  • Where to buy
  • Before you buy a new iPhone SE

  • 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 Outdated FaceTime camera.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

  • Apple's original winning size returns to centre stage; Great spec upgrade, making the iPhone SE faster than the still available iPhone 6; All-day battery life; Great camera; Includes a fingerprint reader; Supports the same accessories as the iPhone 5 and
  • Small screen (in comparison to what else is out there today); Front-facing camera is old and low resolution (again, in comparison to what else is out there today); No force-touch/3D touch screen;
  • I was dreading doing this review. It's not something I like to admit, but sometimes, there are gadgets that occasionally bring a small amount of discomfort.It's like knowing you're going to have to do something not overly comfortable, like visiting a dent...

  • Conventional wisdom says that a smaller phone comes with compromises, but the early reviews say you aren't making serious sacrifices with the iPhone SE. As iMore's Rene Ritchie wrote, you get “the best experience possible in as small an inexpensive an...

  • This thing is fantastic.  Apple have dropped their best stuff into what would be described by many as their best design.  And if you are ok with, or love, the smaller screen size of the iPhone 5's – rush down and get one of these – they go on sale Thursda...

  • A small, hand-friendly design. Solid speed. Good front and rear cameras. More built-in storage (up to 128GB). The lowest priced iPhone you can buy
  • Older giant-bezel design and limited screen size are love-it-or-hate-it. Hardware hasn't changed since its 2016 debut
  • While the rest of us wait for the iPhone 7 later this year, the iPhone SE is a great choice for small phone fans looking for an 'iPhone 6S Mini.'...

  • Compact, fast performance, brilliant camera, sharp Retina display, excellent battery life, affordable
  • Older design
  • The iPhone SE might be small but it packs a mighty punch. The device is aimed at the bulk of customers who are sitting at the mid-tier, who can't afford the flagship devices, who prefer a smaller screen and a compact device. The iPhone SE ticks all of th...

  • A lot of people loved that the iPhone 6 got a bigger screen. But the fact remains that bigger, large-screened phablets are not everyone's cup of tea. By launching the SE, Apple has given customers the ability to decide what works best for them. Those with...

  • Lightweight frame, Low price for iPhone
  • Battery life could be better, Old screen technology
  • This is the phone to get if you just want a new iPhone, and one that will last you a few years, but don't want to pay a lot for it. If you're after ‘decent but not top-end' performance, then that's what the iPhone SE 2020 will offer you: there's a good ca...

  • Compact body, Great camera, Excellent performance, Solid battery life,
  • Average screen, Poor front-facing camera,
  • Even at launch, the Apple iPhone SE wasn't the most exciting phone that the company ever released, but it was a model that people had been clamouring for. A neat antidote to large phones, the iPhone SE was the last truly small iPhone. Now hard to find, ba...

  • Abstract:  It’s simple enough – today’s smartphones are too large for some. While bezels on smartphones have shrunk over the past few years (meaning bigger screens), it hasn’t stopped the general growth of smartphone dimensions.Compact phones weigh less, are easy to...
