  • 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

  • And no 3D Touch
  • Screen isn't as bright or crisp as iPhone 6s
  • 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 Outdated FaceTime camera.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
  • Starts with only 16GB of storage
  • Lacks a few iPhones 6S features
  • Design not updated from iPhone 5s
  • Old design is old and not ergonomic

  • Apple has had a relapse. Cupertino when we thought they had already passed and they understood that in telephony, size matters, go and return us to offer a mobile 4 inches. Yes, last year sold millions of iPhones with the same screen size and is also mobi...

  • It is refreshing to see a mobile phone manufacturer making a smaller version of their flagship phone that hasn't had all of the new tech and innovations stripped away in the process. Consumers will not get to experience 3D Touch, but for those who want t...

  • Compact design, iPhone 6S power, Affordable price point
  • No 3D Touch, Screen still low res, Front cam still 1.2MP
  • With the iPhone SE, Apple's fixed a big problem: price. Given the internals on offer here, this would have been close to a perfect phone if it weren't for a few glaring omissions.Firstly, we needed a new design for this to be seen as the next step in the...

  • Small screen with powerful spec, Strong camera, Good battery life,
  • Contrast could be better, Audio lacks in dynamics and subtlety,
  • The iPhone SE may seem like the best value iPhone we've ever seen, but that doesn't mean it comes without compromises.From an audio perspective, it is beaten by its pricier sibling and that 4in screen isn't going to be for everyone either. But this is aim...

  • Abstract:  I'm one of PCMag's phone experts, and also a parent, so I've thought a lot about kids and phones. Mobile phones are useful, powerful, and helpful. They're also expensive, distracting, and a potential gateway to a lot of nasty things on the internet. So sh...

  • Abstract:  Apple started 2007 with a single product that made a big splash. But over the past 15 years, there have been far more than 15 iPhones, as the company rolled out big ones, little ones, cheap ones, and costly ones. The plan was one iPhone a year until 2013...
