My iPhone SE still on 10.2.1 is now gawd awfully slow browsing through the mobile Twitter site using Safari. I can barely type something on it. Apple slowing it down and wants us to travel back to a decade ago with 450-600 MHz speeds. I can go on my Android phones with Kiwi Browser and all is fine typing on Twitter.

I'm now considering selling my SE and replacing it with the original Pixel which I've owned before. That was the smoothest Android phone I had ever owned. Only my Essential is close to it but the digitizer is a bit weak, so the touch response can be a tad off. Just a tad.

Only reason why I want to keep the SE is the design, size, headphone jack, and iMessages. I can also always replace the battery for $50. It's the principle of it all. The underhanded schemes Apple loves to do gets annoying.

Wishlist -
1. Google Pixel 3a
2. Sony Xperia XA2
3. Samsung Galaxy S10e

I also must consider the original Pixel for headphone jack. I did check the photo comparisons between Pixel 2 vs Pixel 3. Some people say Pixel 2 is better. Only in the audio during video recording. The still photos of the Pixel 3 are mostly superior to me with some shots being better on the Pixel 2. I prefer cooler tones than warmer. Cooler tones shows whites more accurate. It's more realistic to the naked eye.

Goodbye to iOS for good. I hate how slow my SE has become. And I have no urge to update it to iOS12. I'll only keep my SE for iPod touch usage.

            My colleague had it for like 8 days and it spoilt for no reason, the repair shop can't fix it and Apple won't give refund. Apple phones worst phone ever.

I bought it from my local electronics reseller, it was a tough decision because of many new powerful Androids phones available on the market. I got it pretty cheap (i paid 230 euro for brand new 32 gb space grey model). I did not run any benchmark tests on it, but its very smooth. You should buy it only from original reseller, and avoid refurbished models!

                                battery status 94% after 10 months of usage

                                  I don't really hate the iPhone SE but I absolutely hate what Apple stands for.

                                  My SE is getting slow. I'm still on 10.2.1 with no plans to update. The new iOS12 would take up 2 GB. I notice every time I check Twitter, I sometimes can't put a message. Just last night, my Dasher app couldn't even connect on where my location was for a dropoff just two blocks away.

                                  I hate this stuff. Greedy. So now I have to spend $50 just to replace the battery. On my favorite phones, I no put ANY iPhones on there. I'm now thinking of selling the SE but I will only cling onto it for iMessages to my relatives and friends. That's it.

                                  I will always be an Android guy. The SE is my iPhone ever but it will certainly be my last one.

                                  1. LG G5
                                  2. Essential Phone
                                  3. LG V20

                                  Just had to put my G5 back on top because of removable battery and ergonomics. My Essential does feel a little weird typing on. Too angular.

                                  Say no to iOS for good. I also don't understand still needing iTunes to add media files. That's like asking Apple for permission to use YOUR OWN media. This isn't 2005 anymore. Hating iTunes and performance slowdowns is why I will never enjoy iOS.

                                  SE is a great iPhone. My favorite iPhone. What will always bring it down is Apple's greed and iOS. With iOS, you get traded like a user. With Android, you're the admin. I'd rather be the admin.

                                        I’m happy IPhone SE space gray owner. It’s still pretty fresh phone, I bought in early 2019, what I most like about it is size, fast processor, awesome 12 mp camera. I don’t really care about watching videos or playing games, mostly I use it for calls, texts and emails. Sometimes I open safari to look over websites. It’s sells pretty cheap now (32gb) you can get it for a great price !!
