We think most users will have a love-it-or-hate-it reaction to the iPhone SE -either you prefer the smaller 4-inch screen size, or you're willing to sacrifice one-handed use for a bigger and more impressive display on the iPhone 6s.

Speedy A9 CPU and high-quality 12MP camera are high-end; The iPhone 5s design never went out of style; Ultra-long battery life in a compact size; Plenty of cases and accessories designed for 5/5s still fit; Starting price of $399 is outstanding

No 128GB storage option; Slower Touch ID; lower-res FaceTime camera; and no 3D Touch; Screen isn't as bright or crisp as iPhone 6s

This is a fantastic upgrade for those with an iPhone 8 or older, and you will notice big changes, and a lot of familiarities, in the switch. It’s also just a downright excellent buy if you want a phone that’ll perform fast and take excellent pictures for years to come.

At $399/£419 this is an excellent buy; Flagship performance should keep this speedy for years; Great photos in daylight situations; Impressive video capabilities; Offers a strong proposition for those who don’t want big phones

Battery life is far from excellent; A new design would’ve been welcome

Anyone who calls the iPhone SE a spare parts store is not wrong. Dressed in the iPhone 8 garb, looking through the glasses of the iPhone XR and doing its work with the heart of the iPhone 11, Apple has rummaged deep in its toolbox and created a powerful iPhone mix that combines not the best, but the...

Powerful processor; Home Button; Bokeh effects for both cameras; Low price

Aged LCD display; Average Portrait Mode; Poor audio; No expandable storage

This clearly isn’t Apple’s absolute best iPhone, but it’s the best choice for many millions of users. It is Apple's least interesting iPhone in years, and simultaneously, perhaps, the most important.

Starts at just $399; The A13 is faster than any other mobile processor; Great photos and video in good light

No telephoto or ultrawide camera; Battery life is just okay; No Night Mode or Deep Fusion

Back in the spring of 2016 — March 31, to be specific — the original iPhone SE launched. It was a callback to the four-inch iPhone many of us loved but couldn't upgrade to for more than two years.

Apple iPhone SE 2020 is the latest smartphone from Apple . The device stands in-between the iPhone 11 of 2019 and the iPhone 8 of 2017 . First, it comes in the body of iPhone 8, but has the powerful CPU used in the iPhone 11 . So the screen is a 4.7-inch display with 750 x 1334 pixels resolution.

I previously had an iPhone 5s, this, the SE is:

A couple of years ago the Apple iPhone X restored my joy in smartphones and a lot of that had to do with the small size and extremely responsive performance of the phone. I went through the iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR before choosing to stick with the iPhone XS and then moved onto the iPhone 11 Pro.

High end processor; Low price; Small size for the masses; Solid battery life; Wireless charging; Capable rear and front cameras; Touch ID front sensor; $50 charge for reasonable internal storage

Large top bezel

This is my first smart phone! I've waited many years to indulge in an iPhone, but they started getting bigger and bigger, which I thought was silly. It's a phone, right Not a tablet So, I jumped on this model and couldn't be happier.

Glad I got the iPhone SE before they were out of stock. Still love the compact form factor & feels solid in the hand (with a case of course). Same processor and camera as the 6S. And most important... better battery life than the 6, 6S, 7, and 8.
