A simple updated mini rebranded as an SE would be baller
Mini design, no face id - fingerprint on power button is enough, punch hole front cam, single rear cam, 399. Take my money 💸🤍
@@leomarkf Motorola edge 30 neo is exactly what you want
@@oo0024 I would presume that people here would want iOS and every bit of the Apple ecosystem that comes with it
@@oo0024 that’s 6.3~ inches. Mini is supposed to be a compact experience
@@oo0024 not at all
You might be talking about clicking just to talk about something on a video, but in all actuality viewers, this phone doesn’t make any clicking sound at all just like the iPhone eight didn’t. It vibrates and does t make any noise doing it. I like my SE
I recommended this to my mother back when it was new. She bought it and had no problems with it until she lost it. She promptly went out and bought another SE2.
I have the SE 3 as my company phone and I unexpectedly like that I can type with one hand. I used to have a 7 Plus before that and that was simply perfect in size. If there would be an SE+, I'd buy it no matter what.
I updated from my iPhone 12 pro max to an se3 six months back. I could not be happier.
I kept my iPhone 6 as a backup when I bought an XR. When the 6 stopped getting software updates I bought an SE-2 as the backup. It was fine, almost exactly like the 6. I upgraded to the iPhone 13 and decided the SE 2020 was no longer a good backup. I traded it for the 13 Mini. This is a great phone. Apple should use the Mini platform for the next SE.
💰
I have an se 2020 as my main phone and I think it’s plenty good enough. I had the 13 mini in 2021 and sold it , I don’t miss it
I still remember watching iPhone X launch event and being amazed when they showed the gesture navigation. I had an S8+ at the time and always felt like there was something wrong with having software buttons for navigation because it takes away that full screen experience that they were going for. I didn’t like the notch but gestures were definitely my favorite thing about the iPhone X redesign.
LOL you realize that on your S8 you could hide the navigation buttons and use gestures, right? I guess not
@@AAMD11 It couldn’t until 2 years later when it got android 9 update.
I had blackberry z10 and used these gestures for like a year. Was sad when the thing died down. Using iphones since tho
My 80yr old dad got suckered into upgrading his iPhone 6s to an iPhone 13 at the store. He couldn’t figure out gestures at all no matter how much I taught him. I just traded my 8+ for his 13. He’s happy now as it all seems familiar to him. But this just goes to show that apple should keep making iPhones with home buttons for the older generation that can’t move on from it.
I have had the SE 3 for 1 year and 1 month. Despite the battery being at 91% health I love the phone!
My SE2 is what finally sucked me down the Apple ecosystem rabbit hole.😅 As a ardent Android fanboy since my first Motorola G1 I fought the good fight until I broke the screen on my Pixel 6 and couldn't stomach the screen replacement cost. Got the SE2 for free on a signup deal then switched over to Mint. That was last August and since then I have added a Mac Mini M1 (refurbished for $499), and iPad Pro 2018 and next up is coming a new Apple TV🤪
💯
The Apple ecosystem absolutely is not for everyone, but for those who can appreciate its simplicity… oh it is just a beautiful experience! Enjoy
Drew...you bring HUMANITY to the tech world! Here for the skits...never disappointed! Mahalo!
The SE 2/3, Xr and 11 are really important as the only choices for the 10% of us who can’t use OLED due to PWM.
Drew, thanks for mentioning about that!👍🏼
What’s PWM?
@@closebenit has to do, i think, about migraines. The refresh happing in the OLED screens can cause us to have a full blow migraine attack 😭
Edit to add correct info:
Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.Dec 18, 2017
I love the SE 3 model its my 2nd iphone SE model to own which was the first gen and i use it as my company phone while working and go back to my regular android phone which is the Sony Xperia 1 iv so its pretty interesting to go back in forth with those phones... regardless of all that if you want the SE 2022 model i definitely recommend it.
In Latin America the costs are higher. Which one would you choose? an iPhone SE 2022 at $400 or an iPhone 11 at $500? Both new and 64 GB.
Completely agree I think an ‘se plus’ in the form factor of an 8 plus would do very well. I’d certainly feel nostalgic about that phone even coming from a 14 pro lol
I went for a SE 2020 because I wanted a phone that was not so big so that it easier to hold in the hand (my hands are not that big) and it is easier to put in your pocket. At the time I bought it, its price was a little more than half the price of the iPhone 12 mini and for my usage it looked like the 12 did not bring much more to the table.
2.5 years later I do notice that I need to charge it a bit more often, but as long I don’t forget to do that whenever I’m out for a whole day without a charger there’s not really an issue. I just should only use it then when it’s needed and not to kill time with it. And then the battery could still be 40% at the end of the day (or higher if I used it less on average).
I switched my android tablet to gesture control. It has the option to just have an on screen home button at the bottom of the screen. I am so used to my iPhone and adjuster controls but I decided I wanted it on my android tablet. My Samsung tab S8 Plus has an option for gesture, controls, built-in, and it makes it very similar to using the iPhone gesture controls. It makes switching back-and-forth between my iPhone and my tablet noticeably more seamless, especially considering that they are totally separate operating systems. I just like having the same control on my touchscreen devices. also, I really appreciate the fact that Samsung gives us the option to have iPhone like gesture controls on any Samsung phone or traditional android controls with the back button and the multitasking button, and the home button, which are of course, on screen buttons now, but I like the option. I am more of an Apple person, so being able to use my android devices in a manner that is incredibly similar to how are use my iPhone or my iPad is very much appreciated.
ironically, my love or interest for iphones started w the touch id and fluidity i found in the OG iphone SE :3
i appreciate the gestures and all, and really like using my iPhone 12 mini as a secondary “home phone” i reminded about my old SE (and how i shouldn’t have sold it for sentimentality’s sake lol)
Liked hearing ur experience in this video though! ❤
Gotta say I’m still happy with my 8 plus with a new battery. Still does all I want and yes, I love the 16:9 screen with no notch getting in the way!
As an SE 2 user (since it came out, to this day) I definitely agree with Drew here.
The display is both the best and worst part of the phone, it’s 16:9, which makes recording videos very pleasing to do, the same thing goes for watching videos, as you never need to pinch to zoom as the video fits the display 95% of the times.
Performance is not really an issue yet.
Battery life is… bad. With a new battery it’s almost decent, but with a 77% like me or drew, it’s pretty bad.
Camera is totally ok, unfortunately it doesn’t have night mode.
The biggest problem for me, is the cramped display tho, it’s tiny and with such big bezels, it not only looks pretty dated, but it’s almost uncomfortable.
Another bug issue are the (lack of) gestures, which makes the device _feel_ slow.
Oh man this is going to be great! Thanks drew!
Was I first
ive used for it a good amount of time this year it isnt that bad it supports the latest version and you will get updates and it performs really well
I have the SE 3 I don’t mind the size it’s fits perfectly for me and within my budget too the battery has been great and I really love it
How many hours?
after a year you wont say that
@@axeleliaslucerocastro1328 The battery last a day to a day and a half l don’t do a lot on my phone so the battery lasts long enough for me
@@heika1582 I don’t know why people want me to have a bad experience with my phone but I don’t care what people think or say I love my phone it’s perfect for me I have never been a person who was into fancy things so all the other stuff that is on the other iPhones don’t really matter to me and if anyone who reads this can’t understand or except that I enjoy my phone that’s on you not me I wish that people would stop and think for a minute if you like what you have would you want somebody telling you that you are wrong for enjoying something that you like
I feel like one of the only reasons to own an SE3 aside from “5G” is if you like the perfectly rectangular screen and would want to use it for as long as possible with updates to it for as long as possible. So really from about 2026 to 2028 it will hold true that the SE3 will be the last and only rectangular screened iPhone that is supported by the newest iOS. (The expected iOS support is 6 years so the SE2 will end support around 2026 and SE3 around 2028
I'll probably buy the SE3 when its on big discount I bought the SE2 for now since it was on a big discount
I have SE2022 since release and I love it..the only thing I miss going from iPhone 11 is gestures..it would be so nice to have similiar gesture control option like touchID ipads have
My gran’s old iPhone 6 was in performance management at 99% health… results will vary. It only helped for another few months before the phone started shutting down at up to 86% charge so she upgraded to the SE 2
There are pros and cons to the SE 2 compared to the gesture based newer iPhones. Touch ID is amazing and I prefer it to Face ID. Then ironic you mentioned the flashlight on the lock screen as I hate that and the camera icons on the lock screen as I've unintentionally activated them several times. I do agree the display is a bit outdated, but it works well which is why people love the SE lineup. The battery also could be better, but if you get a battery case, you can easily get 8-9 hours of screen on time which should last a day. With the display too, I find using the zoomed display helps me see it better. Then there's the price, finding one for $100-$160 makes this an excellent value considering it'll likely get 3-4 more years at least on support. Is it perfect? No, but when you get the same iOS experience for much less, it kind of balances the cons out. Though ultimately it comes down to your preferences. I wish they'd release an SE plus model with the same size but with a full screen and Touch ID on the power button to get rid of the bezels. If Apple did that and put in a bigger battery while keeping the price down it would be a best seller immediately.
3:46 it’s actually swipe up and across to the right for multitasking, no need to swipe up and hold
I hate big phones. I love the SE3. Perfect small size for my pocket, great performance chipset, 5G, and I still much prefer the home button with touch ID over face ID
I have been a regular user of IPhone SE 2020. My company gave it to me, and since there was lockdown and I wasn’t going out, I made it my primary phone.
I liked it. It was snappy and fast. Touch ID helped. The camera is underrated in my opinion. For a single lens phone cam, this still produces really good and sharp and natural looking photos. It’s comparable to iPhone 11’s. The absence of other lenses? Well, I wasn’t missing what I never had haha!
The battery though. Horrible and not acceptable by any means. For a first few months I could get by (plus being at home under lockdown helped). But the battery health plummeted rather quick. Sitting today at 82%.
The point is, it offered all the essentials and the basics without leaving me frustrated.
Only three months back, I upgraded to iPhone 14 (regular), making iPhone SE 2020 now my work phone.
it's obviously more difficult to switch from a newer iphone to something like the iphone se, but i's a clean design, and theres nothing really wrong with it. i know a few people who have it, and it doesnt really slow down for them and can manage most tasks fine.
You can use the swipe up gesture with the SE even though you have a home button I am sure.... or am I mistaken here? I remember being able to toggle between apps with my old iPhone 7 that way....?
The difference between the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 8 or iPhone SE is the shape of the display and how much longer the iPhone 12 and 12 mini are compared to that 16 x 9 aspect ratio. The extra real estate we get outside of the 16 x 9 aspect ratio area with the iPhone 13 really allows for a lot more Fluidity in the design of the software. Because you have that space it feels natural to have icons below or above. What would be the 16 x 9 aspect ratio space on the screen so when you go back to an iPhone 8 or an iPhone SE which only has the area of a 16 x 9 aspect ratio screen, it is going to feel cramped even though you may have had the iPhone 8 plus back in the day they gain it does it feel cramped and your iPhone 13+ might be the same size technically as the iPhone 8 plus but you have that larger screen, which takes up more surface area than the traditional 16 x 9 aspect ratio it’s also because modern versions of iOS are made for this newer type of screen and there’s newer shape of the screen and therefore you’re taking software and firmware that is built for a screen that is supposed to be longer than a 16 x 9 aspect ratio and basically shoving it up from the bottom and down from the top to fit into the 16 x 9 aspect ratio when it’s really supposed to fit in a screen that looks like the iPhone 13 or iPhone 14 or anything since the iPhone X so yeah you’re cramping in an iPhone X screen into a different aspect ratio
Too long / too rambling dude
Really wish there was an SE Plus in the 8 Plus design
I actually like the se, I have one just chilling here and sometimes I like using it because of the design, my main phone is the 12 mini
I don’t get why Apple refuses to make the SE a single lens 12 mini. Would pull crazy sales at 549. If someone can tell me a good reason against my wish I’d be glad to learn something new.
That’s not too far off from the current Mini specs and pricing anyway. I would expect such a model with newer specs in a year or two. But for now they would rather sell whatever 12/ 13 minis they still have.
I still need another SE with iPhone 8 design. I’m in love with my SE 2020.
And I hate iPhone X and above design.
Detailed video 🙌🏽🙌🏽👏🏼
I’m thinking of buying this for my mom…she’s used to this size/form factor. Currently she’s using Samsung M01.
i feel the same way. i honestly love the size. i love the bezels. i love the home button. but damn, i just swipe here and there using my xr and it’s such a great experience (honestly gesture control is one of the major reasons tying me down to ios). and so even if i’ve though a lot about “upgrading” to an se 3, i probably will just end up with an 11. side note: i’m bothered by pwm so anything oled is nope.
love this phone for work. i only need to take pictures of products and the quantity. super useful little device, battery life is crap but considering how little i need to use it most days its not a big deal
IMO if you want to make full use of modern iOS interface, then you should avoid the thick bezel iPhones as the 16:9 aspect ratio would crop out some menus, especially the force touch menus.
Can you use it and get notifications form far away/2-5 hours form your
IPhone 11 and Apple Watch SE with cellular data?
I very much prefer the bigger screens because they help me to make fewer typos while typing, I could never go for an SE, but if I did it would be the SE 3.
Why? The only difference is 5G, right?
Well, I’m sure you know it’s got a 2-year-newer chip and 33% more RAM. Those are significant features, but maybe not significant enough to spend an extra $50-100.
However, less often brought up, it’s got a ~10% larger battery capacity, the newer chip is more efficient and can last longer on that battery, and if you’re buying from a reseller that doesn’t replace batteries you’ll get much better battery health on a year-old phone than on a 3-year-old phone.
Anyway, as an aside, love that you advocate for people to buy phones that do what they need rather than always buying the phone with the biggest numbers on it. Yes, for a device that most people use multiple times every day, it can be worth it to spend a few extra hundred every several years to get the most out of your phone - but only it you’re actually gonna use those features. Why spend $200 more for an iPhone Pro if you can’t tell the difference in ProMotion, won’t be using the telephoto lens, and don’t care for the gimmick of the year that’ll be standard on the next one?
not to mention Apple's telephoto and UW lenses can't fight against Chinese brands
The gestures on the iphone remind me of BB10 and at the time that was revolutionary. People just weren't ready for it
This made me think about all the rumors flying around about the whatever SE gen that could possibly come next and lots of them are like "the iPhone XR body" and i don't know if that's really wise... Like sure they are going to use an older design and that one makes sense but we already have an iPhone with a 6.1 inch display so idk, even though it won't have the same price for those who aren't into tech they won't see the difference beyond cameras possibly and few things here and there.
So it got me thinking, the smartest choice would be either choose the mini chassis OR the iPhone X chassis, they are somewhat small which is something that has always been on brand for the iPhone SE lineup. But who knows what they're coming up with. Sometimes i'd like to switch to a smaller phone because we do carry bricks with us😂
what you take for psoriasis i need something!!
The SE 2 is my daily driver and the 13 pro I just use vor banking Apps.
I think it’s epic. Flawless system. Feels great in the hand. I think it has it all.
Would be interesting to see your reaction on using SE 2016 😂. I tried it myself this year, and it really made me rethink on how I spend my time when I am using the phone. I figured out that you can live with the bare minimum. But this phone is for sure very outdated…
Same, used my wife’s old SE 2016 in August when my 11 Pro screen broke. The phone was still fast enough to live with, but that battery life I couldn’t even believe LOL watch one YT video on max brightness and drain like 20-45% probably!
I want to say the battery health is in the 70s so that doesn’t help. She uses the SE 2020 as her daily and even that had garbage battery from day 1, but aside for that she loves it and is hesitant to try a larger screen and losing the home button (that said, she is pretty set on the 13 mini being the next upgrade)
@@Weather_Nerd My SE gen2 gets 16 hours of battery. If people are complaining about that, they're clearly addicted to their phones. 75 minute charge too. Don't know why someone would need better!
The only thing that prevents this phone from getting a 10/10 for a normal guy like me is a better battery. Otherwise it’s a 7.5/10 for me honestly. I’ve been daily driving this since 2020.
Isn’t it easier to crop the video within Final Cut rather than edit it on the phone?
I’d still be rocking an se2 but unfortunately I destroyed the camera by mounting it to my motorcycle.. so between that, battery being shot and finding a 13 pro at a killer price, I retired the se. I still miss the home bottom. I ride a motorcycle everywhere and Face ID is a no go with a helmet. I also prefer a more compact phone and I’m generally fine with bezels. Easier to hold, less accidental touches..
The 13 pro is great but its pretty large.. so less pocketable.. and otherwise i just dont feel like it gave me anything i was missing. the 120hz screen is great, same for the cameras.. but for day to day use, the se would still suit me fine.. and i use my phone all day for work! calls, video chats, pictures, social media, looking things up real quick, ect. my phone is very much my main computer! writing this on an ipad mini4, and ive got a 2015 macbook 12".. so the phone is by far my most powerful computer lol
Watching this with my Iphone SE 2020.
I still use the iPhone 8 it’s the A11 not much different from the SE 2 & 3 except 5G and some software locked features but my iPad 9th with A13 has all the software features so not really bothered that my iPhone 8 doses have a lot of iOS 16 features
I have the iPhone SE 2 actually, it's my first iPhone
I just got my iPhone SE 2 yesterday a black 128 GB
whats better the SE or the iphone 8 plus
Lol yeah I still use one as my work phone to this day...email can get laggy as hell but I like the button!
Me watching while I still have my SE2 which I pre ordered when it was released 🙄🙄
I’ve had my iPhone SE 2020 since it came out. I always feel out of Synce with everyone else. Maybe because I have FOMO. But I don’t mind it, it’s just small, very small display.
To be completely honest with you the smartphone is supposed to be a tool to help you get work done and stuff like that but these days that’s not even a thing anymore people are like no I’ll just take whatever I get for granted which is a bad thing but there’s nothing that can change that so yeah
I bought a cheap SE as a modern jailbreakable phone since the newer iPhone like the 14/15 can't be jailbreaked
i lost my iphone 12 when i went camping a couple weeks ago been using a se since and it’s so weird using it still
I struggle using my phone too much. I regret the 13 instead of the se3. But my provider offer the 128gig 13 at $10 a month and the 64gig se3 and $25 a month 😢
I think I’m going to buy this phone early next year for traveling and just to get it out of my system
What I recommend to people is ANY iPhone with a centered logo.
iPhone SE plus that’s what I need
watching this with my other iphone se 2
im surprised you hate the button so much. still got my ip8 because i refuse to buy lightning again after 2018. but my work phone is samsung and i find the gentures sluggish, so unless android/samsung oneui does gestures so much worse i quite surprised to hear you say that.
iPhone gestures are perfect
@@TailosiveTech is android/ any different? Better or worse? Also your wrong, home button superiority👑
I recently tried using iPhone SE for 30 days
I am using SE3 after 13pro… ITS SO COMFORTABLE PHONE 😅
OG SE, I still believe in you!
I had this before I got my 15 pro max and it’s really bad. I can’t ever go back to the iphone 8 design again.
“At a woods” lol made me laugh
I swapped my 12 mini with my mums SE3.
I haven’t missed the extra screen height, at all.
The camera pics are richer thanks to HDR4. Because if this the screen looks a bit better.
Not sure why he’s using an SE2 not an SE3.
Money
@valanchan You like the SE 3 more than the 12 mini? I was thinking of switching to a 12 mini from an SE 2020.
i have the xs max, going to keep it till it gets dropped by iOS
Its a great phone I had it for 2 years but in 2022 I upgraded to the 13 and I could never go back
My first iPhone was the iPhone SE and I had no problem with it everything was easier
Best sub-$150 option on the market. BY FAR. You gotta remember, this phone competes with the likes of the Moto G pure
Drew I actually just sold my 13 pro for money when the 15 comes out and went back to the xs,I actually got inspired by you to do that, I don’t remember if you remember me commenting on the original video of you going back to the x, I know I’m just one person but I love these videos about ur time downgrading because I feel like I’m doing it with u !!
Congratulations! Thanks for watching!
Watching this on an iPod touch
Try using the iphone xs max.. can you try it😢
Jail breaking is extremely difficult and at the point of buying a iPhone why jailbreak anyway? U pay for the experience. To me, jail breaking is more time consuming than it's worth...
good day
Apple/Steve Jobs established the kind of brand manipulation that would embed on (Apple)consumers thinking that for one "bigger screen is better" , and so on. But really, and realistically the SE is superior and what all users just need in their life. The pro are just used to give a sense of luxury but no real advantage. Having a pro does not make your life and work productivity better than what an SE can do.
To be fair to the peak performance versus battery health argument, Apple got a lot of flack for slowing down phones with lower battery health which for the majority is usually older phones that experienced it first and because Apple got a lot of flack for that which really was as Joe Rogan said a very dirty move on Apple‘s part, even if it was to preserve battery life like they said it was, or if it was with the people that actually believed to be planned obsolescence it was still very dirty for Apple to do that without telling people. So I think what we’re seeing here is that Apple has in the past few years, tried to slowly get away from that because of how sour it made iPhone and iPad users, especially those that were using older iPhones and older iPads for longer periods of time and allowing their phones to get down to that 90% or 80% or 70% battery health which in the older firmware is what caused the phones to slow down to supposedly as Apple said save battery life by lowering performance
Everyone screams how they want worse phones with inferior specs yet never buy them. Or if only they would make it even MORE niche it would be perfect.
Now please switch to an 8 Plus, that would be an interesting take👍🏻
The swiping navigation was not invented by Apple, they copied it from BlackBerry 10.
The complaints about a physical button making sounds so ludicrous.
iphone se is deff my fav and ive only had two phone iphone 7 which i had for 3 years and now iphone se the old design is really nice and i have small hands lol
edit: and its a lot cheaper
They didn’t reinvent it, they took it from palm os
another deal breaker for me: tap to wake
So what country are you going to?
You’ll see 😉
@@TailosiveTech hey how’s my favorite tech ma’am doing?

Hello Drew! Perhaps you can give your father-in law your iPad since you have mentioned several times that you're not really using the iPad anymore. Just a thought. I should have asked this question on the EV channel but.....what are your thoughts about Musk buying GM?
My father in law doesn’t want an iPad 🤣 and GM isn’t worth buying
bruh I just want my dynastic island lol
Off to find a video where someone knows how to summarize their thoughts...
Instead of the SE Plus they should make the "Mini" the new SE.
Maybe bring back that iPhone 5 design like the original iPhone SE and just have an iPhone 8 size, iPhone SE, and an iPhone, SE mini
@@velvetrooster5569 But they look like smartphones from 10 years ago. Apple should just go for only all screen smartphones like everyone else.
@@GreatOne0815 They already have sense the iPhone X
atleast no greenline in se
