Well-built with a great camera and fantastic battery life, the iPhone SE (2016) was once the small phone to buy

Great performance, Great battery life, Gorgeous build quality

Touch ID is slower than on the latest iPhones, No 3D Touch

The iPhone SE may be small, but it's proved to be one of Apple's most powerful handsets. The 4in screen will be too big a down-size for many, but those in the market for a pint-sized, affordable smartphone will struggle to find anything better.

Great performance, premium design, latest version of iOS, decent display, surprisingly good battery life, market-leading camera.

Poor front-facing camera, 16GB storage option

It’s excellent not just for the low price, but for the ease of use and understanding. Apple phones are the best you can buy and this model does not disappoint. The camera is amazing. The speed is very fast. It’s easy to charge. Excellent.

Perfect for my needs I’ve had more advanced I phones but prefer this one lovely camera easy to operate and a decent comfortable size.my years are advancing and I like the simplicity of this model

That’s right you read that correctly, the SE is my first ever iPhone and it was a pretty good decision to make. I’m not he biggest fan of big phones so the idea of a smaller iPhone with some big power I was intrigued. The iPhone SE doesn’t disappoint.

The iPhone SE is a compact iPhone 6s for sensible money – if you're in the market for an affordable Apple phone, it's ideal

The Apple iPhone SE gives you the power of the latest iPhone 6s in the compact and stylish body of the iPhone 5s! It's a winning combination, and the fact that this is the most affordable iPhone for years makes it a top buy.

The mini iPhone may be getting on a bit, but don’t count it out...

One of the only 4in phones available; Lengthy battery life; Still attractive; Fast

Screen feels outdated and disappointing; Lacking advanced camera features

Apple’s budget iPhone delivers a satisfying and slick smartphone experience at an attractive price Excellent build quality Colourful, detailed screen Musical sound Camera not great in low light Battery life could be better

While it may lack the design clout of more recent iPhones and is missing creature comforts such as an OLED display and Face ID, the iPhone SE 2020 is world-class in almost every other regard, and the fact that it can be purchased for £400 is nothing less than amazing.
