Apple iPhone SE Reviews

Evaluation 4
Advantages: I knew what I’m taking, this phone has been around for many years (I’m talking about iPhone 5), all the advantages and disadvantages are known, it’s better not to find such a size ...
common well-known advantages of all fives:
- optimal width for hand and pocket
- survivability in case of severe damage (I almost had a touchscreen, a button fell out and I continued to use it, unlike Sony, which lost the sensitivity of the floor of the screen from a barely noticeable crack, repair - replacing glass with glue cost 1500 rubles)
- the system does not litter itself, after two years it works the same way as out of the box (especially if it is not updated) - but this is another story)

immediately felt the long battery life, now even with games there is no problem to live up to the night charge
before Apple I had a lot of different androids, the last one - sony z3 compact finally repulsed the desire to use them (samsungi were also more reliable than sony, but the interface is for aliens)
Disadvantages: they promised a more stable wi-fi - now it falls off less often, but it still falls off, maybe this is probably the features of my router (although for example computers on Windows are caught steadily)
The price tag is certainly not childish, but there are simply no competitors
Comment: I switched from American 5s .. 16GB, if I worked for an American, I wouldn’t have passed, and I paid 30 mowers to the dude with Avito in addition to my five killed, I knew what was going on, and I don’t need anything else

Advantages: Camera (day shot)
Overall reliability of work
Work speed
Ease of use
Form Factor (subjectively)
Disadvantages: Some settings are hard to find.
Thickness and again form factor.
Camera (evening)
Some glitches in the work (not critical)
Comment: Good day! Before that, I used different smartphones, I had Samsung with Windows and HTC Sensation XE with Android.

Windows (old) often slowed down and buggy. It was comfortable, but very "heavy" ... as soon as you put something on top, it starts to slow down more and more.
I did not like the Android: there are a lot of viruses and dubious programs on the market. The update period is very short (for my XE, updates were no longer delivered in six months! After its official release - I even checked for VIKI and Android versions. I ended up at 4.0.3), in Android constantly “something is missing” .. As soon as you put this "something", problems and brakes begin.

With IOS, I met an Ipad, which served me for a year without any problems (it still serves now) and decided that the next phone model would be an Iphone.
I can say that I like it more than other systems, even despite the dumb itunes and any nonsense with synchronization.

First of all, he is very smart ... and remains smart for a long time (I found out using my bati’s iphone 4s as an example).
There are glitches, but compared to Android, they are not fatal. Let's say ... I almost never reboot the phone.
It's very cool that you can forget about the antivirus - do not jailbreak, update officially and it is unlikely that something will crawl to you.
It's also cool that apps in the AppStore are much better controlled. There is also garbage, but it is much smaller.
Many unique applications. Many additional devices of all kinds.

As for the SE - well, almost the same 6S, just a little bit simpler, cheaper, and in the 5-ki format. If you are considering it, then:
- If screen size is not so important, then it will save money compared to 6S
- It will be relevant for a longer time than the usual 6-ka, and even more so than 5-ka, because iron there is a similar 6s.
- It is more convenient to sit in your pocket)
- Less space on the windshield as a navigator.

In general, it is a good, long-playing smartphone. Yes, Expensive. But also for a long time. Cons are described above.

Advantages: excellent cameras, front flash, long battery life, clear screen, fast
Disadvantages: high price (they took a month ago for almost 48,000 rubles)
Comment: Apple, as always - on top! I like the look of 5s, but I wanted a slightly improved version and - voila! The 64GB iPhone SE is an excellent smartphone for those who do not want 6k, because of its size, but it wants something new!

Advantages: Just super! After htc one, just fantastic. I have long wanted an iPhone. Before that, there were three htc phones. I thought it was difficult to rebuild from android, but it turned out everything was simple. The camera is super. Performance is gorgeous. All applications running without interruption. Fully justifies its price. Although, like last time, I still wanted to buy another Android as I was used to this system. Madly happy with my choice.
Disadvantages: I did not immediately manage to set up Siri, I often do not understand what I want from it. a little long set up a fingerprint lock. Otherwise, everything is super.
Comment: Very cool phone that will be relevant for at least another two years exactly

Advantages: The battery, operating system, camera, size, fingerprint (I really use it), DO NOT HEAT!
Disadvantages: Except for the lack of a complete, with a huge number of functions of the VC version, I have not yet found any serious flaws
Comment: Before that, all the phones were on android (sgs4, sonyz2, Samsungnote4). I can say that everywhere there are pros and cons. Android for those who probably love to dig, always change something, bought an iPhone and use it immediately. I took because of the size (now almost all the phones make huge flagships) and iOS, I wanted to try to use it. I want to say that I use almost all the functions that are on the phone, it is very convenient and practical. Also pleased with its autonomy, that in standby mode, that during operation. iTunes doesn't bother me at all.I keep many documents, photos, videos, etc. in the cloud storage. In conclusion, we can say that the phone is good, I do not regret the purchase at all.

Advantages: Size, screen quality, battery, quality applications.
Disadvantages: Photos, iTunes, the rest see comments
Comment: For many years, he was an Android user from Samsung (the entire Galaxy series up to 6 + Note 4). Now I wanted the phone to fit in my hand and was powerful. Considered various options. Stopped on the iPhone. I had the same experience with the iPhone4. In general, the device is cool. Some things are better in android, some in iOS. Of course freezes iTunes. I transfer files through Google.Disk.
"Pins" setting ringtones for calls, sms and so on from the outside. After Android just a piece of absurdity. It is not convenient to put an event in the calendar. Maybe I did not understand yet, but why should it be difficult? Type for people.
The biggest disappointment is the camera. I compared the Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6. I was satisfied with the quality of the photo at 6. But then the iPhone 6S came out. With even better camera. And they put the same in the SE. I often take pictures close, and detailing is important to me. If the light is good, yes the photo is excellent. But a little shadow is everything. And no settings. Forcibly put nothing. So he decided to take it off like that.
Not a very convenient dialer. It is very disturbing, which saves the search for the previous contact. It is necessary to erase and write again. Maybe I have not fully understood the whole system. But people shout that they have not seen the interface easier. For me, the android is more intuitive. Maybe it's just a tribute to fashion. Convenient integration with car radio, recognizes as an iPod. Trouble with songs, I do not always want MP3. Looking for ALAC then according to the established scheme :)))
Batteries with my use lasts for 2 days easily. Especially nowhere do I charge during the day. Wi-Fi works all the time. I do not play toys. Calls, social networks, photos, mail, browser. Brightness on the car. Push notifications enabled and sync. I do not use Bluetooth. I do not limit myself to use. I do everything that I need.
In any case, while I will understand. Perhaps the friendship will become stronger, maybe I will look for a new owner. Time will tell.

Advantages: Excellent device, replacing the 5th. Since the glamorous 6 and others like him did not want, he waited for this and was not disappointed. Convenient, reliable, fast, without showing off and unnecessary deep touchscreens ... In short credit!

Evaluation 4
Advantages: operation speed, screen size, camera, battery (holds 10-12 hours without problems)
Disadvantages: basking case, no 32 gb version, price
Comment: A great option for those who decide to upgrade from the "five" or, like me, from the "four" - this model is aimed specifically at such people. There are no breakthroughs like a screen the size of a shovel and so forth. Talk about the size and resolution of the screen, about the old case, about the first generation touchID is empty. we just have a "workhorse" that meets modern requirements, which thinks quickly and does not sit in the middle of the day. that's all. and for not very big money (well, if it is, of course, not about Russia :)).
the only thing that really confuses is the lack of a 32 gb version, however, it’s probably a marketing step: I’m sure that the seven, which they promise in the fall, will start with 32 gb of memory - you can't so that everything necessary and good was delivered to the models of the "second row" :).

Advantages: I bought it recently, from the very beginning I wanted exactly such a model, before that there was an iPhone 5 c (with a plastic case) is also a very good smartphone, I used it for two years and never had any malfunctions, but unfortunately for 5 c it was Little memory - only 8 GB, which was the reason for buying the iphone se.
Main advantages:
- very fast (iphone 5c was also not slow, but this one is like a rocket);
- The battery is much better than 5 c, it is noticeable in everyday use;
- the camera is excellent;
- the connection catches very well, plus the audibility is excellent, the noise level here is excellent, 5 seconds worse;
- build quality;
- the scanner works well, I don’t know that it was written there that it’s not so fast, you don’t notice;
- the brightness of the screen is still fixed, on my copy the screen is brighter than 5 seconds and on ipod touch 6
Disadvantages: For me, they are not yet. Well, for those who care about the diagonal of the display, then it probably will be a minus for them ... 3 d touch ..., well, I don’t know, maybe it’s important for someone, but for me it’s not important .. I hardly use the front-end ...
Comment: Excellent device, very balanced and easy to use, incredibly fast with modern technical characteristics ... As for the design, it was the same on the iphone 5, 5 c, 5 s, but IMHO, this is probably the best thing Apple did The iphone of 6 versions in the design plan is a controversial thing, one protruding eye of the camera rather spoils the overall impression, so it seems to me that it is not novelty that matters, but practicality, and this form factor is much more convenient in everyday use, I am very glad that Apple has done such release.

Advantages: Very mobile, the design still pleases. The battery has become a little better. Full day to the maximum. The price is very adequate.
Disadvantages: Do not boast a new mobile. Could a little change the design. Grade liquid. No version 32 gb
Comment: This model will be enough until 7s comes out. After 4s is fantastic. I repeat once more that a small and thin tube is always more profitable than a tablet at the ear. The speed of work impressed. Photos are just gorgeous, and live photos are a toy for 5 minutes.
I recommend to buy
