Advice on picking an iphone!

marl · 2 Apr 2018 at 22:26

Hi guys,

my 6 year old HTC Sensation is really staring to show its age and its time to upgrade. I want to get an iphone but am not sure what model to go for.

I like the idea of something small and compact and the SE seems to fit the bill!

Any ideas how it compares to the other models - or any reasons why not to get it and go for something else?

There’s no reason not to get an iPhone. All models are great to be honest. Easily repairable too.

The SE is a good phone (I have one for work, and a iphone 8 as my personal phone).
However, be aware that the SE is likely to be updated at some point this year according to macrumors.

SE2 this year with iPhone 8/X features

I've had nothing but iPhones since the 3G and I've never been tempted to switch. Currently have an X and it's great, albeit a little bit more premium priced than it needs to be.

My friend got a SE last year and he is really happy with it. His needs was more to do with size than anything else

Grab a cheap refurbished £99 iPhone SE, from one of the big recyclers, see what you think. I just got one, listed as Good condition, and other then a small mark in the metal on the rear, it was mint, make sure you get one for the correct network, mine was O2 in gold.

If you don't like it stick it on selling page for waft you paid, and it'll be gone inside a day.

That was envirophone through ebay, I've also had one from Music Magpie at £10 more but unlocked, that one want as good but no screen damage. Just have a look around, there are many available.
