Why the iPhone SE (2020)
Mid-RangeThe Apple iPhone SE (2020) offers exceptionally strong performance for its class driven by the A13 Bionic chipset and solid build quality with IP67 water resistance. Its camera and display are competent for basic use but constrained by aging single-lens hardware and small dimensions, while battery life is limited by a modest 1821 mAh cell. At its listed price, it provides strong overall value for a compact iOS device.
