I love this iPhone SE from 2016 - and here's why!

- Today, we're going to be talking about the first generation iPhone SE.
Released back in 2016, the iPhone SE was a budget-friendly alternative to Apple's more expensive options. It featured a 4-inch display, a 12-megapixel camera, and the same A9 chip found in the iPhone 6s.
But even though it was considered a budget option at the time, the iPhone SE still packed a punch. It had the same performance as its more expensive counterparts, making it a great choice for those who didn't want to splurge on the latest and greatest. Not too mention that this is the last iPhone with headphone jack😊
Fast forward to today, and the smartphone landscape has changed dramatically. We've seen the rise of foldable phones, 5G connectivity, and countless other advancements. But despite all of these changes, the first generation iPhone SE still holds up as a great phone.
In fact, many people still use and love their iPhone SE to this day. It's a testament to the device's build quality and overall performance.
So, if you're in the market for a budget-friendly smartphone that can still hold its own, the first generation iPhone SE is definitely worth considering. It may not have all of the bells and whistles of newer devices, but it's still a solid choice for those looking for a dependable and affordable phone.

The SE is all most people need. It’s a fantastic little phone that does 90% of what current ones do. Most of us waste too much time on our phones anyways. I am using this as my daily even though I own an 11 and 2nd gen SE.
Thanks for watching and sharing this 😊
This is my daily phone too- still wonderful and love love love the size. I still upgrade all my apps and works extremely fine
would this still work for apps like microsoft authenticator ?
or in general for at least the next 2 years ?
I had it and now I miss it, great phone, no case needed, not heavy, great camera. Thanks for making me remember
Thank you for watching and sharing your memories 😊
I use iPhone se to limit my use of phone, the phone has limits so I install only 3-4 apps, use them for some time and then keep it away, it is ok for casual use but I love it because it's very handy and lightweight, camera quality is decent, let's me focus on myself than just phone. Keeps me peaceful.
Thanks for sharing this 😄
Can i pair apple watch 7 with iphone se 1st gen?
@@azazel0202 according to apple website "For a 2016 model, Series 0 through Series 7 running watchOS 8 or earlier will work." This means if your apple watch 7 software is not upgraded beyond watchos 8 then you shall be able to pair apple watch 7 with iphone se 2016 model.
Still have mine from original release date and it is still fine, battery longevity aside which is to be expected.
You can install way more than just a few apps on it and I use mine as a hotspot for my PC, works just fine!
Love comments like this dude. Less cell phone usage is key. Very distracting. Good for you dude. I don’t have socials or play games.
This phone works for the light user. Who needs to call, text, some light apps and browsing. GPS, etc.
I still use this phone, even though I have the 13 pro.
I brought one in 2019 as an antique & just for the fact about how good it is for regular usage. Mine is 64GB & got it in a decent price (used without any noticeable scratches).
I would still recommend anyone who are interested in this compact phone for daily usage but you'd need to replace the battery as you won't find one with good BH.

this is the PERFECT phone for all the basics; phone calls, texting, simple email, notes and driving directions. I don't do social media or browse the internet on a 4 inch display. Once in a while I use a calculator app and Apple Wallet for bar code entry to my gym. The phone is fast enough, very responsive, doesn't get hot, can use it with one hand and in low power mode- I get at least 2 full days on my phone. Of course- my talk time is not that of a teenage girl hence, my battery life. Speaking of battery- I did change it 2 years ago- it's like having a new phone all over again.
Again; if you want to 'ween' yourself off social media and just want the basics without having to go the flipphone route- the 2016 iPhone SE is the right phone.
I use it today, nifty little pocketable device. I love the reactions when i pull it out my shirt pocket at school!
Definitely 😁
I still own an iPhone SE 128GB version one and it works great. I use it while working because of the headphone jack and the comfortable design. Music playback is awesome on this device so far.🙂
Is that version the same version as the phone on the video but more storage?
yes. you're correct! And this phone has a powerful DAC with 16-bit/44.1kHz audio.🙂@@daviddominguez7199
For this kind of money definitely worth considering. 4k video looks pretty good 👍
Definitely 😁
I like this kind of set up of yours Darius. 😊🤳
Thanks a lot for watching 😊
Love this video fam and great review of this iPhone beast
I appreciate that
Watching this video with my se 2017 , changed battery recently 100%
Still a great device even now in 2023💪
I do have it. in 64GB. its my daily phone. it's small and has touch id. I love it. I have also the iPhone 13mini but I really miss the touch id.
Love this video! I will be getting this model! Found a brand new one! Thanks for showing us that the older budget phones work. That 100% battery health is awesome.
Thanks for sharing this 😊
laying in bed at night while watching youtube on my SE puts no strain on my arm unlike the 14 models. I LOVE MY SE!!!
That's true 😊
I still use this phone. I’ve had mine for 4 years and I love it lol.
Battery is pretty terrible now but lasts about 5 hours so plenty of time to get to a charger usually.
I don’t want to upgrade 😂
Fair enough 😁
battery is pretty easy to replace by yourself, and you can even get a higher capacity one
I personally hate the camera quality of my SE it’s so Pixley in my opinion. Or at least mine is. Idk.
@@Hiper_with_a_P_sound I understand. I don’t have any social media so rarely take photos so don’t notice much. Lol. If I upgrade I will get a iPhone 12 or 13 mini.
Probably the closest thing on the market to a first generation SE
I like its metallic body and touch ID !
Fair enough
Still have one and using it, not my daily cause there is some stuff it cant do. Love it
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 💭
Indeed, my 2016 SE (now 100% on second battery) has been great for my niche uses: light-to-moderate, reading text in Safari Reader Mode, youtube, news websites. Might be too small for most now but the shirt-pocket size (4 ounces, 4" screen) has been great. Planning to replace next year with iPhone 13 Mini - a huge jump in screen size!
Thanks for watching and sharing this
Watching this on my SE 1st
Nice 👍🙂
Still using my first gen se 64gb still very smooth and fast..
Nice 👍
nice video😘 I like iPhone SE 2016, and I had every color of this one ! UR daughter so cute!
Thanks for watching and comment ☺️
I used an iPhone SE 1st gen since its release in 2016… until oct this year… 7 years… wow… and boy, I miss this phone so much! I got an iPhone 13 mini… but it’s still TOO big!! And because of the new “no home button” I have to bring control center FROM THE TOP!!! What’s the sense!!!? It’s so hard to put your thumb all the way up to bring it, only to move the finger down to get the camera. Seriously… are they kidding?! It was so easy on iPhone SE. SO… my hand hurts, but that’s life. My phone capacity was too smal at 128gb so I got a 512 one. At least I got that.
I still use this SE 2023 hahaha
HI Darius, I have a 2106 iPhone SE Rosegold colour and I love it! I am travelling to the UK from Canada to visit my family and want to know if I can still get a temporary sim card in the UK whilst I am there. Thank you:)
Thanks for sharing this. Yes you can buy temporary SIM card everywhere. Enjoy your time in the UK. Which part are you traveling to?
i have this SE, the there’s just three things i don’t love
1 it only updates to a 15.7 OS, so in a few years i might not be able to download some apps
2 it’s camera quality is very pixelated
3 it’s battery lasts about 2 1/2 hours 😬
It’s mostly just the battery that bothers me but I mean it’s from 2016 and has been used a lot
Thanks for sharing this 😁
I love this phone.
What's your favourite thing about the phone?
It's giving me old Vibes
For sure 😃
I have an Samsung Galaxy S20 FE (sold here in Brazil), my gf has an iPhone SE 2016 kept in a drawer here… And I gotta say that I prefer using an old phone like that instead of Android… in fact I’ll do a screen replacement on that iPhone so I can use it… After iphone I cannot use androids anymore… LOL
Thanks for sharing this 👍
I'm considering of buying it. But really worried of battery life. Should I go for it..any suggestions?
You can always replace the battery
My battery is fine
Love the phone
Still using it
Nice one 😄
Size, build...does all you need! Other options just too big and too $$$ !
Fair enough 😉
Anyone experiencing any battery heat? Charging is warming it up a little, not sure if the battery is old.
When it's hot all of the phones will get hot during the charging.
@@DariuszTech Don't remember that in the early days, it was hit when I first plugged it in, then after 40% was cool. Just weird, because I don't remember that with my first SE that I gave away.
I would like to start the adventure with Apple smartphones.
SE 1st gen was always my dream (when I was younger).
This smartphone is no longer supported by Apple (updates), right?
Is this a big problem?
Is there a point to still buy it?
Sadly it's true. Can't get any latest updates I'm afraid 😳
??? I'm running 15.7.9 on my 2016 iPhone SE - not sure if its the latest but everything I need still works
I still use one - and love it. It’s on iOS 15.8, 64 GB, and still updates all the apps I have on it
Bruh just updated to 15.8
Would this phone be good if I replace the battery with a 2750 mah battery?
For sure 👍
bought iphone SE 2016 smashed screen and damaged case for 5$ in USA. bought iphone 5S in very good condition but reported stolen/deactivated IMEI for 5$. took all the parts out of the iphone 5S, melted like 5mm of plastic at the top right corner of case with a soldering iron and everything fit flush. brand new looking iphone SE for 10$, and i think the aluminium for the 5S is better since it was their flagship model for awhile. has slightly less rounded corners vs the SE and doesnt dent as easily in my experience. also looks closer to the iphone14 mini but no ugly camera bump so I dont even bother with a case. disappears in my pocket, can use headphones so the battery lasts a good amount, always turn bluetooth off twice in settings to save power and protect from hackers. some people have asked me what phone it is since it doesnt say SE on the back anymore lol, i tell them its the iphone 15. thinking of adding a thermal camera inside with a magnetic reed switch jumped to the back of the lightning bolt connecer.
Thank you for sharing this 🙏🙏😊
Would you suggest this phone for a 14 yr old who just likes to use social media?
If you can buy one for around £40-50 than yes. Also what phone does the 14 year old Habe at the moment or is this the first phone?
@@DariuszTech The 14 year old had an iPhone 7 ( screen broke )
The iPhone SE has a smaller display, worse camera, performance so I don't think they would be happy switching
A 14 year old shouldn’t be using social media
Nice
Thanks 👍
This phone is only 113 grams in weight. In 2023 most "phones" weigh at least 190 grams... Its ridiculous, really hope phones start geting smaller and lighter again soon.
I know
ortam harika bol yeşillik
Thanks
Zadziała na nim DJI Fly?
Nie mam pojęcia
I’m using my first generation se now 😂 32storage version
Nice 🙂
How is it ? Ok or not
Apple produces realy good quality phones. Thats realy a unique buying agument.
Agree 👍
Please review iPhone X
Maybe one day 😜🤠
05:23 Beautiful kid. I love kids😊
I love the size of the phone but those bezels are too big I can’t stand them. They’re just atrocious.
It's a great iPhone yes, but the minute you put a SIM card in & try to use it as an everyday iPhone it'll literally over heat & drain the battery within an hour or 2
Interesting 🤔
Not in my case. I still use one daily and while it does not last the whole day it still goes through most of it
This display does not seem original. I’ve seen iPhone SE with far better brightness display and quality
Thanks for sharing your thoughts but I can reassure you it's original display.
You have to remember this is a phone from 2016
16 GB and 50% goes to iOS wtf
Unfortunately 😕
