iPhone SE (2020)
Price: £419 (inc VAT) from fave.co/3dDiG2X
The new iPhone SE is tricky to review not because it incorporates a lot of interesting new technology to test and explain, but because it does the opposite. Literally nothing here is new. One could write a comprehensive and accurate review in a single short sentence: Apple took and iPhone 8, gave it the iPhone 11’s processor, and is charging only £419 for it.
And yet it’s that last part, the affordable price, that makes it so interesting. For many millions of potential of customers, a brand-new iPhone has remained out of reach. For so many others, their years-old iPhone is overdue for an upgrade but the new iPhones give them sticker shock.
This phone offers nothing at all to anyone who has an iPhone released in the past couple years, but for its intended audience of iPhone 6 upgraders and ‘I got this basically free from my carrier’ customers, the new iPhone SE is the most outstanding value since, well, the old iPhone SE.
