    Where’s that lava lamp guy? He’s late

    I remember having a 6s when it came out the battery was terrible so this phone must be the same trash battery good thing I can buy flagships otherwise I’d be stuck with this crap, the 4a is a much better phone



  4. Janet Slater on December 17, 2020 at 11:11 pm

    Yeah……$300 iPhone SE vs $800+ iPhone 11…I’ll take those slight downfalls, especially for those like me who have to pay for their phones out of pocket from having a no-contract plan.



  5. Billy Goat on December 17, 2020 at 11:11 pm

    For me I upgraded to the SE from my 6s that I had since the 6s launched. The SE was a massive improvement in battery life but I hate that they changed some of the phones functions. Overall I’m happy with my SE and don’t feel like I’m missing out from the 11 or 12. I also don’t have a problem with the speakers or video streaming. My SE is probably the main device I use for Netflix and Hulu.



  6. Sam Lee on December 17, 2020 at 11:12 pm

    I love it



  7. Rohit RØ on December 17, 2020 at 11:13 pm

    Damn true😭battery sucks



  8. Eric Garcia on December 17, 2020 at 11:17 pm

    This is the first iPhone ive ever layer hands on and I have zero complaints! The batter last all day of using is normally. Standby time last a really long time, but I play high end games for a hours and it will last like three hours from full charge. It charges really quick though. I actually really love this phone, I never though I would ever like an iPhone in my life.



  9. zoeyfx_ on December 17, 2020 at 11:18 pm

    Who’s watching this on the iPhone Se 2
    👇🏼



  10. Forearm Tattoo Dude on December 17, 2020 at 11:19 pm

    Does anyone know if you can charge the se with a usb to lightning cord? If so can you use a 1w or 1.8w charger.



  11. Homer Simpson on December 17, 2020 at 11:19 pm

    Getting one for Christmas 🎄



  12. KiD 504# on December 17, 2020 at 11:21 pm

    Touch ID is so bad for dark skin people like me under low lights



  13. Em on December 17, 2020 at 11:23 pm

    I have the first SE the battery hold for 30 minutes, no kidding. however it s a phone I really like, the design is the best of all apple phones, he is not too big, he can fit in my pockets, I always thought that for a teenager like me it was great and sufficient. it s been 3 years than I have it and finally ,because of the battery, I decided to go for the next SE because it was not too big, not too expensive, great interface that I m use to. Hopefully the battery will not let me down, it will still be better than mine at least



  14. Nana Libatique on December 17, 2020 at 11:25 pm

    Upgraded from iPhone 7 to iPhone SE 2020. But I love iPhone 7 back design and the aluminum feel than the glass.



  15. Veronica Jones on December 17, 2020 at 11:27 pm

    SquareSpace with weebly is stealing money from my paypal account months after cancelled service. That’s disappointing



  16. ixsnowy xx on December 17, 2020 at 11:28 pm

    Me with a iPhone se 😐



  17. emi on December 17, 2020 at 11:29 pm

    my se wont send messages, wont let me use certain apps, wont let me post stuff, its the worst phone ive ever had and i hate, i literally just got it



  18. D Town on December 17, 2020 at 11:30 pm

    I think americans have super high standards



  19. Lucas Frazier on December 17, 2020 at 11:34 pm

    Idk why you think the speakers aren’t good because I think they are really good.



  20. Cal Veldt on December 17, 2020 at 11:34 pm

    I just bought this and it’s a major upgrade from my first phone and iPhone 5, which I owned for a little over 6 years. The only people that complain are snobs who buy a new phone everytime one comes out.



  21. Ashley Wolfe on December 17, 2020 at 11:34 pm

    Returned my 12 and got this because I don’t need 5g and the 600 I save are worth it.



  22. Knuckles on December 17, 2020 at 11:34 pm

    *me who has used an ipod 6 for 4 years and got an iphone se as a first phone*
    THIS BATTERY LIFE IS BAD TO YOU? LMAO YOU DON’T EVEN *K N O W*



  23. SteelHex on December 17, 2020 at 11:35 pm

    The way people use cell phones have changed drastically. The SE2 is built on a chassis designed for 2014, when cell phone data plan was both slow and expensive. People didn’t spend 2 hours on youtube when not connected to wifi.

    I still think for most people who spend most of the day at work or school, it works fine. During work or class they can’t use the phone anyway, so most of the battery is consumed after hours.



  24. glen collins on December 17, 2020 at 11:37 pm

    i have a first generation SE and the phone lasts about an hour of screen on time and like 4ish hours of stand by time….. help



  25. coward on December 17, 2020 at 11:40 pm

    I got my SE 2 about a month ago and although I took good care of it and had a case on the front got scratched quite a lot. Does anyone else have this problem too?



  26. Juli Roese on December 17, 2020 at 11:40 pm

    Hi



  27. Israel Jaime on December 17, 2020 at 11:41 pm

    I used both s10e and iphone X I would say s10e is much better phone in 2020



  28. Ryan Gratto on December 17, 2020 at 11:41 pm

    I had an iPod before I got the se so I can’t complain about anything



  29. Isaiah Pavia-Cruz on December 17, 2020 at 11:42 pm

    I love my iPhone SE



  30. Luke From Texas on December 17, 2020 at 11:43 pm

    Touch ID is better than Face ID. I’ll never buy a Face ID phone.



  31. Darthwing Duck on December 17, 2020 at 11:43 pm

    I recently purchased an iPhone SE as a cheap way to see if i would enjoy an apple phone. I switched from a galaxy s10 and its safe to say i love the new SE. I’ve watched lots of reviews on the new SE and i keep hearing these reviewers shit on this phone and I can at really figure out why. It’s a great phone. The battery gets me through most of the day ,a lot of times its gets me through the whole day. I’m a heavy user. I play games all day, i watch YouTube videos throughout the day from my favorite creators ,twitter and instagram all day and this phone serves me well in doing all of it. The camera is great but i do miss the ultra wide camera . That is the biggest thing I’m missing from this phone that was on the s10. The processor is lightning fast way better than the snapdragon that was on the s10. After buying this phone i got an iPad and the two work perfectly together. I finally understand the apple ecosystem. All in all i would recommend this phone to anyone it has 95 percent of the capabilities of the iPhone 12 for 50 percent of the cost win win



  32. Matthew Hammond on December 17, 2020 at 11:45 pm

    Great video but did you really have to stick a Ad in the middle of the video.



  33. Sean Ady on December 17, 2020 at 11:45 pm

    Multiple people have complained about the this phones chassis. Like it’s a budget iPhone what do you guys expect. They’re using a old solid sleek design for their budget phone.



  34. This is officialy A dead channel on December 17, 2020 at 11:46 pm

    I’ve been using my SE since release and it still has 100% battery quality. Watching YouTube and Netflix on this is fluent and clean as well.



  35. Fxvg Fcb on December 17, 2020 at 11:48 pm

    สวย



  36. junior ubico on December 17, 2020 at 11:52 pm

    The iphone se is for people that love the look of the iphone 8 but want a faster phone point blank



  37. Princess Anne Bigyan on December 17, 2020 at 11:52 pm

  38. Danial Rafiqi on December 17, 2020 at 11:53 pm

    Push this video is sponsored by square space the only one platform to build and design you’re stunning new website iPhone SE review when I thought it might be time for an update because things have changed and so has my opinion of this phone in some ways have a roller coaster of feelings but this phone I was a little bit disappointed that Apple and decided to once again we use it as I am pretty much on changed since the iPhone 6 oh I thought about it a little bit and then decided it was actually a good move it I want them to make essentially a budget iPhone with the specs of their flagships and that was pretty cool so I did my review and give it a pretty favorable conclusion and that was that but now five months after it’s release the AC has a new story to tell and it’s not all great show Mr. which one is still grid he is still in great shape phone is been used for the case I don’t know if the past five months in both the front and back glass seem to be in good overall shape with no significant scratches or dings to speak up the only blemishes a small scraping the bottom corner of the frame which presumably appeared after a hard fall he quite a small asleep old SE which by the way is still one of the best phones apples every design my opinion as he is still very pocket bowl and comfortable to have around Nice and the hand and despite his aging design it still does feel very premium to hold grams is easily one of the latest phones on the market Touch ID is an old form of tactile replace my face ID it is so so much better in these crazy times when you have to mask up just to leave your house fast and accurate and for once I’m glad that it’s here on the AC cameras are also still just as excellent as I mentioned before they aren’t quite up to iPhone 11 to your quality but come pretty darn close cousin skin tones are some of the most natural out of any phone on the market and sharpness good as well despite not having the highest resolution cameras for came from the rear camera is still great although I do miss having 40 on the front selfie camera because Colors and dynamic range is good the front camera is missing a sharpness that comes from that rear camera I’m wondering is how well it’s going to stand up against Google pixel 48 which is press similarly and has the excellent cameras from the pixel for hold a review of the 4A coming within the next week or so so subscribe and hit that notification bell to be notified when that video releases as expected the performance on the AC is still just as an excellent least several years into the future the 813 Bionic inside is a flag ship compete with literally any other CPU from pretty much any other phone on the market today everything is nice and snappy and other than a few minor bugs from the battle of iOS 14 I’ve had no real problems with how this phone performs Apple Watch click keep this phone updated into 2024 and maybe even 2025 so this might be just one of the best bang for your buck phones ever released at least were performance and software updates or concern one was on and start warn you about a few other not so great things about this phone I wanna talk about one last great thing that I’ve used extensively in the past to build websites bass Face is an old one platform for building professional website online stores or portfolios and to their feature which website building in design tools in-depth as your tools for getting your website email campaigns for spreading your message stools for setting up an online store detail ALRIGHT IM hope you understand my website is performing a whole bunch of other stuff to get and the website for fun in the past and using square space IM DONE Stream Lee easy to build some thing that looks incredible

    Battery life doesn’t matter me cause all I do is go to school on the bus on the weekend and I have an iPad so I don’t need it much



  44. Jeph629 on December 18, 2020 at 12:01 am

    Too big; go away.



  45. Gucci Crimson on December 18, 2020 at 12:02 am

  49. laura on December 18, 2020 at 12:04 am

    these videos fail to appeal to the audience that doesn’t want a fancy phone, but just a good one.



  50. Ramanan T on December 18, 2020 at 12:07 am

    I’m totally ok with the battery life. I have a life, than spending hours in my phone.
