Apple unveils its newest budget-friendly iPhone SE to the world on Wednesday.
Just like its previous editions, the iPhone SE 2020 boasts better specs despite being designed as an older model.
The Apple iPhone SE 2020 is powered by an A13 Bionic— the “fastest chip in a smartphone”, according to Apple— making it one of the brand’s fastest phones. Previous edition had the Apple A9 processor.
The A13 Bionic chip also provides better battery life for the phone.
Equipped with a single-camera system, this powerhouse lets you shoot at f/1.8 aperture in a 12-megapixel wide camera. It allows you to take photos in portrait mode and has 6 portrait lighting effects (Natural, Studio, Contour, Stage, Stage Mono, High-Key Mono), in addition to the Smart HDR.
