iPhone se 2020

The 2020 iPhone SE is lighweight, cheap and future-proofed. Could this device be your next business mobile.

TechRadar.com's verdict:

"This is the phone to get if you just want a new iPhone, and one that will last you a few years, but don't want to pay a lot for it. If you're after 'decent but not top-end' performance, then that's what the iPhone SE 2020 will offer you: there's a good camera, enough power, a great App Store to plunder and a lighter-weight design than the current crop of iPhone 11 models. Battery life could be better, the screen tech is starting to age, and some upgraders will miss the headphone jack; but overall, the smart improvements make this - for the price - one of the best iPhones Apple has ever made."

Apple say:

"The iPhone SE packs our most powerful chip into our most popular size at our most affordable price. It's just what you've been waiting for."

Features:

True Tone:Dynamically adjusts white balance on the display so images look natural and are easier on your eyes.

Haptic Touch:Press and hold an icon for shortcuts and a sight vibration makes it feel like you're pressing a real, physical button.

Augmented reality:Run the latest AR apps that let you measure real-world objects, map constellations over the stars and more.

Stereo audio recording:iPhone SE records videos in stereo to make the sound as engaging as the picture.

Faster Wi-Fi and mobile data:Wi-Fi 6 and 4G LTE Advanced can deliver much faster download speeds, whether you're on Wi-Fi or mobile networks.

Audio sharing: You and a friend can both rock out to the same playlist by pairing two sets of AirPods or Beats headphones to one iPhone.

Dual SIM, dual numbers: Dual SIM with eSIM lets you have both a business number and a personal number on the same iPhone.
