Apple released the new iPhone SE 2020 is an outstanding compact phone with fast performance and good cameras. That’s why I’m glad Apple released 4.7 inches, the smallest and cheapest iPhone currently attracting low budget phone buyers.
iPhone SE featured the powerful A13 bionic chip which iPhone 11 Pro do have.The design of the phone is going to be familiar to slim 4.7-inch iPhone 8, with bezels top and bottom and a home button with fingerprint scanner built in. The 4.7-inch LCD display with true tone to help color-match your surroundings.
The new iPhone SE holds a lot of premium features like metal glass design, dual SIM with eSIM and wireless charging to water resistance usually you won’t find on Android phones in its price range. This new phone offers lightning port for headphones but Android phones still offering a headphone jack.
Surprisingly Apple includes expensive Lightning EarPods in the box but not an adapter. iPhone SE supports fast-charging but Apple’s standard dinky 5W charger doesn’t support this you need to connect to an 18W fast‑charge adapter to go from zero to up to 50% in 30 minutes.
