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?

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.
Base 15.
There nothing wrong with Android. Definitely tell us which model she has. The SE, as good as it is, does have drawbacks., notably the bezels, and battery life.
If she’s using androids she most probably likes the big screens. I’d recommend at least get the 13 (like everybody else said).
The SE caters to a niche market of people who absolutely have to have an iPhone and either don’t want to spend more or need the Touch ID. No happy android user is going to like an SE (at least the current one) because of its small IPS display and abysmal battery life. (Leaving aside the camera which is decent but nothing to be happy about). No matter how good the processor is, the phone feels extremely dated and looks like it’s already 7 years old out of the box.
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.
This is how I got my now wife to convert to apple.
Food for thought as someone that’s new to iPhone. USB C was a huge selling point for me since every charging adapter and cable(car and wall) I’ve had for the last 8-10 years is usb c. Not sure what her charging habits are if she’s a ‘plug in at night’ person anything will work if, like me, she is a ‘20%-80% charge any time’ person she might need multiple bricks, cables, or even a battery pack. I would have had to spend another ~$100 just on chargers if the 15 didn’t have usb c.
iPhone 13 is the best option
Iphone 13 user here. It is the best one apple has made in years. Definitely get her that
Get the 15reg cuz it has usb c already
Go phone shopping with her. If she has always used Android and gives no indication of changing other than using your phone for the camera and FaceTime then maybe she wants to stick with Android. Maybe get her a cheap iPad?
Why can’t she keep her android and use the iphone in addition, instead of an ipad?
Lmao, buying an iPhone SE for making pictures and videos… that’s such a bad idea.
At the very least the iPhone 15.
Samsung A12. 48 MP camera, 720p screen,…
Did Samsung put all their money in their camera lol?

It’s a very low-tier phone. I’m not even sure what you’re trying to imply. I’d be more concerned about the iPhone 15 that still has a 60Hz screen, especially since the next generation - the A13, has a 90Hz screen at 1080p.
Nobody in their right mind should get an SE right now. Get iPhone 15 minimum. Same charging cables make the transition so much easier.
iPhone 13 at minimum. An SE would be an insult.
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
If you say she uses your phone a lot for pictures/videos/facetime, don’t get the SE. The camera and screen are just not worth it.
I’m not super familiar with the A12 but it looks like it uses USB-C and I’m assuming she has a number of those cables lying around. In that case, I would recommend the 15 at minimum.
If that’s too much, you may want to specify a firm budget for recommendations.
I’m gonna echo what most people here are saying, an iPhone SE has a potato for a camera and if pictures are one of the main draws to your phone, don’t bother with it. I wouldn’t go any lower than a 12, but I think your best bang for the buck is going to be an iPhone 13, Depending on what size screen she’s accustomed to you can get it in small, medium and large.
