Apple iPhone SE 2nd Generation, US Version, 64GB, Black - Unlocked (Renewed)

This is the best phone I’ve ever owned, in my opinion. I’m passionate about smartphones, and I’ve loved previous high end Androids. This has a few key advantages over those devices. Simplicity. I used to compile my own Gentoo. I understand the value of FOSS. Still, I’ve come to decide that a personal communicator/ data assistant needs to be usable above all else. iOS is feature-complete, thoughtfully efficient, and free of redundancy beyond Android. The toddler’s interface i used on the iPod touch has matured into what it was meant to be Reliability. I’ve never had big problems with Android, but it can hiccup. On every phone I’ve used over more than a decade, I’ve occasionally experienced minor crashes, GPS gremlins, battery drains, cooling anomalies, and inscrutable major app discontinuations. In nearly a year of use, this old midrange iPhone has been utterly rock solid and i am confident Apple will not yank the rug out from under any of its core utilities. I do not manage the RAM on this phone or track battery usage. It’s just normal at all times. Durability. I do not use phone cases. The concept is a bit bizarre to me from a design standpoint. It’s not ideal, but i just try to be very careful with my phone. I’m good enough at it that, since smartphones emerged, it has been overall worth it for me despite eventually breaking two phones in that period. Still, I’m aging and I’ve dropped it. It’s clear that this phone is comprehensively designed; the materials and structure are unbelievably resistant to impact on hard surfaces. The damage to my phone is entirely cosmetic to the aluminum frame, and frankly makes me smile that it worked as intended in the face of adversity. Performance. My last phone had significantly more raw computing power than this phone. Still, this phone has a smoother UI and, in my opinion, marks a significant point of diminishing returns in mobile processing power. Clearly, little of the hardware is wasted. It is well balanced. Criticisms include: the ability to edit large blocks of text in iMessage has degraded since the last update. Moving the cursor has become more difficult. Battery life is mediocre. I can confidently get a day of normal use or a few hours of streaming video, and i have to charge it every night. My refurbished phone arrived with a gouge in the screen which i consider barely acceptable. The experience is great. I’ve lost interest in cracking software and customizing each UI element with unlimited freedom in favor of a workflow that aligns with my long-term goals. In that regard this phone excels. Lovely bit of hardware and software.

I am so happy with this phone! I was about to buy from another well known site that sells used phones when I discovered that amazon sells refurbished ones and that are fully operational, checked for quality, have a 90 day warranty AND are unlocked!. My 11 yr old daughter had an iphone SE since she was 7 and took good care of it till it accidentally slipped from her hand onto concrete. Even though she was very responsible with it for a long time, I still dont see the sense in getting a brand new phone and spending hundreds of dollars on it for a kid. Even adults have accidents with their phones sometimes and I think the chances are higher with a kid. So when I discovered this option I was overjoyed. It does everything she wants to do - call, text, go on the internet, download apps and games and hers has 5G (careful because I think amazon also sells a 2G one, so I made sure to get this one that says 5G). And this way, if she has a horrible accident with it, Im not out hundreds of dollars. The one she got looks almost new, only a very light scratch on the back which is covered with a case anyway. All we had to do was take her sim card out if her old phone and put it in the new phone and then it asked if we had a nearby apple device we’d like to sync it with (in this case, her tablet) and it walked us through that process. It really couldn’t have been easier! The phone even came with a little tool for getting the sim card out! And a generic brand charger to charge the phone with. I am SO happy with this purchase! Thank you Amazon for having these available at an affordable price!! Affordable options like this are why I keep shopping with Amazon! Oh and the battery health was pretty good, better than my current phone! Maximum charging capacity 91%. For a refurbished phone that is excellent

the SE2 still works perfectly fine for everyday tasks. No stutters or glitches. I don't play games on my phone, but I've never had an issue with calls, texts, navigation, listening to music, or watching videos. The screen is obviously small, but that is a plus in my book. It can be annoying to navigate web pages or watch videos because of the size, but again that is part of the reason I bought it so I don't want to use it as much. The exterior of the phone is almost like new. There is a very fine scratch on the screen that I only notice when holding the phone up to a light. Never notice it in daily use. The only bad thing is the battery life. I average about 3 hours a day of screen on time, and I usually end the day with 10% or less if I don't charge during the day. Again, that isn't a terrible thing in my case since I got this specifically to use less than my other phones, but could be inconvenient when traveling or other long days.

I got mine from MOBILESUPPLY in Excellent Condition. This is more of a review of the seller than the phone itself, as I find that a review on the seller would be more helpful for those interested in purchasing it refurbished. TLDR: Very happy with the product but I had a few problems to actually receiving what I wanted. Firstly, the cons. There were many many pros and a few cons with the seller and product. The product that was originally sent out to me had a broken microphone for video recording. The battery health was at 81% (not terrible because Amazon guarantees a 80 or higher, so it wasn’t super bad but just wasn’t ideal). There were very minute scuffs to the top of the phone but nothing bad, more like you can tell someone might’ve lightly brushed the phone along a wooden table and slid it or something. The main complaint was that the product was faulty. So I sent it back. Secondly, the pros. MOBILESUPPLY was fast with replying, regardless of the time. They were fast and helpful with the process. A few days after I shipped the phone, they received it and shipped it to me the next day. The phone right now has a few scuffs but again, nothing too bad, you’d have to look at the phone from very specific lightings and angles to see the very SMALL and light scuffs. The phone came in damn near perfect condition, with a 99% battery health! Super excited to shoot many cool videos with my new SE. Very happy, not a perfect 5 because of the first mishap but I’m very happy with the end product.

Bought this as a gift for my mom a long time ago (over a year). This phone has not had any problems. It suits her lifestyle and is easy to carry and use since she does not prefer the newer iPhone without the center button. Her only compliant is about storage, however, that is a user not a phone issue ;-) If anyone is looking for a nice Iphone for someone who doesn't want the newer models. This is THEE phone.

This is a good phone for the price. It comes with a charger and everything. My mother initially bought this exact one for Christmas last year 2024 but unfortunately it stopped working after about 6 months of it being gifted to me which was frustrating. The quality of the phone is perfect condition. It was fine up until one day I restarted it and it would show the black apple screen loading and every time the loading bar would get full it would just restart and restart and until the battery died and then after charging it would restart and restart again and I could never even get to the Lock Screen. So I had to buy a new one later with my own money. It came with 100% battery life and everything works perfectly fine. I’ve had this phone now for an entire year no problems so far. I think it’s because I wasn’t updating the phone so definitely make sure you do that lol :)

I bought this for my nephew, to give him a relatively inexpensive smart phone. It's worked out exceedingly well. He doesn't need a top of the line phone to manage his contacts. I would recommend it for a kid who you don't want to buy a top of the line phone for.

Feels brand new and you can’t beat the price! My only issue is the battery draining other than that it’s pretty good, like other folks on the comment section said if you’re having issues with the battery draining make sure you delete a few apps and have space because it is an old phone its to be expected
