Original SE is badass. Definitely usable in 2024. I use it as a backup when I want to practice less phone usage. Works well for the typical phone things. Calls, texts and some light browsing and gps. Plus, so small and lightweight. Gets the job done and still getting security updates.
great minds think alike! i’ve been looking at feature phones to lower my screen time but in this era it’s impossible to not have whatsapp or gps so i decided to get this phone for my digital detox device. i hope it’s worth it.
I want an se for a secondary phone like for phone calls and messages mainly. The only thing that's holding me back is are they gonna stop LTE soon ?. That's the only thing. I think 4g will be there for a decade or so.
I love this phone I’ve had it since it came out sure I do have a more modern iphone yet I’m still tempted to move back to it. For how nostalgic it feels.
The 6s/SE are powerhouses. You can DIY a battery or screen replacement and it takes 10 minutes (the only part tied to the motherboard is the touch ID sensor, which you can live without anyways). You can jailbreak it in a few minutes to get more customization than what Android offers. Also much more pocketable and holdable, the latest flagships feel like having a 6" brick in your pocket and hands. They're always well optimized so you don't even need the excessive specs of the latest phones.
I remembered using iPhone5-SE for 6 months in 2018, it works great then! Nowadays I only use it for music mostly like workouts & cardio that’s it. Only problem is the battery life. Need a new soon!
I bought an iPhone SE 2 weeks ago and it works great. However it still has some choppy animation and fast battery drain. However, great phone for 2024.
I’ve daily drivin my se 128gb for a year now after downgrading from a Samsung s10e, absolutely love it with no issues. Had to upgrade the battery though so it lasts a whole day now. For 100 bucks its such a great option for a small phone.
I own such 128GB little beast since 2018. It's my main phone for now, while iPhone 11 plays backup role :) New battery and screen 2 year ago, new case - and old SE rules again! I don't live in my phone - it's used 95% for calls, messengers, reminders, audiobook player, bank app. Just perfect EDC phone
Same bro. I have this as a back up. I miss phones being smaller. Crazy that cell phones have huge screens and multiple cameras. Technically we don’t really need all that. Just a ploy to make consumers think they need to have and spend, spend, spend. Vicious cycle. Great backup phone to call and text. 100%
@@TheScepticalThinker if its just for social media its alrght but if you use it for gaming then it will drain the battery depending on the battery life on my case i have like 96 it was replaced so i got probably an intese gaming like 1hr and half
I've had about 20 iphone from 6, 6s and 5, 5s, se, se 2, 6+, 8+, Xr, X, 13, all in random as they broke. I currently own and have the iphone X working the rest have broke.
I have had about 30 androids totak from almost every top brand in the last decade to assign import but never proper again just the usual ex, umidigi. There broken too lol
Yes, it’s a great backup phone. Just be mindful of power consuming task like youtube shorts, which can make you think the battery is defective, but during standby or light usage, the battery is actually fine. My battery is 88% health and I can confidently take it with me when I leave my house, especially with low power mode which makes a huge difference. The battery percentage doesn’t move much when it sits on the table, it gets through the day just fine.
The cheapest one I could find was this one www.ebay.com/itm/386913576372 It does not work with Metro PCS, US Mobile, Verizon, Tracfone, Straight Talk, or Boost Here's another option incase you don't like the first one: www.ebay.com/itm/186379491565
In order to get it cheap, search on eBay "iphone se" and for the filters, make sure to select "Buy It Now" and set the price range to about 9,000 Pakistani Rupees for the maximum. Most likely you will not find one for that price, so just slowly increase the Pakistani Rupees to 9,200, 9,400, until you find a good deal. Make sure the phone is in used condition, not parts only and make sure it is either locked on your carrier or just unlocked. Be sure to read the description of any of them you might purchase to see if anything is wrong with the device.
Will you be getting the iPhone SE? Comment down below!
yeah i will get the 1st gen as a secondary phone and the s21 ultra or s22 ultra im getting will be my primary phone
Still using it as my main phone (Will be upgrading to the 8 probably)
Just bought few days ago. With 128gb and 15.8.2 update. For me and my needs works great.
Yes! 😅
I’m getting one this July as a daily driver ! I’m getting the Gold 64GB version. This has been my dream phone since 2017.

Me too still use until now Chang only battery 🔋🔋🔋 small phone and Good
If you ever do upgrade the SE3 is 100% worth it! not oversided and fits snug in your pocket. Iv just made that jump myself and it was worth it!

If apple makes the 4th gen SE the new ‘mini’ phone, I’m definitely getting that as a backup phone.
I think that the iphone 13 mini was the last mini phone, but the se4 will come out

I just ordered one.
I recently own it and honestly I like it a lot, all apps works even some gaming it’s a good phone to have in case of emergency’s or as a second device

What about battery life?
That can't be really good.

I dont think you can use it too well nowadays woth that small battery.
Unless you're using it as an secondary phone.

The battery percentage doesn’t move much when it sits on the table, it gets through the day just fine.
I am thinking to use it a my primary device since I want to control my phone usage, how much screen on time do you get
You can’t use it now😢
Can you give me a link where to buy the se1?
The cheapest one I could find was this one
www.ebay.com/itm/386913576372
It does not work with Metro PCS, US Mobile, Verizon, Tracfone, Straight Talk, or Boost
Here's another option incase you don't like the first one: www.ebay.com/itm/186379491565
I have the 3rd gen iPhone SE
我的苹果手机SE1，它的电量不耐用！
I want grab it is still worth it?
Yep just make sure you're getting it for under $40
It’s a great phone. I use mine as my main phone. Battery is fine, all apps work, has Apple Pay ect. I love it.
@@JacobDrozhLive That’s ideal. Here in Italy, a “like new” 128GB costs about €180. Another €50 and you can buy an SE 2022.

Does anyone know if I can change the SSD ? I am on a 16GB iPhone SE I would like to change it to a 64 or 128GB SSD
It can be done in Thailand.
I won't free i phone se
Is it perfect for mp3 player?
Yes. You can also consider the iPhone 6, which has a better battery.
o, thank you so much for the tip!@@JacobDrozhLive
The battery literally drops 8% in 2 minutes.
Replace the battery son it’s prolly 8 YEARS OLD
Battery is dire . I wouldn’t bother
