For the price, whether it's an IPad or IPhone, you are getting flagship specs and top of the line software. The IPhone SE might have an LCD Screen, but like Ken explained it's a better and sharper screen. Also it has Flagship Performance and Camera Quality.

    Thanks for speaking out on how the design for this phone is still relevant on 2022! Some people like me, we don’t really care about having the latest design. We just want something that works. For me, I bought the SE2020 because I was in dire need of a new phone. I play games on my phone, and ofc the battery dies out very quickly, but other than that, it has been very impressive! Two years flew by like a blink. This is such a great review, thanks!

    Omg a tech video that doesn't crap all over the SE 😲 So many reviews take points off b/c it doesn't have face ID, OLED, no bezels, etc but that is exactly why most people buy an SE. All y'all who want face ID and new design have plenty of options, the SE is for the rest of us. I have the SE 2 now and just ordered the SE 3 for 5g & bigger battery and I'm super excited to get it. OLED phones give me headaches and nausea, face ID has just never worked well for me either so I'm really happy Apple still makes a good touch ID phone with LCD.

    The reason why I bought the SE model is due to the fingerprint. I honestly HATE the faceID, it never works when I'm wearing the face mask even after the last update, and it fails most of the time even when I'm not wearing the mask and I need to enter manually the PIN. The worst part is when it works, and you still need to swipe up to unlock the phone.... it's so inconvenient. With the fingerprint, you press the button and that's it.

All I see is these dumb UA-camrs comparing it with 900-$1300 phones like "this $400 phone has massive bezzels, while this $1200 one has a perfect AMOLED bezeless 1440p display, this $400 only has one camera, while this $1000 has 3-4 cameras!"

    You hit it on the head. I traded my 11 Pro Max in for a 13 Pro Max and was largely underwhelmed. The body was uncomfortable to hold and the cameras weren't as big of an improvement as I expected. I'm a casual shooter, so I hardly ever use anything besides the standard lens. ProMotion was sick, but it wasn't enough to justify $1400. I returned it and got a 128GB SE. So far, after adjusting to the bezels and overall smaller size, I've been loving it. Extremely small and lightweight (even with a case), performance has been blazing, battery life is acceptable if not exemplary, and the software trickery at play with the cameras yields a larger improvement over the 2020 SE than many would think.

Something many reviewers tend to have lost. Thy want the latest and greatest with all the bells and whistles. They forget about the people who wants just a good cheap phone that will work well for years to come. I have a 12 pro max and only because I am a fairly large person and have issues pressing stuff on such a small screen. Plus have a hard time reading off a small screen.

    Additionally, I do not want face ID and prefer touch ID which doesn't exist on home button-less iPhones. I'm hoping in 5-7 years when I change phones again that Apple has brought back the home button, or at least engineered a way to use touch ID without the home button.

I do miss an audio jack and a slot for micro sd cards, but I’m very clever and have been adapting already. Also coming from using a phone with a quad camera, the SE’s pictures are actually a lot better even in dim light and front facing camera!

    I would like to see the iPhone SE with a notchless, bezel less, punch hole display. The reason I say notchless is because I feel since the SE is the cheaper version of the iPhone lineup, it doesn't require all those sensors present in the 12s and 13s. So the phone would be 5.4 inches with a punch hole camera, 1080p display, decent battery, a14 chip inside and even 4g would do. This way the name Special Edition would mean something

    For the price, I wouldn't complain about the vintage iPhone 6/7/8 design on the modern SE. Apple always future proofs their hardware for 5 years or longer. The iPhone 6S is still getting software upgrades. And for those users still using the old models, eventually to a point where parts to repair them are too expensive, the new SE is a perfect option and/or transition to upgrade to a phone with a familiar design (no need to tamper with muscle memory) with new internal guts to last long going forward.
    Older accessories can be reused on the new SE. And using an LCD over OLED not only helps the SE have a longer battery life (especially now that the 2022 SE has 5G), it helps users not have to deal with pulse-width modulation.

In analyzing the minimalist effect of the light phone which some enjoy due to an over-saturation of technology, my realisation is the Apple knew the exact moment to go retro for technological detoxing and that the antithesis of innovation, oddly, propels humanism and allows us to take a step back and appreciate this paradigm!

    I've had the 2020 SE for just about a year now, and I really love it. I bought it shortly after getting my first MacBook because I wanted to get into that EcOsYsTeM after seeing how lovely MacOS was to use. I'm not a power user, and I've never owned the flagship phones. This phone does everything I want it to to be honest. It was cheap, I has really good build quality (I know people say that the design is boring and out-dated looking, but you can't deny that the phone is really well build; clicky buttons, good materials, and the best vibration motor I've had in a phone), the camera is just fine for me, and since I dont really use my phone that much it can easily last me through the day. But most importantly, it lets me do all the cool apple-exclusive stuff like airdropping, copy and pasting between my phone and mac (that feature still blows my mind a little bit lol) and so on. I think a lot of reviewers find this phone boring or underwhelming, but that's clearly because they're all comparing it to the iPhone 13 or other newer iPhones. If you're coming from a mid-range android phone like me, I think you'll be very satisfied. This phone isn't really meant to be bought by people who already own an iPhone X, XR, 11 or something like that, It's for people with a 7 or older, or people who've never had an Iphone before who want's to try out the iOS experience. It's definitely got me hooked, and I'm positive my next phone will be an Iphone as well.

The SE 2020 fits me perfectly. I don't really have anything to compare it to as I had a flip phone before. The camera is fine for me, but as I use it more, I do wish it had more of a zoom than it does. Still, it's a great phone, especially for a newby the Smart phones. As this phone becomes obsolete due to lack of IOS upgrades, then I will probably try an SE 2022.

  • @jeffreyrainey1015
    @jeffreyrainey1015 Місяць тому

    It's old man rant time. I lived and died by the original 4 inch iPhone design, and still resent companies for going big. I used my first generation iPhone SE as my primary phone for as long as I could, until significant apps like Uber and MLB began to protest. I hated the design of the iPhone 6 when it first came out a decade ago, as it was thinner and curved, as opposed to a square slab. For that reason I admire the 12 mini and 13 mini for going back to that look, making the phone feel smaller, even though it is narrower and longer. With that being said, I still prefer the home button and a smaller screen size on the SE. And even then, it took me a while to get used to the fact that the home button is not a tactile button anymore, but rather a cut out on your screen or case which then responds with haptic feedback. It's a simulation of a home button, despite the 3 intensity levels, and no one is going to tell me otherwise. Another critique is that the vibrator has become increasingly weaker in iPhones, as nerds push for haptic feedback. In the future, I could get used
    to having no home button, but my problem is that there is no other choice because phone makers said "Because I told you so." And I
    wonder how much of the demand for large, edge to edge screens was actual consumer demand, rather than tech companies getting bored.
    But back to reality and ending on a positive note: Despite my bitching I agree with you. The selling point of the iPhone SE is the pairing of a 10+ year old design (previously hated), coupled with the upgraded internals. That is why I bought it and will hold onto it, replacing the battery before investing in a new handset.
    Just as the current SE is an upgraded iPhone 8, I wonder if a fourth generation will be an upgraded 13 mini. And please, Apple, go all out with the colours.

I like it, and look forward to learning how to extract every feature in this tiny dinosaur of a iPhone. I've already got a waterproof case for it. Something more to grab on too. I just wish they would've incorporated night mode to the camera this time. I see that some prototypes of the new SE will not have a hepatic home button. That's really ashame. A lot of us think that's one of it's best features. My iPhone 7 was a training ground for ME. (a used one never activated) surprising audio for a small/thin design.
