The delays due to the coronavirus have not been able to prevent it and it is that after several months rumored that Apple was preparing a second generation of the iPhone SE, we have seen how this has finally become a reality. The Cupertino company now publishes a new terminal with which it converts the old design of the iPhone 8 into a device with more current components
iPhone SE 2020, small but beasty
If you are nostalgic for the classic Apple designs for your smartphones, you are in luck. In the midst of the era of ‘all screen’ mobiles, the company has just announced a second generation iPhone SE that recovers the design of the iPhone 8 with current features. Of course, this is not the best iPhone to date and in fact not the flagship of this year, since we will see that in September.
The iPhone SE 2020 has a 4.7-inch IPS screen and a rear design made of glass and aluminum, in which it carries a single camera with its corresponding flash. The chosen colors are space gray, silver and red , highlighting the latter as Apple’s (PRODUCT) Red, with which the company will donate part of the income to causes related to the fight against HIV, something it always does with this range. of colors.
The rear camera is a 12 Mpx wide-angle lens with an f / 1.8 aperture. It has optical image stabilization that allows recording in 4K or 1080p at 24, 40 and 60 frames per second. In the front camera we see a 7 Mpx lens and an f / 2.2 aperture with which to record videos at 1080p.
The internal memory of this device starts from 64 GB and has other versions in 128 GB and 256 GB. It might also seem far-fetched that it still has so little memory, but we must remember that the focus of this device is for basic users who want a phone at a lower price and that is up to date in terms of performance, but without the need for high benefits.

This phone has the A13 Bionic processor as its brain, the same as the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro, which not only promises much more power than we had in the iPhone 8, but it is also a guarantee that we will see software updates during years, thereby extending its useful life. Apple never gives the battery data in terms of capacities, since in the end the way of managing this on an iPhone is different from that of other devices, but it is expected to be considerably larger than expected due to its size. has removed the tactical engine that allowed the 3D Touch by pressure on the screen.
IPhone SE 2020 price and availability
As rumored in previous weeks, this new iPhone is the cheapest model from the apple company. It starts from a price of 489 euros in its most basic version of 64 GB. In the versions of 128 GB and 256 GB we find prices 539 euros and 659 euros respectively. It should be noted that if you deliver an old iPhone you could get a discount that would place the device at 349 euros .
It will begin to be ready for reservations on Friday , April 17 for all those who wish to buy it before it is officially put on sale. As the situation in the world is due to the coronavirus, those who obtain it will have to request the option of home delivery for security reasons. These shipments will begin arriving on April 24.
Obviously this is not the iPhone of the year , since simply seeing its characteristics we intuit that it is focused on a less demanding public. The true smartphone of the year for those from Cupertino would arrive in the fall, as usual seeing, presenting it at a special event. This time we could see several models again, including the ‘Pro’ range and some versions that would be placed between them and this new iPhone SE.
Goodbye to the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus
With the arrival of this new iPhone SE, the apple firm has removed the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus from its catalog. This fact is not trivial, since in the end we are talking about very similar phones in design although with clear improvements in the 2020 model. This does not mean that these models will not be for sale in other stores and department stores, but In this case, the prices do not depend on Apple and in most cases it would be more advisable to opt for the purchase of the new terminal.
