As a construction worker that breaks phones often this thing has been a godsend. The almighty cloud and cheap prices of the se unit keeps me going strong. Don't need a case either. I'm in love.

This is my iPhone, I've been using it for one year and liked pretty much the experience, the device is fast, very small and if you are not adicted to smartphone the battery will last one day with no issues.

recently dug my old iPhone SE 2020 out and now I am using it as my main phone. Its very fun and I agree, pressing the home button is very nice. Also, the nostalgic design reminds me of better days.

I actually loved the “night mode” shot you took. I feel like if it was actually applied, that picture would have lost all the cool mystery and ambiance it captured in favor of introducing a few extra colors into people’s clothing.

I have had this phone since 2021. I bought a battery case for 20 dollars, and not it lasts more than a 15 pro max. You want an iPhone now and you don't want to feel ripped off by Apple? get this one. It's incredibly fast yet.

I’ve had the iPhone 6, 6S, 7 and now the 2020SE. All those were refurbished thus cheaper to buy. I use a battery case charger to extend battery life and I’ve had no issues. I prefer the home button and can’t see why Apple have removed it on their newer phones. I don’t need a high tech phone but I’m looking forward to the buying a 2022SE.

It feels like such a retro device already in 2024, but still works smoothly and does all the everyday stuff you want to do, for me it's the perfect phone, minimal, easy to carry around, reliable. I leave other stuff for bigger devices, nothing beats having a small phone that copes with everything you need like email, banking, listening, calling, texting, other apps of course, uber, etc

I ended up getting this phone as I miss placed my pixel seven and didn’t want to spend a whole bunch of money on getting new device so I ended up going to my local dealer and got this sealed for $400 Canadian it’s the 64 gig model black and so far I’m really enjoying it and offers to experience of an iPhone 1313 pro pro

i'm from brazil and here iphones are really expensive, so i've had an se since november 2020 and got it replaced from apple in 2022 bc there was a problem in the lightning port which they couldn't solve. i appreciate newer iphones but my phone is what i can afford so i plan to keep it as long as possible

Thanks for making this video. This phone works great for the low key user. I don’t have socials or play games and don’t really care about the latest and greatest cameras. I just wanted a phone to get the job done and not pay so much. I’m one of those people who never upgrade, ever. SE 2 works fine, get a battery replacement from Apple if it depletes to unfavorable levels and you’ll be good. Plus, I missed the home button.

I’m using an se 2, it’s amazing how good it is still, I’m thinking of selling this and taking a 2022 se but this phone is still amazing for the price

[captaintruth]

Best $399 I ever spent bought a wireless car charger and home charger so battery not an issue. With the money I saved over buying the ridiculously priced $1500 iPhone, I bought an iMac air M1 for $729 from Costco with a two-year warranty included and choice of color. 💻📲

Currently on a iPhone 15 pro but I must say this iPhone SE was my favorite of all time. Good memories with this little beast !!

[njpk]

I have just received an iPhone 15 after using one of these for the last 3 years! I will be keeping this as my iPod for day to day use as it has my full collection on and means I don’t have to use up the battery on the new phone.

[upgradestore]

I still use my iPhone 8. Works well for me.

[danielgartin-ohik]

My father just placed the order yesterday for one for me, I'll have it in 5-7 days, I chose the 128 GB model in black

[yxngsellei]

Best phone I’ve ever had, gonna switch to SE3 when this gets discontinued.

[steveb]

Still very important as the only iPhone with an LCD screen you can get new (SE3) if you’re one of the 10% of people who can’t use OLED due to PWM.

[kapilmehta]

I am using this phone for last two years and I must say it works great...Its performance is smooth and fast...only drawback of this phone is its short battery life

[sleevelessace]
