iPhone SE (2020) Review: everything you need



Apple’s new iPhone SE has a 4.7-inch screen and it has the most powerful phone processor, the A13 Bionic. The camera is good in bright light but needs some work in low light. Overall at $399, this phone is one of the best values around. Plus, it should get iOS software updates for many years.

  1. I actually love the home button more than Face ID. I got the se a few days ago and it’s amazing. I always listened to all the “bezels are too thick” “old design” stuff and felt like I should save up to get the 11, but honestly the bezels really don’t matter if you are an average person, and for me most people seem to want the 11 (at least in highschool) to seem cool. The 11 is nice but I like the classic design and the black front bezels make me forget they’re even there.

  2. Ya, you have been watching tons of reviews like this one on YouTube, telling you how this "fairly priced" SE is features packed to rival those $1000 flagships —- but all end up with the statement “it's great but not for me. I won't use it as my daily device."
    So you can basically skip all these reviews but the very last statement.

  3. Does anyone’s “vibrate” when playing sound loudly through the speaker? When I cover up the top speaker, the vibration goes away. Trying to determine if that is normal or not?

  4. I still have an iPhone 6s my screen recently broke and I think it’s time for a new iPhone thinking of getting this one but don’t know much about it is it worth buying ?

  5. I just got the iPhone se today and I’m incredibly happy with it.. it’s fast, it’s light, and it’s just a beautiful phone. Everything about this phone is awesome, and I think it’s the best $400 dollars I ever spent.

  6. You pointed out all the positives but why did you not take so many negatives into consideration. Like a dated 720p lcd display is fine for you ? Or the battedy backup is 1 day ? Please be unbiased

  7. I recently purchased my iphone SE after retiring my first Gen SE which served me well over 5 years and i gotta say its everything I need from an Iphone! Basic but functional with great video quality!

  8. Outstanding review – I'm sold because of this review! You pointed out the key reasons that I were already convinced about from my own research. They are: 1) Outstanding package and great phone! 2) Upgrade-ability for years to come and, the most important – 3) It's powered by the same A13 bionic chip that powers the iPhone Pro. Goodbye Android, at least for now!

  9. I wanted an affordable yet new kind of model with an updated ios like ios 13. So I chose iPhone 7 plus for my future phone then I saw this phone ! It's only a couple of bucks plus !!! I'm not sure which phone I should get.

  10. 유료 서비스로 새로운 차별화된 서비스를 제공하겠다는 IT업체들 이제 무슨 물리적 변화들이 발생할까요? 🍔🍟👌

  11. iPhone 8- Launch Price $699
    A11 Chipset
    2 GB Ram

    iPhone SE 2020- Launch Price $399
    A13 Chipset
    3 GB Ram
    HDR, OIS Camera
    Improved WiFi

    Price is dropped by half. Reallyy ???
    Apple a simply over priced product!

  12. It ticks all the required corners.
    Good camera – check
    Good processor – check
    Good form factor – check
    Battery – average
    Waterproof – check
    Software updates next 5 years – check

    But hold on here is a thing :
    Do you think smartphone technology is going to remain the same for next 5 years . If you think you are future proof and can carry arround this mobile for next 5 years believe me you are going to miss out a lot .
    I mean you will definitely miss 5 g revolution.
    And there are many more things to come . 3 years is enough to revolutionize the smartphone industry , who knows we may move to wearables? So although a nice practical device , but it's an old phone ! With 720 p and low brightness device .
    I believe we are going to see more less expensive smartphones from Apple !

  13. Its pretty obvious that this guys has been drugged with APPLE. Even though this phone is a disgust for a 2020 smartphone he still likes it because its APPLE. If this was android he will be saying and cursing
