Customers find value in the Apple iPhone SE 32GB's compact size, excellent camera quality, and competitive price. Many appreciate its ease of use and generally positive performance, although some users experienced issues with carrier compatibility. Positive feedback also highlights the phone's battery life and sufficient memory for most users.

    It's small by today's standards but it does 99% of everything the big one does at a fraction of the cost.

    Thought this would be a good value to set up my youngest child with a brand new iphone. However, I tried calling both Verizon and Best Buy before breaking the seal on the box, to find out exactly how long I need to pre-pay for the phone service before converting to post-pay service. Verizon gave me 3 different answers, and BB another. I'm only 3 weeks into the first month of the pre-paid service and I'm still not certain. The sticker on the box says I need to pre-pay for up to 150.00 before converting to post-pay. None of the customer service people I spoke with gave this as an answer. If the sticker is true, then it is a good value.

    I’m hard on phones, had countless that broke but this one held up great against an active lifestyle and my kids getting ahold of it. Fit perfect in my pocket so dropping it wasn’t an issue if it fell out.

    I bought this thinking that I could use it on Verizon postpaid.. the phone itself is decent, but be aware that its locked to Verizon prepaid and in order to unlock for postpaid you have to pay 150 bucks... if you are in the market for a Verizon prepaid this is good device...

    I bought this phone for my daughter for less than the cost of an iPod. Bonus is when she is ready for a real phone I just have to start service. Best preplanning for an electronic device I have done yet.

    Cost effective way to own an iPhone

    The low price of the phone and Verizon's low cost pre-paid plans makes this the most cost effective way to own an iPhone. The screen size is small compared to most phones on the market today, but if you are looking for something that can fit into your purse or pocket this is the phone for you. I was concerned that the phone was going to be slow due to it being a couple of years old now, but so far I've been more than happy with its responsiveness; it runs iOS 12 flawlessly.

    I am new to iPhone, but not new to iOS and Apple, so was not too put off by iOS. Was hoping Apple made progress towards battery life, but I can barely go 10, 12 hours of light use before needing to plug in. And swiping on this screen for any adult thumbs is useless. At Apple's price I am definitely going to Android next phone.

    Not any better than my Samsung the screen is so small. Haven't found anything I can do on it that the Samsung or LG's can't, except the live photos, that's awesome.

    Loved the multiple choice options for a monthly pay as you go phone, especially like being able to switch from unlimited to a lesser text and talk option depending on our monthly needs.

    iPhone SE may be small but it’s a powerful machine that does good as any other iPhone. It has all the bells and whistles. Why pay more when you can have just as the best for less.
