Apple has just released their new 2020 iPhone SE, and I’m fully convinced that it will
be the best-selling phone in the world.
But before I get into explaining the 3 different reasons why, it’s very important to first
know all of the specs and features that it's packing, so let’s quickly go through them.
The design is basically identical to the iPhone 8, so that means you’re getting wireless
charging, Touch ID and a single camera. The only difference is that the Apple logo moved
to the center of the back.
It comes in either white, black of Product RED and it’s priced at a massively low $399
for 64GB of storage, which is $300 cheaper than the iPhone 11, and you can pay just $50
more for double the storage.
It gets a 4.7” Retina display with 326PPI, so it’ll look just as sharp as the iPhone
11.
But the biggest news is that it packs the same A13 processor as the iPhone 11 Pro, but
with 3GB of RAM, so you’re getting literally the fastest smartphone chip ever made in a
$400 phone. That’s just insane!
Even better, you’re getting basically the same incredibly good 12MP camera as well,
with the same generation Smart HDR for photos.
And the crazy part is that you can use portrait mode on both the front and the back, with
all of the same features like portrait lighting and even depth control for background blur.
It even shoots 4K 60 FPS video, just like on the 11 Pro, except for one difference,
you only get extended dynamic range at up to 30fps instead of 60 like on the 11 Pro.
This means that it’s not getting the same new sony sensor.
The sensor is probably from the iPhone XS Max, but thanks to having the latest software
and A13 chip, camera performance should be just like on the iPhone 11.
The most impressive part is that Apple is going all out with the other specs as well,
including WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5 with audio sharing, Gigabyte LTE, with 2x2 MIMO, Dual SIM for
having two numbers on the same phone, iP67 water resistance and fast-charging support
if you use the 18W charger.
So with all of those specs out of the way, let’s get into the 4 reasons why the 2020
iPhone SE will be the best-selling smartphone in the world.
First of all, both the iPhone XR and the iPhone 11 were the two best-selling smartphones in
the entire world in 2019.
Why? Because they were the cheapest iPhones you could get, while also packing top-of-the-line
processors and cameras.
And now, with the new iPhone SE, it’s only $400, while also getting the best processor
in any smartphone and an excellent camera as well. For this reason alone, there will
be a lot more people choosing to buy this $400 iPhone instead of going with an Android
phone.
Now if you’re in the States, this deal sounds pretty nice, but what about the rest of the
world?
Well, because of the lower starting price, the new iPhone SE will be even cheaper in
other countries that are hit with tariffs, for example, in India, the new iPhone SE starts
at 42,500 rupees, which is $555 US dollars, $155 more than it is here in the States.
But on the flip side, the iPhone 11 Pro, which is $1000 here in the states, actually costs
$1,304 in India, that’s $304 more than in the States, so they’re paying $140 more
in taxes compared to buying the iPhone SE.
So the point is that in many other countries, especially those like India and China which
have a massive population all wanting to buy a great smartphone, the new iPhone SE is going
to be much more attainable.
Now perhaps the most significant reason is the Coronavirus.
With the world economy taking a hit, there are a lot of people who are out of a job,
and those who are still working are definitely going to be very careful with how they spend
their cash.
So there will be a lot of people choosing to buy budget smartphones like the $400 iPhone
SE instead of expensive ones like the iPhone 11 Pro, OnePlus 8 Pro and the Galaxy S20 Ultra.
And the final reason is that there are a ton of people still using older iPhones like the
original SE and every iPhone from the 6 up to the iPhone 8.
So the question is.. Who should upgrade to the new SE?
Well, Apple created an upgrade page which allows you to see how your phone compares
to the iPhone SE, and they’ve included every iPhone from the original SE to the 8 Plus.
I’d leave a link to that page down in the description .
I’d say that even someone with an iPhone 8 should upgrade to the new SE just for the
fact that you get the amazing camera and the best smartphone processor in the world.
Apple is even giving up to $170 trade-in value for the iPhone 8, so it becomes a $230 upgrade.
And it’s also a perfect upgrade for those who don’t like Face ID. The massive benefit
is that it will continue to get new iOS updates for years and years after today.
Now if you’re someone with a Plus sized iPhone, like the iPhone 8 Plus, we’re actually
expecting Apple to make an iPhone SE Plus next year with a 5.5” display, so you should
hold off for that if you like larger displays.
