Get a 2nd hand iPhone X . Same size full screen and pretty much same chip . Or get both and try to honestly say which one you wouldn’t even consider putting the sim in after a week
for someone like me who still love the iPhone 8 design and wants better specs, this phone is perfect for me.
My 17 year old refuses to let me upgrade his 8 because of the Touch ID, now I can hook him up.
I like the 7 with it's non glass back. Does the new SE really offer better performance?
David B It’s very similar to the 7 as the 7 and 8 aren’t too drastically different.
No worth it. You’re gonna get 1-2 hrs of screen time with that small battery and high processor. I’m keeping my iPhone 8 until apple release a phone better than android. Been waiting for years now.
OnePlus: Makes a 899$ Phone
Apple: Makes a 400$ Phone
Well, 2020 is a weird year...
Marques: we will see when I get this new iPhone in hands
Everyone: IMPOSSIBLE
He's already been using it
He's just waiting for the 2 week mark to tell us
Shocked he hasn't had one since early Jan.
Of course that this price, for this much phone, Apple won't need much help selling it.
Moving from SE to SE2. Going to miss the squared edges and headphone jack big time. Like that they kept home button intact
I'd consider the iPhone 8. With the money you save, you can afford Airpods
@@BoyarsMedia call me old fashioned but who wants a pair of 2.2 ghz RF transmitters sticking out of their head?... I don't think if Jobs was around he would greenlight deleting the headphone jack. Total dis to the audioheads out there. And what if you wanna use headphones and charge at same time -- you need a splitter. Extreme lame, Apple
The lack of a headphone jack is one of the main reasons I'll never buy another iPhone. I'm an audiophile, and sorry to say this, but the quality of Bluetooth audio just isn't up to my standards.
Wow, never thought id hear budget and new iphone in 1 sentence 😂
“Hey grandma do you need the new iPhone? It has an A13 bionic chip.”
Hahaha they wouldn't care about the screen or anything the phone doesn't have, but they would care about the A13 bionic chip... that's logic of his is really something huh?
Exactly my thoughts when I heard him say that they don't care about the spec sheet and then went on to mention A13😂😂😂
When your phone is cheaper than a computer wheel.
What is a computer wheel do. I'm sorry for not knowing it's just, how does it work? I've never seen one before.
Zack Kros pretty sure its like fire the people who got like the big desktop and it lets them roll it around I am probably wrong
@@zackkros7528 you can move the computer around easier. Is literally wheels at the bottom
I get it now. You move the computer desk with the wheels. I'm kind of not smart.
I've been using Android phones for almost 10 years now. Recently I've been wanting to go iOS, but couldn't/didn't want to drop $1000 on a new phone. I am definitely buying this $399 SE.

@@pawelpow are you serious! OnePlus is gaining market share. Why do you think apple released the SE when OnePlus came out with 8?
Marques: i dont have the phone..
Marques next week: so I’ve had the phone about a month now
He already has it, check at @6:03 you can't do this with a normal iphone 8 and thats not a plus model
I've been waiting for a meaningful upgrade from my 6s for 4 years now. As soon as I heard that it has the A13 and touch ID for $400, I was sold. Already pre-ordered. Probably won't upgrade until the next SE.
What is Touch ID?
I don’t keep my phone locked? Lol
But yeah I just got this from my 6s that was horrible with battery
Had it 4 years
Marques' videos gleam with quality! He purposefully makes scenes look "cluttered" but in a pleasing way, with meticulously placed objects that are usually relevant to the video topic.
Apple: "And it comes in red, black or white"

Great incite into the new Iphone SE, informative as always!
Dude .. I like your insight about tech. Enjoy watching your act and the way you simplify things for us.
Breaking news : due to less pollution Apple budget phones are now visible.
i love how he’s acting like he hasn’t been using it for the past 2 weeks
Rohit Jacob Rajiv not too sure, it’s just an ongoing joke on this channel :)
i love what he said at 6:17 and beyond. many android users were saying how “bezels are too old... refresh rate isnt even that good.. no HD screen”... what most ppl want is a phone that simply WORKS. they dont care about a full size screen or the pixels... they just want a phone that isnt slow and delivers. apple nailed it with this product
Androids aren't slow, if you get something 300 and lower yes, you can get any Android to your preference with apple you get one design
That is so true, I used to work at Verizon and still have tons of friends who still do and what we would see back 13 years ago and now is that the vast majority of people want a phone that is a reasonable price, works, a brand they know and trust, not the latest and greatest innovation/specs and so on. Honestly Apple releasing it now during this lockdown and hard economic time is beneficial for them because the price point is insane at full price or payments.
well the thing is, this probably the next iphone I like from iphone 6, I've always kind of never liked iphones, but they held my respect until iphone 6 (I'm in India and since iphone 7 prices were just joke inflated).
This phone is what most Indian market and let's say a smart market looks for. It's not about mid range but how much do you need, if it works well, can do top quality app performance or gaming performance, has a good camera. It's a good phone
It's not Android, but Redmi, OnePlus that held that title for a while. And now iPhone swoops in and does well, actually Samsung has been doing really bad in this department. From how they actually got famous, by not caring about model but software and pricing, to now Samsung has kind of turned into Apple.
I've always and still will hate the concept of ios tho. Need everything apple, that's just dumb.
Great video 👍
Conclusion: A recycled iPhone 8 with iPhone 11 specs. Meant for the ones that are still holding to their iPhone 5/5s/5se/6/6s and maybe 7.
Just like how the first SE was an Iphone 5 shell with up to date (at the time) speca.
@Seceretsalmon id get your hands on a 4.7inch iphone again before pulling the trigger. Tried to go back to a 7 but couldn't do the small screen size.
Awesome video mate! Thanks for making it.. had lot of buying questions about IPhone SE cleared
Me: expecting the, "so i have been using this phone for a week."
The video:
I was half-expecting him to start the video with something like “I’ve had this phone for a few months now...”
David Villa oooh thanks for letting me know, love it when they acknowledge it 👌
Great and honest review!
Great review pre-ordered one in the UK arrives next week
"It's a pretty small percentage of us that care about bleeding edge specs in tech."
It's amazing to me how many people in comment sections don't get this.
ChrisJ Fox Also seems like many tech bloggers and vloggers don’t get this detail. The market does not mirror the tendencies of the talking heads unboxing tech for content.
Exactly. It's not "aPpLe sHeEp dOn"t cArE aBoUt sPeCs" but rather, they just have different priorities and preferences than you.
That said, the screen on this SE is really outdated. Most people don't care about resolution or refresh rate or OLED, but the bezels are still super thick. I feel like the only people who will buy it are people with really small hands, or parents buying it for their youngest children.
I always watching your videos. From philippines ❤️
Outstanding review, and very intelligent. My compliments, and yes, you sold me

Bro, I love your camera setup. Beard hairs be poppin.
Thank you for your input, Marques! I’m debating to purchase this for my parents or the iPhone 11. The price point is definitely a deal. The only drawback is that home button. If it had face detection it would be perfect for them since their finger prints are difficult to be clearly accessed at times. I was hoping you had one in hand with tests! But I look forward to the next video soon. ☺️
Just curious, do people really care about that stuff? I've been using my 4 digit pin thing forever (I'm 33) and I haven't even felt the need for another login system. Just saying, some people don't look at these features the same way.
Jaigarful, I do care about it. I always see people looking over my parents phone and I have to constantly remind them to cover their phones. They have the finger print detection but they do so much outside work at times their fingertips are cut up and end up putting bandaids on then putting their pins cause their fingerprints are undetectable. I’m going to buy them the se. Most important thing to them is that they have an updated phone and can FaceTime their grandchildren. I’ll just buy them a screen privacy protector. ☺️

I think this is one of his rarest video in which Marques didn’t say “So I have been using this for a week/month now”.
Mr. Charles Smith Its a joke dude. Hes just saying that cause Marques always gets stuff extremely early.
we all wanted a new iphone se in the old 5s/se design with a full screen..
Eh, personally bevels don't bother me either way. I'd rather have a home button. I like my old SE's size, but typing on it can be a bit rough with larger fingers.
Hello no, just got my old 5s out of the box, have no clue how people used a screen that small
Currently using SE from 2016. I'm thrilled for the SE 2020!!

like a reasonable price? This is why Im confused beyond anything when people buy overpriced iphone like XR
@@kzpm9796 I agree, but when average consumers look at the designs of phones and then the prices, they would by the phone that has the same design at a cheaper price.
Of course watching it on my good old SE, letting him serve his last days.
Zach Reynolds in the end phones are just objects to be owned, so as it’s owner I have decided it’s ‘him’ :) ;)
In general tho, you’re right, that’s my broken English xD
Wesley Yu, True, I had mine for over 3 years now and it only crashed on me like three times, I do not have an urgent need to swap my phone, but I just fancy the next one for the sake of A13 Bionic chip. I find that my old SE heats up ridiculously when I am running a bit more graphically demanding games (when travelling, I like using it with my Xbox controller) or even some simpler tasks when “multitasking” between apps.
Great video
thank you sir. solid points
Plot twist : he just got the phone but is waiting for two weeks.
Mkbhd boomer just assumed 5% of us care about phone design, then proceeds to make that a fact? Wtf?
Was really waiting for "I've been using this for a week now" lool
Good video but what standard out to me was the logo for the podcast, I like it so much and I couldn’t stop thinking about it the rest of the vid 😂
I'm glad you bring it up about the old SE design. I really miss that smaller size. So I'm a bit sad that that size is now dead.
Nah, it’s just too intriguing to find out how long my 5SE can last before it looses its will to live
Honestly I think this is part of the fun of being an apple user. I've had my SE for 3 years now and it still works very very well. It's almost comical to watch everyone else debate about new products and how good/bad it is while we just stand from the side line like "mm that's nice"
In a couple of years they will have a cheaper iphone xr and rename it SE
Couple? If you're lucky. Probably a few more than that, but with whatever the latest processor is to be fair...
I dont think so. Xr will be too old. When the first se came out the 8 wasn't out, too
Sam Lung it would be the iPhone XS phone cause the SE will have the oled display and in a few years oled displays will be the new standard
...which would be a pretty good deal for like $400, if they put the newest cpu/camera in.

The home button with Touch ID is a huge selling point, as is the smaller size of the SE, because it enables easy one-hand operation. These factors are very important to me and probably millions of other middle aged or elderly people.

I'm looking to upgrade from my old LG G6 very soon, and the point you made about software updates is pretty much the entire reason I'm jumping ship from being with Android for almost 9 years to Apple. I'm tired of getting a phone that doesn't get updates after 2 years

No it's Apple not OnePlus or Samsung. Apple don't give out early access phone.
"90 percent of people don't care about the spec sheet of your phone, but when you tell them hey here's a phone for 400 bucks and it has the A13 Bionic, it seems a like a no-brainer".

You'll know that year is messed up when iPhone is cheaper than oneplus
No, it's the other way around, iPhone is cheaper than oneplus, cause the year was messed up.
But the 12 will still be more expensive then oneplus for the premium models, the SE yeah
Why are you comparing One Plus’ highest end phone with Apples lowest end phone in terms of price? Apple is still more expensive than One Plus

So he needs to use 10 mins covering all prices in different countries? If you want a vid that speaks on price in India then go watch an Indian CZcamsr.
Best freaking reviewer on CZcams.
I like the bezels as they give me something to hold onto without activating the touchscreen. I’m also a big fan of the fingerprint reader so I can use my phone flat on the table, and not have to lean over it to unlock it.

buuuuuuuuuuuut there are androids that are better for this price, and most people getting this phone are apple users/fanboys (this is just my opinion apple is good for high priced phones, but they are new to the cheap phone market)

Woomy Nation name androids that has a better chip and camera at this price range
There’s one issue with the iPhone SE 2. I’ve had an iPhone 4 and 6 and been living with the big bezels forever and now I’m thriving for something different at a low price point. I hate the bezels
