iphone-se-homepage-2

Apple’s new iPhone SE comes in three colors. 


Apple

Apple just announced the second-generation iPhone SE with a starting price of $399 (£419, AU$749). The new iPhone SE has a 4.7-inch display — tiny by modern standards — and brings back Apple’s beloved home button with Touch ID. Don’t be tricked by its low price, the new iPhone SE is expected to be just as capable and nearly as powerful as the more expensive iPhone 11 ($699 at Apple), with a few exceptions. 

The iPhone SE uses Apple’s A13 processor, has a 12-megapixel camera and wireless charging. It’s available with 64GB, 128GB or 256GB of storage and comes in black, white or red. 

Preorders for the most affordable iPhone in Apple’s lineup open up worldwide on Friday, April 17. Deliveries will begin one week later, on Friday, April 24. Here’s what you need to know to get one in your hands as soon as possible.
