Hi
Thnaks all

Still not bought one. I'm slow off the mark as uncertain but noted phone a few quid cheaper.

Why is the se 2020 so much cheaper?

I want fast internet contection and several apps and a few pictures and that is about it - sufing the net will be 98% of the use as we use our landline for calls.

They consider it as a budget version.
It is good enough for general use, but the screen is small by today standard.
The software support until 2027

Edit: I am android user and I have an iphone as work phone.
I would go for Pixel 6a instead if I am in your case.

Hi

Thanks all. Update. I have been considering pre-owned iphone 11.  
However, even going for one that looks and feels brand new, I'm not sure
what problems to look out for.
I've been reading Truspiot reviews etc but a lot of them are for other cheaper phones, cables or just getting item delivered.
Is there anyone here that has boguht used iphone, had a problem and was sorted out without a problem

Thanks

I bought a used 13 pro from Giffgaff a few weeks ago.  It looked as good as new.  The battery was at 88% so I returned it for a refund, no problem at all.

As long as whoever you buy it from has a decent return policy then you should have no issues if you decide you don't like the phone.

Free postage both ways so no cost to me, money refunded to my account promptly.

Bought another on ebay from loop mobile - no issues at all.

Hi
Many thanks, appreciated.
Company noted 100%

Just need a few more ideas to compare for prices etc

Btw - what is an acceptable level of used iphone batter please

I expect to keep this phone for a few years so I wanted battery health to be over 90% ideally above 95% but was happy with the price I paid to go with 93%.

Lower than 85% I would want the price to reflect that as a new battey might be needed relatively soon.
