Hey, guys, this is Austin. iPhones are becoming a lot easier to pick up. So, I was able to get each of these three iPhones for less than $200 on prepaid carriers. But are they worth it? I did a video on this iPhone 5S last year where it cost me $150. However, today, you can easily find these available for only $129 but even as low as $99 off contract. It's the same story with the iPhone 6. While some places have it listed for $300 or even as much as $450, I was able to pick this one up for only $200. The iPhone SE is also available for cheap. So, while it still costs $400 unlocked straight from Apple, I was able to pick this one up for only $160.

The prices are definitely going to vary depending on what sales are going on and the big downside is that these are all going to be locked to a prepaid carrier. But I'm curious, what kind of iPhone are you getting for $200? To start with, we have the iPhone SE. Even though this is a little bit of an older design, this is actually a pretty new phone. It only came out about a year ago. What's cool with this is it's actually not even a base model, so this guy's going to be rocking 32 gigs of storage.

The unboxing experience is pretty straightforward. So, not only do we have our Apple stickers and paperwork right here, there's also going to be the old-school Apple EarPods, we have our USB power adapter, as well as a Lightning cable. Put it side by side with the iPhone 5S and the SE looks very, very similar. What you're getting here is a pretty small phone. Now, to be fair, it's kind of rare to actually get a decently specced small phone these days, but it's small. It definitely really small.

It still feels premium though. So, not only do we have the chamfered edges as well as the nice metal and glass design, but most importantly than that, it feels sturdy. And that's not something that you can always say about budget phones. Moving over to the iPhone 6, just like the SE, we're going to be getting a 32 gigabyte phone which is going to make this a lot more usable.

With the iPhone 6, we're getting something that's basically the same design as the current iPhone 7. So, while things have been tweaked just a little bit in the last couple of years, for the most part, you're really not going to be missing out on much. Arguably, there are actually some design improvements here. So, not only do we have the nice look and feel but also a bigger screen and more features.

So, I'd definitely recommend this one if you're looking at your options. While smartphones have definitely advanced a lot over the last few years, what's impressive is just how decent these iPhones feel to use even though they're three, even four years old. What's really impressive is the camera on the SE while it's about a year old at this point, it really is only topped by flagships like the Galaxy S8 and the iPhone 7.

Video on the SE also looks nice. It shoots in full 4K and while it might not be a RED, the stabilization means that it actually looks really nice. The iPhone 5S hides its age surprisingly well. For just a little bit more than half the price it was when it launched, I think the iPhone SE is an obvious upgrade. But only if you're down with a smaller phone.

Which leaves us with the iPhone 6. While it might not be the most powerful phone in the world, I think the larger size more than makes up for that. So, would you guys pick up a $200 iPhone? And if so, which one would it be? Let me know in the comments below and I'll catch you in the next one.

for the most part,you're really not gonnabe missing out on much.Arguably, there are actuallysome design improvements here.So, not only does the iPhone 6still have the physical home button,but it also does stillhave a headphone jack.You're getting somenice upgrades with a 6,most notably, Apple Pay support.So, this is actually something I useon pretty much a daily basis.You're also getting a muchlarger 4.7 inch displaycompared to the smaller fourinch panel on the others.So, while this is still a little bit smallby most flagship standards today,it feels a lot more usable.The specs are pretty interesting.So, the iPhone 5S isthe oldest phone here,it is rocking an Apple A7 processorwith one gigabyte of RAM.Whereas the iPhone 6 has the Apple A8and the iPhone SE has the newest Apple A9with a full two gigabytes of memory.All three feel reasonably snappybut the 5S is startingto show its age a bit.With only one gigabyte of RAM,it does get a touch slow sometimeswhen you're doing a lot of multitasking,but it really is not bad.It's the same story with the iPhone 6.In real use, it feels almostthe exact same as the 5Sand a lot of it does haveto do with the fact thatit also runs one gigabyte of RAM.On the other hand, theiPhone SE is super quick.So, it has the samespecs as the iPhone 6S,which absolutely puts it on par witha lot of current flagships.To put things in perspective,all three iPhones are goingto be more powerful thana budget option like the Moto G4but it really is the iPhoneSE that takes the win here.All three are up to date on iOS 10and they're all getting theiOS 11 update later this year.That's especially impressivewhen you look at the iPhone 5Swhich came out all the way back in 2013.I've gotta give big props to Applefor supporting a phonelike this for five years.Pretty much no one else does that.The biggest issue is justthe smaller screen sizeson the 5S and the SE.You know, I get it,a lot of people do like a smaller phone,but as far as I'm concerned,it just feels a littlebit small and cramped.To be fair, you're not reallylosing any functionality,everything is just a littlebit smaller than usual.But if you're used to a bigger phone,these are gonna get a littlebit hard to get used to.When it comes to cameras,the iPhone 5S and 6have a very similar lookingeight megapixel camera,whereas the SE bumpsthat up to 12 megapixelsthanks to the iPhone 6S,which it basically stoleall its parts from.First, we have the 5S.This was probably the bestcamera on a smartphonewhen it came out but today,that's actually not bad.The dynamic range is not quite there,but this is a really,really difficult shot.These all look pretty nice.So, I'd have to give aslight edge to the SE here,but really, I would be happywith any of these phones.While smartphones havedefinitely advanced a lotover the last few years,what's impressive is just how decentthese iPhones feel to useeven though they're three,even four years old.What's really impressiveis the camera on the SE.While it's about a year old at this point,it really is only topped byflagships like the Galaxy S8and the iPhone 7.Video on the SE also looks nice.So, it shoots in full 4Kand while it might not
