She’s hardly on her phone like me so I don’t want to get her anything crazy so I was thinking the newest SE. She loves using my phone for pictures/videos/Facetime/etc so I think it’s time to upgrade her. What would you guys recommend for a first time iPhone user?

    If you’re thinking of getting her the SE, I’d look at getting a certified refurbished 13 mini.

    You get the same chip, better screen, Face ID, better camera, MagSafe, better battery and is around the same price as the SE

    I got my partner an iPhone for his birthday (he came from a Galaxy A52). Got him the 15 pro max. He loves it now ☺️ definitely agree with the comments on getting the iPhone 15/15 Plus or even the 15 pro/pro max if you have the budget as it’s more convenient with the USB-C port.

    I’d replace an SE with a iPhone 13mini if you’re on a budget. If you’re feeling like going all out, get her the regular iPhone 15. If the 15 is too much for you, look down a bit at the “regular 13pro”. You’ll get 120hz, better camera and of course 5G. just no usb-c like the 15.

    Good luck shopping👍🏽

    Se is not a good option for her mainly because of the screen size, get her an iphone 14 plus or 15 plus

    Get her the 12 or the 13 mini. If she’s barely on her phone anyway, she’s going to get pissed if she has to eventually learn an entire new setup than the ol’ home button iPhone arrangement.

    Ask her if she wants to switch to IOS first then bring her to a store for her to try an iPhone to see if she likes it or if you are using one ,you can let her try yours.

    If she doesn’t want to then just stick to Android and buy her one of the model. But if she decides to make the switch, I recommend going for iPhone 15s (if your budget allows you for it) mainly for the USB C as she would already have alot of it laying around.

    I would take her into the store and have her demo the iphone models to see which best suites her. A hands on experience with the product is always the best solution to see what suites them more comfortably.

      a regular 13pro 120hz is a safe bet💯. A SE would be a hot ass mess frfr. If he’s tryna go SE I’d say a 13mini would way better
