  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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 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

    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.
