Apple - iPhone SE (2nd generation) 64GB (AT&T)

I love this phone! Only upgrading from my iPhone 6 because the battery was not up to snuff. So impressed with the battery in my new phone - plus, the SE has all the great features of the iPhone 11 but (I hate big phones) is the same size as my old 6!!! That’s a win!

I got this phone for my son, and it is just perfect for all he needs. Thanks Best Buy and Apple!

If you are looking for a good phone and do not want to spend $1,000. This phone is for you. If you don’t mind that it does not have Face ID. This is a great phone. I have been using it for a week. When I handle it, it feels I went back a few versions, but it is very fast and takes good quality pictures. If you own AirPods and Apple Watch that is all you need to feel like this is a great deal. I paid 400 - 50 gift card from Best Buy. This is what I paid for the original iPhone in 2007.

It's what you expect of the iPhone. It was no different than the i5 I hod, other than it's a bit bigger, quicker, and definitely redder. The cost was good at $399, and Best Buy's agent was great!

I love that this phone has the home button and fingerprint reader, especially now that face recognition is a bust with masks during the pandemic. It is small and slender and is really quick at processing; the camera isn't phenomenal, but I use this phone for work so I don't need a camera. The screen is small and it took me time to adjust since I've had the iPhone 11 for personal use with a much bigger screen. If you are looking for an affordable iPhone and you are ok with a basic camera and love the home button, this is the phone for you.

I need a reliable device with decent battery life. I was a little worried the first two weeks because a 6 hour charge wasn’t doing it. But the SE “learned” my habits and this week started topping off the charge in the early morning while I was still asleep. No midday charges now. Hopefully that will give longer battery life. This SE seems somewhat faster than the 3 year old 7 I was using. Seems to process updates faster after downloads are complete. That may be hopeful thinking on my part, no hard data. Screen is very sharp and clear, I’m in late 60’s but 20/20 with reading glasses.

The transition from a 6 to an 11 was easy. The two operate pretty much the same. There are new improvements to learn but I’m not there yet. When I came home, I could not pair my watch. This must be a common problem as there are several You Tube instructions for this seeming common problem. I’ll go back to sales rep to get a fix. His sales assistance was second to none and I trust his technical talent to make the fix. I will reiterate my disdain for Best Buy terrible telephone service. I cannot get beyond an answering with “select a number” choices ... only to be put on hold indefinitely. This is a common occurrence and is terribly frustrating. The phone is fine. Best Buy tx availability is horrendous!

I was totally satisfied with my 6s but couldn't find a replacement battery for it. I didn't want to lose the home button which isn't available on the newer phones so I put off buying a new phone as long as I could. I almost got the 11 even though there's no home button but the screen is larger. I don't do a lot on my phone so I really couldn't justify the extra cost. I'm so happy that I decided to get the iPhone SE because it's like having a new 6s with updates. Thank you Apple for doing this!
