I should have looked better, spent money on an ordinary product.

So guys, in my opinion, the new SE is a compromise between human convenience and Apple's greed.
While the first SE was really a relatively budget (according to Apple's framework) super-phone, indestructible, fast, with an optimal screen size for its time, a normal battery . But this is not even close to say about the new one. The feeling that they took almost all the things that are key for people and worsened them in order to justify the price reduction (I repeat once again, 50 thousand for a "budget" phone is some kind of overkill). Here they put an old camera, here a battery that does not justify even the lowest expectations, here something with the speed of the bluetooth was not screwed up.
In general, if there was a choice, a new SE or an old SE with more memory, a new processor and a slightly better camera, I would definitely take the old SE. Moreover, I’ll say that I’m seriously thinking about buying an old SE 128 GB. It only stops that they stop ating the software for it.

Pros

I must say right away that I switched from the first SE after 4 years of operation. Advantages: - modern phone - large amount of memory - the camera is better than the first SE - Touch-ID, not Face-ID that's where the pros end

Cons

- price. Yes, everyone writes about the price of almost 35 thousand. But this is only for 64GB. If you want to buy 256, then prepare from 48-50 thousand for the PCT device. - BATTERY! this is the biggest disappointment in the phone! When you charge a new phone twice a day, and even worry that after that it will last until the evening on a charge, this is too much! On a 4-year-old Iphone SE 1, the battery held comparable ! And I'm talking about the usual amount of time on the phone. Without endless watching videos and social networks. - attention, on the first (!) day of operation, an iPhone in a SILICONE case fell in the car at the feet. The result is a cracked screen! My previous SE, also in a silicone case, flew from a height of 186 cm to a tiled floor - and he never had anything at all! And this happened very often. - like this phone is super-efficient, but some things, it seemed to me, are slower than in the previous one. For example, if in the previous phone after exiting the elevator 3G was shown instead of LTE, then I simply turned off the cellular network and after 5 seconds turned it on and almost immediately the phone found LTE. It doesn't work that way on the new machine. No matter how long you wait, 3G will still turn on. Or wait until he otduplitsya and catches LTE. - No standard headphone jack. I understand that Apple will no longer release phones with this input, but I hoped that they would do it on the "budget model". It is extremely inconvenient in a phone in which you constantly need to recharge even a new battery, make a choice - charge the battery or listen to the phone through wired headphones - surprisingly, my old Iphone SE found wireless Air Pods almost instantly and did not even have to wait for a pop-up window - just plug in the earpiece. Immediately you have to wait for a pop-up window, which sometimes really blunts, and only then stick the earpiece into your ear. - camera. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary here. The usual camera of a modern phone.
