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

The iPhone SE isn't an awful phone. If you've been staring off into the distance singing “someday my tiny phone will come” then you can stop. This is it. The best phone under 4 inches currently available.But how long will that last? In September, Apple wi...

Powerful for the price, Excellent 12MP camera & 4K, Easy to recommend
Needs a new design, No 32GB option, No expandable storage
The iPhone SE certainly isn't a ground-breaker, but it is a solid attempt at building a 4-inch smartphone that doesn't compromise on features (and after all, who really, really needs 3D Touch?). It is a little puzzling why Apple didn't do just a li...
Just as powerful as the iPhone 6S, Cheap for the specs, Superb camera, Cute, retro design, Easy to hold and use one-handed
4-inch screen is really small, Must pay extra $100 to get enough storage, Selfie camera is low resolution
The iPhone SE may not be a game-changer, but it is truly the best 4-inch smartphone you can buy. It fills a gaping hole in the market, serving people who want a smaller phone that they can actually hold and carry comfortably...
Great battery life, Compact without compromise, It's a bargain. for an iPhone
16GB? Come on, Old design, No 3D Touch
As mea culpas go, the iPhone SE is a winning way to right a balls-up. Any 4in iPhone owner who's resisted the 6s' siren call should pick up an SE. Pronto. The iPhone SE doesn't feel small, it feels compact. And there's a massive difference between those...
