   I got an iPhone SE from my employer and can't reproduce this.   
      
   Even without internet and without connection to Apple it still works. I   
   can take pictures with it, listen to music which is stored on the device   
   and even call people if I only have GSM without internet.   
      
   So what exactly do you mean?
