The editors didn't like
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
Older giant-bezel design and limited screen size are love-it-or-hate-it. Hardware hasn't changed since its 2016 debut
Needs a new design
No 32GB option
No expandable storage
No 3D Touch
Screen still low res
Front cam still 1.2MP
Contrast could be better
Audio lacks in dynamics and subtlety
Expensive
It's a fingerprint magnet
Not as enticing as the S7 Edge
Very small screen
Edges are hard on hands
Looks like an iPhone 5 or 5S
Selfie camera isn't great
No expandable storage or removable battery
Design is looking a bit old these days
Display isn't great
Might be a bit pricy for some
16GB model is pointless
Average screen
Poor front-facing camera
No 3D Touch or other exciting flagship features
First generation Touch ID
Same frontfacing camera as iPhone 5s
Only 1.2MP front camera
Average battery life
Might be too small
No 3D touch
Not a new design
Small size won't be for all - can feel crammed on screen

Abstract: Up until the release of the iPhone SE in April, if you wanted an iPhone but were put off by the increasing trend in handset sizes like the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, the aged iPhone 5S or 5C were your only options. Similarly, if you already owned one these two...

There's a good chance that if you're reading this you're sold on Apple, or tempted by the iPhone SE's affordable price. If it's the latter can we also direct your attention to our best budget handsets under £200 feature?Despite the iPhone 6S racking up mo...

A winning combination of restraint and power The best iPhone SE—the 64GB model—costs about $500. In most ways, it's just as good as the iPhone 6s, which comes in at $749 for the 64GB variant. Yes, you're getting a much smaller phone with a design fr...

Abstract: Small-fingered smartphone users rejoice – Apple has finally released a new 4in iPhone. Yet apart from a rose gold colour, the iPhone SE looks almost identical to the 2013 5s. There are plenty of differences, as well as similarities, between the two phones...
Abstract: APPLE'S NEW iPhone SE is the firm's smallest, yet most powerful smartphone to date, and is aimed at those in the market for a pint-sized handset at an equally pint-sized price. Besides its dinky 4in screen, the iPhone SE features similar specs to the iPh...
Apple has this habit of doing things that at first seem retrospective but ultimately make perfect sense, such as its decision to bring out the iPad Pro 9.7in device after revealing a 12.9in version months earlier. It makes perfect sense, so much sense tha...

oneday battery, good rear camera, decent screen, easy to hold, easy to fit in a pocket, fits in existing iPhone 5 accessories
very small screen, edges are hard on hands, looks like an iPhone 5 or 5S, selfie camera isn't great, no expandable storage or removable battery
The iPhone SE is one of the best of the very few small phones still available. It would be a significant downgrade from an iPhone 6, isn't a quantum leap over the iPhone 5S and should only really be considered if size is the overriding factor.It might mak...
