Low Price/High Value
iPhone SE (2020)
Apple's lowest-price iPhone stocked with the latest internals.
Bottom line: If you've been waiting three years for Apple to update the Home button iPhone, your wait is over.
Our very own Lory Gil recently dropped our review of the iPhone SE (2020), and this is what she had to say:
You may think that most people are raving about the new iPhone SE just because it's so inexpensive. Though price helps, I really think the iPhone SE is worthy of its name. If, like me, you don't want to compromize on size in order to continue getting Apple's latest technology, give the iPhone SE (2020) your consideration. It's a lot more phone than you may realize at a lot smaller size and a lot smaller price.
The iPhone SE doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Apple's flagship iPhone 11 lineup, but the tradeoff is a $399 price tag which makes it just about the best value for a smartphone well, anywhere...
