    Yes, the iPhone SE (2nd generation) will receive iOS 20, as it has received updates to every version of iOS since its release. The latest version of iOS is iOS 18, which was released in 2024

    Hey! I’ve been using the SE 2020 for two years now, and I bought it secondhand. I really love small phones, and the iPhone 13 mini is just too expensive for me. After 1,800 charging cycles, my battery life is at 77%, and I play Asphalt 9 on it regularly. I have a wireless charger on my desk, so I always set my phone on it. I absolutely love this phone; it works amazingly well! I paid just $100 for it two years ago-what a fantastic way to spend $100!

    I use this phone everyday. I love it. Here are my battery tips. Put the phone on low power mode. Take an external charger with you. I always charge my phone at work. I always leave work with 100% battery. Also for someone coming from an older iPhone model, then yes, you will notice the screen difference. You will also notice the slowness. But for those of us who have known nothing but iPhone SE it isn’t an issue. Also the size if fantastic. I have small hands and can use it mostly one handed. And… Touch ID is the best. Yes I have tried newer iPhone models. I even own a 13 so I could try it. I have to say it’s not for me. In conclusion, a lot of these types of videos are going to be more in the negative side because people are coming from newer models. But let me tell you, there are some people who love this phone to bits. I’m one of them.

      I bought an iPhone SE 3 after having an iPhone 13 mini for two years and yeah, people just say it's bad because they have the urge to always have the latest technology, but for the price -if bought refurbished- it's actually a great phone and it's pretty sad that this is the last iPhone that takes simplicity over modernity

      Yes the battery isn’t great. But I carry a charger everywhere and always charge my phone at work. And I always put the phone on low power mode. Works for me. And my battery is down to 75%. I could get a new battery, but charging it often works for me.

    Apart from the battery drain issue, this still works for me as an everyday phone. Bought it back in 2020 and am still using it. Though i keep pixel as an additional device for occasional gaming and going through docs, but SE remains the primary device. It's a handy device to carry around and your wrists don't hurt too!

    Because it has an a13 chip, it is very likely to have support until iOS 20.
    The screen is good for those that suffer from PWM on oled screens and the symmetry with the home buttom is the reason for the bezels.
    The batteru, when new, was still never very good but 83% health means its just about shot.
    A phone for a simpler time of phone usage. The modern audience for it is very limited.
