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

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
Great performance, Excellent battery life, Lowest price per GB for a new iPhone
Unimpressive display, Looks identical to the iPhone 5S, Voice call quality spotty at best, No 32GB option: Starts at 16GB and jumps to 64GB
iOS 9 is not a dramatic change for the iPhone, but it signals the direction Apple CEO Tim Cook is taking smartphones: the plan is to make them more like personal assistants that understand what we need and provide it for us. The current iteration of Sir...
Abstract: The iPhone SE, Apple's latest smartphone, is noticeably smaller in an era when phones just keep getting bigger. While one-handed use is a great selling point, is that enough incentive to go out and buy the latest iPhone or should you hold out till the fall when Apple...
sophisticated chassis, compact and light, very high performance, bright display with accurate colors, responsive and smooth handling, many accessories available, great signal quality, accurate GPS, good speaker, decent cameras, great runtimes in practice
high black value, NFC only for Apple Pay, microphone sounds dull, no IP certification, glass surfaces can easily break, storage not expandable, integrated battery
Apple still loves building compact smartphones, even though the last generations grew considerably. The iPhone SE (which is short for Special Edition) goes back to the roots and revives the hardly used 4-inch form factor. Not only children will be happy a...

Is the iPhone SE the right device for you? That really depends on what you need or want out of a device. If the design and style of the iPhone 5S was your thing, and you still want a device that you can fit into your pocket with ease, this is the device...

Powerful and compact, Excellent main camera, Premium design, Affordable*
Lacklustre front-facing camera, Battery life could be better, No 128GB version, Scuffs easily
Sure, the Apple iPhone SE looks out of place, but that's more indicative of how comfortable we've grown to bigger handsets, even if their size has impacted on ease of use for many users. A four inch screened device as powerful as this is a rare thing in 2...
Abstract: There was a time just a few years back when the 4-inch screen was considered Apple's big phone. After five generations of 3.5-inch screens, Apple made the iPhone taller in 2012 with the 4-inch iPhone 5. The width remained the same in a “common sense” move...

Packs the same power and features as the iPhone 6S, Compatible with all current 5/5S cases
Same frontfacing camera, No changes in design
The iPhone SE isn't a new iPhone, but for people looking for a performance level of the 6S on smaller, more portable built, the iPhone SE is the right choice...
Great performance, Amazing battery life for an iPhone, Starts at $399
Screen too small for some, Old front camera, Touch ID sensor, Base model only has 16GB of storage
Just because the iPhone SE looks like an old device doesn't mean it acts like one. Apple squeezed flagship-level performance and the best battery life we've seen from an iPhone in years into a familiar (and relatively inexpensive) frame. The phone lac...

The iPhone SE is a fine phone when considered by itself. I prefer bigger handsets, but the SE delivers on the core features that make a modern smartphone a good smartphone...
