    Great little phone

    My other phone is a 6" android with a better battery, easy backup to Linux and Samsung updates that end two years after launch. Apple will support the SE for up to 5 years so it's a package that is very attractive to me. It's small enough to fit in my pocket even with a thin cover, while most androids are 6,5. Battery- staying at home, i can plug it in as I need. For times when I can travel once again I bought a battery case for iPhone 8 which charges it x2 and no vibration while charging so I can use it without that unpleasant experience. Backup to Linux is currently impossible, and Apple charges for iCloud storage space. I have created a Windows 10 boot just for iTunes so I can backup securely and in privacy. Privacy - I can prevent third party apps collecting data from other apps on the phone with one button. I can't prevent Apple collecting data, but they promise they won't monetise my personal data. Other aspects of the phone's everyday features are good screen with wide bezels. no face unlock fast response to touch unlock upgrade to same processor as iPhone 11 Smallest phone body (except for the 12 mini) Reliable integration of apps, multiple apps stay open, this makes the small size of the screen acceptable. Just to say ios14 keyboard is not as useful as gboard. Its missing the top numeric row.

    Great looking phone, great value iPhone...

    This is a great iPhone replacement for my older iPhone6...it's like an old friend on 'steroids' My i6 battery was getting 'worn-out'...needed to have a recharge almost every day. This iPhone SE gives me 2 to 3 days and charges noticeably more quickly from empty. Installed from my older phone via the Apple 'cloud' backup having had repeated issues trying to update phone to phone (i6 is at latest vers of iOS 12) Trust me, the only way to do this providing you have saved latest 'backup' from your old phone to the 'cloud'...very quick and easy to do! Chose the 'Product Red' colour and really glad I did...looks really good. Purchased a clear silicone protection cover (can still see the great look of the phone) and Gorilla glass screen protector. This iPhone is a great value replacement if you love your older iPhone. The addition of the A13 'Bionic' chip makes this phone 'fly' if you are used to an older model at half the cost of the iPhone11. Thanks elephant_resale!

    Big enough and Fast enough!

    I have moved from a Gen 1 SE to this 2020 SE model. Although it is bigger and heavier it is also much faster. The screen is better and a bit bigger but the battery life is the biggest improvement for my use. Like all iPhones it is very easy and intuitive to use. I set up Android phones for colleagues at work and they are so inferior I wonder why anyone bothers with them. I know that they are mostly cheaper but an Apple phone works well for longer so they are not more expensive in the long run. I would have preferred an iPhone Thirteen Mini but I can't justify the cost as the 2020 SE does everything I need. I bought one for my daughter who had been using an iPhone 8 and although the two phones look almost identical she says the SE is much better.

    Small, light and perfectly formed.

    I bought this delightful iPhone for my wife to replace her iPhone 8 that we had owned for 3 years. The iPhone SE is very similar to the iPhone 8 but has better software and camera. Its small size suits my wife's needs and slips into a pocket or handbag without fuss or making a bulge! Transferring data from the old phone was seamless and it was not long before it was ready to use. Good points: Tactile - nice to handle. Nice easy to handle size. Excellent screen graphics Up to date camera. Improved charging times and battery life Makes my iPhone 12 look clunky! Bad points: Haven't found any - Yet! A great iPhone for the price and the bargain on the iPhone offerings.

    I love Apple quality

    I love Apple quality. I've bought the new SE to replace the previous model. It is slightly larger which means it doesn't fit a pocket quite so well but still fits most of the time. The extra screen size however is worth the extra size and makes everything that much easier or clearer. I don't find the power on/off button quite as easy to use in it's new side position as, being opposite the volume buttons, it is not easy to avoid them when gripping the phone to press the on/off. Hopefully I'll get used to that in time but overall I love it. It's a great quality phone that does everything I need and more.

    Iphone XS best for size, picture quality and use of Apple CarPlay

    I bought this phone mainly because of the high quality of the camera. My daughter has one and she frequently was able to get pictures equally as good as my compact camera. I also like the size of the screen. I looked as the Iphone SE and XS Max but felt that the overall size of the phone was best for me. It fits well in my shirt pocket. The other reason for choosing an Iphone, is that it links with my VW Polo Infotainment system using Apple Car Play. This enables me to use the phone as a sat nav but displaying the screen on the in built car screen.

    Good Apple,bad Apple

    A great value phone with all the modern features. I little too thin, too slippy, buttons awkward, after all this time you would think a company like Apple would be able to provide a near perfect product, but it seems they cannot, but still a nice phone from a company that has become a questionable presence on the planet. A company that is focused on money , a company that has left behind a vast amount of obsolete products. Apple are American and unfortunately in todays world that means trouble!

    A perfect smaller iphone

    This is my 1st iphone and I am extremely happy with it. It was easy to set up and the battery life is excellent. It is lightweight and easy to hadle even if it is on the small size. The price is very good, I couldn't afford to get one of the more expensive ones as my usage is very small compared to most users.

    A compact iPhone 11 at a reasonable price

    This phone has got the insides of an iPhone11 packed into a case the size of an iPhone6. It will fit in a pocket and can be operated with one hand due to its size. due to its processing power even the camera is not far behind that of an iPhone 11.

    Best value

    This phone is great - all the features you need in a compact phone that still fits in your pocket. The battery life and screen resolution are brilliant. I had the old iPhone SE and was reluctant to upgrade, but so glad I did.
