You can't beat the handfeel of a smaller phone. The SE's battery life is shockingly great. There's plenty of power
Plenty of camera inside this body
A smaller
Lighter iPhone. Reasonably priced. Users with smaller hands should find it easy to use. Familiar 5s design is still an attractive winner. Upgraded internals (A9

Front-facing camera isn't great
No 3D Touch
The 4-inch screen is hard to go back to
Storage maxes out at 64GB while the bigger models offer 128GB
Display isn't as high-quality as the ones in the 6 and 6S
Small screen can feel cramped when typing or trying to edit video or images
Missing a couple of 6S features

Unimpressive display
Looks identical to the iPhone 5S

Where to buy
Before you buy a new iPhone SE
See AppleInsider's comprehensive trade-in guide to find out where you can get
3D Touch
Lacklustre front-facing camera
Battery life could be better
No 128GB version
Scuffs easily
Some website and app designs are leaving small screens behind. The SE is no movie screen
And it's sure not VR friendly. Your selfies will look worse
And your touches will be less 3D
Smaller phone means smaller display. Not introducing any new technology. No 128GB option
And we wouldn't recommend the base 16GB option to anyone at this point. No 3D Touch. Outdated FaceTime camera. Onscreen keyboard harder to use for those with larger
Big bezels
Lacks 5G
No Night mode
Shorter battery life than other iPhones
Older giant-bezel design and limited screen size are love-it-or-hate-it. Hardware hasn't changed since its 2016 debut
SubHD resolution screen a bit disappointing in 2016
