So many positive comments on this one. I bought one last year but the battery died completely a week later and I can't blame the seller. It's been staying on my drawer as I was wondering why did I waste £60 on this old thing. With these comments in mind, though, I might get the battery replaced after all. I've never had an iphone before but this is the best looking phone in general imo.
I use it as my main phone. I have to say, he's not bad at all. And its size is perfect for one-handed use. Updated: guys, I haven't used iPhone SE for a long time, I bought myself an iPhone XS
Ergonomic it’s everything in day to day use and this phone was well designed. So it did not easily slip from the hand and yep easy to type one hand with just your thumb.
@@j_james_01 Actually not a terrible phone as even 6 years later mine still works and I still use it as a backup. Still haven't replaced the battery yet too. Also got an update last month and parts for it are easy to buy and also easy to repair by yourself. It's also good to carry on formal function as it is very small and lightweight.
It’s my daily as well. Fast, runs cool and small. Get the battery replaced! Also noticed a voicemail glitch on Verizon. Solved by replacing 5G SIM with 4G-Only Verizon SIM.
@@ralphwiggum874 If I just check my notifications yes it usually lasts. Or else if I have some photos to take or music to play I usually get a power bank with me. Also my battery health is at 75%
iPhone 12 and I almost always carry a charger with me or I have anxiety attacks. My phone lasts a few hours of constant use and I need it on for the 16 hours that I’m up in a day (maybe 12 screen hours) I charge it from under 20% to 100% at least 3 times a day if I’m near a charger. It really doesn’t last long. Ofc I can use it fleetingly and make it last a day but a phone is not just for phone calls. (I’m writing this because the guy mentioned that he is not accustomed to having to charge modern iPhones during the day)
I had one before swapping it for an iphone 8. It was a pretty good phone honestly. But the camera app and a few other apps would black screen for a few minutes before opening. It was weird and I thought it to be a glitch the first few times. Then it began happening everytime I opened the camera app. I absolutely loved the pocketability of the phone. I’d sometimes forget it was in my pocket. When I moved to the iphone 8, I appreciated the larger screen but I did really love that small form factor.
I had an iPhone 5 about 4 years ago as my daily, I was so comfortable with the small screen but when I got an iPhone 11 and I tried using an iPhone 5 and also my 6th gen iPod touch it felt weird and hard to use. The iPhone SE 1st gen is still a good phone to use, and it’s the only iPhone with a 4 inch screen that can still be used in the US with cellular since it has VoLTE unlike the iPhone 5,5c, and 5s
I only got rid of mine in mid 2024. Had replaced the battery of course. Loved that phone. Fits anywhere, has mini-jack for auudio. I would still be using it but some web pages won't load properly: you can't click on buttons that are somewhere off the edge of your screen. I keep it around for photos and audio and other stuff.
I have the SE3 and I absolutely LOVE IT my battery charges to 100% in 25 mins and lasts all day it is a mixture between an older but still new modern look with IOS17.1 and the same chip that powers the iPhone 14 and 13 I love this phone and I couldn’t be happier
I’m still using a 2016 iPhone 8. I’ve never broken the screen and only replaced the battery for good measure. Otherwise, everything works fine and updates and supports everything as far as I need. It’s not too big or heavy and internet, LTE or wifi it’s still fast. Faster then my gf’s newer Android and my friends newer phones as well. It may not scan my retina have a super camera lens or clean the litter box but it’s a survivor. I rarely shut it off either, my screen time report averages over 23.5 hours daily. I have something talking to help me sleep and wake, I have magnet set ups for holders where needed 😁
I got one used with a new battery a month ago and it's amazing honestly. Would leave my pixel at home if the SE supported eSIM, if I want to use it outside then I need to have another phone sharing a hotspot which is a bit annoying. Use it as an 128GB iPod, has most of my music library which saves lots of space on my main phone.
@@SnowyTheMoroccanCat_ eSIM. Not a regular SIM card. Yes the SE can be a hotspot but it cannot use eSIMs, which was my point and makes it hard to use with modern carriers where you don't get a physical card anymore
this was my very first smartphone and good god i can confidently say i dont miss that thing. it was an amazing quality phone for the price but i have a 14 pro max now and i genuinely dont think i could go back from a pro model
This thing would be perfect with an edge-to-edge oled screen and updated processor. I’d definitely have one as my main phone. I’m using a 13 mini for 1 year now.
Switched from iPhone 11 back to this and its amazing! Not slow at all! Size is just a joy! It’s like a phone-fidget, always want to keep it in my hands. Totally best iPhone ever. Apple, make the same one and the same body but with an edge to edge screen.
Perfect phone for detoxing. I bought one as a secondary phone to use as an iPod and a point and shoot camera. With less stuff to handle, the battery life is almost decent.
I literally have an iPhone 14 and I’m using the SE significantly more, I replaced the battery and get solid screen time, even got a battery that has a supposedly increased capacity
i actually used this in 2023 too when i sold my iPhone 8 Plus,,, if it wasn’t for the poor battery life and only 16GB , it would be actually so useful today
Size is the only thing I loved about this phone. The fingerprint scanner is unreliable. Text size is too small and really hard for me to see. But yes. Love the look of it and it still works.
I wish the 12 mini (used) was cheaper that way I could use magsafe battery bank since i am a some what heavy user yet still like the smol form factor or that apple would release a mini model every couple years
I used to own a phone like this, but my screen was coming off and at times it charged like crap (because my sister would always take my charger) then one day it just became done.
I use the original IPhone SE as my phone when I go to work. All apps that I use still works. I like small phone, unfortunately I didn’t find an functional small Android phone P.S: I’m using that right now.
I love my SE 1st gen, great little phone. Price wise it was affordable. Long live the 1st gen SE you’ll never be forgotten. 🫡 deffo one of my favourite model of iPhone phones.
I got a rose se on ebay only like 25 it updated to 15.8.1 lightning fast like 90 seconds the 2 iphones 6s takes few hours which i still couldnt complete update i changed battery on Se and now its 100%health im going to use it as a camping or fishing phone its fast light and small so i can keep in small case somehow these are better than the iphone 6s ...its basically like a 7 internally but with a iphone 5 size
I was using iPhone SE right now, but I think if you already know how to type it won’t be a matter while typing the words just a bit small. Everything is ok

Your phone was probably malfunctioning or it could even be fake.
