I own an iPhone SE (for personal usage, not work) and it is awful. I absolutely love small form factors. However, it's not practical. The iPhone SE and iOS do not play nice with each other. Apple does not care for the iPhone SE and some features just do not work. For example, charging with a genuine cable still bugs out the phone. I contacted Apple Support and they said "officially nothing is wrong" yet they told me "unofficially you should upgrade". I honestly liked my iPhone 5 more than the iPhone SE. The reason for your iPhone SE being awful is because it’s an iPhone 6 inside the model of an iPhone 5. Apple have crammed everything into the SE to make it fast but they’ve made something against that. I completely disagree. The hardware itself isn't the issue. It's just Apple neglects the phone. Hell, it's even throttled by Apple (and it's pretty recent phone too). The real issue is that some applications just don't run on an iPhone SE (even though it has the power). For example, Skype decides to crash whenever switching between portrait and landscape. Another example, on iOS 11.0 iBooks (by Apple) had blank bars. The hardware is solid (iPhone SE and iPhone 6S use the same CPU). The software just isn't as nice as one expects from an iPhone.

The SE has a stronger CPU and is overall faster even though on paper the other is faster in terms of ghz and cores The iPhone SE gets a geek bench single core score of 2491 and a multi core score of 4332 and the Honor 7 has a single core score of 762 and a multi core score of 2531 browser.geekbench.com/android_devices/282browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/7652037The iPjone doesn’t need as much RAM as iOS does a much better job of memory management. The other points are perfectly valid though. I own an iPhone SE (for personal usage, not work) and it is awful. I absolutely love small form factors. However, it's not practical. The iPhone SE and iOS do not play nice with each other. Apple does not care for the iPhone SE and some features just do not work. For example, charging with a genuine cable still bugs out the phone. I contacted Apple Support and they said "officially nothing is wrong" yet they told me "unofficially you should upgrade". I honestly liked my iPhone 5 more than the iPhone SE. Apple is inherently well-known for pushing unnecessary updates onto their older devices, and in many cases, any pushed changes within these updates are overwhelming for less recent iPhone models (along with several other Apple products which I am in possession of). I had a 4S model which couldn't open any native applications without crashing after an [involuntary] update. Had to 'jailbreak' (root) the device to run an instance of iOS 6 - a night and day difference, in terms of speed and stability. If anyone's curious as to how I did that, a Redditor has posted some instructions on the entire process. iOS would be the ideal mobile environment for the layman, due to its impeccable security - along with the fact that it'll always be further optimised than the Android operating system (as Apple's operating systems are designed around a relatively narrow stream of hardware variables); now, if that justifies using it [or not] is entirely up to you.

I personally would not recommend jailbreaking yet. The current jailbreak needs a lot of work.
