The iPhone SE is a great phone. I used one for two years until last year. Loved the small size and light weight. But a year ago I wanted a larger screen. I was impressed with the latest iPhones but am frugal and bought an iPhone 7 refurbished from Apple, 128 GB version. It was about $440 as I recall, about 20% off the new iPhone 7. From what I could tell refurbished was just as good as new -- new battery, new case, warranty, and tested. It's been fine and I hope to keep it at least another year. I guess now Apple does not sell the iPhone 7 new anymore. I link to the Apple refurbished site below. I see no iPhone 7's there at the moment. The mix of phones there changes occasionally so you can check again. There are some iPhone 8's.
