Apple introduced a new smartphone in the middle of the corona crisis. The new entry-level model iPhone SE looks exactly like the iPhone 8 with its aluminum housing and the home button as a fingerprint reader. However, the US company has technically renewed the device and installed the modern processor A13 Bionic of the current iPhone 11. The optics and electronics of the camera have also been improved.
The new iPhone SE was originally expected in early April. However, market observers were uncertain months ago how much the restrictions on corona virus containment will hinder cooperation between Apple developers in California and the production experts of the Chinese partner companies. Some analysts doubted that Chinese producers like Foxconn would be able to produce new iPhone models in sufficient numbers under the given circumstances. From corporate circles it is now said that enough devices could be manufactured to be able to withstand a large rush.
With the new iPhone SE, Apple is price aggressive for its standards. The entry-level model is available from 449 euros (64 GB memory). The variant with 128 GB costs 519 euros, the largest with 256 GB costs 639 euros.
In contrast to the latest top models, Apple does not rely on unlocking the device with face recognition (FaceID), but on a fingerprint sensor (TouchID) for the newly launched iPhone SE.
