Wayne . 1 month ago

Battery was worse after the first week than the previous SE I owned...after 6 years, Glitchy and slow. Only reason I replaced the prior SE was because IOS stopped updating. Battery life was amazing and not one hiccup. Apple took a near perfect phone and ruined it.

Bd Live . 9 months ago

Check Mark GraphicYes, I'd recommend this product.
I have had this phone for a couple of years and I still love it. It has held up very well. The memory does it job just pick the right size of mb. I am waiting for os 18. The photos i take are great during the day and ambient light is good shot properly. Videos play well and the stereo sound is a bonus. The Touch ID is the joy of the bunch. It helps you sign in or purchase something without having to fumble through cards. The screen is nice in size for movies but I don’t do games. You have many wallpapers to choose from. Setting the phone up is easy just set up an account and build up what you want on the phone. If you have to reset your phone sign back into your account and select the recent backup. The sound is fine and I have no problem hearing the caller. Or music. The phone has no dropping off problems except for the service. As expected. I looked on w m and the reason the phone is not expensive is because the carrier in question is making money for paying for the service. I’d buy the phone because these other ones don’t update the os. Have fun.

Kendra S . 9 months ago

I got this phone for my son, who is entering the intermediate school this year (he is 10 going on 11). Seemed like an okay size and good starter phone. I had nothing but issues trying to set this up and never was able to get the text messaging to work (iMessage or regular texting). I had to contact Apple for support. After the 2+ hours I spent with Verizon for this order in the first place, I just don’t have time for another support call.

Matt . 9 months ago

Never received phone, UPS wouldn’t deliver due to signature requirement. Spent hours on chat with Verizon “support”, trying to change my delivery. Got nowhere, couldn’t reach a rep by phone. Still waiting for confirmation of order cancellation, still being charged, still have no phone. Extremely frustrated. Considering new carriers.

the reason I bought this phone is it was the last Iphone with a home button. So far so good. Just wish it was a little bigger like my previous Iphone 8 plus.

For a cheap iPhone it’s great! I don’t need the newest fanciest one on the market! It literally does just about the same as the new one! Maybe not as great of a camera from far away but still great!
