Little to no signs of use
I couldn't find any scratches on the housing on my Refurbished iPhone SE. The device appears to be as good as new. The screen also appears scratch-free at first. But when I hold the screen up against the light, I see a few very light scratches. In my opinion they are negligible. Because when I use the device, I don't like them.
Sustainable packaging
Refurbished iPhone SE comes in a durable Renewd packaging. In it I find an Apple charger and an Apple Lightning to USB A cable. With these original Apple accessories, I'm sure it will work well with my iPhone. What I don't find in the package are earplugs. Luckily I already have earplugs at home.
Good battery condition and the latest software
I see that the battery health on this device is 100%. This means that a brand new battery was installed in the smartphone during the refurbishment. The battery therefore lasts just as long as a new device. Just like with Apple iPhone, with refurbished iPhone I don't have to worry about software updates. iPhone SE was launched in 2020, so that means I will be installing the latest software updates on my smartphone until 2026.
Small size fits comfortably in the hand
Refurbished iPhone SE is a relatively small device. This allows me to operate it comfortably even with my small hands. I also operate the screen well with one hand. I reach the top half of the screen with my thumb. That's something I can't manage on my own device, iPhone 11 Pro.
Single camera without unnecessary extras
I have meanwhile been spoiled by an iPhone with 3 cameras on the back, but the quality of the single camera on iPhone SE is fine. I like to send photos to my parents and friends, and this device is certainly suitable for that. In addition, I think the portrait mode is an addition. In addition, the background of my photo becomes blurred thanks to the bokeh effect. Something I miss with this camera is the night mode. Photos that I take during an evening walk are therefore poorly lit.
Clear LCD screen
Refurbished iPhone SE's screen is bright and I find the colors vibrant. Still, I wouldn't be so quick to grab Refurbished iPhone SE to watch a series. And that's because of the small size of the screen. With its 4.7 inch, I think it's too small to comfortably watch movies.
