A lot of people recommending to people to NOT buy this phone. This phone isn't for YOU. Regardless of its outdated design it's still a really solid phone. Also knocking on the screen size...some people just want a smaller phone. We don't want to be holding tablets.

I definitely recommend this phone. Small phone, small screen, lightweight and thin. This is THE best iPhone I've ever had. I'm still rocking the SE 2020.

This device is perfect for people who do not play games on their phones and only use it for productivity and communication.

I bought iPhone SE 3 for my grandma and she loving it. She needs the home button she is coming from iPhone SE 1st gen

Am I the only one who loves this design?

Hello, I wanted to make a comment in the international arena. I also use this phone. It is a really nice phone. My profession is nursing. It fits easily in my pocket. The risk of falling is really low. It is easy to use with one hand. According to my usage, the charge lasts for 1 day. It is a very charismatic phone. I think its design makes me happy :)

I once used the 2nd gen SE but upgraded to the iPhone 13 and since then I've been getting better performance, better pictures and videos, and most importantly better battery life. It was worth it to me!

Some of the supposed ''issues'' with this phone are dubious. You talk about the OLED screen being better than LCD. On my 75 inch TV at home, i agree. But on my little 5 inch iphone? Paying extra money for OLED on a tiny phone is insane. For most users, camera technology is more than enough on the SE. Almost no one will see a photo from an SE, and wonder if it was taken on a lesser phone. The only real thing i can see as a concern might be the battery life. But for what you save in both size and weight, plus that extra 170 dollars that you act like is nothing, might make the SE a great choice.

Quality of camera really stunning for its price. Using SE 2022 1.5 years and pretty happy. The main reason I’m using it: compact size, good price, good camera, good performance, premium materials and long support. 429 is too much but used phone could be bought for $200 easily

I have the SE 2 since 2020 and im very happy except battery life. Had the battery replaced already, though its not an original one so it deteriorated rather quickly again over 1 year 😅 I bring my power bank everywhere now. Still going to use it as long as it gets iOS updates though, which is likely another 2-3 years! Love the little guy.

The size is why I buy the SE series only because it’s the same size as my old iPhone 7 and that was a perfect size to carry around.

buying it for the small size, compact & lite

I had the iPhone 7 and I just got off the iPhone 8 in 2023 and bought a yellow 14. It's funny my friend say that my 14 is too big but with an OtterBox defender case on my iPhone 8 it's exactly the same size as my iPhone 14.

I’ve had the second gen since 2020 and I love it. I occasionally think about upgrading especially when I travel or go to concerts, but for everyday use it is more than sufficient. Battery doesn’t last fast when I’m browsing or on data, but it’s not super worrying.

samsung s21 day in the life?

I live in Brazil, and I bought this phone in 2022, the price was 2,800$ BRL (556$ USD). I’m using everyday, and I love it, and the only thing that is bad is the battery life.

great video! watching on my se 3👍

That’s my phone. For me it’s the best combo I could ever ask for nowadays. High performance along with the old home button. Btw you look cute ;)

In my opinion this model is almost perfect, I love the small size and the home button (which comes with fingerprint id and double/triple click functions) which is absent on newer phones

I just bought this phone- I’ve had a IPhone SE 2016 first gen phone until last week, so I find this phone absolutely huge compared to that lol. I like it, but I love really small phones. I don’t use social media so prefer smaller screens. It’s a great phone so happy I bought it. Was tossing up between this and the iPhone 13 mini, but that only has Face ID, which I’ve never used as my phone was 8 years old, so that was too complicated for me 😂😂😂

Got myself a SE3 last weekend on used maker for $175 in 9/10 condition. Needed a work phone in addition to my personal 15 pro max. Wanted specifically this phone since it's a last phone with a home button. Well keep it as a collector's item. It's a weird phone these days but touch id is still waaay more handy to use for apple pay if you know the right way of using it :)

I highly recommend this iPhone. A relatively "affordable" iPhone compared to other higher end iPhones, but it lasts a long time so it pays for itself, reliable battery, small enough to use with one hand, doesn't have that bulky feel if you put it in your pocket, classic look and feel. A decent phone for the casual user

The problem with modern technology behavior is that you can't make such kind of reviews after real time use since when you have the clip, the company already released ten new models. This is the right review, not the one talking about the specs of the new phone right after 1 day of usage. Nice job!

ive been using it for 1.5yr and honestly it still performs like new .... i love smaller phones previous i had iphone 6s and an android flagship bt after getting se i sold both and dont regret at all .... im also a heavy user ,,, battery life is ok for me as 20w charges it as fast as 40-50 min

I’ve been using the se for a few months and I absolutely love it! A bang for your buck!

Well i need Compact phone for outdoor running, since IP mini discontinued, I'm interested IP SE 😊 but I'll wait for SE 4. Thanks for reviewing.

I still have an SE2. Yes the battery is bad, but here’s how I combat this. I charge my phone at work. And I carry an external charger. And i religiously keep it in power save mode. Works for me. I’ll upgrade when I have to. The home button is THE BOMB! The SE3 better still be around when I need to upgrade. Or maybe I should just buy it now. Hmmmm?

I got mine for $149 to use as a work phone. It pays for itself. I love it

Not everyone has $170 to spend on a more expensive phone. Perhaps they could get a better Android phone for same price of an iPhone SE. I’ve got an SE and the battery sucks but it’s a good phone and does exactly what a phone should do.

Call me crazy but I use this phone primarily for making telephone calls. I also needed it for the dual sim option. All the rest is extra. It fits in one hand, I barely notice it in my pocket and if I wish to play a game I have a desktop PC at home.

I just bought this phone for my mum. She had an iPhone 8 and it’s 62. She is very comfortable with Touch ID and a home button. That is worth more to me than all the new tech in the newer models

can you do one for the iphone 11 pro max ?

If this phone had better battery life, it would have been my favorite iphone.

what does it cost to upgrade? i'm thinkin' of getting this phone next week.

My se3 is a beast

I have an iPhone SE three and I love it. I wish it wasn’t going away.

I purchased the SE 3rd gen in March 2022 when it first came out. My iPhone 7+ was super slow, and I didn’t have the money for anything more expensive than the SE 3rd gen. I honestly really like it. The photo quality is better than the 7+’s, even if it isn’t as good as some of the more premium iPhones. To this date it’s still way faster than my 7+. The smaller screen size definitely took some getting used to, and while typing my fingers would often hit the wrong keys. Definitely a solid option for those on a budget but still want a functioning iPhone. The only downside is that although it supports Bluetooth 5, 5G, eSIM, nano-SIM, and Wi-Fi 6, it doesn’t support the Bluetooth Low Energy that AirTags use for precision tracking (which the 13 mini does). You can still set up and use AirTags, and all the features work EXCEPT for one, which is the feature where the phone points to where it is with an arrow, and gives an estimate of how far away it is. When looking for one I usually just press the “play sound” button, which makes it beep. However, if you are in Korea where many of the AirTag features already don’t work, having another one that doesn’t work may be annoying.

Personally, I'd still get the SE. I have small hands. I like Touch ID better than Face ID. I like that LCD not only can contribute to better battery life compared to OLED, but also the fact that LCD will not cause image burns like OLED does. If I want a better camera, then I'll get a camera. And for a budget phone that has a flagship processor, and will continue to get iOS upgrades, fine by me. Also, same Apple software experience as the flagship. And the other thing regarding battery life -- turn off 5G if your plan does not have it. But if you decide to upgrade to a 5G plan, then you'd be ready by then, and not have to buy another phone.

I have the SE ‘20, works great for me. But I’m the low key smartphone user. I like small, compact iPhones and that home button / Touch ID works great. SE works for me but not everyone. I don’t mind the bezels but I am glad apple made these devices for people like myself. I’ll get the SE ‘22 after the ‘20.

This is a great secondary phone for travel.

AS an 13 year old with a iphone se, Its been holding up well, In terms of performance and camera and sound quality,

I love my IPhone SE 3rd gen over my work phone which is a Samsung galaxy S23 5g , the iPhone is smaller and easier to put in my pocket and less chance of getting dropped and broken, the Cameras take great pictures for being a single wide angle camera , the front selfie camera takes good enough pics for me, Battery life has been great because I don’t use my phone a lot only for texting and phone calls and for $150 I’m not going to complain.

I bought mine brand new 3 days ago from Walmart for 149 dollars

My 1st iPhone was a 4, iPhone8, then iPhone SE2020. I have the SE2022 now, I like small iPhones. Probably will get a 13mini next.

I’ve had the iPhone 14 Pro …and I’ve had both the iPhone 13 Pro Max and the iPhone 12. All the while wishing for the compact and lite iPhone SE 3rd generation. I am waiting for mine to arrive in the mail Tuesday. The cameras on the newer phones are great…but I don’t feel like it is worth the bulky feel you get with them.

But I think it looks better than nowadays iPhones

great video

i like it so far❤

The iPhone SE 2022 is a “little beast” that humiliates much more expensive Android phones in terms of performance.

Would you recommend this for a 13 old who is a tad accident prone with tech?!! She is starting high school soon so don’t want her going around the school with an expensive phone. Also she is also good at losing things but I am planning on using Find my IPhone

hi , please do you try the motorola moto g 84 5g on the real day in the life ,thanks

I thought about getting this to stop me from spending too much time with my phone. Display is so tiny that it doesn’t tempt you to spend any more time with the phone than you absolutely have to. Therefore the battery life wouldn’t be a problem. The price of that phone however is a problem. It should be a 299€ phone, maybe 350€ max.

I'm an apple fanboy and every YEAR I only wanted the "top iPhone of the year" But then I realized, as a common person, a student actually, how little I use "pro" feature, I don''t need a 4K PRO RES GIGA MAX ULTRA WIDE CAMERA to film my friends being stupid, I don't need a 47 megapixel front camera, because I'm not going to take photos for a portfolio, but for instagram and memories. And plus, my iPhone 13 Pro is really heavy, is big and I can't use it with just one hand, And I payed a LOT for it. I'm watching this video because I don't need a pro phone and I have to convince myself that the best tech spec phone would maybe not be the best for me, as we always want to buy the best we can. SO when you say "for 170$ more you can buy a 13", you are not getting the point of the SE :) PS: I would chose SE even just for Touch ID.

May be small to most but to me it’s normal size. Camera is disappointing though knowing there is night mode & such good zoom on more expensive phones. The LCD is implemented better so between that & the size are the 2 reasons I went with the se3. I do game on my phone that said , the battery sucks if you’re coming from an old phone, it should be better. My old one was dead while this had 40%

The SE is the best iPhone out there.

I am not a content creator, however, this phone is an absolute beast and runs smooth like the standard iPhone 13. I would I know, I had the iPhone 13, and iPhone 14 Plus. You will not be disappointed with the iPhone SE 2022!!! It’s a great investment and the chip is super powerful.

SE fan here. The shape and design of this phone causes it to slide off of most surfaces. If you don’t like using a phone casing you will suffer because of that. If it weren’t for that I would be looking forward to four or five years with this phone.

It’s 2024, and I’m still using my IPhone 7. iPhone SE 3rd Gen 😊should be ok 👌🏽

Just like film camera, this phone will making its comeback

How long the battery last in a day? I use an outdated android and it can only let me connect to the internet for 1 hour and it's dead. Can this phone last for 2 hours with data On?

he's so cute ❤❤

What about getting a used one for 210$ ?

If you're minimalist or tight budget like me you gonna love it. It's ok because it's wireless just grab a power bank magsafe then go.

📱🌟 Step into the real day-to-day with the iPhone SE 3 in 2024!

Yesterday I bought iPhone 📱 SE third generation, it’s good for me

Could you explain why your days start after 4pm I don’t get it??

I bought this used with 94 percent bh at 170usd Was it gd deal?

Got my SE and 15 Pro Max on promotion, so I can wait until the 20 drops before I need a new one 😂

I used to think that if SE3 or SE4 came in iPhone8plus form factor, it would be better. ..I like the old 5.5 inch screen, it works very well.

Pric??

Everything you showed, is exactly why I traded my 12 and 13 for a 15Pro Max and 3rd Gen SE 😊

I am conflicted between the 13 mini and the SE (coming from 5S). I adore small phones, my small palms can't handle huge phones.

I highly recommend it makes phone calls messages has a nice camera and has 5g and has A15 CHIP

I have a SE second generation, and I'd like the form factor. I love the button. I don't like the way the OS works in the 13, 14, and 15. I don't like the facial recognition. I love the thumb button. So I've been thinking of upgrading my SE2 to SE3. It's been four years I think so it's probably time. I can get it with 256G of storage, and with the new processor, it seems like it gives me everything I want. I'll post back here later after I get it

Is it fine as a secondary phone in 2024?

biggest reason im considering over galaxy fold5 rn is I really missed the finger print unlock function over a face ID LOL

I honestly miss this phone. Thinking of buying the red one

This is an essential iPhone for the 10% of people that can’t use OLED due to PWM and want a NEW iPhone. The price? Too high really. Head for eBay! Very sad to hear the SE 4 is likely to be OLED 😡

I am thinking about getting this or the 13 mini. I just want a small iPhone.

It is older but it inst a dated looking phone. It still looks stunning. I think people would say that is a nice looking phone.

i have this phone and battery life is pretty good

Real people know this is just a re-upload of the same video from last year

Just lost my 2nd gen SE yesterday, and have a refurbished 3rd gen on the way for $179.00. Better than 400.00.....

I’d advise a battery case for the SE or a MagSafe case. Also a free app to give night mode and portrait for non face pictures (NeuralCam and Focos).

Apart from any negatives, "The iPhone SE 3's A15 Bionic chip ensures exceptional speed and efficiency, guaranteeing smooth performance for all tasks."

Surprised you didn't mention the outrageous price of the SE3 still.

I like smaller phones, but i dislike that black around the screen arena (top bottom), so i opted out for huawei p40, as its small in size, have decent ram, camera, cpu is somewhat good for gaming, and overall design is compact and nice... Was thinking to get back to iPhone, as last iPhone i used was iphone 3gs decades ago, and i was happy with it back then (compared to androids we had at the same time), now Im not so sure the iPhone is for me, as i dont like having a "brick" in my pocket...

The SE line/series are the best for all. Triple camera, notch, and dynamic island are just luxury but totally useless for everyday life.

I don't see OLED as superior display technology. OLED screens suffer from burn-in. An LCD screen will look good-as-new (literally) for the entire life of the phone. I would pay extra for an LCD phone screen vs. OLED. The last thing I want to worry about is my phone screen wearing out. Also, yes, newer iPhones have bigger screens, and they look impressive, but once you subtract out the space taken up by the notch and the home bar, the actual increase in usable space is not what you might expect.

The people shopping for an iPhone SE, very likely don't have an extra $170 available. Yes, of course, if they spend more they'll get more, but the SE is for people that either can't spend more or intentionally don't want to.

I would buy one but the battery life dies too quickly from previous experience

please try the iphone 11 real day, ty

This is the best smartphone for people who has a life.

I just want to use one for music aka my itunes library

I just ordered a brand new one of these from Amazon in the uk they started at £429 and £479 for the 128gb on apple uk… I got the 128gb for £429 from Amazon because I’m a builder and I’m sick and tired of having a phone in my pocket that is so big I cannot kneel down with it in my pocket so when Im laying floors I have to put it to one side, then I go out to my van and the phone rings and I miss the call and if it’s another job I loose out on that job, so I got one of these now I can work with it in my pocket….as for battery life I just use a battery case it does make it a bit thicker but triples the battery life…..not every one wants a phone that’s the size of a brick

Try the 13 Mini if u want a small phone

Does it support magsafe

❤❤❤

do iPhone 13 mini day in the life please and thanks

This can also be used as a secondary device or your work phone. This is still a beast in 2024, but the downside will be its battery life
