If you just need an iPhone that can run every app and the latest software, then the iPhone SE is a great buy for the price.

I've been testing it for the past several days, and it's a good option for people who just need an iPhone without all the fancy stuff you'll pay for on theThe iPhone SE is $30 more than the identically named model that launched in 2020 for $399. It offers more than that model, including support for faster 5G cellular, stronger glass, and the same high-speed processor that appears in the more expensive iPhone 13 .

The iPhone SE isn't as popular as Apple's other phones. According to Counterpoint Research, the 2020 version of the iPhone SE accounted for 12% of all iPhone sales from its launch until Q4 2021. The addition of 5G, however, could make it a compelling option in international markets such as Europe and China where Apple didn't yet have a low-priced 5G phone to compete with budget Android devices.

It's got the same body design as the iPhone 8 from 2017, which looks a bit out of date but also means it's the only iPhone you can still buy with a fingerprint-reading home button instead of Apple's Face ID unlock system, which is only now getting support for face masks. I love the size. I normally carry Apple's much bigger iPhone 13 Pro Max, which feels a bit like a brick next to the iPhone SE. I'd turn to the iPhone SE to toss in my pocket for a run, and it was a lot easier to use to watch movies with one hand while lying down without worrying about it dropping on my face. The stereo speakers are good, too. But if you have the budget, the iPhone 13 Mini is the same size with a way better screen, slightly longer battery life, and nicer cameras.
