I'm actually surprised at how fast the iphone se is, for every day
tasks, it's not much slower than the XR or 8, definitely faster than
the 5S. The only thing I have noticed is that the cell reception is not
quite as good in some areas as with the 8 and XR, the SE will have less
bars in some areas, it's a great little phone, I was kind of sorry to
see it discontinued even though the technology in it was starting to
show its age.
Original message:
With my XR, I bumped my SE to my business cell since my trusty 5S was
giving me more and more trouble. Slightly annoying that the SE's a 64
GB device since it's got nothing on it now, but oh well. Slowness aside
on the 5S which is to be expected for such an old device, it started to
act all weird on me. VO wasn't reading the phone numbers and often, it
would automatically call people.
The 5S has a broken volume up button, a touch ID that doesn't work and
a rear camera that's also broken. My wife changed the battery on it
over the summer so as a super simple internet device, it can still
work. She's going to buy the replacement camera module ($12 or so) and
try to fix it. We've got nothing to lose. It's already broken.
We'll probably use it as a security camera or something. She's also got
designs on taking it out with her to rack up more shoppkick and iBotta
points by piggybacking off of her cell's personal hotspot. We're going
to use that sucker for something until the wheels fall off.

I also got an XR to go with my iPhone 7 Plus, which just got a nice new
battery, thank you Apple for the rather inexpensive battery replacement
program.
I retired in old iPad mini too, which I used for lots of book reading.
So the 7+ is now taking over for that phone. I only have one working
phone. That is just one phone line. But I think I will be set for
several years to come with these phones and their big batteries.

I would love an XR, I could afford one but I really just don't see the
need at this point and I never found much use for having more than one
cell phone. When I bought my current 6S Plus I first kept my 5S and
thought I would use it at home, for Audible and all that. I quickly
noticed I just never did so I sold it.

So, I decided to add another iphone to my collection, the Iphone XR,
so I have an XR, an Iphone 8 and an Iphone SE. It's a nice phone, the
Apple store only had one case for it which was an Otterbox.
Unfortunately the Mophie juice pack is not available for this phone,
at least not yet. I wasn't sure how easy it would be to get used to
not having a home button but it wasn't too bad, basically a short
swipe up from the bottom takes you home and a longer swipe opens the
app switcher. The vibrations are helpful but once you do it a few
times, you learn how far you must swipe up for each function. Battery
life seems really good especially if you turn the brightness all the
way down and turn off the true tone, over all it's a great phone for my
collection.
