I think an iPhone SE using the iPhone 8 Plus design would help solve the phones inherent limitations - better battery life, bigger screen, dual cameras, no major manufacturing changes needed by apple.

I think what they should’ve done is use the XR body, use Touch ID on the power button. Remove Face ID and then A15. You’re getting the updated design language but with cut down features.

Probably one of the most balanced reviews I've seen. Marques definitely realises the target market for this.

I just got an 2022 SE, I had an iPhone 8 and I am thrilled with the SE. If you can emotionally survive the occasional sneer from your friends, this phone objectively does everything and more, that one might need in a smartphone. Don’t allow Apple to unnecessarily take more of your money than what is truly needed. Keep in mind that we would all be amazed by this technology just a couple handful of moons ago.

Honestly glad they keep coming out with these. My 82yo grandmother could never learn to use anything more advanced in design than this.

Only Apple could pull a 2017 design in 2022.

Actually the “S” stands for “Senior Edition”. All grandparents love the Touch Button! 😊

I love my iPhone SE. I don’t want a huge phone, and I definitely don’t care what anyone else thinks.

I can feel comfortable using this phone in the hood because they think is a 7 so they don't steal it
