Apple’s fan-favourite iPhone has gotten yet another upgrade, and in good news for iPhone 8 enthusiasts, it still comes wrapped in a familiar shape.
Revealed at its Peek Performance event, Apple’s third-generation iPhone SE arrives with the company’s A15 Bionic chipset in tow – among other promises such as improved battery life, 5G support, and a familiar 4.7″ display.
Apple claims that thanks to the A15 Bionic chipset, the SE is 1.8x faster than its indirect predecessor, the iPhone 8.
This year, Apple has refreshed the SE’s camera system, which now carries a (still) singular 12-megapixel wide camera system that supports Deep Fusion, Photographic Styles, Portrait Mode, and Smart HDR 4.
The model claims a longer battery life than the previous generation iPhone SE despite its 5G connectivity, and the handset remains compatible with both fast charging and wireless charging using the Qi standard.
Pre-orders for the new iPhone SE begin on the 11th of March, where the device will ship in three colours – namely Midnight, Starlight, and Product(RED). The SE will retail for $429 USD with options for 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB of internal storage.
