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.

I was looking for a phone that would fit in my pocket better than my previous iPhone. It is a little smaller, but I have a defender OtterBox on it so it’s a bit bulky for some of my pockets

Yes, 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.

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.
Phone never arrived.

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.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
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.
Great phone and price

I love that this is a smaller phone. Large phones are the trend, but I prefer a smaller size iphone.

Do an iphone SE 3rd generation come with a sim card
Answer from Verizon Customer Support6 months
No, the iPhone SE (3rd generation) does not come with a pre-installed SIM card. Instead, it's recommended to activate the phone with an eSIM (electronic SIM card). For more info, check out our Equipment Guide: https://www.verizon.com/smartphones/apple-iphone-se-2022/. ~Gilbert
