Excellent basic phone
iPhone SE 2020 64GB (2020)I’ve mostly had iPhones, I like the format and find they’re easy to use. It has plenty of storage, plenty of apps available, and all the functions I need. The camera and editing functions are easy to follow, I use my iPhone for everything. There are no security issues or problems I’ve encountered. This one is 3 years old and more than adequate for my needs
Show detailsPerfect, well priced replacement for my son
iPhone SE 2020 64GB (2020)My son lost his iPhone 12 max pro , no insurance! Coles had this iPhone on sale for $229 , with a savings of $270 , better than half price
Show detailsSimple mobile phone
iPhone SE 2020 128GB (2020)I purchased and have been using this device for a few years now. All our phone devices for my family members are Apple. Including laptop, Apple TV, iPad. This device is a good size and I reused my previous valet which was a relatively expensive one.
The picture quality is good. Mind you I also use camera where I want to take high quality pictures and videos. Further when gathering with family friends etc., everyone takes pictures and they share. I also use iPad quite often as such I don’t need (nor a fan of ) a big mobile devices. This is the second SE model I purchase and I’m quite happy with the choice.
Faults emerged after 12 months
iPhone SE 2020 128GB (2020)After just twelve months problems emerged with this phone & worsened over the next 18 mths to the extent that I was tempted to throw it in the bin. The speakers went first & all I could hear was so faint that I couldn’t hear directions on route finder. Also, when reading articles the pages would scroll down rapidly or stop and return to the beginning. I took a punt on getting a cheap iPhone & it has been the most disappointing mobile I have ever owned.

First Apple Product to have failed.
iPhone SE 2020 128GB (2020)Purchased as replacement for first gen iPhone SE. First Apple product to have failed me. All other Apple products flawless, some after many years of regular use. Main camera randomly causes freeze, selfie cam not affected. Sometimes created error code. Locks to dark mode, even if light mode selected. Rest works as per normal. All good after restart, for a while. Apple wanted to run diagnostics but did not comment on error code. Went to local authorised Apple dealer who ran diagnostics and advised there are no apparent issues. Could not explain
... Read morethe faults described and shown on video (taken on fully functional very old Samsung device...). Other observations: Good basic phone, camera ok except in low light, where images at times are not great. Was aware of that pre purchase. Battery after 2 + years very poor in day to day use. During diagnostics/assessment I was advised battery still better than 80%. I would not buy this phone again, not even with discount. Am I more disappointed by the product or by the response?Avoid if you need to rely on a phone: It loses all power in less than 6hrs, in airplane mode!!!
iPhone SE 2020 128GB (2020)Avoid this phone. Its pathetic performance is only matched by the pathetic service from the Apple Hornsby store.
This phone replaced an older iPhone 6s but the performance is worse: It is beyond appalling to the point of being dangerous if you need to rely on it.
I do not have any social media accounts and no music streaming. It is solely used for calls and SMS along with some news and podcasts. The phone has never been dropped, has no scratches, has the original screen: It is exactly as shipped.
For example, when fully charged, I switched
Simple and never had an issue
iPhone SE 2020 64GB (2020)Just straight up mobile phone with data and not much of a hassle using it. If you're after a simple iPhone for your daily mobile needs then this phone is for you.
Show detailsI actually use to use Samsung but once I got this Phone I’ve never looked back from IPhone
iPhone SE 2020 64GB (2020)Camera I great
Brightness is really good
Everything, Banking, Business, live videos
Apps are great, I always had trouble with other Phones but IPhone I’ve never had a problem at all
Hasn't misfired in two years.
iPhone SE 2020 64GB (2020)I mainly wanted this, my first iphone, because modern phones have gotten too large to put in the front pocket of my jeans, but this one fit ok. I did notice that the battery discharges quicker than what I was used to from Samsungs, but apart from that it pretty much does what I want from it.

Good phone
iPhone SE 2020 64GB (2020)Good value for its price, compared to more expensive models. Lightweight and easy to use. Camera is a bit weak. No issues with the phone, I’m happy with the device.
A few little issues
iPhone SE 2020 64GB (2020)I bought this iPhone almost as soon as it came out, it's been good but lately I have noticed little issues, with the weather app not letting me add towns and cities that I once put on my phone when I first got it, my screen is becoming unresponsive to touch which is super annoying when you start to watch a video with sound and then you touch the screen to mute it and it won't let me, it takes more than 4 or 5 tries and then I have to double click the home button to stop watching the video all together because it just won't mute, when I make a p
... Read morehone call and you get an automated voice saying press number 1 for customer service and I'm touching number 1 on my touch screen and it's not responding and then by the time I have finished touching number 1 it's taken so long the recorded message says, sorry you haven't made a selection yet and occasionally the screen is starting to freeze and even double touch the home the button to start swiping the open pages shut is giving me grief by not responding, plus the software updates, oh my lord they are coming faster than I would like and they also are starting to be larger updates eating into my monthly data allowance which is not unlimited, so where do you draw the line at how many GB's an iPhone will use to update software, I used to love the Apple products but with each and every new software update getting larger and larger I am not so sure it's my fave now. I have had it since July 2020, I would have liked to have gotten 2+ years out of it but its about 18 months old now, I'm probably needing to upgrade sooner rather than later with these little issues appearing out of the blue and 18 months out of an Apple iPhone is not my idea of a good phone.I'm surprised at how good the little keyboard is
iPhone SE 2020 64GB (2020)I first thought that having a small phone would be hard to type on but the iPhone se is accurate and able to be used. My wife and I share devices regularly so she is also loving this device

Good price and smaller size. Potential to improve some features
iPhone SE 2020 128GB (2020)As mentioned by others here, there are some issues with this otherwise great 'little' phone, but overall I'm happy with my purchase and until a better affordable option is available I'm happy this is the best phone for me currently.
Pros:
- Price - an obvious benefit is that this phone is considerably cheaper than other new iPhone models!
- Size - I reluctantly upgraded from my iPhone SE (2016) due to poor battery life but didn't want a larger phone, so the newer iPhone SE (2020) was the best option for me, being only a little larger than I wa
Best iPhone I have ever had
iPhone SE 2020 128GB (2020)After reading review and realising it’s just a more compact iPhone 11 I upgraded from a iPhone 6 to the SE2 I love the red colour I got plus all the camera filters which I use all the time.The battery life is great. I use it for work ,home ,Skype for everything. Fits well in my hand and is quick for the Bluetooth.
I have showed people that it’s the quite iPhone that never gets talked about and they all ended up buying it and now are telling their friends about it. A very very happy customer
Great iPhone if you like smaller less complicated handsets
iPhone SE 2020 64GB (2020)I recently purchased the iPhone SE after doing a lot of research on which iPhones had the best Cameras. We were leaving on a road trip in our new Campervan and although I was happy with my iPhone 6, I wanted a better quality camera. Obviously price was a big plus with the iPhone SE being about half the cost of the 11 and 12 (and being next comparable for camera quality), however it was the size of the phone and simplicity that finally decided me to buy the SE. I have had iPhones for years but confess to not utilising the features much apar
... Read moret from Maps, Google Chrome, Instagram, Facebook, Outlook for emails and SMS and of course the Camera being the big plus on the list. The battery life is not as good as I had hoped, however I have been using it a lot for checking Camp sites, Email etc. and so this may be normal. All other features like durability, use of Apps and display are pretty similar to the iPhone 6 but it obviously has newer technology and is faster and better for what I need. Other peoples reviews really helped me to make the decision to get this one and I am happy that it is perfect for what I needed.Questions & Answers
