iPhone SE 2022 in 2024… Still Worth It?

1.5k Views 37 Comments



I bought the iPhone SE 2022 in 2024, and I think that it still has value even today! The iPhone SE 2022 is a dated design and it cost $429 at the Apple webstie which is crazy, but I bought this one used in excellent condition on eBay for about $170 and I think it’s still a good phone for certain people!

  1. This phone is still relevant. No point in upgrading to the latest iPhone when you have this and want to minimize your phone use. It's still getting iOS updates and still has a SIM tray. I'm in Canada and all the iPhones here have both the physical SIM and the eSIM. But in the US, that can be problematic especially when one swaps phones on a regular basis.

  5. I just picked one up off eBay a few weeks ago to use as a secondary device. I already have a galaxy S23 as my main phone, but I wanted to also experience iOS without breaking the bank. The design is nostalgic, and the fact this is likely the VERY last classic design iPhone makes me want to enjoy the good’ol home button these last few years while I still can lol

  8. I thought about buying my first iPhone since the iPhone 4 and I´m stuck between a new iPhone SE for 160$ and a new iPhone 12 for 200$. While the iPhone 12 might seem better it terms of display and battery life, the longevity of the iPhone SE it terms of perfomance AND software support is just too good for me to say no.

  11. Totally agree with you! I am using a Samsung and keep this se 2020 as a backup. I have a magsafe case so I can use a magsafe battery pack. The camera is ok…. but can use as a 2nd screen if you got a dj pocket. This case allows me to connect the device without taking it off. Almost dropped my samsung without the case just to connect the device. Apple still makes the best color accurate lcd screen to date .

  12. Sorry to hear about you mum. I still use my iPhone 8 mainly because of Touch ID and I've probably had it for 6 years now, wow time flies! I have an iPhone 13 Mini sitting in a box not opened yet I was going to upgrade to, but my iPhone 8 is still going strong!

  13. Sorry to hear on the passing on your mum.

    My pixel 7 keeps rebooting and not loading up so I need another phone until my next upgrade this year. The SE phone has always been perfect to hold for me I have the 6s but that is unusable due to battery going from 80% to 50% seen some cheap se on facebook

  14. I like touch ID also. I wish my pixel 6a or others still had it on the back … The screen one is just 'ok' for me. I use an iPhone SE 2020 as a backup phone. Will probably consider a new SE if released in 2024 or 25 🙂

  17. Whatever device you used for this video has a autofocus issue. Entire video camera kept going blurry and then clear and then blurry and video jumping..
    What ever device was used for this video has focusing issues.

  18. I picked up my old iPhone 8 the other day and was amazed at how good it felt in the hand. On top of the smaller footprint, I'll actually argue in favor of the bezels because you're not having to do thumb gymnastics to reach every corner. Less accidental presses, a more secure grip on the phone and less travel needed. Obviously bigger bezel-less phones are great for media consumption, but I think a design like the SE still has merit and an consumer base in 2024.

  21. I have a 15PM but now, I'm waiting for my 256GB SE 2022 from Ebay. That will be my primary phone along with my Pixel 4XL. I only use the 15 PM for landscape photography and video capture aside from that, everything can be handled by the SE 2022. I love the Touch ID too. I don't even care about the battery life since I don't do games or Netflix.

  23. I am a huge fan of the SE (2022). I have owned a few of them but got suckered into getting rid of it and buying the latest and greatest, only to find out in short order that the SE was more than enough phone for my lifestyle. I am now going to buy another one and give it another try. I am leary about buying on the second hand market and may just bite the bullet and get it from Apple. I will find some old iPhone to trade-in to take the edge off the price

  26. You are one of the lucky ones with fingerprint readers. My old Galaxy note 10, 22 ultra, 23 ultra and now my 24 ultra. The readers are bad for me. The Only finger I can get to work most of the time in my middle right hand finger. Thumbs will work after I have registered them a couple of times then never again. All phones with rear readers worked most of the time. My old Pixel 5 worked great. I had and iphone SE (1st one) That worked always. I love the my iPhone 15 pro face id. It works all the time. I do have a Pixel 8 and that isn't as bad as the samsungs. My thumbs still work..Mind you I have had my thumbs for 66 years! They must be worn out.

  27. My sister in-law 13 pro is stuck in a loop. I gave her my spare iPhone iPhone se3 set it up for her with all her stuff. She likes it better than her 13pro. Going get her fix thank god for apple care

  29. Classic IPhone. Touch ID FTW. Perfect secondary detox phone. However, if you're not locked into iOS ecosystem the Pixel 7a is a great alternative. Condolences to you. Keep up the good work.

  31. My SIM is in my 2020 SE right now. It’s just such a handy size. I must not need that much storage. Out of 64gb, I’m only using 48.06gb and there’s quite a few things I could delete and never miss

  32. 2016 called, they want their phone back… The iPhone SE is in dire, DIRE need of a redesign. The obvious answer is to replace the body with the iPhone mini, but of course Apple won't do that. I have no idea who this phone is for… aside from maybe people who are afraid of change?

  35. I was gonna rewind , put on full screen and hollar " focus" ( for the movie theater experience) but you covered the issue… I enjoy your videos. They are so genuine. … I'm using my 7tpro 5G McLaren from One Plus. I've been looking at the 6t McLaren for the packaging that it comes with. I liked 7t pro so much but that would be ridiculous. … Any thoughts on doing a AI features coming to S23 ( and One Plus 12). I'm not thrilled about AI magic and like the " dumb phone" concept.

  36. 13 pro max user. Honestly I’d like some type of iPhone SE plus model. I just want the big screen. Also I did look at the 15/ 15 plus and everyone seems to like the new design model but to me it literally feels like a demo phone unit. I’ll keep my 13 pro max until Apple or Samsung makes something worthwhile to upgrade to.

  37. I'm still using an iPhone 7 for my work phone. I was just looking at the iPhone SE literally this morning on Apple's website but I was like, "Nah, I'm not paying $400 for this." So the timing of this video is impeccable! You must be psychic! 😂
