Works fine just like any apple phone .It's not big like the current iPhones, but it's still the same great quality. It's bigger than a 4S and identical to a 5, but with the power of a 6. Cheaper than a lot of smartphones too. If you like iPhones and don't want to pay an arm and a leg, I recommend this one. If you're not sure if you want or like a iPhone, view other phones first. Don't limit yourself. There are plenty of great phones out there. I liked my 4S, then I tried a Windows Phone which wasn't very satisfying, and then I came back to this one, but mostly because it was cheaper than a lot of other current smartphones.

I always wanted an iPhone, but for a cheap price and I found it. It has 32GB and it only uses a litte over 5GB to run system, WOW. It came with IOS 10 and I updated to current great. The photos and videos are beautiful crisp, clear. The live photo really got me, never saw that before, it was really cool. It is small and I can hold it securely and touch all the buttons with my thumbs if necessary and it fits everywhere. The sound is better than my other phone and the volume is high enough to hear in my van when driving, speakerphone is loud also. I love the simplicity of using the iPhone. It comes with Simple Mobile, not a problem, uses T-Mobile service works great. I am well pleased.

Purchased this phone because I have quite a bit of cash invested in the Apple ecosystem already. I love the feel of the phone...and especially the size. I love the smaller form factor as it fits comfortably in my pocket. Everything seems to run snappy and the camera seems pretty decent as well.

I am an Android person, but thought I would try an Apple product to see what the fuss is all about. The exterior, like all apple products, is beautiful. Just some things you don't have as much flexibility as with android. Loading your own music on it is a multi step process, easier on the android. Photos knock it out of the park though, wow. With the apple, you can't put your app icons where you want, as you can with an android. It is not always intuitive to me. Each has it's + and -, I have concluded. Overall I really like it, just can't give it a 5 for some of the reasons listed. I will keep it and would recommend it.

Pros:
Decent battery- I unplug mine before I go to bed at 11pm and by the end of the next day (6pm) I still have around 40%.
Best camera compared to anything else that I've tried in this price range (besides an old, used flagship).
Pretty good performance for most games
Cons:
Not great if you read a lot on websites. The text can be pretty small. If you zoom in you'll cut off most of the text.
Must be used with Simple Mobile for 6 months to a year (mixed information online) before it can be unlocked.
Summary:
Really great phone for anyone who doesn't want a massive device, a budget-minded individual, or a first phone for a child.

We can feel the benefit of small screen with iPhone SE. With small screen, its power consumption goes lower. As a result, It has a powerful battery time and performance.

12MP camera in this little iPhone. Wow. Finger print recognition. 32GB of storage for a reasonable price. Prepaid service is affordable, but if you want a phone to used as an iPod to take your music and movies with you for a low price.. it could be another option.

I bought the Apple iPhone SE through Simple Mobile. I was replacing a HTC phone through Virgin Mobile. What an improvement! My kids convinced me to go with an iPhone this time and I am so happy that I did. I must admit that I also have an iPad so a lot of the features were very familiar, but overall a pretty easy changeover. Also, I absolutely love the rose gold! So glad they had it in stock as it is hard to find. Also, working with Simple Mobile has been great. I get much better service than I did through Virgin Mobile. A great buy!

Great Phone for Daughter

Purchased for daughter who needed a phone due to after school and sports activities. Was a bit apprehensive about Simple Mobile in that I did not know much about them. Have learned they were purchased by TracFone. Service has been very good on T-Mobile network and being able to buy an IPhone SE 32gb for under $160 was a very good deal

I bought this on sale for $80, and I would buy five more if I had the money.
All I wanted was a high-quality phone camera, and something in the iOS ecosystem, due to my professional creative needs.
My only question was whether or not it would be usable if I didn't actually activate it on Simple Mobile.
It works great, even without activation on a wireless provider. Even at full price (139), it's an amazing deal. It's fast, the camera quality is great.

This is a GREAT phone for 140 dollars. The value can’t be beat. This is basically an iPhone 6S in a smaller package, so it’s a great starter iPhone for a child or elderly parent. Simple Mobile is fine. It runs on the T-Mobile network, and is very affordable. I bought this for my mom as her first smart phone, and she loves it. The 20 dollars a month plan that we signed her up on is great too. She gets 3 GB of data and that’s enough for her. If she’s happy, I’m happy.

I purchased this phone to replace a 16GB phone. I'm impressed with the speed of the phone, as well as the megapixels in the rear camera. I'm new to Simple Mobile, and am very pleased with the service. I was able to transfer my phone number from another carrier, which is wonderful. Online activation and number transfer was effortless. 5 stars

It's small enough to fit my hand easily.
Only trouble I had was porting existing number to simple mobile carrier. It took longer than 2 days.
