I lost my 12, and my daughter gave me her old SE. I replaced the battery and it’s great. It goes for almost 3 days without recharging. I especially like that it fits in my pocket. The only drawback is how small the keyboard is, even if the phone is turned sideways. So I dictate messages a lot more. If I knew it had been treated as well as this one, I’d get another rather than pay a crap lot for a new phone.
@@BendaakI think we’ll be good for 2023. Maybe in 2024 apps will start to not support iOS 15. My iPad with iOS 12 is still usable though so it may last longer.
After using 3 androids I fell in love with iphones after this phone my family was in a difficult financial situation back then and they bought me this phone as a gift so i was very grateful with it i have so many good memories with this phone and overall it was a great phone after like 2 years i switched to an android again bcs higher specs and the price was a steal used that for another 2 years and now i switched to the Iphone 11 i absolutely love it
there’s something about the iPhones with buttons that I just love. they’re small, they’re lightweight, and they do simple tasks like calling/messaging, and searching the web. I would get an iPhone 2G, but i can’t really download any apps
like honestly, why are people aiming for phablets nowadays? seriously they're so big that they're starting to look goofy in our hands and pockets, it's harder to manage and work with. Apple and most companies just seem not to care about this niche.
I had this phone in a drawer. Powered up and it just updated! I was shocked. Like you said, who knows when OS16 comes out, but it still works and my 7th grader is thrilled with it.
I just bought a new iPhone SE 2022 my dad used to use this phone and it worked perfectly. All it needs is a new battery and charger port and it’s good to go
Yeah, although it can’t update to iOS 16, Apple is still doing security updates for iOS 15. Latest one was iOS 15.7.1 released October 2022 (at time of writing).
I only use my SE as an iPod touch but it’s unlocked. This is what I did to save battery life… - Keep storage at 70% filled or less. Mine is 33% filled. - Use Brave Browser over Safari. - Don’t use widgets even in the Today View. - Keep at low power mode at all times (see battery yellow). - If you update the software, do a fresh restore. - Location services off at all times. My battery life has gotten better doing all those but it’s still not great. But it doesn’t drain chunks at a time. Instead of 4%, more like 2%. Standby time went back to normal after a fresh restore. My SE’s battery health went from 99% to 92% after 17 months but iOS15 really killed it. I only use it for RUclips, light browsing, and screen recording nude scenes. Good phone. I like mixing and matching it with my foldable flip phones and Pixel 3 and Essential Phone which I’ve turned into my Dreamcast/PSP.
I still use this phone as a back up phone. Most functions work fine on this phone, however though, with the keyboard taking up too much space in the small screen makes some tasks really hard to perform. I changed the keyboard and the default browser now that it works much better and having a fingerprint scanner is a big plus that my other iphone doesn't.
I have still this phone. It's nice and small but problem is with battery. I have left 90% capacity. it's not so bad. But sometimes is dropping from 100% to 96% so it's dropping 4% at the same time. sometimes 2% at the same time. Don't know maybe is problem that i updated it to 15.7.2.
My aunt has this phone, lol. She’s had an old phone called a Pantech Ease, that one broke, she owned it for three years, then she was gifted a Samsung Brightside by her son. Now she owns the iPhone SE 2016 She still uses it in 2022 right now, she doesn’t wanna change it lol. It was a great phone not gonna lie!
I’m still using this phone it’s absolutely flawless I have a glowing apple logo mod and it’s jail broken on iOS 13 battery capacity is 83% but still very good around 5 Hrs sot
Love mine, but with only 16 gb, becoming less useful. Almost full just with ios loaded, not much room left for apps and photos. Time to upgrade to 2020 se I think
How long will this phone be usable for?, These are the best for laying on side one handed surfing, used to have one ages ago, still my favourite looking phone, design on these was apple at their peak.
I bought this phone new in 2016. In the days leading up to the last software update (15.7.2) the phone got buggy and had a spinning wheel next to the wifi symbol up top. The updated fixed it. However, the same thing is happening now but there is no update. It drains the battery. Also, be careful about dropping it. The glass on the back of mine is cracked. Since it's on the back, I didn't have to get it replaced- taped it up years ago. I don't use games. I don't want or need a big, expensive phone. I considered converting a phone to linux but there are no small phones to use with any of the distributions. (the other small phone I still use for youtube or whatever is the Galaxy Express but it has very little storage) Big Tech has us by the neck.
I lost my newest iphone and using my Iphone SE I updated my software to 15.7.5 and it works great. I am having trouble using the APP for a Dashcam I bought. So the THINKWARE app , is installed, but it leaves a message that freaks me out so I have not launched the THINKWARE APP. It says...If you launch this app Launch mobile APP will restrict recording and ADAS features Dash Cam settings. So I have to pull out the sd card and see all the recorded images on my computer. It would be nice to be able to use the app to see my car recording from my phone, while I am away from my car. Any info for me? Thanks
I’ve been looking online for the SE 1 there’s sales on them but I’ve always been on the defense on buying used phones online there’s always that chance to be taken for a ride and not get the phone you paid for.
You can buy them on back market they have a 1 year warranty and 30 day returns. I got mine on eBay for $60 and it’s the 128gb. Keep looking and you’ll find a deal.
I have bought a second-hand Iphone se 2016, I use it as my secondary phone to make and receive calls and i am happy with it. it is so small and fits my pocket and hand perfectly. also the design is eye-catching
Okay iOS 16 won't run on the OG iPhone SE... so it will be a deal breaker for me in the near future. But then, it's still my favourite tiny phone, even the iPhone 12 mini or the iPhone SE 2020 & 2022 are still big ass phones compared to this tiny baby. In my opinion, it's still worth it for the next 6-7 months, or until the support for the latest version of popular apps will die off eventually.
I had the 12 mini last year before selling it to get a Razr 5G. The 12 mini is compact but it is awkward because it’s still hard to reach each corner. SE1 is still better for one-handed use.
the 12 mini isnt that much bigger than the se1 i have both and they are both perfect small phones. this as small as they will ever be forever most likley lol
I use a zflip 3 as one of my main phones. I had my iPhone 13 mini stolen. I used to have the SE in rose gold. That was a great tiny phone. It felt great in the pockets.
@@johnzoid74 To avoid being cut out from various apps (and before they decide to drop the support with iOs 16) I have just updated my 2016 iPhone SE from iOs 11 to iOs 15.6 and so far it works great.

I still use my one. It's the 128gb model. I like the finger print scanner. I use it for my 1st gen SE and my note 9 and iPad Air 4. For my 12 mini I just use the 4 combo numeric code because I'm not a fan of face recognition.
@@Arma-Dinlo you could have changed the battery. I replaced mine and also use a battery case so I have over 12 hours of screen on time, lol. I’ll update next year or just use my iPhone 8 which will still be okay.
It's ok if you don't use the internet a lot. The screen is just too small to watch RUclips or do anything on the Net. I use an iPhone X daily, so my 2016 SE is just tiny in comparison.
I have two se models the one in uk variant and another a usa model, uk variant’s battery works like a charm even after 4 years of usage and the usa variant i got that one couple of months ago that one is 128 gigs so i like that one but on that model battery is a bitch only gives 2 hours of screen on time even though battery health is 86perc i dont know what the problem is
@@SlipScope yes it does have a different model number , i dont know if i should replace the battery even though 86 health is not bad considering my uk variant has 82 still gives me a full day on it

Hi Johnzoid❤I currently use an Android but I once was an iPhone user. I kinda miss some of my favorite jailbreak tweaks and want a phone just to have fun with jailbreak. I just found a good condition 1st gen SE 16GB variant for around 50USD. Should I buy it? :)
@@animatingstudio3146 Did you buy it? I'm in a similar situation, I use an android but I need to take it to the warranty, I want to buy the 1st gen SE as a temporary replacement for 50EUR, also 16gb and also in good condition, would you recommend it?
@@lukaz4201 No, I didn't buy it yet, but I might buy it little bit later. I mean 50 bucks isn't that much for a phone that still supports the latest version of iOS and if you really need it, buy it:)
@@animatingstudio3146 I already bought it 2 days ago (writing from it😉) if you're planning to buy it, it's great, but use it only for social media etc. But absolutely not for games, the battery will die out very quickly, but only using simple apps like RUclips and instagram it lasts the whole day even with long usage 😄 I use it on latest iOS and it's running great, for 50 bucks it's absolutely amazing
I have this phone, still running IOS 12.1.4. People always ask me why my phone is so small, I just tell them "This is the proper size of an iPhone as designed by Steve Jobs. I have a iPhone, you have an aircraft carrier."
Used to use one of these and thinking of reviewing it in 2022 myself to get back in to the habit of making videos. Definitely get what you mean about taking it to the gym compared to much newer phones it feels like a feather. If you don’t mind saying I’m just wondering what your average view duration is on this video?
@@johnzoid74 i have the 12 pro id like to try a mini at somepoint. dont think id use it as my main phone though unless they added the additional camera. Thanks for sharing mines around 2 minutes as well i always stuggle to get it any higher
@@oren that's good to know.. yeah I record all my vids on a phone. Usually not my primary device though. Yeah no problem- thanks for asking. My view time ranges. Some videos over 40%. I'll be uploading more often to get some better data tho
Unfortunately they have atrocious battery otherwise I'd still be using it, right now it serves me as messenger videocall device, the call quality is actually better than on my Poco F3.
Hey Lucas goof question! That is an ultraviolet light that cannot be seen with the blind eye- only camera will pick it up. I think it's the proximity sensor. If you have a 2nd phone- record your device similar to my video, and play it back. You will see the same light :)
My iPhone SE 1st gen will not upgrade to iOS 16, but I only intend to use it for phone calls, photos, emails, and text. Due to security vulnerabilities, I no longer make purchases on it, and noticed that there are a couple of apps that cannot be upgraded. Your thoughts?
I mean if you don't really care about that home button you can go for an iphone 13 mini, they are quite cheap ( at least in my country i managed to find one for only 140$ ), they are also powerfull and they will still receive software updates for a few more years so you wont have to worry about that
got an iphone 5 that I have been using every day since i got it as my first smart phone i in 2014 for ~50$ 2nd hand. its finally to the point where just about nothing works to be functional anymore thanks to apple. I got a locked imei iphone 5s for ~5$ and a really beat up smashed screen SE for ~15$. swapped all the components and hopefully this new phone lasts me another 10 years... probably not lol
Thanks for this video. I found a brand new unlocked 128gb. This SE is looking pretty good. I am trying to use my cell phone less, no socials, no gaming. I’m a super low key user. Plus I miss old phones plus I have an old iPhone 5s otterbox case.

@@animatingstudio3146 I already bought it 2 days ago (writing from it😉) if you're planning to buy it, it's great, but use it only for social media etc. But absolutely not for games, the battery will die out very quickly, but only using simple apps like RUclips and instagram it lasts the whole day even with long usage 😄 I use it on latest iOS and it's running great, for 50 bucks it's absolutely amazing
I have this same iPhone it works great it runs iOS 15
Also who uses this phone in 2024
@@Tjgooze On system 15 it is very slow
I have this phone, still running IOS 12.1.4.
People always ask me why my phone is so small, I just tell them "This is the proper size of an iPhone as designed by Steve Jobs. I have a iPhone, you have an aircraft carrier."
As long as I can call and send messages it's good for me
Used to use one of these and thinking of reviewing it in 2022 myself to get back in to the habit of making videos. Definitely get what you mean about taking it to the gym compared to much newer phones it feels like a feather. If you don’t mind saying I’m just wondering what your average view duration is on this video?
yeah its a cool phone. Got me thinking of using the 12 or 13 Mini. I just looked at average watch time is 2:03, or 38%
@@johnzoid74 i have the 12 pro id like to try a mini at somepoint. dont think id use it as my main phone though unless they added the additional camera. Thanks for sharing mines around 2 minutes as well i always stuggle to get it any higher
@@oren that's good to know.. yeah I record all my vids on a phone. Usually not my primary device though. Yeah no problem- thanks for asking. My view time ranges. Some videos over 40%. I'll be uploading more often to get some better data tho
Still using this phone and watching this video on it lmao
that’s so cool! Glad you can still use it just fine
I’m watching this video on the SE
Nice man!!!
Watching this video on iPhone se 1st gen😂
Looking at your review? Bro you will be very successful. inshaAllah.
One sub coming up.
screw it im buying this as a secondary phone just bc of how much i love the size
have fun ☺️
Does dark mode work on this?
I’ve never tried but probably yes
Yes it does. I own one.
Unfortunately they have atrocious battery otherwise I'd still be using it, right now it serves me as messenger videocall device, the call quality is actually better than on my Poco F3.
I use iphone 2016 but why your ipse have blink light? And why I don’t have?
Hey Lucas goof question! That is an ultraviolet light that cannot be seen with the blind eye- only camera will pick it up. I think it's the proximity sensor. If you have a 2nd phone- record your device similar to my video, and play it back. You will see the same light :)
@@johnzoid74 ahhh isee
Yes!!
Well I’m put iOS 13.5 so I can jailbreak it
My iPhone SE 1st gen will not upgrade to iOS 16, but I only intend to use it for phone calls, photos, emails, and text. Due to security vulnerabilities, I no longer make purchases on it, and noticed that there are a couple of apps that cannot be upgraded. Your thoughts?
It's a good thing he got 15 bases.
I mean if you don't really care about that home button you can go for an iphone 13 mini, they are quite cheap ( at least in my country i managed to find one for only 140$ ), they are also powerfull and they will still receive software updates for a few more years so you wont have to worry about that
What's your country
$140 won't get you an xs
How's the battery performance??
@Dhruv Being a small phone, it has a small battery. Battery life is not the greatest, but if you just use it as a phone and texting, it's acceptable.
What’s your daily driver? (Never mind just for to that part in the video)
Yeah the note10+ 🤘🤘🤘
@@johnzoid74 Nah iPhone on top
@Purified Water II I think Nintendo should make a phone I would buy
Can I ask is it hard to play games on this small screen
Not too hard
2nd generation I’m using
Does call of duty work smoothly in this phone?
Does it work???
I love this phone.. But have problem with battery that drain so fast.. And getting very hot while talking..
LOL this phone is a dream for me
Does Facebook App still runs well?
Is it still possible to buy in 2022 and from where and is there a new one?
Yes you can buy in 2022. Amazon or Ebay is best. I have put link in description to buy on Amazon
Is it suitable as a basic phone?
@@user-dc9nu6zq4y absolutely
thanks 😊
The problem is that I live in Egypt and have never ordered anything from Amazon before
If you bought it right now you could probably get another year and a half use out of it ,
oh yeah 100% at a minimum
got an iphone 5 that I have been using every day since i got it as my first smart phone i in 2014 for ~50$ 2nd hand.
its finally to the point where just about nothing works to be functional anymore thanks to apple. I got a locked imei iphone 5s for ~5$ and a really beat up smashed screen SE for ~15$. swapped all the components and hopefully this new phone lasts me another 10 years... probably not lol
Got mine for $60 new in box and spent 40 on a battery replacement so for $100 not a bad little phone
I found an iPhone 5s at this price and 16GB too it's crazy
Bro is this phone worth buying for gaming cod PUBG and free fire
And starting a gaming channel on it
@@BG_2k At least take the iPhone XS, it will have better performance + a very small screen that is not suitable for games like PUBG
@@farisalhusain7079 kk
I can’t even find one brand new it’s crazy af
Could you make a game play video of you playing Roblox id love to see how it works on this iPhone
sure ☺️
Ngl i had this phone in high school my sophomore year 😭 .. she was worth it
crazy how my iPad, iPhone and Apple Watch have the same amount of storage (32GB)
i use this phone as my gaming phone all in one phone i mean, even se 2 se 3 is better but yea' i like the size and style of iphone5 5c 5s SE1
Is it worth as a first iphone
this video is a bit old now. but it might work as like a coffee table phone. sadly it will no longer update.
Right now I am 13 so any suggestions for any first iphone
@@ABUBAKAR_OFFICIAL575 iphone Xr
as a kid, i think the se is good for my little eensy racoon fingers
very nice
Thanks for this video. I found a brand new unlocked 128gb. This SE is looking pretty good. I am trying to use my cell phone less, no socials, no gaming. I’m a super low key user. Plus I miss old phones plus I have an old iPhone 5s otterbox case.
Where to get its panel I need it a lot
😢😢
I'm from Pakistan 😢😢
The 2016 iPhone SE is still kind of worth it in 2024.
