iPhone?

Looking to renew my ageing Samsung Android phone. Thought I might go back to an iPhone - I always had them as my work phone, so used them for several years - so what to get.

I’m definitely not going to be paying £1k for a phone so it’s either used or a cheaper new one.

The iPhone SE - 2020 - 64gb looks ok to me. Anyone got any hands on experience of one? They are £399 on the Apple site.

Alternatively, if anyone has a decent iPhone* for sale, I could be interested.

*would need to be unlocked or Vodafone

Son got one on Friday, feels nice, although I’m just using an£80 phone so I guess it would feel good.

Ali’s got the 2020 SE, seems good.

I was thinking of going back too, but probably the 12 Mini because of my tiny Trump hands.

I really liked the old se size wise

Current SE is good. I have an 11pro and should have just waited for the SE.

What is it with all these midget phones? 11 pro max as a minimum

Way too expensive.

£399 is pushing it for a phone in my world

Bought a 2020 SE for FoL V2.0 for Xmas. She was thrilled with it. I would be inclined to go with one when/if I replace my phone as the 12s are all stupidly huge.

IPHONE SE (2020) (cashconverters.co.uk)

My 85-year-old mum has one, and she gets on with it much better than her previous Android phone. My work iPhone 8 is pretty much identical, which also helps.

Power crazy you mods, who do I speak too to make a complaint?

My 84 year old mum has one too. She just couldn’t get on with Android. It’s been a godsend this past year with FaceTime.

Just bought the XR for Zoe, she’s loving it. It’s got an amazing screen, all the features she wanted. £475.00 out of off of Tesco mobile.

The XR is a great phone, and was always a bit underrated because it wasn’t quite the shiniest. The battery life in particular was superb - I used to get two days even with heavy use. I’ve just upgraded to the 12 Pro Max, but only because I wanted a larger screen.

5 years old now (this thread and my phone) and although the battery is still holding out reasonably well (81%) it’s starting to make very strange buzzing noises every time I hit the home button. Probably time to replace it before it finally pops its clogs.

Max budget £500

No interest in using it for gaming, the only things I expect to use it for are Whatsapp, Gmail, occasional browsing, timer (for cooking) banking app (rarely) and the alarm function (so that I don’t miss the ferry!)

Screen size isn’t high on my priority list.

Camera performance is not important, I will use it for occasional snaps but I have plenty of cameras for ‘real’ pics.

It will be tethered to my Macbook (frequently) as my broadband often drops out.

Reluctant to go for refurbished models as I want the battery to be in peak condition.

Thinking of a 16e which seems to tick all of the above boxes and can be had for £499 on Amazon.

Anyone had one/got one? Opinions? Alternatives? (iPhones only, zero interest in Android models)

I’d go for a 15 Pro, it’s probably the best iPhone I’ve had so far and I tend to replace every year or two. That should be supported until 2030 with security and IOS updates.

Avoid the iPhone Air like the plague, it’s an absolute POS (and so is IOS 26)
