For a phone that is so affordable this really does deliver - and should give you a phone that will last you for the next 3-4 years without the need to upgrade.

Affordable price but flagship specification; Small size has its charms; Decent camera performance; Water-resistant design

2017 design shows with large top/bottom bezel; Limited battery - and no fast-charger in the box; No Face ID - it's Touch ID only; No Night Mode

The 2020 Apple iPhone SE is a petite powerhouse with no-compromise performance for hundreds of dollars less than other recent iPhones.

Affordable; Fast performance; Small; one-hand-friendly form factor

No camera night mode

Anyone who calls the iPhone SE a spare parts store is not wrong. Dressed in the iPhone 8 garb, looking through the glasses of the iPhone XR and doing its work with the heart of the iPhone 11, Apple has rummaged deep in its toolbox and created a powerful iPhone mix that combines not the best, but the...

Powerful processor; Home Button; Bokeh effects for both cameras; Low price

Aged LCD display; Average Portrait Mode; Poor audio; No expandable storage

Building a $400 phone is an exercise in compromise, and the iPhone SE certainly has its share. Despite that, Apple's smallest, cheapest smartphone offers tremendous performance for the price.

Incredible value; Flagship-level performance; Surprisingly good camera; A13 chipset gives iOS room to grow

Dated design; Battery life is only OK; Camera doesn't have a Night mode

This clearly isn’t Apple’s absolute best iPhone, but it’s the best choice for many millions of users. It is Apple's least interesting iPhone in years, and simultaneously, perhaps, the most important.

Starts at just $399; The A13 is faster than any other mobile processor; Great photos and video in good light

No telephoto or ultrawide camera; Battery life is just okay; No Night Mode or Deep Fusion

Back in the spring of 2016 — March 31, to be specific — the original iPhone SE launched. It was a callback to the four-inch iPhone many of us loved but couldn't upgrade to for more than two years.

Apple iPhone SE 2020 is the latest smartphone from Apple . The device stands in-between the iPhone 11 of 2019 and the iPhone 8 of 2017 . First, it comes in the body of iPhone 8, but has the powerful CPU used in the iPhone 11 . So the screen is a 4.7-inch display with 750 x 1334 pixels resolution.

Unmatched performance; Impressive image quality; industry-leading 4K video capture; Great price; Compact form factor; easy to use with one hand; iOS and the ecosystem (AirPods; Apple Watch; etc); Support for wireless charging

Mediocre battery life; Dated look on the front with big bezels; Only one small size that won’t fit everyone (no Plus model); Slow 5W charger in the box; No Night Mode; no telephoto camera; no ultra-wide camera

A couple of years ago the Apple iPhone X restored my joy in smartphones and a lot of that had to do with the small size and extremely responsive performance of the phone. I went through the iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR before choosing to stick with the iPhone XS and then moved onto the iPhone 11 Pro.

High end processor; Low price; Small size for the masses; Solid battery life; Wireless charging; Capable rear and front cameras; Touch ID front sensor; $50 charge for reasonable internal storage

Large top bezel

Apple’s budget iPhone delivers a satisfying and slick smartphone experience at an attractive price

Excellent build quality; Colourful; detailed screen; Musical sound

Camera not great in low light; Battery life could be better
