    A lot of my older relatives (65 plus) just upgraded to this from iphone 6-8 one word: home button. Older people seem to prefer physical buttons. And apple made it identical to the 7-8 form factor so the same cases and accessories work perfectly. This product isn’t for you or me or most techies or young people, but there is a market for this product. Apple of all companies would never have made this product if there wasn’t enough demand for it.

      Another potential demographic would be children imo. If my child is about to start school and everyone in the family has iPhones, it makes sense for me to buy the SE for him/her. The phone offers basically all of the important functionalities of the Apple ecosystem, while it's not going to break the bank, and even if the child breaks/ loses the phone, it wouldn't be a massive hit either to buy a new SE. Of course, plenty of other kids would have iPhones as well (albeit maybe not necesarrily the SE), so the child wouldn't feel "left out" of the Apple party lol. Apple definitely knew what they were doing with this phone, but I absolutely get why tech geeks are fuming.

    I just bought one 2 weeks ago. “Upgraded” from the 8+. I love it so far. The reason why they made this phone only 2 years after the se 2020 is because of 5G. The phone carriers wanted Apple to make an entry level phone that’s 5G compatible. I’m surprised this hasn’t been mentioned in these reviews.

      Yeah well at the end of the day they should've used the XR for the new SE. 5G is not going to be that important on the little phone. LTE works just fine so you'd be better getting a used 11 Pro, 11, XR, XS, X. 3 of those have OLED displays. All would be less expensive. All are fully supported.

    I feel no desire to upgrade to a flagship model. This phone does everything I need it to do in a form factor I love. The only thing I'm thinking about doing is upgrading to the new 2022 SE, but my current SE still has plenty of life left so I'm not ready to make that jump quite yet.

      Depends. I have been working as system administrator for a medium sized company with around 150 ppl. While yes, the iPhone lasts longer android devices are way cheaper. You can get a Samsung under 200 with four years of security updates. It's good enough for emails and calls. It comes down to the existing ecosystem, prestige and prefernce of the decision makers, like management.

    • @kornar
      @kornar 2 роки тому +1

      I argue that the iPhone SE is aimed at families, especially children (and seniors) where the parents are already in the ecosystem. In order for these customers not to go to Android because it is so much cheaper, the SE comes in very handy in the mid-price range with the advantages of the already used ecosystem (Find-My, iMessage, Family Share,...).

    • @BOSS_1417
      @BOSS_1417 2 роки тому +2

      No it won't last twice as long as Android, Android might not get OS updates but the older Android versions remain compatible for many years.
      For example an iPhone 6 I own is worthless now as it doesn't even support apps like Adobe scan for scanning documents or even Netflix!!! Many of the necessary apps aren't compatible anymore as they need iOS 13 minimum while Android phones still support much more like my galaxy S3 (not that it is worth using Today either but is
      definitely better than the iPhone 6 and has a bigger display too)
      PS The galaxy S3 released a whole 2 years before iPhone 6 too!

As a sustainable entity following a growing recycling mission, Apple is still standing by its brand philosophy, so those buyers will have to figure out getting protective solutions by themselves during that shopping spree.

  • @blueburger4
    @blueburger4 2 роки тому +3

    I feel like this whole phone could've been saved by swapping the ideology behind the screen-battery-CPU relationship. They should've knocked down the cpu to a couple gens ago, upped the screen to at least a low-tier OLED/AMOLED, and bulked up the back a tiny smidge for a good battery. That way you get less power draw from the CPU (which as is seems honestly like a handicap on this phone more than a selling point) and screen while still providing a great, long-lasting media device that supports 5g for less than 500-600 USD. But the way it is, I feel like this was complete miss and should be priced at like $300.

    If I were to recommend this device, I'd recommend it to to older people, people with small hands, and people that are between 13 and 16 years old (if you're willing to spend that much on a phone for a kid) to include them within the parents' apple ecosystem.

    This device is for my wife. She is still rocking the original SE. Got no storage, battery last 3/4 a day but she doesn't want a big phone and won't let me buy her a Mini variant.

    everything on the se can be done with one hand and one finger with your phone in the upright position..i still prefer them go back to the squared/metal side style..battery life🤔..turn on battery saver

    128GB and $399 should have been the baseline. Would have been an easier sell.

    I have an iPhone se 2020 and I love it. I think what they’re not realizing is the people who like and own this line of phones are the most pragmatic of Apple fans and they usually won’t upgrade unless necessary. I would only consider upgrading if they offered this phone with usb c and I’d be sold if they offered a 3.5mm jack as well. It is a great product but I have a working phone that’s nearly identical.

    This SE gen 3 would had been for me... if it hadn't been for the fact that there's still no Blue colour option... and the huge bezels... and it still has a 60hz LCD display... and, AND, dealing with the battery life of my SE gen 2 for the last 2 year wasn't great, with all the new app/game that NEED more battery than in the past.
    I switched to the BLUE 13 mini and the battery already last so much longer, it's great... but I really despise the god damn FaceID, I really wish they had added TouchID back in some way this year like they did with the iPad.

    For me it’s not old school. It’s a smart way of keeping the iPhone old design to become user friendly, especially for those who still using that variant and design until now. It is still good for 2022. And Apple just knew what their customer’s wants and needs. They’re not just thinking for the design but mostly for the customer’s satisfaction.

    Knowing how to change iPhone batteries has been my saving grace with owning SEs for the past 5 years

      yeah that really comes in clutch. Their batteries are just terrible ! I ended up getting the starlight iPhone SE and I personally think its not the best for the price they are asking for. I got the 64GB option which was the cheapest and I currently use it as backup phone when I'm travelling. I made a review video on it over on my channel if you want to check it out:)

    I’ve worked at T-Mobile and I now work at Xfinity and part of my job is selling Xfinity Mobile.
    While I have seen a transition to people of all ages being more interested in the bigger and more premium phones, there is still that very real and loyal market of people that just want simplicity. Mostly the middle-aged to elderly folks, unsurprisingly. They’ve maybe already got an older model iPhone and don’t want to learn something new or maybe they don’t want a different form factor to get used to or maybe they don’t want to have to worry about swiping around to navigate their phone. All of these things are burdens on these people that just want to have their phone work how it always has and get on with their lives. Their phone is nowhere near the center of their lives, they worry about other things.
    These are the people that love the iPhone SE, and with it being more efficient and having 5G this time around, it’s still a decent upgrade for these people and as simple as can be. To us it may seem crazy but this is what these customers want. They don’t care about premium in a phone, it doesn’t make sense to them.
