It’s amazing how iPhones hold their value, mid level iPhones from 2 generations ago are still selling for R10k+, with Samsung you often get their current gen flagship phones for that kind of money just a few months after release.

Selling and buying are two different things though.

But Covid and all that shooting up new pricing likely has a lot of people actually being able to sell for what they paid for it.

True … I do agree …

But I don’t trust … battery replacement will cost you more so I’d say second hand istore
 
You cannot put a big battery in a small phone, so if battery life is important to you, don't buy a small phone. SE 2020 and 2022 will have little difference in battery life. Then again a 1800 or 2000mah battery charges pretty quickly.
iPhone SE is not for people that play games or watch videos on their phones the whole day, Screen and battery is too small. It is for people that use their phone as a phone with calls and messaging mostly. Its fast and reliable.

What's the battery life on that? Does it last a full day?

I only have to charge it once a day, so I’d say yes, but I don’t know how long it would last for somebody with different usage habits. I think it’s fine but maybe gaming would tank it?

The SE 2022 does have noticeably better battery life than the SE 2020 because of the A15 processor , I remember that from the reviews. Maybe an extra hour of screen on time, but I’m too lazy to go check right now.

Does the 2020 version do fast charging?

Well I would not call 1 hour extra a huge difference, what will that get you 3pm instead of 2pm?
As for all these will it last you a day, is pretty much the same as people saying they drive from PTA to the South coast on one tank. What does that mean? Some cars have 50L tank other a 150L tank.
I can get 2 days on a charge on my SE if clients don't phone too much. When I sit at home on the weekend with a few load shedding stints, watching TikTok or YouTube it will be flat by 6pm. So go watch reviews and specs on battery life of each phone and get one that will be right for your usage.
 
I can’t see this ending well - but please let us know what you get in the end.

The 2020 funnily enough has fast charging(15W I think) and wireless charging but the battery life is garbage.
I know someone with the iPhone 12 mini and it also has terrible battery life according to him, I don’t think any of the small iPhones have great battery life.
 
Why is this thread even still here?
BWANA please delete it
Thank You

But did you see how much crap I get if I say something doesn’t work? I mean I can’t open PDF files or sent voice notes, but safer to just live it ;)

Like I said earlier, based on previous posts he may run into a number of issues

Yes almost everything he looked at, looked like some dodgy deal and now the guy who always refer to the SE bad battery life looks at buying one. Does nor make sense. Troll attempt I think. From buying R799 Pep store phones to 15k iPhone

I can open PDFs and voice notes. Is the problem perhaps between the screen and couch? ;)
