OK, so it’s an iPhone SE (2020), AKA the iPhone SE 2, so it isn’t Apple’s freshest model. And this is also a refurbished model, so it’s not brand new.
Don’t let those two points put you off though. In terms of the age of the phone, three years is nothing in iPhone terms. Apple continues to support its phones for upwards of five years after their release, with full software support. Thanks to Apple’s speedy silicon and sharp optimisation, the iPhone SE 2 will still run well too.
As for the point about it being a refurbished model, it’s certainly true that these are second hand units. But they’re also advertised as being in “Excellent Condition”, which means that they might have “very minor cosmetic imperfections but no dents or deep scratches”. They also have a healthy battery.
Currys supplies a 12 month guarantee with these refurbished models, so you’re protected should any fault emerge in the first year after buying.
We gave the iPhone SE 2 a healthy 4-star score at the time, calling it “a downright excellent buy if you want a phone that’ll perform fast and take excellent pictures for years to come.” At this price, the iPhone SE 2 is a true bargain.
