      yeah, tech youtubers forget normal people just buy one phone every 1-3 years and without comparison, as long as the screen isn't extraordinarily bad (and they aren't on any phone since last couple of years), they don't really care if they have galaxy ultra kind of screen or just mediocre SE screen. Netflix is Netflix on any phone. It's media what counts not the screen

The point of all channels on UA-cam is, in addition to success, answering important questions and learning new information every day. Even the number of subscribers is not the most important, but the content of the video is. Also, I consider it a kind of talent, it may be true that everyone can be a youtuber, but not everyone can record a good and quality video, extract reliable information from the video and so on. You are that talent, just keep going and millions of views and subscribers are waiting for you.👍

    Thanks! You are the only youtuber who honestly bought forth how bad the battery life is on this phone. I've owned the 6s, and it was the same story for that phone within a year. Charging twice was the minimum requirement to get me through the day. And I immediately concluded that it would be the same with this new iphone with upgraded specs( if not, only a little better ).

    I have had the se 2020 for around 3 months and I love it. I was someone who would get by on sub £200 androids and get a replacement after 2 years. This is the first I phone I’ve had and I love it! I had to adjust to the smaller screen but the trade off is worth it. It’s so smooth (never had any stutter or lag), camera is very good and battery for me isn’t too bad, Lasts me a good day and a half with light usage. Also I think the speakers are very decent volume and I watch a lot of Netflix and UA-cam on it.

    great 5 month look back mark! agree with battery life, it may be good on the early days of the phone, but using it for years, that's where it might hurt a little bit. the only thing that i could see as an advantage for now is the current work from home setup of most people these days, the need for a "whole day battery life" might not be that needed for now, you can always charge your phone whenever you need to, like mine, that is currently sitting on the desk, charging as i work. lol. still loving this phone!!

      It's also (usually, maybe not right now) fairly trivial to get an affordable and official battery replacement from Apple directly, which will keep the phone going strong for a few years after a replacement. Assuming the SE gets 5-6 years of updates, one or two battery replacements ($100 total, $49 for each replacement) would suffice.
