A day after OnePlus globally launched its 2020 flagships OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro, Apple has announced its much-awaited iPhone SE 2020. Yes, that is what it is called. No iPhone 9 or SE 2, just iPhone SE 2020.

The iPhone SE 2020 is basically an iPhone 11 in an iPhone 8 body. The same is likely to be sold at around Rs 42,000 in India. Well, to be honest, I would prefer spending a bit more to buy iPhone X rather than spending 42,000 on a 4.7-inch screen. PS – my hands are big and I like bigger screens.

The rumors are finally confirmed:

iPhone SE 2020 (2ND GEN)
4.7" Retina HD display
A13 Bionic
Single 12MP camera
Portrait mode (of people only)
TouchID + haptic touch
IP67
Qi Wireless charging
Red, black and white colors ?⚫️⚪️

Starts at $399 ?

However, the good part is that the iPhone SE comes with many features that are currently available on iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro. These include the same A13 Bionic processor, support for Qi wireless charging, True Tone display and IP67 dust and splash resistance.

Deeply disappointed by the Apple strategy,
iPhone SE 2020 costs almost as much as iPhone Xr
At this price point, Xr is probably a better buy due to it's design. Not fair Apple.

The iPhone SE 2020 (2nd Gen) comes in:
Black, White and Product Red

The iPhone 8 came in:
Space Grey, Silver and Gold

Also logo placement is in the middle. Design wise, those are the only differences I can see. pic.twitter.com/OLBuMkjIN4

With #Apple killing both 8 & 8+ after introducing just the SE 2020, there will be a gap between the SE and the XR. Wish there was a SE+.

But then a 8+ with the internals of 11 is better than XR but in a classic format, so could be options at same price?https://t.co/RLbrdAR9yS

The phone supports Touch id while face id and headphone jack are missing. People in the US can start pre-ordering SE 2020 from April 17, 2020, while there is no such date for India for now.
