The small iPhone SE packs big-league power. Here’s who needs to upgrade now.
The new iPhone SE, at $429, is Apple’s smallest and least expensive new iPhone. It’s designed for people new to the iPhone, or who have been hanging on to older iPhones for a while. I’ve been reviewing iPhones for 15 years now, and for people with older phones, it’s amazing how much things have changed (although the phones may look the same). Cameras and radios, especially, have gotten a lot better over the years, giving you faster connections, better low-light photography, and superior selfies. But at the same time, if it ain’t broke, you don’t need to upgrade. If your phone works just fine, and you’re satisfied with its speed, camera, and connectivity, you can stick with it. Here’s a rundown of who I think should consider upgrading, and whether they need to step up to the new iPhone SE: Even if you love your iPhone 5s, it’s time to stop using it iPhone 5s or earlier: Upgrade immediately.
