Apple Iphone Se Review in 2018 - Is it worth it?

Well this is the best 4" smartphone Apple has to offer so far in 2018 the iPhone SE is one of the most powerful and most affordable devices from Apple when it comes to compact phones and one-hand use and despite this thing selling for less than $200 and zero goes on contract is it worth it and how does it perform let's find out let's start with a very very quick unboxing so inside the box is the phone itself user manual five inch wall adapter lightning cable a pair of white headphones with a normal headphone jack because this is one of the few phones that still has a headphone jack besides that is running on the Apple a9 chip which is the exact same processor on the iPhone 6s so it's pretty safe to say this thing is almost as powerful as the iPhone 6s just in a smaller 5s body for the most part the hardware's are quite similar to the 6s which I will get back to in a bit but let's face towards the forest display now depending on who you are you might see the forest display has a positive or negative it's a very compact phone which not only makes it easy to carry around but it also offers a lot of power and a great battery life but on the other side of the story you might prefer a bigger screen size for a better user experience especially how with the iPhone X we're moving to as a bezel-less display to find a good sweet spot between bigger displays and something that's easy to carry around for my personal taste I would have switched back to a 4-inch display has my daily driver but I still use this phone has my secondary phone and that's because of the ease of use and the portability now the display is 60% screen to body ratio not as powerful or has sharp as the OLED panels on the iPhone X but for the most part is good enough to get the job done now speaking terms of performance the iPhone se does not glitch out unlike the iPhone 5s which very recently drop in performance with all the bugs and glitches this guys so far so good speaking in terms of speed the iPhone X is definitely faster but this is more for difference you notice on hands-on comparisons using the phone solely by self doing everyday things I don't really feel like I'm losing on performance so that's a good thing gaming is another category the phone does really good at my only drawback would be the force display but again if you're okay with that or once you get used to the forest display you'll be fine now switching back to the outside I did not spend a lot of time talking about the outside and the hardware since it is something you're probably well aware of but for a general statement is a pretty solid form for the prices being offered out it does like water resistance which honestly is a big deal in 2018 compared to other phones that at least have some kind of IP reading besides that we have a 12 megapixel camera on the back which is almost as good as the iPhone 6s or even the iPhone sevens camera is able to shoot a 4k and take some incredible pictures with Twinkle accuracy and the perfect amount of sharpness and saturation just as expected from Apple the front-facing camera is on the disappointing side is so 1.2 megapixel camera nothing compared to the competition and well I really have a lot to say about it it is okay to get the job done turning to the bottom beside the headphone jack and the microphone we have a single down firing speaker which gets fairly loud for its kind and throughout the volume level is able to maintain a solid user experience and moving back to the internals another thing the iPhone se lacks in is 3d touch and while it's pretty understandable for me they weren't able to fit the technology in this small device and honestly doesn't make a big difference for me but it is something worth pointing out we also have a 2gb of RAM which is sufficient for daily usage and performs pretty well thanks to the optimized software but for long-term use a bigger round would be ideal especially if you're planning to buy a new device and keep it for a few years other than that is a great phone battery for my unit served me pretty well and easily got me through out the time I'm at school or work but if you are a heavy user or want a phone to last until you hit the bed you might need to carry your power bank or compromise on usage so overall is it worth it in 2018 absolutely especially if you're getting a on $0 on contract or from a third party seller or even used one because it will fall under $200 but if you're buying a new from Apple I would say so little on the pricey side besides that it performs pretty well with iOS 11 and will be supported for another two generations of iOS it's not up to the speeds of the iPhone X but does a fairly good job with the decent battery life or device this but lack of water resistance and not so great from facing camera is definitely a little downfall and considering the 60% screen to body ratio that is soon to disappear I'll read the iPhone se a 7 out of 10 only because of the performance and the quality delivers from Apple at this price point and yeah guys that would be your wrap let me know what you think about the iPhone se and a comment down below and
