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

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...

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...
Great performance, Great battery life, Gorgeous build quality
Touch ID is slower than on the latest iPhones, No 3D Touch
Apple has surpassed all my expectations for the iPhone SE. Before it launched, I was expecting a plastic handset with an older processor; instead, we've got a metal handset with the latest processor and a top-notch camera. In fact, the only thing that the...
It'll come as no surprise to hear that the iPhone 7 certainly does have all the tech you'll need for business and pleasure. It's all presented in a beautiful package, too.However, the iPhone SE puts in a good show for a lower-priced smartphone and if it's...
For me the iPhone SE is a great handset that may appeal to those who preferred the look/feel of the iPhone 5s and are put off by the increasing girth of the larger iPhone 6/7 range.My only concern would be that the iPhone SE looks identical to the 5s and...
