Honestly, all u need is a basic phone for calls and texts, and some social media. I like how he always says use your phone less since we all kind of need that. This guy needs more subs lol
Edit: why does this have so many freaking likes geez... anyways ty for all of the likes!
This phone still games pretty good too
@@D3great12 If u say so bro! Never had this phone myself lol
@@iLCDMC i use it now as a daily driver. Its definitely not the best but when it comes to call of duty pubg and most games in the app store it runs pretty well. Definitely heats up though
*long battery life.
Yeah fr fr
My wife still uses one because she absolutely refuses to get rid of the home button. I love her anyway :D.
She’s fking her coworkers
That’s the same reason I went from a 6s to SE 2nd gen to a SE 3rd gen
I joined the SE 2 club this week, having been on SE 1 for the past year.
Battery dies waaay too fast
Still on an OG SE.
@@andyfloyd8583with 15.8.2 and replaced battery is perfectly usable
How to join tha club
@@sozlon which one (se 1st gen here) I agree on this one but I think a simple battery replacement would fix it
All you need is a phone that nails the basics, phone calls, texting, social media and has a decent camera. The iPhone SE and the iPhone 13 mini are perfect for that and very affordable. You really can’t give me a good reason why you should spend 1000 bucks on a phone other than you are just bored and looking for joy and happiness in the wrong places, a new phone won’t do that for you.
13 min battery sucks and it’s small buying a new phone every year is stupid but getting the latest one every 3-5 years makes perfect sense
@@user-tb9cl2my6i 13 mini battery doesn’t suck, gets me through the day almost always.
@@user-tb9cl2my6i the battery on my 13 mini is good as and its 85% battery health you just need to go outside more. 4 hours of screen time and 47%
@@user-tb9cl2my6i13 mini battery is the best among small phones
I agree. So much money these phones are… all it is marketing and manipulation. America is the capital of over consumption on all fronts. I have the SE 2 and the phone works great and I’ll get the SE 3 when the time comes. I enjoy it. I love the home button and Touch ID.
Using this as primary device and started my iphone journey with se 3
this video is different from the rest. it has a somewhat more genuine and emotional more 'vibe' to it. i like how you talk more about what it made you feel rather than just the typical "oh it's missing some of these features" or whatever, i really appreciate that! thanks for making this video!
exactly what i was thinking, too! it feels so "home" rather than those numerous same-style tech based channels.
Love your take on the simplicity
I like the videos. keep up the good work, you have a good opinion on said subjects and related genres, I like how you approach different categories
thank you!! exactly the review I needed
Dude, we need a lot of people like you in this world thanks 💯
I really appreciate that. Thank you for taking the time to watch!
Love this phone mate, light yet powerful
Amazing video! It's my first time watching you, and let me tell you, you have a way of explaining facts that seem philosophical. I'm considering switching back to Apple after a couple of years with Android, and after seeing your video, I think I will opt for an older model that just does the job. Why do we have to keep staring at those screens? Why should we give them our FULL attention 24/7? You've gained a new subscriber!
You should try the iPhone 8. Even thought it is no longer supported, it is still an amazing phone. It does everything you need to. I can use it for pretty much everything that an iPhone 15 can do. Older iPhones arent bad, theyre still apple and it is still good. Almost every iPhone is butterly smooth. Sure, saying that you got an iPhone 8 or iPhone se doesnt sound as cool but you shouldnt care about that. Just get a phone that does what you want and need it to do.
Im using iPhone 8 & its cool 🎉
i agree i use s20 ans 256gb X fine
Nice and I use a iphone xr and it's running great since 2020
@@freddy-oy5ueI also have an iPhone XR and since iOS 17 I have constant stutters and visual glitches, apps constantly become unresponsive and I have to relaunch them. My next phone will be Android, because this is the state iOS is in. Even people with the latest iPhones say the same things. I think apple doesn’t care about the quality anymore because they know people will still buy it because android is different and also because of the status. The same thing happened with previous versions too. They usually fix all the bugs a couple months before the new version comes out and breaks everything again.
i have an iPhone 8 Plus.
Such a genuine person and honest review on things and providing great information. Thanks Sir❤... iphone se is the perfect combo of handy and power.
Ive watched so many of your videos and legit thought you had millions of subscribers!!! I was shocked to see thats not the case, You deserve so much more! And if you read this.. keep going man!
I really appreciate the comment. Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos!
I use since last August iPhone 7Plus and I have no problem with it.
Hi. Thanks to your video I just bought the SE3. 😅
I have an iPhone 12 mini and I’m perfectly happy with it! No more new unless this one doesn’t work at all anymore! I will buy the same one if I had to get another iPhone! All I need is mine that I have had for over a year now and doing great! Love this video and I totally agree with it!👌
Ive had mine since launch date. No complaints here at all. Been an Android guy and the se3 is my first iphone. Waiting for what the se4 has to bring to us
i used one of the same for my dailly and it awesome i love it!
I happen to agree I work in retail selling phones and sim plans for a mobile network and the amount of people coming into upgrade from a 13 is pretty insane. I have a 15 myself but only because my dad was looking to upgrade as his phone was 7+ years old and it made more sense to give him my current phone at the time. The difference is minimal and the only difference ivies noticed is better battery life on my 15 plus simply because of the bigger size bigger battery. I assume if they made a 13 plus not just pro max it would have the same effect. It handles my day to day tasks in the exact same way. There was zero lag or reason to upgrade my 13.
I currently use the iPhone 13 but did use the SE 2020 for 3 years since 2021 and in my opinion its a good budget iPhone for people starting to get phones
Huh… that call bug you mentioned actually brought back some memories for me. My iPhones do that for me, so I think it might be an iOS issue (I’m also not on T-Mobile)
I had the se 2022 and I enjoyed the phone in particular the log in button ( can’t remember the exact name) I found that very useful when accessing the phone when I needed to. My battery was just as good if not better than the iPhone 13 mini I up graded too but the screen quality was what made me change. But a brilliant phone nevertheless
Really nicely made vid as always!
Thank you! I really enjoyed your recent keyboard video as well. Thanks for taking the time to watch!
Writing on an SE first gen, I luv it! So small and yet so powerful and modern
THX for the video
I use this as a backup phone, matter of fact im typing on it rn and it is so timeless performance wise. I have a 15 as a main and don’t notice performance difference unless they are side by side.
buen video, gracias a ti me decidí a comprarlo 🍄
i used to spend 6 hours pe day on my phone, thanks to this video i bought this phone, support from italy
Amazing Video
A pixel 4a,4a5g or 5 "review" like this would also be nice 👌. For the android side of things
I have a regular galaxy s22 and it just works fine for me 😮
Battery should be better, but I turned on battery saving and now it lasts way longer
great video, love the se lineup
The only reason why I wanted a newer iPhone was the battery life.
I always put on music on my headphones when I'm going somewhere and every morning from my home to my school (which is 20-25 minutes away) my battery percentage on my SE dropped to 80%. It always died around noon with my usage. If I didn't use it that much, it lasted until 4 in the afternoon.
Had my SE since 2021, and while the two main complaints about it would be the camera and the battery life, it still functions perfect for me 4 years later. It’s put me into a position where I have no clue if and what I go to next.
Subscribed 😊
I have my eyes on a 2022 SE for my youngest son to replace Iphone 5. Will be a huge upgrade for him.
he makes alot of sense.
You’re proving that “less is more” in this situation. But we have a lot of those at work, they’re super restricted, and the battery sucks. We have some 11 models, same restrictions, which are much better on battery.
personally, i care about a phone that has a big screen so i can stream youtube. other tasks i like my phone doing is playing mobile games efficiently, good battery life, and day to day life modules that everyone needs. After recently losing my iphone 10r, i was brought with the option to purchase a 2020 se. Im going to keep it for a few months and upgrade it to a 12 or 13 pro max, since ive heard it checks off all the requirements i want in a phone. your video made me view modern phones differently. you earned a sub from me :)
if you have any suggestions for phones, pls reply here
Better buy an ipad for gaming efficiency
Your issue with calls not connecting when placed, most iPhones have 4 antennas (mimo) but the SE only has two. I've noticed the same issues when I was using my SE3 vs my iPhone 13. The battery life on my SE was astounding because I rarely used the internet browser and I do not have social media accounts. Social Media applications drain your battery quickly, if you cherish battery life/health then train yourself to only access social media via a laptop.
Lol I’m still on my 8 Plus! Still does all I need and love the 1080p 16:9 screen. Like 10% of people I can’t use OLED anyway! I’m bummed that the SE 4 is going to be OLED
Whats with OLED tho?
@@Af.frederichI think it has to do with the refresh rate of OLED, some ppls eyes can’t adapt to it. I know I’m probably way off but it’s something like that.
@@Af.frederichlook up PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) OLED. It’ll explain everything. Many people are affected by it. It can cause migraines, eye strain and nausea. I’m also affected by it, which is why I’m still on my iPhone 11.
@@Af.frederich the PWM hurts the eyes and gives headaches and nausea. 10% of people suffer with it and can’t use OLED.
@@steveb1972 ah i see! Thanks for the new info 😆
the immediate dropped calls is a t-mobile issue. i’ve been unable to pick up calls lately, but can call out just fine
A android flagship that was made in 2019 or later is very good for every phone use needed, some may lack in battery life more than others, but battery life will be better than any iphone se
I bought new SE 3 couple months back, been using it since then and tbh i love the device.
Ps for everyone complaining about battery I do charge it twice a day but I use it literally all the damn time so yeah its not that bad from my pov.
And for the camera it shoots 4k 60fps which is way more than enough. Deep fusion and smart hdr 4 does make the images and videos way way better than older models. All in all A15 Bionic does it’s work pretty well.
If you don’t want a big screen device and are ok with old outdated classic design then yeah this is the best device for you.
The reason the first call didn’t go through is because of the focus mode being on or do not disturb
Getting mine today
I just bought the iph15 not bc its commercial etc but because i needed a new phone, i gave my previous one to my father because his one was close to expl0de
And i keep iphones until their software support ends.. instead of saving money 100/200€ and have to spend another 1k before 1/2 years i prefer having smth that can last longer
But i understand your point of view and i completely agree.
Using SE 2020 since October 2020
Less use more battery, you win me over bro, subscription done. 😂❤
hahaha, it is a little tongue in cheek, but we could all use our phones a little less
I use this exact phone and T-Mobile and I’ve never gotten that Call Failed issue
Waiting for iPhone SE4 😊
real! there are so many people that say this iphone is outdated and same with the third version and i disagree. the only thing i wish was bigger was the battery just because i have battery anxiety but it works fine for me even when i use my phone a lot
I think a battery case for a phone like this should actually be pretty cheap considering the design is 7+ years old. But I hear you, I am a light phone user and it even ran out on me....
I use the iPhone 8 and it's working fine.
i had the se 2 in 2022 up until feb 2023 when i lost it, i have gone through a lot of androids and all of them was a bad experience, and im going back to the se 2 or maybe the se 3 for an extra 80 euros.
i went from this phone to the iphone 13 last month and i wanna go back to my old phone so bad
Should i buy this for my parents they just need a phone for calls message and WhatsApp stuff
RUclips sometimes
My wife isn’t doing the most on her phone but she’s still on the SE 2020 and everything is great besides battery life but that sucked even when new. It is an iPhone 11 inside after all, still a solid phone. She doesn’t want to leave the home button interface (4s and SE1 were her last two) but I am pushing for her to go 13 Mini. Or hope to god Apple will release another phone around that size she hates how large even my 13 Pro is
Se 2024
I’m using an se 2022 that I got for $150 from Walmart after using Verizon prepaid for 2 months it’s unlocked on visible. The only limitation I have is the 64gb of storage
The free apps Focos and NeuralCam give you all the updated camera tools and a MagSafe case or sticker would let you use MagSafe chargers and other peripherals. A battery case could be an idea too!
Neural Cam wont to be honest...tried it and it's just nah vs iPhones with night modes aside from speed of taking night shots
I always hated big phones with notch, full screen and stuff. For me, the signature of iPhone is Home button. That’s why I still use SE 2020 and I’ll only upgrade to new model for chipset, not for the horrible design…
I have an iPhone SE 2022...and I think it looks fantastic....but I don't use iPhones that much. Im a Samsung Knight. But I love the old style iPhones.(6/7/8/SE's) I MIGHT upgrade to the next SE, but I DEF won't be using a Flagship iPhone.
I'm using a se2020.
My battery is horrible. It won't make it half a day.
I have to put it in power saving mode. Then it comfortably makes it the whole day.
Other than that issue, I mostly enjoy the phone. I don't like apple ui. But it works. I don't like spending a lot of money on phones.
rocking iphone se 2 from past 2 plus year still using i dont have any any complains
Nice!
On average how many hours can you use per full charge?
Ive used the iPhone se 2020 since August of 2020 and i like it but battery life is definitely my biggest concern everything else and its great
4 years, change the battery or upgrade
yeah ive had some calling issues with my SE 2. i don't remember this on iOS 16
thank you Andres Iniesta for the review!
Is this making fun of me for being bald?
Me over here watching this on my SE 2020 that’s I’ve been using since, well, 2020
Definitely switching to android after this
great camera
I’m an iPhone X user and I noticed that I’ve been using my phone way too much lately and I wanna downgrade to an SE to fix my addiction and this video has really convinced me to downgrade.
Great video!

Bro I’m a long time subscriber of your channel. And it’s my suggestion that you can come up with lot of alternative better content than these.. old iPhone in this time videos.. it’s getting monotonous. I know you are a nice person and you are capable of bringing some great content. I hope you reflect on this. My best wishes
I appreciate the feedback, I’m always looking to improve. I had this video in the pipeline for a while, thanks for watching and your support!
Came for the “1 wee later” thumbnail. Stayed for the great content.
Hahah 😂
Did you try removing the SIM card and reinserting again? This happens to me when I switch between my older iPhone SE 2016.
Do you enjoy this SE 2020 or the iPhone 12 mini?
If I were to choose a phone, I would probably lean towards the 12 mini because of the ultra wide camera, and nothing else. That is the biggest difference that I am noticing in using. But I am an outlier that films a lot. If you just film basic things I would lean 2022 SE, for the extra years of security updates
@@techno_eclipsethanks for the response. I might just have to try the 12 mini, I’ve had my SE 2020 for about 3 years now and would like the change to the new design.
2:00 Meanwhile I got Conway's Game of Life running on an old Samsung slider phone.
5.5MiB of ram, and a CPU probably at 192Mhz! Also, no virtual memory! Or even any semblance of memory safety. (You can easily crash the phone if you double free())

maaan!!!
you are good in making this kind of videos
you should work with apple in commercializing their products hhhhh lol
i have an Se 2020 since 2020 and my battery is on 73% which is a problem yes but it still works perfectly even tho i am heavy user i have like 8-10 hours a day sometimes but even so i still manage very well i have no problems with it and it costed me what 400$?
7:17 Most of the criticism is very valid. Yet, you fail to mention that the phone you like so much only exists, because the concept you criticise works well. All iPhone SE models are past designs and that makes them affordable. This well working OS is financed by the latest and greatest. So maybe there is some merit in Apples strategy.
Nice!
Thank you for taking some time out of your day to watch my video!
Acá viendo desde un SE3 ❤❤
I wish I could reply back in Spanish, I hope you can translate this. That is the next phone I am going to test out! Thanks for watching!
I feel like Apple knew what they were doing with the SE 2022, since I see now more and more people "downgrading" to it in today's age of scoial media boom and being constantly online. There's a phone just good enough for phone stuff, but one that will also not intrigue you into staring into it for hours every day. I'm seriously thinking of swapping my 13 Pro for the SE, I'm tired of the digital life and "good" phones.
DO IT!!!
Hey, great video! I agree on using your phone less. Also, everyone should subscribe and share this video lol
You seem biased?
@@techno_eclipse maybe just a tad 😅
The iPhone SE is great for people that just want that. A phone
Iphone SE 2020 Masih worthed itu bang 👍🏾
I have an iphone 13 mini but I'm thinking of buying an iphone se 2022 instead. they have the same processor so will get as many updates as iphone 13
off topic but in 3 minutes of the video i had a hmd tweet play a video and it was the same song it was actually disorienting
I just got the pixel 7a last year. While the phone is amazing its a bit much. I feel like i should have gotten the SE when i switched from my 10r
Great video!
Yesterday i uninstalled all my mobile games again after i got pissed at my screentime, hope i actually keep them uninstalled for once
You will! You are actively thinking about it. In my experience you will change, it took me a while to really figure out my screen time, but the fact that I was constantly thinking about it made all the difference! I am working on a Scott Schroeder video now about how I gave up pop for 30 days (it's actually been 50 now) and it is incredible how much better I feel. I had been thinking about it for 2+ years at this point and I finally just hit a breaking point and here I am! 50 days of no pop at all!
You really do not need the nevest, the greatist. iPhone 12 and as you showed the SE, they are still pretty good phones. And nowadays it also aplies to Android. Yousing something like Galaxy S21 is still more than good.
Agreed! I am actually looking forward to testing out a Galaxy s21 or something along those lines here pretty soon. Any suggestions?
I think S21 is still a good choice but if you can grap someting newer like S22 for good price than why not. But for me perosnally S21 is enough. I used till december 2023 when i switched to iPhone.
The fact that some people treat this as a challenge is pretty sad TBH. Most tech RUclipsrs are just as bad at making people think they need newer more expensive phones than you do. The fact is Apple makes their phones last years and years by updating them and supporting them. Nobody absolutely NEEDS the latest and greatest phone to start every year over again. Great video
0:42 it’s because she’s on dnd bro
I use an iphone 11. Downgraded from my 14 and this phone is amazing.
I use an iPhone 6s it works perfectly fine in 2024
Writing this from iPhone 8 (still very good)
Small nice to carry around but bezels big 😂
Thumbnail: one wee ater
I have a iPhone 7 so…
i refuse to use any non home button iphone i got the iphone se 3 and tried a brand new iphone 12 but ended up selling it because i like the home button way too much
If you actually compare the 13 and 14 on Apples website, there is nothing that is different... same mp cams, same A chip everything haha, that's why I iphone flipped from a xr all the way to a 13 pro max and stopped as I am happy with it as a second phone while my main is the s23 ultra upgraded from a note 10 on contract lol
