iPhone SE

I started with iPhone, but along the way switched to Samsung Galaxy. While the screens are bright and they are in many ways better, the iPhones accessories and mainstay capabilities are second to none. I am using this model for a B-Roll camera on a stabilizer. It has seamless integration with my iPad and iPod. I transfer video files from my GoPro to Apple devices and between my Apple devices flawlessly. The battery lasts an eternity and charges lightning fast. Yes there were a lot of things I really missed about Apple and the SE is still an awesome phone. It is equivalent to an iPhone 6s only with a smaller screen or a Galaxy S5 only no supersized OLED screen, memory card slot, water resistance, and well I miss my Galaxy. That being said Apple has better video editing apps, after market lenses, aftermarket gimbal stabilizer integration, and the list goes on. Are you an everyday user, the Galaxy S5 is the better choice. Is your phone a multipurpose tool? The iPhone SE is your answer. Good luck with your choice.

Replacing my "feature phone" after many years of holding off. The cell frequencies that "dumb phones" use just don't penetrate buildings and hilly areas as well as the lower bands that smart phones employ. I was therefore forced into the modern world of constantly recharging a phone. This phone has an average battery life for a smart phone (±9hrs of use.) Where my old phone had no signal, I have very good signal now (T-Mobile USA). The form factor is akin to older phones as well. I am used to Apple devices but didn't want to break the bank by signing an expensive contract for an expensive phone. Although $375 is expensive, it's a bargain compared to the $450 list price. It should last for many years to come. The iPhone SE is a very slick device: lightweight, sturdy, and easy to use. Call quality is very good, including speakerphone use. I have not purchased a data plan, and am going to use wi-fi and a hotspot for internet needs. Overall very satisfied.

My girlfriend had lost her phone and needed another in a pinch. With a little bit of patience and research I found this iPhone for a steal. No it wasn't in perfect condition (superficial scratches on the device) but it was advertised as such. It was the best price for a 64gb device that I had seen up until that point in my phone search. The phone works perfectly and my girlfriend is so happy that we didn't have to pay 6-700 for a new one for her. She had an iPhone 6S but settled for this since it could handle what she needed out of the phone. Activating the phone was simple and free (Sprint) and it's working perfectly. It's shipped very quickly too, if I'm not mistaken it got here in 2-3 days. Extremely happy with my purchase and would definitely do it again if circumstances required it.

I was happy enough with a 5s 16gb but needed more memory for apps and other data. The item arrived in the promised condition - refurbished, like new with specified accessories at a substantial savings over new. As expected, it fits exactly in the 5s case I've been using that I like. Functionality seems to be complete. My usage pattern is fairly light - based more on data than on phone calls. I charge it every night and this works for me without any apparent likelihood of it dying during the day or evening. I don't know if a larger-bodied phone would provide longer battery life for the heavy caller, but I suspect not. This fits in my shirt pockets and I can read the screen. I figure I'm good for another three or four years.

advertised and received as 'as new' condition. battery life is good, phone condition excellent. 64gb new SE for $197 was a great deal. the 16gb is useless 32 or 64..+ is the only option, imo. i had a 'big' phone before and it didn't fit into any pocket well, was annoying. the screen size isn't ideal but the form factor and functionality is a huge plus for a sub $200. SE operating tests come in just a little slower than the 7 and 8..seconds i don't ever notice or miss. if a small phone is for you, then this is your small phone. ACESSORIES- the Spigen SE/ 5 case and glass screen protectors are a must for this little beast. they fit well, look great and give (++) protection for (--) cost.

I have been an android user since smartphones first came out for the most part, and was overall pleased with android. I recently decided to purchase an iphone at a friend's suggestion. The battery life is much worse than what I had before, but overall the usability is much better, and I love how fast everything loads. My old phone was always freezing up, and I don't have that issue with this phone, I'm very pleased. I would say that overall the phone is great, but the major drawback for me is battery life. I use my phone a lot, and have to charge it twice a day, and leave it on the charger all night or it dies while I'm sleeping.

This phone has a headphone jack, the AT&T-locked version is compatible with a Cricket SIM, it will be compatible with iOS 14, and you can probably get it less than $100 or even $50 used in 2020. It's small size is convenient for cycling or running, but it's too small to really enjoy most of the time, or to have as your only phone. The fingerprint scanner is also first gen, which is noticeably slower than second gen. This is an iPod killer that's a perfect backup, or temporary replacement for your larger phone. New batteries and battery cases are still available for not much $.

I tried the iPhone 6S last year and found it was too big for me to handle easily. I enjoyed the larger screen size when on Instagram or YouTube but it required two hands to operate and was constantly causing me mishaps. The SE is the perfect size for me and has almost all the feature of the 6S. Now if they'd bring back the black of the 5! Or better yet, the iPhone 7 deep blue. Paying more for the 64gb version is well worth it. 16gb is not enough for even a basic user who takes pictures or videos.

This is the cheapest iPhone you can get that still gets software updates, and it's also super small and easy to use. It's the perfect phone for older folks that just need a phone on the cheap, which is why I bought it. It still totally gets the job done, but if you care at all about having updates for more than another year or if you like to have a good camera, this isn't the phone for you. Please spend a bit more money on another phone that has more life and is more advanced than this.

Great phone! I already own an iPhone SE for myself but I ordered another one for my mom. It is her first smartphone. I do not think the SE receive enough love. It is affordable, especially a pre-owned one on ebay. It has good performance and it does what I need. I waited for years for Apple to come out with another 4 inch screen. It doesn't seem like they care to make another 4-inch anytime soon. It's ok. I will patiently wait for that day. "The bigger, the better" for most people, but not to me.

Everything on this phone seems to functions like it's supposed to as far as software. However, when I first got it, I noticed that one of the edges on the front part of the screen was sticking up. I took it to the Apple store, and when they opened it, they found that one of the prongs that holds the front screen in place was slightly bent. They said that that was strange, but that it shouldn't give me any problems and attempted to straighten the prong a bit. I did have another more significant problem with the camera on the phone taking somewhat dark pictures. I noticed this when I did a side by side comparison of the pictures this phone took and an iPhone SE that I already own. When I asked an apple employee about this, they said that one of the light sensors in the camera was probably broken and that it would cost $50 to replace the camera. Needless to say I opted out of it, since this phone cost $280 to begin with.

My goal in getting this device was to evaluate moving to the iOS platform. Had one of the first iPhone models but moved to Android and stayed there for the past 12 years. Decided to try again, but found the same set of challenges of an extremely closed, inflexible ecosystem and environment. As for the form factor, it is quite small (coming from a phablet). In fact, I think it is too small to be effective as a media consumption device. Moving to the next size up would improve the experience dramatically, without making it too bulky. In the end, I'm gonna stick with my android and donate this thing to my friends' kids.

Battery run out quickly, I believe that is not original becasue i have to recharge it twice a day. In addition the handset heats up and gets hot when I'm in conversation using network coverage but also when I call via whatsapp. Not a good purchase. Finally some humidity or drop went through the glass and so now i have a partial view of the screen. Never had such problem with all iphone I had previously.

This product won't perform basic functions it was supposed to come with, for example sound- it is on mute and I cannot make the sound come back on. It turns itself off randomly, and when the phone is not being used the full battery dies in approximately 6 hours with no apps open.

Have a problem and just keep getting same response NO ONE apparently reads the emails very frustrating have sent four emails and got four generic responses
