  • @lilPopper
    @lilPopper 7 місяців тому +49

    Honestly, if you are willing to adjust your phone use expectations, I would still get the iPhone SE. The design may be old, but there is still a market for those that like this form factor -- users that are still holding onto the iPhone 6, 7 and 8 that want to upgrade their hardware can go with this option because it's a familiar design, no muscle memory is tampered with, and they can still use their old accessories like the protective cases they already have -- saves them more money that way. Regarding the "outdated" display, there are people that get sick due to pulse width modulation (PWM) with OLED screens. LCD panels rarely cause that issue. Not to mention, LCD screens can help prolong battery life compared to OLED.
    Despite Apple now using USB-C going forward because of EU regulations, Apple's proprietary lightning port will still be around for a while -- how long, that depends. And that's because despite the 15 series just being released, there are thousands of past iPhone models still in use. The average consumer isn't gonna keep upgrading every year unless they are the type to splurge. I would suggest getting a 3rd party USB- C charging/data cable with a lightning port adapter included that's MFI approved - just carry one cable for all your other devices, less clutter.
    Lastly, with Apple's great track record of software upgrades of up to 5, even 7 years keeping the old models current, no need to upgrade for a long time. iOS 17 runs really well on the SE, so yeah, users will get their money's worth. I just don't suggest buying the SE from Apple directly.

    I love the Iphone SE. I like the the camera bump is so small. I really think the pro models with the huge camera bump is really not great looking or feeling. Also i don't need all those cameras linses, since i'm just taking a photo once now and then. Also i love the home button and the haptick motor. I don't use any cover, so if i bought an expensive iphone i would have covers and screen protection on it, and that takes away the joy of just feeling the phone in your hand, and the look of it. But since it is cheaper i'm okay with no cover, and i've been having it for over a year and still looks great. Battery life and screen size is my only complain, and no night mode in photos also sucks.

    Typing this on my SE I got yesterday at Verizon. It’s brand new and it’s a good cheap option if you have really good service ie Verizon. I got what I could afford now and I’ll upgrade later. A fresh iPhone is a fresh iPhone. It’s definitely giving me the nostalgia for when I had an iPhone 6. Touch ID is fun and I’ll definitely save this baby as a backup or a simple little iPod. I didn’t grow up with all the phones so this is a cool little throwback for me.

    Honestly if you can find a good deal on the SE3, then it's still 100 percent worth buying even now. These phones can be found cheap for all that you get. Yes, you get a smaller and older display with a smaller battery. But, you also get a premium build quality, wireless charging, excellent speakers, updates for at least 5 more years, Touch ID and all the same Apple features. Saw these with Straight Talk going for $49 with a plan purchase and even now around $99. For that price it's an excellent value. Or even on the used market.

    If you have charging, software trouble with phones, you have to do this: choose a new, activated SIM card, that can be out of service, if you want to. Insert the card in the bad phone. The card will shut down the phone, because it consumes high power during the phone activation. Connect the charger, and start the phone. You finished the phone activating. The process will remove the black display, turned display, and will enable the good charging, if your charging was bad. You can do this with any phone, and is not depending on the service of mobile providers, or locked, pin protected cards. The phone activation happens during boot, before the pin code, if the card asks for one. After that, you can use your card, that doesn’t ask activating, such as Vodafone.

      iPhone XR is still fine. In regard to if the se is better, the se has an a15 chip and is 5g capable. Xr has an a12 chip and is not 5g capable. SE will likely be supported a few years beyond the Xr.

      @IM-eq9gx 5 місяців тому +1

      If it's just social media and some lighter games, the XR is the more capable phone if you don't need 5G. Fullscreen, larger battery, more secure faceID. But only one or two ios upgrades and then just security upgrades after that. So 4years?
      I have the SE2022, and think it's not better than the XR IF I don't need 5G. But I just also like the SE3 feeling in the hand. This is coming from owning 5s, 6sPlus, X, XS Max, SE2, 12mini, 13 ProMax. I still have 13 ProMax, and just gifted my 12mini but use the SE3 everyday except on vacation.
      Someday when they come out with SE4, I'll get it only if it's a new version of 6sPlus, or X but single rear cam would be perfect for aesthetics and size, or XR. Anything else, I'll just stay with my SE3+13PM combination.

    Touch ID is a great feature. I must say though, I was actually surprised at how well the face ID worked when I got my 14 Pro Max. I was expecting the slowness of androids face ID. Luckily Apple nailed it though. Overall I was just unhappy with my iPhone. The price was incredibly high for what it was. I used that phone for a few months and went back to a Galaxy. 1200 bucks for the 14 Pro Max was twice as much as it was actually worth.
