Not me watching on the original SE! It’s so small, lightweight. Has Apple Pay, can handle GPS, Apple Music, most apps. I got a security update in late January of 2024. My battery health is 88% works great. 64GB. I don’t play games, don’t have social media. So, it’ll last me most of the day. I love how small it is, Touch ID works great. Fast. This iPhone is more than useable for the low key user in 2024. Also, my cell phone bill is $60 and that’s the best part of this all. No leasing, no monthly phone payments, etc. I have a fast Wi-Fi at home, so no problems plus full 4G bars. Works great.

Just buy one, not expected it used to browsing internet, watching KZbin or something, just to do phone calls and satisfy my nostalgia. And I have to say, I love the overall look of it, the Apple's style is the one you can't miss out.

Uff, everyone complains in those SE1st Gen. videos about the battery. And nobody talks about that You can replace it (with even a better one 2100 mAh) pretty easy to do ❤

[@bama6832]

Don't be fooled by their false marketing. Cheap chinese battery technology is not better than what apple could offer in 2016. The original battery size is 1624 mAh, which is upgradeable to 1800 mAh due to the slighter larger batteries that are offered today. I would still recommend using the original 1624 mAh battery as this allows the battery to expand under heat, something the larger batteries won't allow as they take up all of the space.

[@Dr904]

@@billyoloo2378 There's a BIG difference between "manufactured in china" and "designed in china"! When, let's say, a US corporation make orders for components from China. That corporation will hold the Chinese manufacturer accountable for the quality of the products. Reassuring a high level of quality control. But when the same Chinese corporation are the designer, manufacturer, exporter. etc. The same level of quality control does not exist. Especially when it comes to components like batteries, where they can easily get away with selling lower quality products. Because a bad battery might actually work well for a few months, but then quickly deteriorate. But at that point it's too late for you to get your money back.

Loved my SE it did get laggy so upgraded to 12 mini but still find it too big. I kept the SE, swapped the battery, glad to still have it. Not my daily driver but a pleasure to pick it up and appreciate it's perfection.. Still useful these days. Sadly missing 5G, sometimes a little laggy and poorer camera. Sticking the camera out the back since the SE just an awful idea I doubt Jobs would have allowed. I would rather have it same thickness all over a put a bigger battery in. The 3.5mm jack back too. Brilliant.

I own one of these phones. I bought it from my friend in 2022. It was very cheap, costing only $26. I still love it until now! It is one of my favorite phones. When I bought it, the battery still had 99% of its health value and the appearance was well preserved. It is rose gold in color and has 32gb of storage. Although it is a bit small, I just like its compactness.

[@walkingwithshadows]

In two previous jobs I was given an iPhone 5S as a work phone. Rather than take a 6.5" monster that I was offered in my current job (after testing one for a couple of months) I just took the SIM and purchased a refurb SE. (About 90€) a couple of months ago. It ticks lots of boxes for a work phone. The best (touch) smartphone form factor ever (at least for a work device). Headphone socket. Supports MS Company Portal. Decent user interface. Cheap. (And I already had cases, etc.) I certainly wouldn't buy any other Apple device, and I think it would take a lot of searching to find an Android device that comes close. (Headphone sockets are easy to find, but a sensibly small one for work with a clean UI and a new enough OS is tricky). For its purpose, I'm really happy with it. (I wouldn't use it as a personal phone, Pixel 2 with a custom ROM was the nicest I have had recently - very different requirements obviously).

[@ChrisForanForan]

I really love my new IPhone SE third generation and the older IPhone 5s from the good old year of 2013

It feels more premium than any iPhone after it (material wise), i use it as a secondary device and mp3 player.. . After the battery swap its been lovely to carry around again

[@vevenaneathna]

daily drove my iphone 5 until a couple years ago when they turned off 3g. carried around a 4glte modem for awhile until i got an old cosmetically rough 2016 se. melted out a corner in an old iphone 5s case and installed the se components into it. turned off every privacy and data sharing settings and my phone looses like 8% per day in standby and lasts for around 10 hrs of screen on time. replaced the battery and screen every year or so and the parts cost about 2$ each if you buy them in 3 packs

It will run slow on a bad battery. You can replace it yourself, it is not hard to open this phone. I am on my 3rd battery now (I use the phone a lot) and since it is using a lower resolution screen, it still feels snappy and the battery life is not that bad.

[@offworldangel]

I’m using this as my secondary device. My main one is a 13 Mini. “Almost” the same size

[@seemoremacstuff]

Quite frankly I’m glad this phone doesn’t have water proofing. It makes it ultra easy to open these up and replace the battery when you don’t have to deal with adhesive. Being as even the newest of these phones are fairly old these days most probably need new batteries.

[@m1lohaan]

I use this phone to play my games since I don’t like to keep charging my main phones because the battery. My SE has 74% max capacity and it has very bad battery life so when I play games it stays on the charger, it runs relatively fast for its age. Don’t really care about running games at the highest graphics ever so it doesn’t bother me, the screen is pretty small though but I adjusted easily.

[@7Just20Mike3]

I got this on auction for 25 ..very impressed much better than 6s i have 2 iphone 6s that majorly lag with speed and updates still i cant update those however SE took like under 2 minutes it was lightning fast for the 15.8.1 , which to me is pretty current software for what i need , battery health was low and kept shutting down so i bought a tiny tool kit and battery under 10 ...and replaced it works great now best little phone i ever had i like the size so i can take it fishing throw it in tackle box or whatever ...i do recommend these

[@baconberries8097]

If they made this exact phone, same internals and everything, only with USB c, I'd never buy another phone again! This was the last iPhone i had, way back in middle school now. I slipped on my bike in winter and landed on it in my pocket, the entire chassis was bent, you could see the backlight between the side and the screen, and it still fucking worked! I've mostly just been using my dad's old androids ever since. Maybe a usb c mod is possible? I haven't found anything on it.

[@juangal7569]

I sincerely wish Apple would bring back this type of design and size of a phone. I'm an android guy, but this would seriously make me consider buying an Apple product. Gotta have a headphone jack tho, bring the back, just bring an option for it! I actually like the notches and the bezels, it's just a great design. It's just a shame they might not make small phones like this size nowadays, it's all large screens which is obviously good to have, but it's no longer a surprise. The max phones now peaked is 6 9 inch screens until it reaches tablet size. This iPhone is my favorite, 2nd is the iPhone 7 for all the build up it brought.

[@carolh-rosario4761]

In 2024 if you aren’t expecting too much for this phone, I don’t see why not to buy this phone in 2024, it can still run the newest versions of apps and it can still make phone calls and texts, although the processor is a bit outdated compared to modern iPhones, but for 40-80 bucks I see why not to buy it especially if your a budget.

I bought my new battery two years ago and it’s still amazing. The brand is Powercell and it has 2100 mAh. It comes along with the screwdriver and stuff. But before you do it watch a yt video for the procedure. It’s very easy to do. For other parts to replace I just have a second SE laying around as a donor.
