    I'm still using it now. I've been using it for 2 years now, to be honest with you, the phone is good. The only bad thing about it is the front camera, 1st gen touch ID that can get pretty slow and the battery life. Other than that, I could say that the phone can hold itself pretty well. The only reason I'm sticking to it, is because I am waiting for Apple to release another small phone because my hands are really small so it's hard for me to handle big sized smartphones and they did last year with the iPhone 12 mini. Can't wait to upgrade soon :D!

    This is my current phone and it does hold up well on iOS 14 and in 2021. It probably won't get iOS 15 though as Apple will probably want to get people to transition over to newer phones such as the SE 2nd gen.

      @@rameezkhalid5241 I saw a deal on a refurbished iPhone XS so went ahead and made the switch. It's a bigger phone than I wanted but I'll probably get used to it. It's marginally larger than the SE 2020 which was the other choice but I also wasn't too keen on the new SE because of the older design recycle.

    Watching from a SE 2016 64 gb battery changed condition 100%, iOS 14.3 working smoothly better than my Redmi Note 6 Pro, the size it’s awesome for me, take it anywhere I want it and almost not realizing i carry the phone with me.

      I’ve got a 64 gb one too even though I’m using only around 30 and I think a lot of people don’t know this but solid state drives are way faster when I think a third or so is not used. I think it has to do with garbage collection or something like that.

    I sold my iPhone 11 Pro max 256gb 3 months ago for $780 knowing I was going to upgrade to the iPhone 13(I like to upgrade every two years on the S version you end up getting max equity when you sell it 3 months out). I purchased a 1st gen iPhone SE for $50 and I actually like it. I might end up getting a Mini 13. I mean, I have an iPad Pro. I like that I'm off my phone more and I use my Apple Watch more as well now.

    @mirangunca1 3 роки тому +3

    apple will usually support their hardware as long as it makes sense. considering the SE from 2016 has 2GB ram and a very capable A9 processor even for today standards, it's gonna be supported for as long as they will support iphone 6s, 7 and 8. There is absolutely no reason for apple to stop supporting the 6s and SE. Probably the 2gb ram will be next limitation and all of the models with 2gb ram will be unsupported at the same time. My bets are ios 16 will still have the same support, even for the iphone 6s and SE
    whats also worth mentioning, the battery on the SE is very easy to replace, my 128gb phone works better than when it was brand new with an improved 2000mah battery from polarcell
    it is the best phone ever made!
