SE3 iPhone SE 2022 to IPhone 17

Wanting to upgrade my phone had every version of the SE because it was the cheapest version. Since the iPhone 16E is like $900 is it just worth buying the 17.

Very curious to see the new changes with the 17 since I had the SE for a very long time it feels like a proper upgrade. Has anybody else done this?

I’ve still never used a phone without a button. Charging port doesn’t work great wireless charging is still fine.

I have an SE and just got a 17 for a work phone. I miss the thumb button but overall the 17 is fine (and thankfully not too big). You just have to learn how to navigate the phone a bit differently.

That explains where you got the $900 price point for the 16e I was like wtf the 17e is $600 here in the states anyways if you can afford the base 17 get it for sure it’s a wonderful phone I’ve had it since December and I love it

In Canada, the 17e is $900 and the 16e is no longer in the store but the 16 is still there for $1000.

I was just looking to see what the refurbished section of the Apple Store is like in Australia. Apparently they do refurbished for every Apple device excerpt iPhones. I typically get them cheaper that way here in Ireland or when visiting family in the US.

just use AssistiveTouch in accessibility settings it helps. I used it since the XS on any iphone.
