Can we talk about how gorgeous the red color is here? I really, really love it. Also, I didn't really mention Touch ID much here and that kind of goes to show how great it is. Works really well and with the current world of masks, I'd say it's better than ever. Full iPhone Buying Guide - ruclips.net/video/KL9V-hNDFYA/видео.html
I’m a huge fan of the iPhone SE as I had the first SE twice...(one was stolen) I then had a 7 for 6 months and then a XR since the 23rd January. I loved the 7 size and this size too to having a mix of both with a great chip inside...ooh I’m interested
I'm with you there (lol). I was stuck in the US last year due to covid, and I got an original SE for $60 at an online auction on Goodwill, so that $100 difference alone can get you a semi-decent phone and keep some change in your pocket
I think the SE is very good for people like me, who want the cheapest iPhone possible from Apple, don't spend too much time on their phone daily, which makes battery life almost irrelevant, people who just text, make phone calls and browse the web every now and then for a few minutes and people who want a phone that nails the basics essentially. And people who want a small phone, unlike the Xr, which is a bit bigger and wider, certainly noticeable.
This is pretty much it, can't have our phones on us at work and I really only use it to text and surf the web at home so a cheap model makes sense, I'm always near a charger, I had the I phone 5 for years which was smaller and obviously not as good as this one, and that was more then enough for me, and I don't really care about impressing people by owning an over priced phone.
@@greg8214 it's ebay bro that was the individual person who sold it like that, you have to find your own deal. I would also recommend looking on swappa. Tons of good devices on there and you only have to pay 25 bucks plus tax on top of whatever they're charging for the device (shipping is included in the cost unless you want it extra fast)
I had the iPhone SE since it first came out and I got it in Product Red. Works great because of how fast it is with the A13 chip and how it takes shape of the iPhone 8 since I’m not ready to move on from the home button.
I got it for $300 from my carrier back in November, what an amazing phone for that price. Even though it locks me in for 2 years with the financing, it's worth it for the savings. The phone normally costs $600 in my country, not $400.
iphone 8 is 3 years old and still worth buying (If the battery is new). Battery degrading is the only true reason why iPhones a few years old are a problem buying now, Other than that they still run like champs on latest IOS and are perfectly useable for all things smartphone today including gaming. A testament to Apple silicone and hardware in general.
The iPhone SE has been a great option for gifts for my family members. Most of them are on older iphones and the flagships are too pricey. I was able to find the 2020 SE at $199 (Walmart if you're wondering) brand new and gave them to a few family members as gifts to upgrade their aging iphones. I of course always get the latest and greatest iphones but Apple does an amazing job of supporting their old devices, it's a much better gift than a cheap android phone that may not ever get any software updates.
See, I grew up poor and until the last couple years only ever used sub-$200 android phones. I just bought the 2020 iPhone SE this week. I have absolutely no complaints. It does everything I do on a phone perfectly fine and is gorgeous.
I bought an SE and being that i come from a 6s I am fine with the battery, plus i think you miss the point of storage yes for a 100 bucks more you can get a 64 gb XR but for only 50 bucks you can get iphone se with 128 gb which i went for and yeah it’s totally worth it
I understand the feeling. My secondary phone is a 16gb original SE, and I have to transfer the pictures to my PC every weekend. And the only third party apps installed are Chrome and Whatsapp
Good subject for a video . I got the SE back in May and my Battery is still at 100% capacity . I got the phone because I wanted the touch ID and i like a small phone . The SE isn’t a phone for somebody who plays with their phone all day but if you’re a person who is working email ,texting , phone calls , Google maps ,the occasional video and listening to podcasts on the work you won’t have a problem with the battery.
For what it’s worth, I’ve had this phone since launch, and the battery life has been as good as my previous phone the galaxy note 8. Apple seem to have optimized away the negatives of the smaller size in terms of battery life!
It's a good budget small iPhone. Some people might think the XR/11 is too big and not everyone want to spend so much money for 12 mini. Somehow it fits for people who want a budget iPhone and/or a smaller iPhone
A lot more people have bought the SE as opposed to the mini. The mini sells haven't been good at all, too expensive for what you get. Price should have been in the $550 range at most.
Great video as always. I also use SE 2020 and while I totally get the point of getting a XR or 11 due to points made in video, I still feel like SE is good enough for me. As battery-wise, I don't really do heavy stuff on my phone (Just some social media, listening some music, messaging etc.) so my battery easily lasts 1-2 days. And that just seems good enough for me :D Performance on this phone is spectacular for it's line-up, thanks to A13 Bionic, so I don't have a slightest thing to argue with that.
For those of us who are hard on phones, the SE is the best choice, as screen replacement is only $129, while higher spec phones have screens that cost twice as much. And I mainly use my phone as a phone. My IPad Mini 5 takes care of most other tasks.
I’ve been using the SE for about 6 months now and it’s been pretty good! It’s so cool to be able to take portrait photos and play intense games on this phone. Only thing I don’t like about it is the battery life. I’m already halfway through the day and my battery is almost dead... I’ll probably pick up some sort of battery case eventually
@@blitzzgaming5183 It drains fast, but I don’t play high performance games on my phone that often anyways. I mostly just play Minecraft and emulators (yes, you can get emulators on iPhone)
I’d say for a use case where you have an iPad at home for a bigger screen device to use and don’t use your phone too much outside of the house, the SE is a hell of a steal.
The worst the thing from my iPhone SE 2 is the battery life, I find that I now have to charge it half way through the day; after almost one year of use. Great vid btw 👌
@@Agent311 I'm a light user, spend around 1.5 hours a day on my phone. My SE battery life is great, no issues at all. Owned since launch day, battery health still at 99%.
Battery in the SE is bad, I have to charge it like 1/2 Times on a day (for me a day is 6 AM to 10-11 PM)... I use it like 8-9 hours each day, and battery life dropped to 91% since june 2020 🤡
I have had the iPhone SE 2 since 2 weeks after launch and I sure still love it! Battery health is now at 91%, and I am considering upgrading to the 12 mini at this point, but it’s still a great phone!
My parents' prepaid carrier was offering a 2 for 1 deal over the holidays which I took advantage of to get them upgraded from their 6 Plus models. Though the SE 2 might be too small for my dad, overall they're happy with their new phones!
I picked up a used 2020 iPhone SE for $400 Australian (which is about $310 USD) and for that price, the phone has been amazing. It had been used for a few months, but the person selling had received a XS for Christmas, and didn’t want the SE anymore, so that was amazing. It was also in really good condition, just some minor scratches on the screen that aren’t noticeable with a screen protector on. But going from the 2016 iPhone SE, the biggest thing has been the camera. It takes amazing shots, shots that I would consider better than the galaxy s9. Lots of people comment on how good the photos from the phone look, and for the price, I don’t think any camera could match it, smartphone or not. Also thanks for the clarification on night mode not being supported due to the smaller sensor, it makes a lot of sense and makes me feel better about apple not including it. I do believe this phone does take alright night shots compared to phones without night mode, but it doesn’t compare to those that do. The speed has also been nice, and I find iOS 14 less buggy on the newer SE (the older one doesn’t have Taptic, so when holding down on notification icons it doesn’t vibrate to tell you when to stop holding, and Siri doesn’t drain 4% of the battery for every request, but that’s just the on device processing). But overall I would say this phone is a steal at that price, in Australia the phone normally goes for 522 USD, so getting the phone for just over $300 USD is incredible. And I don’t use a case because the red is soo nice. I’m starting to consider getting a red watch band for my Apple Watch... Also thank you so much for all your videos, I really enjoy the style, the music, the content, you are one of my favourite youtubers and as long as you are happy with what you are doing, I can’t wait to see what comes next!!!
OMFG I searched this type of video 2 hours ago to see if it's worth it or not and I didn't find any and now you uploaded one thanks I'm hoping to get one on 1-2 months
My mom is with the se2 and she really likes it. The battery gets her through the day despite using her phone a lot . I even think she’s addicted to her phone. But she mostly uses it for fb,WhatsApp and phone calls and really never complained from the battery.
I have an iPhone SE and it's alright, i upgraded from the iPhone 7 and i really do see a huge difference in quallity. It's wireless charging is really helpful when just needing to throw it on charge (I need to charge it once a day, maybe 1 and a half time at most). It screen is a hint better than the iPhone 7 and so is the camera. I really do enjoy the iPhone SE but i just wish that Apple included Face ID as i really do think that the SE is more than capable of it.
@Benjamin Owuye Jagun that’s why apple gonna ditch the face id soon when the iphone 13 gets released and they’re replacing it again with the updated on display touch id.
I’m going to upgrade, probably to an SE 21 if the rumors of a bigger screen are true, but otherwise the only two problems I have with the 20 are the relatively small battery/short life; and that I had my 5s die about the time the 20 came out. (I needed a phone RIGHT then but didn’t feel like driving across hell and half of Texas to get one, so I had to settle for the red w/ 64 gb (first world problems). As usual, one always seems to discover the storage on the base model will come up like 🥔 Webb in the dunk contest.
I'm so tempted to get an SE and I don't even know why. It's a tech itch that hasn't gone away for a while. For the record not even a year ago I got a Samsung S20 FE for $250 brand new on black Friday. The last iPhone I ever used was my 6S and I last used it as an actual phone in 2019-2020.
@91Tech it's hard to believe that the processor in this small phone is the same processor used in iPad 9tg gen. It makes me think that many phones have processors that are never pushed to their limits.
Your first video praising the SE 2020 actually convinced me to switch from being a life-long android user. I’m not on a budget but I’ve become one of those consumers that doesn’t need to spend much to get the functions I want. Love this new video too!
Honestly I haven’t seen any difference between the 6s and the SE . But I’ve only had the SE for less than 6 hours . But I have heard that the battery life is about the same
It’s crazy to think that the SE 2nd gen is a year old in 2 months. I still remember the announcement day, I was eating breakfast and I pulled out my phone expecting another boring quarantine day but to my surprise the iPhone SE 2 was announced. I started jumping up and down, I knew that this wasn’t even a phone I wanted to buy but it was so cool that Apple remastered the SE. my most favorite iPhone ever.
iPhone SE is still the best phone you can buy! I laugh when I see people in masks struggling to unlock their phone when all I have to do is touch my phone and it unlocks.
@@mattybraps7620 yeah you just need an Apple Watch that supports that iOS update. Meaning if you don’t have at least a series 3 or newer or even HP have an Apple Watch then there goes another $200+ dollars to apple
@@fijiwill2237 yup that sounds like the solution alright. Buy more stuff instead of using something that actually works and not feeding my hard earned money to corporations who put out half assed products like iPhones without an in display fingerprint sensor like all the other brands do. Wait though, I know what you’ll say next: I’m cheap, I’m broke. Am I right? Right along the lines of “get my money up”. Because god knows anyone who puts any logical thought will be immediately hit with that stupid statement.
I just got the new iPhone se for Christmas of 2020 because my original iPhone se had audio problems and the battery drained really fast and it’s a really good phone and a much better size for my hands
I got an iPhone SE 2020. Took it back and got an iPhone 11 for only $200 more. Best choice I ever made. My iPhone SE had a yellow screen, true tone turned off and everything it was still yellow. The phone was also lopsided when laying flat on a table and no it wasn't the camera getting in the way it was in a case. I put my old iPhone 8 in the same case and it was not lopsided. Yeah the iPhone SE is only $399, but the quality control sure shows. Spend $599 only $200 more and get a phone apple cares about with better quality control. If you keep your phones for 2 to 3 years that $200 quickly pays for itself and more. iPhone 11, bigger and better screen, better camera, more internal memory, better sound recording, better speakers. Just a way better phone.
I run the se and love it as mentioned the only potential issue is battery life but as my daily driver it’s as close to perfect as a phone has been for me. And yes I have the red one which looks so high end. I use mine for filming the local church services and with an external mic it looks and sounds broadcast quality
Coming from Pixel 3, the main downside of this phone is the camera. I've notice that if you take a photo of a person, it will take a longer time to take the shot, resulting in a blurry photo. In low light, indoors, the image is just bad.
If I didn’t already own an iPhone 8 I would be seriously considering the iPhone SE2! As you’ve rightly said at new the battery is ok for mediocre use. In fact I used to get almost 2 days on mine. Nowadays I have to charge mine twice a day. So a battery change will soon be required 🔋
In my opinion, the iPhone SE and iPhone XR have equal trade offs. With the SE you get longer support with A13 but don’t get Face ID and other such functions. The iPhone XR on the other hand has the A12 chip and probably won’t last as long in getting updates.
I have one! It is my first iPhone and its infinitely better than any android phone I have ever used. (99% of the time) The small form factor is great because I have always hated using huge phones. I can easily text with one hand with this one and the 4 years of future support is nice.
Having gotten my mom an iPhone SE for Mother’s Day for 149.00 I think it is EXCEPTIONAL. She now has an iPhone with flagship INTERNALS at a REASONABLE price. Best phone EVER for the price. No way that can be argued.
The battery on my iPhone SE has degraded kinda quickly it’s about 84% its full Capacity and I got it May of 2020. I think it kinda depends how you use the SE.
I have an iPad Pro 9.7” and a Motorola Moto G6 Plus, and I use them a ton. I’m definitely a heavy user, playing the likes of Call of Duty Mobile, Brew Town, Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery, and taking multiple photos, videos, uploading stuff to RUclips on occasion. I used my phone a ton, which has a Snapdragon 630 processor, 1080p display, and it got just below 5 hours and 30 minutes of screen on time at 1%. The fact that the iPhone SE in 2021 ships with a 5W charger and has worse battery life than this with a 720p and efficient chipset, and has a shockingly small battery, makes the iPhone SE an objectively questionable product to purchase. I understand if there are people who without question need an iPhone to continue using the subscription services they enjoy using currently, but for those who are on the fence at the moment, please take a look at Mrwhosetheboss’ iPhone battery drain test video and have a look at the battery life you could experience with medium to high usage. Social media, games, camera usage will give you at best 4 - 4 and half hours of screen on time, which in 2021 should not be acceptable. Please, if you must buy an iPhone, consider better alternatives that give you a much better experience that lasts longer. This is kinda why I appreciate the phones Motorola makes, because even though they sometimes downgrade to 720p displays, the endurance is a serious reason to consider them. We do not need the latest A series processors from Apple to enjoy our digital lives, because smartphones have now transcended the point of having major differences, we all have a fully working smartphone now, please don’t accept the scandalous business practices of Apple by buying an iPhone SE, it’s seriously not worth the money. Buy an iPhone XR or above if you must get an iPhone. Also, my phone gives me the option to have both a fingerprint sensor and face scanner. Touch ID is no longer a ‘generation defining’ feature, Android phones have caught up now with the speeds and generally offer both options for half the price. So please, keep an open mind of you can, and start considering how long you use your phone for. Battery life and features matter.
If you care about cameras or battery for that price buy the pixel 4a instead. But if you want water resistance, long support or great performance then the iPhone is better
I’ve had this phone since last May and its the best decision I made in 2020. I changed from my iPhone 6 so I barely noticed the difference from the outside but from the inside .. it’s such a fast and powerful device. Photo quality is crisp and sound works great. In a current world with travel restrictions, curfews and remote working, battery life is the least of my worries, since the longest I’m out of my house is a couple of hours lol.
Just got 2 free by switching to xfinity and both phones unlimited data is $88 Hope the phone runs good I’m switching from 2 iPhone XR’s but they cost over $200 monthly. Saving a lot here
I agree with the battery life. I have had my SE since April of last year and I have really sensed the battery is not holding up. But I love this phone so much
I got the 11 back in 2020, instead of the se because I use the iPad mini 5 and the control centre is accessible from swiping down on the top right and the SE can’t do that, but my 11 can. So I don’t wanna get confused by that. And also because it’s bigger (obviously) than the SE
im never more than 2 hrs away from a charger. i dont want a bigger phone. i strongly prefer touch id. why am i giving extra dollars to apple for an 11 or a lol xr? goof
I switched from iPhone 4S to SE (2020) and I am not disappointed at my choice. I don’t feel like I am using a cheap phone. On the basis of specs sheets, it is not that strong but when using it, it just feels so good using it. It might have LCD display, but the color accuracy and the view it provides, no LCD display phone can beat it. Camera wise; it demolishes iPhone XR in some areas, even if camera hardware of XR is better. And, when pictures are compared to iPhone 11 side by side, people will have difficulty to show which phone took which picture. And let’s not say this phone has some key feature in it which were introduced only with the release of iPhone 11. I’d anyone wants to buy it, I am 100% recommending this phone.
For a person that came from the iPhone 6 the iPhone SE (2020) is a great phone to have because of just everything my iPhone 6 didn't have a good battery life at only 79% and having also the 16GB of storage on the 6 made it more difficult so I looked at the iPhone se with a contract and it is 1000 times better than the 6 I had and you can also get it for free with a 2 year contract on basically any cellular data plan so really good phone for anyone like me.
I had both XR vs SE and owned for about a year each. XR was traded-in is heavier with frequent dropped calls. It does have excellent battery and internet connectivity. SE excellent connectivity calls/internet, light, faster, affordable, touchID, but agree about the small screen and poor battery. There are workarounds with IPad for media consumption and purchased a $40 battery juice pack (doubles weight) nearly tripling battery life that is greater than the 12 Pro Max. I believe the choice is simple, save the money for the more powerful, faster and lighter SE and prefer Touch ID is better for wearing a mask.
Had it since launch, traded in an old Iphone and got the SE for $250. It's been a awesome value buy for me. I use the phone for maybe 1.5 hours daily, so the battery easily makes it through the day for me. It's also the first phone I have owned that could do wireless charging, which I like.
The thing people over look with the battery is that this is a major upgrade anyone coming from an iPhone 6 or original SE. I told my co-worker to get the SE 2 from the SE 1 and it was such an upgrade for her. Her battery lasts her two days due to her use case and especially since she is in her early 40s. This phones market is different from us tech enthusiasts.
Just bought one almost 1 month XD, this is the best for me, i still feel it bigger. but is the smaller iPhone for the price, and more if you're looking for 128GB or more like me
My first phone was actually the first generation iPhone se but after 4 years I Finally upgraded to the second generation and it’s been doing great for me.
I can’t say enough good things about the iPhone SE, I love the finger print ID/The speed of the i13 processor/and takes better pictures than your Multi camera $1100 iPhones, depending on the carrier the price will vary… is this a good value, it’s an awesome value what more do you want? I love ❤️ my iPhone SE
I’ve been using this second gen Iphone SE ever since May last year, and so far all is well, except for the battery, am now rocking at 89% of battery life.
I had the x but really didn’t like it. The screen was to big and overwhelming for me. I didn’t like the phone was just screen. I also found it an in general big phone that was a little heavy. So I bought the SE and I’m happy with it. It is indeed fast. I think I will keep this phone till a new SE will come out.
just ordered one for 200 using as a business / work phone battery life isnt gonna matter since im mostly gonna use for text/ call and nothing else.. wanted iphone cause i message and facetime
I had it since it first came out I bought it without thinking twice because I really wanted touch ID during pandemic it easier than face ID I already had my 11 Pro Max but I still want a second phone that has shape like my 6S but get the latest chipset so here it is the iPhone SE 2020 is the best for everything except battery life! 🔋
I think you completely missed the point of the se.... Its supposed to be for the people who don't 2ant the newer models and want to stay updated on the software
Amazing video I love your reviews on iphones and ipads and many apple products and I love your iPhone SE 2 review. Actually amazing device,just look old. Can you do video about: "will iPhone 6S,iPhone 6S Plus,iPhone SE 1 2016,iPad Air 2,iPad Mini 4 and iPad 5 9.7 2017 get iOS 15(and iPadOS 15)"?
Ordered an unlocked 2020 SE off of Back Market for $200(arrives tomorrow!). Currently using a 14 pro but sometime just feel like switching for funzies 🙃.
Can we talk about how gorgeous the red color is here? I really, really love it.
Also, I didn't really mention Touch ID much here and that kind of goes to show how great it is. Works really well and with the current world of masks, I'd say it's better than ever.

The SE has a slightly better rear camera than the XR but slightly worse than the 11 rear camera.
See, I grew up poor and until the last couple years only ever used sub-$200 android phones. I just bought the 2020 iPhone SE this week. I have absolutely no complaints. It does everything I do on a phone perfectly fine and is gorgeous.
I bought an SE and being that i come from a 6s I am fine with the battery, plus i think you miss the point of storage yes for a 100 bucks more you can get a 64 gb XR but for only 50 bucks you can get iphone se with 128 gb which i went for and yeah it’s totally worth it
I got it when it first came out it's still a great phone will be for many years to come 💯
Watching this video on the exact same phone 😂, it’s a wonderful phone, battery life is good and feels fast
I think we can assume that his favorite phone is the iPhone 11.
HE TALKS ABOUT IT EVERY TIME!!!
It do be a great phone tho, I’ve had it since 2019 and it’s the best iPhone I’ve owned
When the 11 was the newest he said the XR was the best also he says the og iPhone SE is good
It's not his favourite. It's just the best value phone, no need to get so upset over such a minor detail.
My dad loves his SE, Considering He Upgraded From A 16gb 5s That Kept On Running Out of Storage
I understand the feeling. My secondary phone is a 16gb original SE, and I have to transfer the pictures to my PC every weekend. And the only third party apps installed are Chrome and Whatsapp
The iphone XR is very big and I don’t like the bigger phone That’s why I Choose the iphone SE and I very happy with it 🔥🔥🔥
Good subject for a video . I got the SE back in May and my Battery is still at 100% capacity . I got the phone because I wanted the touch ID and i like a small phone . The SE isn’t a phone for somebody who plays with their phone all day but if you’re a person who is working email ,texting , phone calls , Google maps ,the occasional video and listening to podcasts on the work you won’t have a problem with the battery.
7 months on with 100% battery health. Impressive!! I m carrying mine for 2 months with 100% battery health :-)
how?! my SE is 5 months old and my battery health has dropped to 95% already. i don’t even use it that much
@@Lichohedge I've had mine since launch day, still at 99% battery health 10 months later.
For what it’s worth, I’ve had this phone since launch, and the battery life has been as good as my previous phone the galaxy note 8. Apple seem to have optimized away the negatives of the smaller size in terms of battery life!
It's a good budget small iPhone. Some people might think the XR/11 is too big and not everyone want to spend so much money for 12 mini. Somehow it fits for people who want a budget iPhone and/or a smaller iPhone
A lot more people have bought the SE as opposed to the mini. The mini sells haven't been good at all, too expensive for what you get. Price should have been in the $550 range at most.
Love mine in Product Red ! I have it since june 2020, a really nice phone 🙏🏼
Same but I got in Christmas
got mine a week ago in product red
I have it in white, got it in April 2020.
Great video as always. I also use SE 2020 and while I totally get the point of getting a XR or 11 due to points made in video, I still feel like SE is good enough for me. As battery-wise, I don't really do heavy stuff on my phone (Just some social media, listening some music, messaging etc.) so my battery easily lasts 1-2 days. And that just seems good enough for me :D Performance on this phone is spectacular for it's line-up, thanks to A13 Bionic, so I don't have a slightest thing to argue with that.
For those of us who are hard on phones, the SE is the best choice, as screen replacement is only $129, while higher spec phones have screens that cost twice as much.
And I mainly use my phone as a phone. My IPad Mini 5 takes care of most other tasks.
You are still the son I never had. Believe it or not I’m considering going back to the SE from the 12 mini.
I’ve been using the SE for about 6 months now and it’s been pretty good! It’s so cool to be able to take portrait photos and play intense games on this phone.
Only thing I don’t like about it is the battery life. I’m already halfway through the day and my battery is almost dead...
I’ll probably pick up some sort of battery case eventually
How was the battery when playing heavy games?
@@blitzzgaming5183 It drains fast, but I don’t play high performance games on my phone that often anyways. I mostly just play Minecraft and emulators (yes, you can get emulators on iPhone)
Dude do you read my mind? I need this vid. Looking to get a real phone vs just being an iPod guy.
I’d say for a use case where you have an iPad at home for a bigger screen device to use and don’t use your phone too much outside of the house, the SE is a hell of a steal.
The worst the thing from my iPhone SE 2 is the battery life, I find that I now have to charge it half way through the day; after almost one year of use. Great vid btw 👌
if you’re a heavy user yes, don’t get it. otherwise if you’re a medium to light user it’ll be okay to good
If you spend less time with your phone it’ll be alright
@@Agent311 I'm a light user, spend around 1.5 hours a day on my phone. My SE battery life is great, no issues at all. Owned since launch day, battery health still at 99%.
Battery in the SE is bad, I have to charge it like 1/2 Times on a day (for me a day is 6 AM to 10-11 PM)... I use it like 8-9 hours each day, and battery life dropped to 91% since june 2020 🤡
So if you always have a way to charge it, even if you are an heavy user, it’s a great phone, otherwise don’t buy it
I have had the iPhone SE 2 since 2 weeks after launch and I sure still love it! Battery health is now at 91%, and I am considering upgrading to the 12 mini at this point, but it’s still a great phone!
My parents' prepaid carrier was offering a 2 for 1 deal over the holidays which I took advantage of to get them upgraded from their 6 Plus models. Though the SE 2 might be too small for my dad, overall they're happy with their new phones!
I brought the SE 2020 about a month ago in black. My first iPhone and I absolutely love it.
How's the battery life ?
Loving my SE! So much better than the Razer Phone 2 that I bought a year prior.
I picked up a used 2020 iPhone SE for $400 Australian (which is about $310 USD) and for that price, the phone has been amazing. It had been used for a few months, but the person selling had received a XS for Christmas, and didn’t want the SE anymore, so that was amazing. It was also in really good condition, just some minor scratches on the screen that aren’t noticeable with a screen protector on. But going from the 2016 iPhone SE, the biggest thing has been the camera. It takes amazing shots, shots that I would consider better than the galaxy s9. Lots of people comment on how good the photos from the phone look, and for the price, I don’t think any camera could match it, smartphone or not. Also thanks for the clarification on night mode not being supported due to the smaller sensor, it makes a lot of sense and makes me feel better about apple not including it. I do believe this phone does take alright night shots compared to phones without night mode, but it doesn’t compare to those that do. The speed has also been nice, and I find iOS 14 less buggy on the newer SE (the older one doesn’t have Taptic, so when holding down on notification icons it doesn’t vibrate to tell you when to stop holding, and Siri doesn’t drain 4% of the battery for every request, but that’s just the on device processing). But overall I would say this phone is a steal at that price, in Australia the phone normally goes for 522 USD, so getting the phone for just over $300 USD is incredible. And I don’t use a case because the red is soo nice. I’m starting to consider getting a red watch band for my Apple Watch...
Also thank you so much for all your videos, I really enjoy the style, the music, the content, you are one of my favourite youtubers and as long as you are happy with what you are doing, I can’t wait to see what comes next!!!
To be honest, no one is gonna read this :(
OMFG I searched this type of video 2 hours ago to see if it's worth it or not and I didn't find any and now you uploaded one thanks I'm hoping to get one on 1-2 months
Glad to help :)
I switched from the 11 to this. I have had every iPhone from the first to the 12 pro but i just got the new se and I love it more than the big iphones
My mom is with the se2 and she really likes it. The battery gets her through the day despite using her phone a lot . I even think she’s addicted to her phone. But she mostly uses it for fb,WhatsApp and phone calls and really never complained from the battery.
I have an iPhone SE and it's alright, i upgraded from the iPhone 7 and i really do see a huge difference in quallity. It's wireless charging is really helpful when just needing to throw it on charge (I need to charge it once a day, maybe 1 and a half time at most). It screen is a hint better than the iPhone 7 and so is the camera. I really do enjoy the iPhone SE but i just wish that Apple included Face ID as i really do think that the SE is more than capable of it.
Wish Apple released also the Plus version! If that happens gonna grab it right away... I am still using iphone 7 plus right now.
Grab the 8 plus for the plus upgrade if you want Touch ID With 2 cameras. I know it’s 4 years old in September ‘21
@Benjamin Owuye Jagun that’s not true... touch id are instantaneous whatever light conditions!
@Benjamin Owuye Jagun that’s why apple gonna ditch the face id soon when the iphone 13 gets released and they’re replacing it again with the updated on display touch id.
@@nintendoaddict9615 umm? face id works in the dark??????? do you think that face id only uses the front camera and nothing else???
@Benjamin Owuye Jagun well u sound like u don’t wear face masks 😷 but whatever
I’m keeping mine until it dies. We are all at home more now. You don’t need a fancy phone. 😓
Are you serious?
@@Adamlol642 what?
The only problem is the battery life, I have to charge my phone at least twice a day.
Amen🙏🏾
I’m going to upgrade, probably to an SE 21 if the rumors of a bigger screen are true, but otherwise the only two problems I have with the 20 are the relatively small battery/short life; and that I had my 5s die about the time the 20 came out. (I needed a phone RIGHT then but didn’t feel like driving across hell and half of Texas to get one, so I had to settle for the red w/ 64 gb (first world problems). As usual, one always seems to discover the storage on the base model will come up like 🥔 Webb in the dunk contest.
Got the SE new for $150 from Walmart for my mom yesterday with the start of a new line from AT&T Prepaid. That was a hell of a deal.
I think the homebutton is a nice plus in this pandemic situation
Me: laughs in iOS 14.5 betas
Yea but the trade off is the outdated screen design, big forehead and chin
@@pdhobbies660 well it’s quite iconic
@@pdhobbies660 I used the SE, that’s no big deal
And Touch ID 😫😫😫
I'm so tempted to get an SE and I don't even know why. It's a tech itch that hasn't gone away for a while. For the record not even a year ago I got a Samsung S20 FE for $250 brand new on black Friday. The last iPhone I ever used was my 6S and I last used it as an actual phone in 2019-2020.
@91Tech it's hard to believe that the processor in this small phone is the same processor used in iPad 9tg gen. It makes me think that many phones have processors that are never pushed to their limits.
Your first video praising the SE 2020 actually convinced me to switch from being a life-long android user. I’m not on a budget but I’ve become one of those consumers that doesn’t need to spend much to get the functions I want. Love this new video too!
Just got the SE today . It’s definitely a change since I had a 6s before . But so far I love it !!
hows the battery compared to your 6s? id imagine anything is leagues ahead of the 6s lol
Honestly I haven’t seen any difference between the 6s and the SE . But I’ve only had the SE for less than 6 hours . But I have heard that the battery life is about the same
@@NikolasZedalisDesigns i guess it all depends on how you use your phone also.
@@NikolasZedalisDesigns The battery life definitely improved
Him of course it’s worth it also him
I don’t know why you would get it I recommend the XR or the 11 or 12
It’s crazy to think that the SE 2nd gen is a year old in 2 months. I still remember the announcement day, I was eating breakfast and I pulled out my phone expecting another boring quarantine day but to my surprise the iPhone SE 2 was announced. I started jumping up and down, I knew that this wasn’t even a phone I wanted to buy but it was so cool that Apple remastered the SE. my most favorite iPhone ever.
iPhone SE is still the best phone you can buy! I laugh when I see people in masks struggling to unlock their phone when all I have to do is touch my phone and it unlocks.
There’s mask ID in iOS 14.5 soon so we don’t have to worry bout taking it off.
@@mattybraps7620 yeah you just need an Apple Watch that supports that iOS update. Meaning if you don’t have at least a series 3 or newer or even HP have an Apple Watch then there goes another $200+ dollars to apple
@@Cristalks2244 lmao get your money up & it wouldn’t be an issue
@@fijiwill2237 yup that sounds like the solution alright. Buy more stuff instead of using something that actually works and not feeding my hard earned money to corporations who put out half assed products like iPhones without an in display fingerprint sensor like all the other brands do. Wait though, I know what you’ll say next: I’m cheap, I’m broke. Am I right? Right along the lines of “get my money up”. Because god knows anyone who puts any logical thought will be immediately hit with that stupid statement.
@@Cristalks2244 Judging by that book you just typed my statement could hold weight
I just got the new iPhone se for Christmas of 2020 because my original iPhone se had audio problems and the battery drained really fast and it’s a really good phone and a much better size for my hands
Watching from a 2014 iPhone SE. I love this phone and hope it lives on!
I got an iPhone SE 2020. Took it back and got an iPhone 11 for only $200 more. Best choice I ever made. My iPhone SE had a yellow screen, true tone turned off and everything it was still yellow. The phone was also lopsided when laying flat on a table and no it wasn't the camera getting in the way it was in a case. I put my old iPhone 8 in the same case and it was not lopsided. Yeah the iPhone SE is only $399, but the quality control sure shows. Spend $599 only $200 more and get a phone apple cares about with better quality control. If you keep your phones for 2 to 3 years that $200 quickly pays for itself and more. iPhone 11, bigger and better screen, better camera, more internal memory, better sound recording, better speakers. Just a way better phone.
I run the se and love it as mentioned the only potential issue is battery life but as my daily driver it’s as close to perfect as a phone has been for me. And yes I have the red one which looks so high end. I use mine for filming the local church services and with an external mic it looks and sounds broadcast quality
Coming from Pixel 3, the main downside of this phone is the camera. I've notice that if you take a photo of a person, it will take a longer time to take the shot, resulting in a blurry photo. In low light, indoors, the image is just bad.
If I didn’t already own an iPhone 8 I would be seriously considering the iPhone SE2! As you’ve rightly said at new the battery is ok for mediocre use. In fact I used to get almost 2 days on mine. Nowadays I have to charge mine twice a day. So a battery change will soon be required 🔋
In my opinion, the iPhone SE and iPhone XR have equal trade offs. With the SE you get longer support with A13 but don’t get Face ID and other such functions. The iPhone XR on the other hand has the A12 chip and probably won’t last as long in getting updates.
Watching this video from my 6S, which is basically an SE 2020 with a headphone jack and actual home button.
When it comes to the outside of the phones yes
A9 and a13 chip is a huge gap
I have one! It is my first iPhone and its infinitely better than any android phone I have ever used. (99% of the time) The small form factor is great because I have always hated using huge phones. I can easily text with one hand with this one and the 4 years of future support is nice.
Having gotten my mom an iPhone SE for Mother’s Day for 149.00 I think it is EXCEPTIONAL. She now has an iPhone with flagship INTERNALS at a REASONABLE price. Best phone EVER for the price. No way that can be argued.
The battery on my iPhone SE has degraded kinda quickly it’s about 84% its full Capacity and I got it May of 2020. I think it kinda depends how you use the SE.
That sucks, my iPhone SE 2020 battery is still at 97%
Going up $200 to an iPhone 11 is $900 here in Australia... hence why the iPhone se is more appealing to me
is the iPhone 12 Pro Max $2000 there or what
I have an iPad Pro 9.7” and a Motorola Moto G6 Plus, and I use them a ton. I’m definitely a heavy user, playing the likes of Call of Duty Mobile, Brew Town, Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery, and taking multiple photos, videos, uploading stuff to RUclips on occasion. I used my phone a ton, which has a Snapdragon 630 processor, 1080p display, and it got just below 5 hours and 30 minutes of screen on time at 1%. The fact that the iPhone SE in 2021 ships with a 5W charger and has worse battery life than this with a 720p and efficient chipset, and has a shockingly small battery, makes the iPhone SE an objectively questionable product to purchase. I understand if there are people who without question need an iPhone to continue using the subscription services they enjoy using currently, but for those who are on the fence at the moment, please take a look at Mrwhosetheboss’ iPhone battery drain test video and have a look at the battery life you could experience with medium to high usage. Social media, games, camera usage will give you at best 4 - 4 and half hours of screen on time, which in 2021 should not be acceptable. Please, if you must buy an iPhone, consider better alternatives that give you a much better experience that lasts longer. This is kinda why I appreciate the phones Motorola makes, because even though they sometimes downgrade to 720p displays, the endurance is a serious reason to consider them. We do not need the latest A series processors from Apple to enjoy our digital lives, because smartphones have now transcended the point of having major differences, we all have a fully working smartphone now, please don’t accept the scandalous business practices of Apple by buying an iPhone SE, it’s seriously not worth the money. Buy an iPhone XR or above if you must get an iPhone. Also, my phone gives me the option to have both a fingerprint sensor and face scanner. Touch ID is no longer a ‘generation defining’ feature, Android phones have caught up now with the speeds and generally offer both options for half the price. So please, keep an open mind of you can, and start considering how long you use your phone for. Battery life and features matter.
If you care about cameras or battery for that price buy the pixel 4a instead. But if you want water resistance, long support or great performance then the iPhone is better
Pixel phones will get support for a long time too
I’d rather have the SE than the XR because of A13 chip.
A12 is the same thing
@@Devreything no it’s faster and will get updates longer. Otherwise they would’ve just used the a12
@@9852323 A12 is the same speed at 13 and most likely they will have support for the same amount of time
A12 is not even slower than a13. Its even faster in certain ways
@@Devreything No it won’t won’t the a13 will certainly end after the a12 lol.
I’ve had this phone since last May and its the best decision I made in 2020. I changed from my iPhone 6 so I barely noticed the difference from the outside but from the inside .. it’s such a fast and powerful device. Photo quality is crisp and sound works great.
In a current world with travel restrictions, curfews and remote working, battery life is the least of my worries, since the longest I’m out of my house is a couple of hours lol.
Just got 2 free by switching to xfinity and both phones unlimited data is $88
Hope the phone runs good
I’m switching from 2 iPhone XR’s but they cost over $200 monthly. Saving a lot here
My iPhone SE is amazing and I love it
I agree with the battery life. I have had my SE since April of last year and I have really sensed the battery is not holding up. But I love this phone so much
I'm just waiting for the third stimulus check to afford it
I got the 11 back in 2020, instead of the se because I use the iPad mini 5 and the control centre is accessible from swiping down on the top right and the SE can’t do that, but my 11 can. So I don’t wanna get confused by that. And also because it’s bigger (obviously) than the SE
im never more than 2 hrs away from a charger. i dont want a bigger phone. i strongly prefer touch id. why am i giving extra dollars to apple for an 11 or a lol xr? goof
Cause their better phones……by alot
I might get one tomorrow or one day this week or next week, and I’m gonna keep it till I crack it! :D
I switched from iPhone 4S to SE (2020) and I am not disappointed at my choice. I don’t feel like I am using a cheap phone. On the basis of specs sheets, it is not that strong but when using it, it just feels so good using it. It might have LCD display, but the color accuracy and the view it provides, no LCD display phone can beat it. Camera wise; it demolishes iPhone XR in some areas, even if camera hardware of XR is better. And, when pictures are compared to iPhone 11 side by side, people will have difficulty to show which phone took which picture. And let’s not say this phone has some key feature in it which were introduced only with the release of iPhone 11. I’d anyone wants to buy it, I am 100% recommending this phone.
For a person that came from the iPhone 6 the iPhone SE (2020) is a great phone to have because of just everything my iPhone 6 didn't have a good battery life at only 79% and having also the 16GB of storage on the 6 made it more difficult so I looked at the iPhone se with a contract and it is 1000 times better than the 6 I had and you can also get it for free with a 2 year contract on basically any cellular data plan so really good phone for anyone like me.
I had both XR vs SE and owned for about a year each. XR was traded-in is heavier with frequent dropped calls. It does have excellent battery and internet connectivity. SE excellent connectivity calls/internet, light, faster, affordable, touchID, but agree about the small screen and poor battery. There are workarounds with IPad for media consumption and purchased a $40 battery juice pack (doubles weight) nearly tripling battery life that is greater than the 12 Pro Max. I believe the choice is simple, save the money for the more powerful, faster and lighter SE and prefer Touch ID is better for wearing a mask.
Had it since launch, traded in an old Iphone and got the SE for $250. It's been a awesome value buy for me. I use the phone for maybe 1.5 hours daily, so the battery easily makes it through the day for me. It's also the first phone I have owned that could do wireless charging, which I like.
The thing people over look with the battery is that this is a major upgrade anyone coming from an iPhone 6 or original SE. I told my co-worker to get the SE 2 from the SE 1 and it was such an upgrade for her. Her battery lasts her two days due to her use case and especially since she is in her early 40s. This phones market is different from us tech enthusiasts.
Just bought one almost 1 month XD, this is the best for me, i still feel it bigger. but is the smaller iPhone for the price, and more if you're looking for 128GB or more like me
My first phone was actually the first generation iPhone se but after 4 years I Finally upgraded to the second generation and it’s been doing great for me.
I can’t say enough good things about the iPhone SE, I love the finger print ID/The speed of the i13 processor/and takes better pictures than your Multi camera $1100 iPhones, depending on the carrier the price will vary… is this a good value, it’s an awesome value what more do you want? I love ❤️ my iPhone SE
It’s a good day when 91tech uploads
Got mine for $200 for Black Friday and it works great.
I’ve been using this second gen Iphone SE ever since May last year, and so far all is well, except for the battery, am now rocking at 89% of battery life.
I got the XR through my carrier for a very good price at $350 but I did consider the SE before then
Battery is a problem
I had the x but really didn’t like it. The screen was to big and overwhelming for me. I didn’t like the phone was just screen. I also found it an in general big phone that was a little heavy. So I bought the SE and I’m happy with it. It is indeed fast. I think I will keep this phone till a new SE will come out.
I have an iPhone SE 2021 and it’s better than the first generation iPhone SE.
Fantastic phone, very underrated
I don’t think it’s bright enough outdoors. I’ll be getting an OLED phone instead.
@@scotchwhisky6094 It is more than bright enough mate
just ordered one for 200 using as a business / work phone battery life isnt gonna matter since im mostly gonna use for text/ call and nothing else.. wanted iphone cause i message and facetime
I had it since it first came out I bought it without thinking twice because I really wanted touch ID during pandemic it easier than face ID I already had my 11 Pro Max but I still want a second phone that has shape like my 6S but get the latest chipset so here it is the iPhone SE 2020 is the best for everything except battery life! 🔋
I think you completely missed the point of the se.... Its supposed to be for the people who don't 2ant the newer models and want to stay updated on the software
Amazing video I love your reviews on iphones and ipads and many apple products and I love your iPhone SE 2 review. Actually amazing device,just look old.
Can you do video about: "will iPhone 6S,iPhone 6S Plus,iPhone SE 1 2016,iPad Air 2,iPad Mini 4 and iPad 5 9.7 2017 get iOS 15(and iPadOS 15)"?
Ordered an unlocked 2020 SE off of Back Market for $200(arrives tomorrow!). Currently using a 14 pro but sometime just feel like switching for funzies 🙃.
The iPhone SE 2nd gen is amazing
What's next Josh?
Galaxy S8, iPhone X, and hopefully some gaming console content. No particular order.
Ah ok
