This iPhone was surprisingly powerful, efficient and capable of doing almost anything.
The battery is very small, but its efficiency offsets the size somewhat. It lasts less than a day, but it also charges very quickly, because there's not much to charge.
What I disliked most was Apple itself: coming from Android, I missed being able to customize things. Additionally, there aren't open source alternatives on Apple. It feels very closed. You can choose an alternative keyboard, for example, but it's a false choice: whatever you choose is basically a skin over Apple's deficient keyboard. Similarly, any alternative web browser is just a front for the Webkit engine. You're locked into their world.
On the plus side, if you can stand the locked down feel of it, they support their phones for a long time and you'll receive updates for many years.
It's a surprisingly good phone, but it simply wasn't the right phone for me.Pros- Efficient

Very good device, actually is very cheap, very good performance for a 100€ phone, very good at games, updated to latest IOS 18, the really bad thing about this device is the small battery, sometimes you need to charge it every 3 or 5 hours, it usually overheats

Ah, The iPhone SE 2020. The smartphone which I got severe RAM shortages with. Just the amount of RAM and one button are enough for me to say it's a bad phone. However, it goes deeper than that for me to decide to upgrade to an iPhone 11. First, the photos look under-saturated, mildly pixelated, and even scary, unless you take nighttime shots. Second, the battery is even worse than my iPhone 11, so much so that I sometimes run out of battery after just 4 hours, which is about iPad Air 1 battery life when updated to iOS 12.5.5, so its battery life is similar to that of a 10-year-old tablet with 5-year-old software! Third, the flash is REALLY weak, and lastly, the screen is very, very dim. Even in dim areas.
Pros- Not as durable as the iPhone 11, but close
Cons- Home button exists
- Insufficient RAM
- Horrific daytime photos
- Terrible battery life
- Ultra weak flash
- Dim screen
- 3.1
- Screen3.7
- Performance2.6
