    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    I really like my iPhone SE. I'm surprised that I like it so much seeing as companies tend to hype up the latest and greatest version that's on the market. This phone has all of the capabilities I want, including excellent pixel/graphics (which makes pictures turn out wonderful as well as watching videos on YouTube). Also I am surprised at how fast the service is....then again Simple mobile is a sister company backed up by T-Mobile. Great phone (cost-efficient too) and excellent service plan options.

    This phone runs on T-Mobile's network. It is really easy to activate from online. I have compared this phone and its signal to Verizon post-paid plan. It is basically the same coverage but half of the cost. If you try to call Simple Mobile's customer service, it is terrible. Utilize the chat function from Simple Mobile's website. It provides better service as far as getting issues you might have in setting up your phone such as porting a number.

    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

    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.

    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.

    I think it's a great iPhone at this price, if you can use Simple Mobile services. Keep in mind you can't get it unlocked for another carrier unless you use it on Simple Mobile for 12 months. This might be a deal breaker for many.

    This a back up phone. I needed an iPhone for my apple watch, so this was a perfect choice. This is a very good second phone to have. It is a solid model. I also love the size of it. My main phone is an s9+ sometimes you do not want to pull out an expensive phone on the street to make a call. You cannot beat the price either. I think it is worth it.

    Purchased it for my boy whose been wanting a phone, an iPhone. Read reviews and decided to go with this one in case he loses it. No regrets! The phone software is up to date. I know folks with an iPhone 5 and they can't even do the software updates. Plus for almost $50 a month, no contract, unlimited text, call and data. Best call!
