Apple iPhone SE review: Great things can come in small packages

There are two ways of looking at the iPhone SE, the "special edition" smaller-scale 4-inch iPhone. One is that it's Apple simply churning out a 2-year-old design with a spec update; the other is that it delivers what many people actually want: a small but powerful phone for those who believe the...
Pros:
  • Small size will suit a certain audience
  • majority 6S feature set means plenty of power
  • accessible price point
Cons:
  • Not a new design
  • small size won't be for all - can feel crammed on screen
  • no 3D Touch
  • 1.2MP front camera
  • no MIMO Wi-Fi

Apple iPhone SE review

An iPhone with no number in its model name? That'll be the new iPhone SE , which ditches the number 5 but retains everything that iPhone 5 and 5S owners loved about their 4in phones - and upgrades all the bits which are out of date.

Apple iPhone SE 64GB Black MX9R2X/A review

Apple iPhone SE 2020 is the latest smartphone from Apple . The device stands in-between the iPhone 11 of 2019 and the iPhone 8 of 2017 . First, it comes in the body of iPhone 8, but has the powerful CPU used in the iPhone 11 . So the screen is a 4.7-inch display with 750 x 1334 pixels resolution.

Apple iPhone SE 64GB Black MX9R2X/A review

Back in the spring of 2016 — March 31, to be specific — the original iPhone SE launched. It was a callback to the four-inch iPhone many of us loved but couldn't upgrade to for more than two years.

Apple iPhone SE 64GB Black MX9R2X/A review

This clearly isn’t Apple’s absolute best iPhone, but it’s the best choice for many millions of users. It is Apple's least interesting iPhone in years, and simultaneously, perhaps, the most important.
Pros:
  • Starts at just $399
  • The A13 is faster than any other mobile processor
  • Great photos and video in good light
Cons:
  • No telephoto or ultrawide camera
  • Battery life is just okay
  • No Night Mode or Deep Fusion

Apple iPhone SE 64GB Black MX9R2X/A review

Anyone who calls the iPhone SE a spare parts store is not wrong. Dressed in the iPhone 8 garb, looking through the glasses of the iPhone XR and doing its work with the heart of the iPhone 11, Apple has rummaged deep in its toolbox and created a powerful iPhone mix that combines not the best, but the...
Pros:
  • Powerful processor
  • Home Button
  • Bokeh effects for both cameras
  • Low price
Cons:
  • Aged LCD display
  • Average Portrait Mode
  • Poor audio
  • No expandable storage

Apple iPhone SE 64GB Black MX9R2X/A review

This is a fantastic upgrade for those with an iPhone 8 or older, and you will notice big changes, and a lot of familiarities, in the switch. It’s also just a downright excellent buy if you want a phone that’ll perform fast and take excellent pictures for years to come.
Pros:
  • At $399/£419 this is an excellent buy
  • Flagship performance should keep this speedy for years
  • Great photos in daylight situations
  • Impressive video capabilities
  • Offers a strong proposition for those who don’t want big phones
Cons:
  • Battery life is far from excellent
  • A new design would’ve been welcome

  • Cadre léger
  • Prix abordable
