A phone that just works. A camera that is great for casual use, an A15 processor that will keep this phone running for 4, 6 , or even 8 years down the line. The display is lack luster but for the price it’s hard to expect much more. The battery has been improved by 2 hours in comparison to the 2nd generation SE. Overall, I love the unit and think that this phone is a great value. With an AMOLED or a night vision camera I would have given this 5/5.

It's a great little phone. I got this for my senior citizen mother and it's perfect for her. It still has the home button which is easier for older people to handle. It's a smaller size which is good for her because she was always dropping her bigger phone which is why we needed this one lol It does pretty much everything the more expensive iphones do at a fraction of the cost. If you don't need all of the bells and whistles of a $1000 phone then this one is perfect.

I noticed right away - the sound on this phone is very high quality, like a person is in your room. HDMI TV connection dongle works perfectly. After setup, battery lasts a full day.
But, hot spot is quite unstable and required resets and multiple log ins. Much worse compare to my old Android. Absolutely no increase in data speed with 5G capacity.

Being non tech savvy and 78, setting up my new IPhone was pretty easy. Setting up fingerprint on some apps took me a couple extra try’s, but all good! Screen size took a little getting used to, takes nice pictures and battery seems to be great. Happy with a good affordable Apple iPhone.

Upgraded my iPhone8. Didn't need it to be full screen as the iPhone X and higher have. Still shows the black out area on the top and bottom. Have the home button which I like and not have to do facial recognition or enter passcode. Trade in was great and cost was minimal and get a faster phone and larger storage.

I like the size of it. Didn’t want another huge phone. Screen is nice and clear. Has everything most people could want. However, it’s very fragile and you definitely need a good case. Also, the battery was shot after 1.5 years. Apple seems to be up to their old tricks with planned obsolescence.

If you want an Iphone and everything that makes an Iphone great you will get it here. Don't expect the super high resolutions from the higher end models or the cameras. If those things don't bother you, it's a great phone. Phenomenal battery life, the processor is extremely fast. It's a very nice "budget" Iphone.

Great little phone for my mom coming from an iPhone 8. Snappier, more responsive & product red looks better than I thought it would. Mom likes it better than her iPhone 8, all that matters.
