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
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...

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...
Price and availability: The iPhone SE will be available in space grey, silver, gold and rose gold metallic finishes in 16GB and 64GB models starting at €499 (inc VAT) from early AprilWords by John Kennedy...
Perfect for using onehanded, Incredible performance, Great camera, Price, good battery life
Might be too small, no 3D touch
If you have always wanted an Apple device but havent been able to afford one because of their prohibitive costs, then this phone is for you. The iPhone SE is a masterstroke from Apple to go into the upper mid-range handset market which is quite directio...

Abstract: Apple unveiled the iPhone SE to a somewhat muted reaction, but the 4in handset offers some impressive specs, many of which are the equal of Apple's current flagship the iPhone 6S. We tested the iPhone SE in our full review and awarded a five-star score...

Stunning AMOLED display, Brilliant camera in all conditions, Newly waterproofed body
Expensive, It's a fingerprint magnet, Not as enticing as the S7 Edge
The SE is what many iPhone fans have been asking for, and it's a great upgrade if you're still using an iPhone 5. For 5S owners, things aren't quite as clear cut. If you're not happy with the 5S's performance, the SE should solve that problem. However, un...
Great performance, premium design, latest version of iOS, decent display, surprisingly good battery life, market-leading camera
Poor front-facing camera, 16GB storage option
The iPhone SE may be small, but it's proved to be one of Apple's most powerful handsets. The 4in screen will be too big a down-size for many, but those in the market for a pint-sized, affordable smartphone will struggle to find anything better...
