The verdict, & two little voices
Should you actually get the 256 GB Apple iPhone SE (3rd Gen) on Verizon?
The editor weighs in — flanked by the optimist on her shoulder and the cynic on the other.
“Touch ID, 144g, 4.7 inches - if that form factor is the priority, nothing else in iPhone delivers it.”
“A 2022 phone with a 2018 mAh battery, 625 nit screen, and no Apple Intelligence for $249 is a hard sell.”
