iPhone SE vs. iPhone 13 Buyer's Guide: Apple's Cheapest iPhones

[harriska2]

My husband and I are on a mini 13/12 and love them. That said, I’ve accidentally picked up my son’s regular 12, the size difference isn‘t huge. Any bigger and it’s a big nope from me.

I got a couple of New SE 3 on Straight Talk for $149, with $25 TracFone service plan unlocked after 60 days.

I purchased and activated a single month of service, and 60 days later they were automatically unlocked. These have the same CPU and GPU as the 13 and are undoubtedly an incredible value.

That said, having used all three SE devices for everyday use cases, SE to SE2 was a large jump, but the SE2 to SE3 feel like they perform similarly. That said I dont use either than think 'boy this is slow!', but your use cases may be different. If so, maybe it's time to upgrade?

Not sure what basis or evidence you have to speak to 'the greediest company in history', so no real comment there. Sounds somewhat baseless to me.

They also have the 128GB SE 2 for $100, I snagged one and use it for my work phone (VoIP, don't have service on it, WiFi only). https://www.straighttalk.com/all-phones/iphone-se2.white

@D_J That's a great deal! Thank you for the link. My work requires a Mac or PC, so I don't use my phone much anymore. I only use my phone when I'm outside or a few minutes before bed.

Coming from an iPhone8 it was hard to pass up an SE3 at Costco yesterday for $71.64 over 36 months (@ 1.99 per month plus a $100.00 Costco gift card rebate)!
I’ll wait until the iPhone15 pro features are more main stream in two years to upgrade to USB-C, etc…

36 months though?

sounds like you cant 'pay it off early', and to get your savings you have to stay for 3 years.

may want to double check the terms of the promo...
