The iPhone SE: A Powerful and Compact Device
The iPhone SE is a powerhouse of a device that packs a punch despite its small size. It's the perfect phone for anyone who wants a reliable and efficient device without breaking the bank. The processor powering the iPhone SE can handle practically anything apps throw at it, making it the Mighty Mouse of iPhones. Its internal improvements over the iPhone 5S include faster Wi-Fi and LTE speeds, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC, and touch ID, bringing Apple Pay support to the table.
One of the most amazing things about the iPhone SE is its ability to handle multitasking with ease. The smaller screen has allowed me to find myself preferring to do most tasks on the device, as it's perfect for everything I need to do on my iPhone. The smaller size means that most people will be able to reach from the bottom corner to the top without having to contort themselves into a Frankenstein shape. I've been dropping my iPhone 6s like crazy when trying to use it one-handed, but the iPhone SE hasn't slipped out of my grasp once.
Of course, there are some drawbacks to the little screen. The contrast ratio is slightly worse than the iPhone 6S, and there's no 3D touch. However, I feel that these are minor losses, and the iPhone SE is a less distracting device overall. Your attention isn't swamped by a giant screen begging you to watch just one more YouTube video. You can pull it out, check your apps, send messages, take a picture, and then put it back in your pocket without feeling guilty about wasting time.
One reason I love the iPhone SE design is that it feels so much better using it as a camera than my previous iPhones. The addition of a 12 megapixel rear camera sensor makes it a great point-and-shoot camera that's also a fantastic smartphone. It seems like it could be a favorite among photographers, and for $399, you essentially get a great camera alone.
The only drawback to the iPhone SE cameras is the front-facing FaceTime camera, which still uses a 1.2 megapixel sensor from the iPhone 5S. Your selfie game will take a serious hit, but low-light photos are still pretty grainy and pixelated. However, it also shoots 4K video and live photos.
Despite its smaller size, the iPhone SE has better battery life than my iPhone 6s, even when using it just as much or more. The iPhone SE paired-down features allow it to sit battery life slower while giving essentially the same performance. You can actually make it through a full day of heavy usage without needing to recharge it for the first time in my life.
The $399 starting price is great for people on a budget, and the 64 GB model is pretty much a no-brainer for the $499 upgrade. If you do anything more than serve Safari and Facebook, I'm not sure if I'll go back to my iPhone 6s despite its small stature. The iPhone SE is a good size with a lot of power and a perfect design that will make you fall in love.
The iPhone SE's greatest feat is that it will make you question whether or not you really need an iPhone 6S. Sure, the 6s is bigger, it has a sleeker body, and a couple new tricks, but the iPhone SE is a classic reincarnation for a farewell tour that demands your attention. I couldn't let go of my iPhone 6s, even after experiencing the iPhone SE.
Overall, the iPhone SE is an amazing device that packs a punch despite its small size. It's powerful, efficient, and perfect for anyone who wants a reliable smartphone without breaking the bank. Whether you're upgrading from an iPhone 5S or lower, the iPhone SE is definitely worth considering.
