Everything You Need to Know About the iPhone SE

Apple’s latest phone is here, released just days ago for our consumption. While the iPhone SE might not be as big or as grand as some of Apple’s other offerings, that doesn’t mean that the SE isn’t worth getting excited about.
            But what do consumers need to know about the iPhone SE? What does it offer? Is it worth the purchase? How can you track an iPhone? The iPhone SE just might be the right choice for you. And here’s why.

What’s the SE All About?

            The concept behind the SE is pretty simple. The SE is intended for iPhone fans who really weren’t a fan of some of Apple’s recent offerings such as the iPhone 6 and the 6s. The SE is a smaller phone, resembling fan favorite phones such at the iPhone 4s or even the 5s. While small and about the same size as a 4, the phone features the same functionality as more recent models. It’s clear that Apple is targeting the wealth of iPhone users out there still unwilling to give up their iPhone 4 or 4s.
            The SE offers more recent features such as 3-D touch and Touch ID, as well as a secret camera app, while still offering users a convenient experience they can hold in the palm of their hand, something the iPhone 6 was lacking due to its larger size.

Who is the SE For?

            Let’s face it. If you own an iPhone 6 or 6s, you’re probably not going to be downgrading to an SE. The SE is purely for iPhone fans who either haven’t made the switch to a more advanced model, people looking for an affordable alternative to the 6 and the 6s or people who really weren’t all that happy with the size and bulk of the SE.
            iPhone 5 and 5s owners may be particularly happy with the SE. It’s compatible with all covers and accessories that could be used with the 5 and the 5s, making the SE a smart choice for the iPhone user who doesn’t have to have to keep upgrading their cases, their cables, and so on.

The Downsides to the SE

            But the iPhone SE isn’t without some downsides, although they shouldn’t be a deal breaker for most iPhone users.
            Since the hardware isn’t quite as advanced as what’s found in the 6 or the 6s, features like 3-D touch and Touch ID are slower. The GPU is a little slower too and the screen resolution isn’t quite as crisp compared to the 6 or the 6s. But compared to older models, it shouldn’t make a difference for iPhone users who really don’t know any better or who consider the phone’s cost and smaller design to be a good trade-off.

Huge Benefits

            Besides its smaller size and lower cost, there is one huge benefit to the SE that not many people are talking about. The phone actually boasts a worry free text spy app. Compared to the 6, the 6s, the 5 and even the 5s, the SE has a large battery for its size. And with a slightly lower screen resolution, the SE is smart with its power.
            The SE has done what some fans have been asking Apple to do for years- promote a better battery life and provide a phone that doesn’t care about being the thinnest or sleekest on the market.

            Is the SE for you? That depends. Are a smaller size and a higher battery appealing to you? Could you live without the highest screen resolution around or a lighting fast 3-D touch? The iPhone SE is an economical choice for many users and in many cases, it could be the phone for you.
