The iPhone SE (2020) took the compact, familiar Home button design of the iPhone 8 and dropped in the same A13 Bionic chip found in the iPhone 11 range, at a fraction of the price. That combination made it a genuinely fast phone for a budget handset, and it still handles everyday tasks like browsing, messaging, and social apps without trouble. The single 12MP rear camera is the biggest compromise versus pricier iPhones of its era, relying on software processing rather than extra lenses for Portrait mode, though it does a solid job in good light. Touch ID rather than Face ID also means it's quicker to unlock while wearing a mask or gloves, which some buyers prefer. Battery life is modest by 2026 standards, with a small 1,821mAh cell that struggles to last a full day of heavy use, and its 4.7-inch screen and thick bezels look increasingly dated next to newer designs. It's now a phone for buyers on a tight budget who want a small, simple, physical-button iPhone and can live with an ageing camera and battery, rather than anyone chasing the newest features.
