ATT and insert of my current SIM card to the SE. My iPhone SE was brand new as I verified the IMEI upon purchase. If you don't need the large screen this is a excellent iPhone to own. Easy to fit into pocket or purse!

    I have got multiple of these but none of them would work in the first place because Best Buy online never scan the IMEI before shipping it out, so if you received this item, and to avoid your account being blocked, please send the proof of purchase to [email protected] else your account will be blocked.

    So far it works great as a replacement phone. I like this because of the size do not like the bigger phone. That is why I purchased it.

    Performance issues began after the first update I applied from Apple. I do not recommend this phone. After two months of use, the battery had half of it's original longevity. I'm not sure if I put that much wear on the battery or if it actually had something to do with an iOS update. Regardless, I was not impressed with how the performance degraded so much in such a short amount of time.

    I thought of iPhone SE having great specs in spite of its smaller size. But the lag the display sensor takes is annoying.

    This only lasted about a year before the battery was shot in it. This is not the first apple product where the battery only lasted as much. While i like its small design I am done.

    This device had to be returned because it wasn't scanned through the Best Buy system and ATT wouldn't activate it. I bought it for my son so no biggie but we ended up getting a used unlocked device which was the worst decision since it is defective and the warranty coverage is the worst to deal with.

    I bought this to replace my 64GB iphone 5S which had been randomly shutting down & rebooting. I do not care for the trend of phones getting bigger and bigger. I liked the size of the 5S- both how it felt in my hand as well as my pocket. The Iphone SE packs the responsiveness and power of an iphone 6S into the body of an iphone 5/5S, making it a perfect upgrade for me. At less than $150 with no contract I feel it is a great value.

    Best backup/replacement iPhone for the money

    I cracked my iPhone 7 plus so I called AT&T and verified I can use my current contract SIM card in this prepaid iPhone SE. They said yes it will work fine. Bought the iPhone SE on sale for $150 at Best Buy. Inserted my contract SIM card and the phone activated. Within an hour AT&T suspended my cell phone service. Called AT&T and they did not know if I owned the phone or if it was stolen. Explained I just bought it and they activated my service immediately. I've had no issues so far with AT&T other than that. The iPhone SE is awesome. I've always loved the iPhone 5 shape and stoked they made the iPhone 5 better with the SE. I actually like the look and size way better than my 7 plus. Phone works almost flawlessly. I went back to Best Buy and bought another for $150 just to have extra. Such a deal. Even for $200 bucks its a deal. I pay for iCloud storage so I'm not afraid of the 32gb size.
