Overview
On April the 17th, the highly anticipated iPhone SE 2020 dropped on Apple’s website and official pre-orders have already started. The most distinguishing and surprising fact about this phone is its price. It comes with an incredibly low price point of just $399. The purpose behind this article is to show you the good and the bad of the brand new iPhone SE 2020. Part of the reason also includes helping those of you make an informed decision about whether to buy this product.
iPhone SE 2020 – Positives
Price & Support
Starting off with the positives. The most motivating factor for buying the iPhone SE 2020 is its exceptional battery life. Yes, we know most of you are bummed out because of its outdated design and its similarity to the iPhone 8. However, the good news is that its software will be optimized. This means you will be having possibly more screen-on time than the other high-end Apple devices.
So, those of you who are using the iPhone 7, 6S, or even 5S and considering an upgrade then now is possibly the best time to do so. Another big plus is that the iPhone SE 2020 will be supported by Apple for a long time. It will be having all the latest new features; dark mode on iOS 13, widgets on iOS 14, and who knows what iOS 15 will bring and so on and so forth.
Camera, Touch ID & Design
This device’s camera is something special. It recalls a 4K! What else would you expect from a low-end budget iPhone; cheaper than the iPhone 11 and iPhone 10. Simply wow.
Of course not to forget, Apple has also included the long-forgotten Touch ID in the new iPhone SE 2020. This also indicates that Apple might just be looking to resurrect Touch ID for future devices.
Though it has its own merits, the design that Apple has decided to go with for the iPhone SE 2020 does not seem to be a very popular choice among its users. Apple has simply recycled the iPhone 8 design. It would be unfair to say that it was unexpected but totally fair to say that it was uncalled for. For the SE series, this is definitely a redesign, and it would have been uber-popular if this phone was released back in 2016. However, in the year 2020, releasing a new phone with that design is definitely not going to win hearts. Apple would be changing something up maybe at least a redesign at the back or maybe a redesign at the front and the only difference that you can see right now is the Apple logo which is in the middle.
Another noticeable thing about the new iPhone SE is that it has a really small screen and compared to Apple’s flagship phones, it looks pretty outdated. We don’t really think that Apple can excuse the repositioning of the Apple logo to satisfy its users.
Final Word
Our final verdict on the iPhone SE is that apart from its outdated design, it is still a pretty great device and one that somewhat justifies its price tag as well. Considering that this is something that we don’t really expect from Apple, we would definitely recommend current iPhone users who have the older versions and are looking for an upgrade, this phone is for you!
That will be all from us here a WhatDigi! We hope you are safe and sound where ever you are. Stay tuned for further updates.
