Apple announced the all new iPhone SE (or iPhone 9 – call it what you will!) to target those after a mid-range phone. The original was discontinued back in 2018, but now it\u2019s back with the same processing power as the iPhone 11 Pro (without the rear cameras).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Much of its specs are similar to the iPhone 8. However Apple have branded the iPhone SE as the fastest, most powerful single-camera phone (and the most affordable phone in its range). Let\u2019s take a look at what the new iPhone SE will bring to the table.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The iPhone SE is priced at \u00a3419 – which for a new iPhone is a pretty decent price. As with every new phone release, older generations are now going to depreciate in value<\/a>. If you\u2019re considering the iPhone SE, it\u2019s worth trading in your old phone<\/a> and putting the cash towards it!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It\u2019s got a 4.7 inch screen with Retina HD display. Apple have also stated it has a True Tone feature that adjusts to ambient light for easier screen viewing. It comes in three colours: black, white and red. The phone is weather and dust sealed too – with a water resistance of IP67 (depth of 1 meter of water for 30 minutes).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The iPhone SE also retains its home button, but this time with sapphire crystal for increased durability. It also contains a steel ring to enable Touch ID – a fantastic feature that helps protect the security and privacy of your phone and data.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Don\u2019t expect anything too special in terms of camera quality of the iPhone SE. It has a 12MP rear camera at f1.8 wide aperture (which is great for taking high quality photos with nice background blur) and a 7MP selfie camera (way better than it\u2019s old 1.2MP selfie camera counterpart). With newer models of phones sporting selfie cameras of 12MP+, it\u2019s not the most amazing lens, but it\u2019s a massive step up from the 1st generation model.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Its rear camera comes with six portrait lighting effects (available on newer models of iPhones), so despite not having extra lenses, it\u2019s still a fantastic step up for the price.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It\u2019s matched up to the iPhone 8 at 1821mAh – that\u2019s worth 8 hours of video playback time, 8 hours of streamed video playback and 40 hours worth of audio playback. Most importantly –\u00a0 that\u2019s a lot of battery power for a small phone!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n It\u2019s obviously more powerful than the older iPhone SE. at 3GB of RAM, you can definitely juggle more background apps and use the phone for streaming sites without worrying too much about lag. It\u2019s got a chip upgrade to the all-powerful A13 chip (previously A11), so you know you\u2019re getting a lot of horsepower for such a tiny phone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n You can pre-order the iPhone SE on the Apple website now! It\u2019s officially able to ship on the 24th April 2020.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Does the iPhone SE sound good to you? Still need a bit of extra cash for it? Why not sell your old phone<\/a> or sell your old tech<\/a> and put the cash towards your upgrade? Sell with musicMagpie today for the best price!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The pocket-friendly size of the iPhone SE is a great choice for those after a smaller device. Much of its specs are similar to the iPhone 6s and iPhone 8 – which still continues to be a massive hit for iPhone fans.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The iPhone X has a fantastic, sleek design with a glass back and a screen that goes to the edges of the phone. It also doesn\u2019t have a home button, meaning the screen is able to display more of what you need.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The Face Recognition of iPhone X phones is an extremely popular feature. Whilst its chip may be older (A11), it does have a dual camera, which as we all know, is an incredibly important feature for many when it comes to taking the best photos.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Whilst the SE has clearly upped its game, it\u2019s still not as good as the iPhone X in terms of functionality.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n If you don’t want to pay full price for the SE, buy an iPhone X <\/a>for less and check out our refurbished Phones<\/a> at the musicMagpie Store!<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Apple announced the all new iPhone SE (or iPhone 9 – call it what you will!) to target those after a mid-range phone.
