New iPhone SE 2020: Release date, price, specs and cameras

The new iPhone SE 2020 is here, and it has all the ingredients to become one of the best phones for the money — especially if you prefer a smaller phone. Yes, it’s not called the iPhone 9 or iPhone SE 2. The new low-cost iPhone is simply named iPhone SE.

Starting at $399, the new iPhone SE replaces the iPhone 8 and packs a fast A13 Bionic chip, a 4.7-inch Retina display, a Touch ID sensor and wireless charging. And while there’s only one camera on the front and back, they get a boost from Apple’s machine learning tricks to capture portraits.

The iPhone SE 2020 involves some trade-offs, which you’d expect for this price. There’s no Face ID, no fast charging in the box and there’s no night mode for the camera. But overall the new iPhone SE looks like a winner and one of the best cheap phones yet. Here’s everything you need to know.
