When measured as a standard rectangular shape, the screen is 6.06 inches (iPhone 14, iPhone 13), 6.12 inches (iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro), 6.68 inches (iPhone 14 Plus) or 6.69 inches (iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone15ProMax) diagonally. Actual viewable area is less. The iPhone 8’s design was tired in 2018 and it is no different today. The 2020 iPhone SE’s 4.7in screen is tiny by today’s standards but the phone’s body isn’t, because it eschews the modern all-screen design in favour of the old large bezels and chunky chin and forehead. FaceTime calling requires a FaceTime‑enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi‑Fi connection. Availability over a mobile network depends on network provider policies; data charges may apply.

Following the pattern made by the first-generation iPhone SE (which shares the dimensions and form factor of the iPhone 5S, with the internal hardware of the iPhone 6S), the second-generation model shares the dimensions and form factor of the iPhone 8, while sharing selected internal hardware components from the iPhone 11 lineup, including the A13 Bionic system-on-chip (as opposed to the A11 Bionic system-on-chip found in the iPhone 8 series), which allows the phone to utilise the single Wide angle lens Portrait Mode, as on the iPhone XR. It also features the next generation Smart HDR-2 photos, which are marketed as being better than Smart HDR photos on the iPhone XS and iPhone XR.

iPhone SE is splash, water and dust resistant and was tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of IP67 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 1 metre up to 30 minutes). Splash, water and dust resistance are not permanent conditions. Resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear. Do not attempt to charge a wet iPhone; refer to the user guide for cleaning and drying instructions. Liquid damage not covered under warranty. The built-in speakers sound decent by smartphone standards and there’s enough detail for the odd music video or an episode of your favourite TV series. The iPhone 11 sounds more solid and composed though. With a screen diagonal of 4.7in (120mm), the second generation of the iPhone SE was among the smallest mainstream in-production smartphones at the time of its release. [21] However, it is still thirty percent larger than the first generation variant, whose screen diagonal measures 4in (100mm). Then again you could buy a wireless charger instead, as the iPhone SE 2020 is Qi-charging enabled. Grab a cheap wireless pad or two, for home and when (eventually) at work, and you’ll never have an issue with power levels again. The iPhone SE has the same A13 Bionic processor as the iPhone 11 and performs similarly in day-to-day usage, which is a very good thing. It means that the iPhone SE should be a top-performer for years to come.To send and receive money with Apple Pay, you must be at least 18 years old and a resident of the United States.

One in particular saw us having to massively drop the exposure of a nature scene taken under forest cover. Despite the darker conditions, the image was far too bright – it seemed the new iPhone SE camera was trying too hard to compensate. We often found that the images on the viewfinder were much brighter than in real life, which usually meant we had to tweak the exposure. Peterson, Mike (April 15, 2020).

I tested the iPhone SE on AT&T and Verizon, side by side with an iPhone 11, and found that the two phones have the same LTE performance. Apple defines its restrictions on harmful substances, including definitions for what Apple considers to be “free of”, in the Apple Regulated Substances Specification. Every Apple product is free of PVC and phthalates with the exception of AC power leads in India, Thailand (for two-pin AC power leads) and the Republic of Korea, where we continue to seek government approval for our PVC and phthalates replacement.

In that time the flagship iPhone range has moved to an all-screen design – barring a notch at the top, you’re presented with barely any bezels – while with more premium aluminum inside, things have got a little weightier in recent years. a b Sareena Dayaram (May 6, 2020).

For Wi-Fi it supports Wi-Fi 6, which also comes in the iPhone 11 series. Wi-Fi 6 doesn't make a difference for most people right now, because relatively few people have Wi-Fi 6 routers, but it will improve Wi-Fi performance in crowded situations like public hotspots in future years. I didn't find any real difference in Wi-Fi performance between the SE and the iPhone 11, and that's a good thing. It feels like the iPhone world has moved on in three years though – now the 4.7-inch screen with the chunky bezels above and below feels like it belongs to the past.
