The iPhone SE 2020 proves that good doesn't have to be expensive. This device features the classic design millions love (with a home button!), but with the brains of the iPhone 11. Compact, fast enough for all your daily apps, and extremely budget-friendly.
Budget-friendly powerhouse
Not everyone wants a phone the size of a brick. The iPhone SE 2020 fits in any pocket and can be operated with one hand. It runs on the A13 Bionic chip, meaning it still responds smoothly in apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Banking.
- Touch ID: No hassle with facial recognition, just your finger.
- Size: 4.7-inch. One of the last truly small phones.
- Familiar: Works exactly as you're used to from your old iPhone 6/7/8.
- Cases: Fits the same cases as the iPhone 7 and 8.
- Speed: The A13 chip is still perfectly fine for daily use.
- Camera: Takes sharp photos and supports portrait mode.
- Updates: Still runs on recent iOS versions.
- Charging: Even supports wireless charging!
- Price: The 2020 is significantly cheaper.
- Internet: The 2020 has 4G, the 2022 has 5G.
- Speed: The 2022 is faster, but for calling/texting, you'll notice little difference.
- Conclusion: Choose 2020 for the lowest price, 2022 for future-proofing.
