  • Lower-res FaceTime camera
  • 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 Outdated FaceTime camera.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

  • Small size will suit a certain audience, Feature set means plenty of power, Accessible price point
  • Not a new design, Small size won't be for all - can feel crammed on screen, No 3D Touch, 1.2MP front camera, No MIMO Wi-Fi
  • The iPhone SE is a great smartphone that brings plenty of power in a small package. It's designed to appeal to those who aren't fussed by today's typically large flagship phones.If you don't want a larger iPhone then the SE is a no-brainer. It's faster in...

  • The big-screen iPhones get all the attention, but there remains a solid core of Apple fans who prefer something a little smaller. The small-handed among us have been neglected for two years, so the launch of the iPhone SE 2 will be an important event - an...

  • One of the only 4in phones available, Lengthy battery life, Still attractive, Fast
  • Screen feels outdated and disappointing, Lacking advanced camera features
  • Despite its age, Apple's smaller iPhone is still a heavyweight when it comes to performance and value. It's also one of the only smaller phones you can get your hands on...

  • Notably, it looks and feels just like the iPhone 5s before it. It didn't get slimmer, or more round, but we kind of dig it. There's something novel about maintaining a tried-and-true design motif while overhauling everything within. Indeed, that's exactly...

  • The iPhone SE's biggest draw is its size – and I know, that's obvious. But if it weren't for the fact it's so easily operated one-handed, it would be impossible to see why Apple made this phone at all, The smaller size definitely feels great in the hand a
  • The design of the phone isn't ‘iconic' – it's dated. There's no reason Apple couldn't have created a smaller version of the iPhone 6S other than saving money – while that cost has been passed onto the consumer, it would have been amazing to see a new phon
  • 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...

  • A9 processor makes it as fast as iPhone 6s, Sleek portable chassis, Affordable (by iPhone standards), Easy to use onehanded, Similar camera to iPhone 6s
  • No 3D Touch or other exciting flagship features, First generation Touch ID, Same frontfacing camera as iPhone 5s
  • It was about time Apple updated its 4-inch iPhone line (and there remain a few of us whose small hands and pockets will appreciate this more portable design), and this is a sensible refresh of a much-loved product. We'd forgotten about just how nice it is...

  • Amazing Performance, Excellent Camera, Great Battery Life, Market-Leading Ecosystem, Portable
  • Design is looking a bit old these days, Display isn't great, Might be a bit pricy for some, 16GB model is pointless
  • I gave the iPhone SE a bit of a hard time in this review. I said it costs way too much and was mean about the display and the phone not looking any different to iPhones from 2012. And I stand by this point: Apple could — and probably should — charge less...
