    Wanted to upgrade form my Iphone 5s for more memory. This was my only option to stay in a small size Iphone. Phone works great and has tons of memory. Listen up Apple, build new small size Iphones if you want to keep us.

    I bought the iPhone SE 128 gig version at Bestbuy and I couldn't be happier! I wanted something smaller to fit in my pocket and this phone is perfect. Has just about everything the other iPhones have and a HEADPHONE JACK! Took a little to get used to typing on again but now it's a breeze! Bestbuy service is unmatched ! They help with setups and will have you walking out the door with your new iphone SE ready to use ! Great store , great people, great service .

    I upgraded top the latest Iphone 7 model from an Iphone 5s. I wanted to love the 7 but the size, weight and overall feel was just not what I want from a cell. I love this SE. Features, size, weight, feel is just what I was missing. Works flawlessly.

    It is a good idea that "good thing come in small pack". Like most more reviews, most the the hardware specs is the similar to the 6s. However, ther are suttle features on the camera that's different. The phone run smoothly with 2GB ram and A9 processor. iOS is fine, even playing Pokemon and other apps, it doesn't lag. I use mostly Android products, however, I have iPad pro. I thought it would time to switch. However, I found that Apps store too too much restriction on app. Even the apps are available on both Android and Apple, the contends are different. I would rate it for 4 stars if not for the price. For 400, I don't think it worth it based on today tech. It is hard to justify There were deals that it is below 200 for 128GB. If that's MSRP, this phone is 5 stars for sure.

    IMy IPhone 5s broke, and I was so worried that I was going to have to get the larger IPhone 6 but saw this ( which is an IPhone 6 in an IPhone 5 size). Better camera, larger memory! Couldn't be more perfect!

    I really love the iPhone se. It's a powerful little phone that has a lot of memory which is great for Live Photos. The battery lasts me all day most of the time. Great phone overall if you get the ones with more memory.

    I've had a 5s phone for three+ years and it served me well. Lately the charging was inconsistent so I began looking for a new model. Since I was satisfied with the size and features of the 5s, I decided to buy the SE model.its great having a number of new features like the 128gb memory, ApplePay and great camera. The price was right at BestBuy.

    Question the reception

    No one else makes a small smart phone that doesn't stick out of a woman's pocket. That made a difference for me. We use a network extender and the reception has been worse than the iPhone 5. Getting a newer one to see if it makes a difference.

    I prefer smaller smartphones, and the iPhone 5 is a great size -- so the fact that the SE has the body of the 5 but the internals of the 6 is a great compromise of size and power. The battery life is incredible -- I'm not a power user, but with light to moderate activity, the phone easily lasts 70+ hours (standby, 7-8 hours usage).

    I got the iPhone SE for my sister, who told me small phones were better (as female pockets are apparently super small/nonexistent). It’s got great speed, no lag, love the camera. It’s everything that’s good about the iPhone 6s in a smaller case.

    I like the smaller smartphones that can easily fit in the pocket. The SE came after the 6 so it is a great phone with an excellent camera.

    I had an iPhone 6 and the phone worked great but I did not like the bulky size. Switched to the SE and it is the perfect size and out performs iPhone 6.

    I have three teens that are getting pulled in all directions and I needed a phone that I could keep track of them. These IPhone SE's were perfect and affordable at Bestbuy. I got three. The 128gb was $15 a month and all my iTunes purchases can be shared. Their last phone was a cheap Samsung CorePrime phone -$10month 16gb and I could never hear them and it was always dead. These iPhones are perfect for them.
