Apple iPhone SE 1st Gen 16GB — Compact 4-inch Unlocked iPhone
The Apple iPhone SE (1st generation) packs the Apple A9 chip and 16GB of storage into a pocket-sized body with a 4-inch 1136x640 Retina display, in Space Grey. This unit is unlocked, professionally tested and reset by Reboot IT, and comes with a 12-month warranty.
Key Benefits
-
Truly one-handed: the 4-inch display and compact body fit any pocket and are easy to use with one thumb.
-
Apple A9 chip: the same chip family Apple used in the iPhone 6s, so calls, messages, maps and everyday apps run smoothly.
-
Unlocked: ready for a SIM from your chosen Australian carrier.
-
Touch ID: fingerprint unlock built into the Home button (platform feature of the iPhone SE).
-
Headphone jack: keeps the 3.5mm headphone socket, so wired earphones plug straight in.
-
Tested locally: checked, cleaned, graded and reset to factory settings by Reboot IT in Melbourne.
Performance in Use
As an everyday phone, the iPhone SE handles calls, SMS, iMessage, email, web browsing and navigation without fuss. It suits someone who wants a small, simple iPhone rather than a large modern handset, or a business that needs a dependable spare for staff, a work phone for calls and authenticator apps, or a handset for a child or older relative.
The 16GB storage is best for calls, messages and a modest number of apps and photos. Heavy photo libraries, large games and offline video will fill it quickly, so iCloud or another cloud service is a good companion.
Please note the iPhone SE (1st generation) supports iOS up to iOS 15, Apple's final major release for this model. Most popular apps still run, but some newer apps require a later iOS version, so check the app you need before buying.
