The iPhone SE 2’s camera setup is going to lean on Apple’s software

2020-04-15T11:33:36-04:00

Apple's newly announced second-generation iPhone SE (or iPhone SE 2 as we'll be calling it) is the company's first phone with a single rear camera since 2018's iPhone XR.

After months of rumors, Apple has finally announced a new iPhone SE. The new phone looks a lot like the iPhone 8, as it has a 4.7-inch LCD screen, Touch ID, a glass back, and thick top and bottom bezels.

And the second-generation iPhone SE's $399 starting price makes it a lot cheaper than the iPhone 11.

With the introduction of the new iPhone SE, Apple now offers iPhones with the A13 Bionic chip at four different starting price points, ranging from …

Apple announces the new $399 iPhone SE for 2020

2020-04-15T11:00:00-04:00

Apple has officially announced the new iPhone SE, a lower-cost iPhone that starts at $399 for a version with 64GB of storage. It has the same basic shape and look as the iPhone 8, which means it has a 4.7-inch screen, large bezels on the top and bottom, and a home button with Touch ID. It's a design that has stayed consistent since the iPhone 6, which makes the iPhone SE essentially the fifth generation of that same look. Apple knows this design well.

It is available for preorder this Friday, April 17th, and it will ship on April 24th. There will be a 128GB model offered for $449 and a 256GB model for $549. Like other iPhones, it will come …
