True.

The iPhone SE is less than 5 years old, and it's terrific. I've had mine for nearly three years and I just got the battery replaced. I'm not sure I'd buy an SE new today if I needed a new phone, but I'm going to hold onto it until it dies or another good small phone comes out.



I have an SE as well, but the camera is a potato, roughly on par with $200 Android phones from 3 years ago. Ok outside with good lighting, but a muddy mess everywhere else.

I also find typing on it to be much more inaccurate than larger phones (even with swipe typing).

The battery life and everything else is great, though.


I just bought a "new" SE refurbished for $100. It's still fantastic and runs iOS 13 marvelously. It's really your only option for a small device that runs a modern phone OS.
