How do you feel about refurbished phones? I'm in 2 minds about an iPhone 11 and an iPhone XS max. The XS is refurbished and it's similar price to the 11, The 11 is new from Apple. All I want is better battery (6s here) and more memory.

I change phones very frequently. I've done all I can with this and gave it a couple of weeks. Great phone, not so great battery. The additional charger does help though. Onto the next one, as they say.

Made a silly decision to buy one off of Currys/ PC World. Got an email saying 'Your order is on its way' last Monday with a tracking number attached. I understand delays in the current climate but it's almost a week later and the tracking number still isn't live on DPD. Anyone else order off them with better success?

Does anybody find the home button a little stiff? I am flicking between options 1, 2 and 3 and they're all similar.

No issues here. Like above poster said it's not a physical button but a haptic engine giving you the feeling it's a button. So it's not stiffness. Just change home button haptic to 1,2 or 3.

2 is what I have it set to and have no problems.

Yep was thinking that myself, I’ll need to try each option properly but didn’t notice much difference

2 was default wasn't it? That's the one I'm using and finding it okay, its not a button like before but I'm finding it okay to use and double tap

Took mine off charge 7am at 100%.... 90 mins Bluetooth music for a run, couldn't tell you the SOT after that but by 3pm it was less than 35% battery left... Charge up again until 95%(ish) with 5w charger, didn't have my fast charger with me, and now it's 24%. I have been using it a lot today in fairness. Whatsapp, emails, Instagram etc. I know the battery is less than 1850mah. It's just disappointing and I keep expecting more compared to what it is!

I still love it and I would highly HIGHLY recommend a 12w or 18w charger. It does everything else perfect, no lag with great software, excellent camera, excellent sound from speakers, great screen, touch ID is top notch and love using Apple Pay in shops.

Just the battery is downfall but if you can live with charging everyday it's a solid phone.

Just out of interest, what was your usual usage for the phone and how long did you get SOT? How long where you getting from the phone, full day?

For the capacity of the battery, I think it does well considering. I'm happy wen it get's me through a day. But with fast charging, I really don't think the capacity is an issue anymore unless you like heavy gaming

I’ve no SoT numbers to provide. Compared to android iPhone makes that detail hard to determine.

So I’m going on my anecdotal experience. And I found myself saying “The battery is at 30% already?!” on the 8/SE far more than I did on my XS. I always felt paranoid that I needed to be nearer a charger using the SE. And on 4G (instead of WiFi) it just EATS battery.

It’s great to have the portrait mode (albeit with people only) on the SE but that still doesn’t keep me happy. Also, as much as I prefer fingerprint ID I actually prefer the swipe gesture now on the XS. I found it hard to go back to the home button.

The SE is a good phone but it’s firmly targeted at the price-conscious consumer as opposed to the performance-demanding market.

My battery felt terrible the first few days but seems to have improved a lot if that’s even possible

when you set up a new phone there's certain things that download from the cloud that can take ages.

if you've iCloud photos/Messages etc. also reinstalling all your apps from a backup. It all takes quite some time and a battery drain.

Now I am torn as I wanted to get the wife an upgrade from her 6s but now tempted to get the XR if the battery is questionable.

The battery is disappointing. No other way to put it. They brought most of the performance up to 2020 levels but forgot about the battery. It seems to be only slightly better than my iPhone 8. And that wasn’t great either.

I’ve gone back to my iPhone XS now and can’t see myself going back to the SE. Pity too, as I prefer the fingerprint ID.

That's disappointing...I smashed the screen on my XS and was half thinking about getting an SE as replacement until the 12 comes out. I think i'll just fix the XS!

Vodafone eventually rang me back and processed my upgrade on the call. They admitted the website had "some technical problems". 256GB SE 2020 should be posted tomorrow.

I charge up the night before and plug out at 90 to 100%. Flight mode on for the night then approx 8am, or whenever the alarm is set,back to normal. Would be back on 10-15% by 9 or 10pm. 4g and Bluetooth on all day. Approx 1hr spotify, whatsapp during the day and emails.

It's nothing special, but it's grand. The big thing for me was getting a fast charger. Once or twice I didn't charge over night and it's nice knowing a quick blast of the 12 or 18w will top it up quickly.

On another note, Vodafone sent me x2 50 euro refunds this morning (so far), €165 credit (so far!) and after contacting them in Twitter due to their new price plans successfully applied for an unlock code (I'm payg) Great day

Generally the reviews that moaned about battery life was purely looking at the milliwatt hours number and comparing to the huge batteries in phones than have more power hungry screens.

Couldn't agree more.

Looking at buying this phone as a birthday present for a family member. One thing that keeps popping up in reviews is a little negativity over the battery life.

Can anyone who has the phone give me their own opinion on the battery life? Think it's fine once it just about reaches a day through moderate use.

Thanks.

Have mine nearly two weeks.

Unless they will be gaming on this you will easily last the day. I get on average around 4hrd SOT and get about 30hrs from full charge. I normally only charge to 90% at 7 am and I would be at 11% at 22:00 that night.

General usage, calls, messages, whatsapp, safari, odd YouTube video and social media. And a crossword game. Sometimes it will be down to 10% @ 20:00 bit with fast charging, wireless charging and charging in the car, I n3vwr really think about battery.

Also the standby time like on all iPhone is incredible.

Hope this helps

Now mine only came today, but it was at 100% at 2pm or so after charging it from the minute I got it

I havent left it down since doing bits here and there, deleting apps i dont need, signing into things but forgetting old passwords etc, all the things you do with a new phone, and its at 68%

I'm coming from the first SE which wasn't catastrophic bad at 3 years old but any real use during the day would then see it needing another charge come 7/8pm

Would need someone with more usage to get a proper gauge of course

Worse than a 5 year phone?! Don' think so ! Have to say overall very happy with mine, the only thing that's bugging me is the keyboard (Gboard) is obviously smaller due to the smaller screen, but making a serious amount of spelling mistakes. Pain in the hole, suppose it's just a matter of getting use to it.

Try swiftboard.

Also using a 12w and 18w charger. Makes a huge difference.

Also, I think people forget that these phones have flashes for night photos ðŸ˜‚

Contemplating getting this through vodafone, currently with Tesco Mobile prepay and I want to keep my old number. If I do go ahead with this will I be able to receive calls and texts while I wait for the new phone?

Second question is will I have to take a pic of my passport etc to prove who I am or whats the craic regarding that? Lost my pp recently and haven't received a new yet.
