There is not much new to say about the iPhone SE (2nd generation). The latest iPhone, which will also go on sale in Germany from Friday, combines the housing of the iPhone 8 with Apple’s A13 chip on the iPhone 11 and the camera on the iPhone XR.
The iPhone SE thus reissues a hardware design that has been with us since the iPhone 6 and thus accompanied since 2014.
The device reviews published after the end of today’s blackout period, which several American media representatives have put online in the past few hours, are accordingly “exciting”.
Almost all of them hang on the most important features of the business customer device, the low price of 479 euros – which, in dollars, sounds even nicer in the ears at $ 399. What else should Apple’s US publications consider in advance?
Nevertheless, viewing the media voices is always worthwhile. Not only because of creative gems such as Joanna Stern’s animated Frankenphone video in the technical section of the Wall Street Journal, but also to witness the mastery of the sporting challenge that all reviewers faced: what do you say about an iPhone, about which everything is actually was said?
Dieter Bohn for The Verge
If I were to buy the iPhone SE, I would seriously consider spending the extra $ 50 to upgrade the storage to 128 GB just in case I need it in three or five years. This period of time is the reason why the iPhone SE is such a “big deal”. No other phone that costs less than $ 500 can claim to be as good and last as long. The iPhone SE isn’t just a good deal. It is also a really good smartphone.
Joanna Stern for that Wall Street Journal
We introduce: The new iPhone SE. An iPhone for people who hate new iPhones. […] OK, I’m not an Apple copywriter, but the iPhone SE is a great phone. It’s just not for those of us who upgrade their phones every year or two.
Lauren Goode for Wired
[…] If you happen to need a new iPhone and think it’s ridiculous to spend $ 1,000 on an iPhone, the iPhone SE might be little good news for you now.
