The editors didn't like
Older giant-bezel design and limited screen size are love-it-or-hate-it. Hardware hasn't changed since its 2016 debut
Tired design
Old
Old screen technology
Rattling home key
Small screen (in comparison to what else is out there today)
Front-facing camera is old and low resolution (again
Small size will suit a certain audience, Feature set means plenty of power, Accessible price point
Not a new design, Small size won't be for all - can feel crammed on screen, No 3D Touch, 1.2MP front camera, No MIMO Wi-Fi
The iPhone SE is a great smartphone that brings plenty of power in a small package. It's designed to appeal to those who aren't fussed by today's typically large flagship phones.If you don't want a larger iPhone then the SE is a no-brainer. It's faster in...

The big-screen iPhones get all the attention, but there remains a solid core of Apple fans who prefer something a little smaller. The small-handed among us have been neglected for two years, so the launch of the iPhone SE 2 will be an important event - an...

One of the only 4in phones available, Lengthy battery life, Still attractive, Fast
Screen feels outdated and disappointing, Lacking advanced camera features
Despite its age, Apple's smaller iPhone is still a heavyweight when it comes to performance and value. It's also one of the only smaller phones you can get your hands on...

Notably, it looks and feels just like the iPhone 5s before it. It didn't get slimmer, or more round, but we kind of dig it. There's something novel about maintaining a tried-and-true design motif while overhauling everything within. Indeed, that's exactly...
The iPhone SE's biggest draw is its size – and I know, that's obvious. But if it weren't for the fact it's so easily operated one-handed, it would be impossible to see why Apple made this phone at all, The smaller size definitely feels great in the hand a
The design of the phone isn't ‘iconic' – it's dated. There's no reason Apple couldn't have created a smaller version of the iPhone 6S other than saving money – while that cost has been passed onto the consumer, it would have been amazing to see a new phon
With the iPhone SE, Apple's fixed a big problem: price. Given the internals on offer here, this would have been close to a perfect phone if it weren't for a few glaring omissions.Firstly, we needed a new design for this to be seen as the next step in the...

A9 processor makes it as fast as iPhone 6s, Sleek portable chassis, Affordable (by iPhone standards), Easy to use onehanded, Similar camera to iPhone 6s
No 3D Touch or other exciting flagship features, First generation Touch ID, Same frontfacing camera as iPhone 5s
It was about time Apple updated its 4-inch iPhone line (and there remain a few of us whose small hands and pockets will appreciate this more portable design), and this is a sensible refresh of a much-loved product. We'd forgotten about just how nice it is...
Amazing Performance, Excellent Camera, Great Battery Life, Market-Leading Ecosystem, Portable
Design is looking a bit old these days, Display isn't great, Might be a bit pricy for some, 16GB model is pointless
I gave the iPhone SE a bit of a hard time in this review. I said it costs way too much and was mean about the display and the phone not looking any different to iPhones from 2012. And I stand by this point: Apple could — and probably should — charge less...
