Apple iPhone SE Specs

This phone is 4 years old and still get software updates. It’s still snappy and fast. I use it a lot. Small fits in 1 hand and easy to use. Screen quality is still good in 2020. I love the form factor (build quality) of this little phone. Makes a good backup phone or nice for a high school teenager.

I'll start out this review by giving a small perhaps insignificant disclaimer: I'm neither a fan of iOS/Apple nor Android/Google.

This phone works amazing in some cases and in the most important cases it dies. That last part might seem odd to read at first and I'll get to that but first the pros because in my experience there are more cons.

This phone works amazing as stated before, it's fast, responsive and does all the tasks you want a smart gizmo to do without it slowing down. Apps usually work as they should without issues.

Now for the cons... The biggest con the phone has is the battery. The battery indicates its percentage improperly much of the time (i.e. plug it in to charge it and if it reads 40% and I unplug it it might say 30% or 50%, plug it in again and it could stay or show a different number) and if that's excusable to you, fine - you are a very tolerant person, what's inexcusable in every way is how the phone shuts off in cold weather and I mean even if it's just a little cold. This phone will not work properly in cold weather.

Updated review: April 14, 2020

Around February I replaced the battery to this phone and now it works like new. I looked at the battery tab last night and it reports I get an average of 6 hours screen on time from some web browsing and instant messaging and the occasional music listening.

The phone works great now. I am astonished that a smartphone with only a dual core can perform so well when other phones have quad cores or even octo cores.

My regret is getting a 32GB model when I should have gotten at least a 64GB model and my only concern is when I'll be needing to replace its battery again. I have heard and read in countless places how small a lifespan iPhone batteries have.

Not too bad small phone but for the price almost everything is bad catastrophy of a phone if you play games or text or watch something or take pictures so literally almlst useless and apple slapped huge price like a cherry on top noice
