Apple iPhone SE 2020 Details
Lots to love. Less to spend.
iPhone SE packs our most powerful chip into our most popular size at our most affordable price. It’s just what you’ve been waiting for.
iPhone 11 Pro called. It wants its chip back.
We put the brains of iPhone 11 Pro in the body of iPhone SE. A13 Bionic is the fastest ever chip in a smartphone. So everything feels fluid, whether you’re launching apps, playing the latest games, or exploring new ways to work and play with augmented reality.
Smile, you’re in Portrait mode.
The advanced camera system with A13 Bionic brings you Portrait mode, which artfully blurs the background to put the focus on your subject — even when you’re taking selfies.
Depth Control
A simple slider lets you blur the background as much or as little as you like — before or after you take the photo.
Portrait Lighting
Choose from six studio-quality effects, then adjust the lighting intensity to show your subject in the best possible light.
Let there be light. And shadow. And contour.
Next-generation Smart HDR knows a face when it sees one, and intelligently relights it to capture more natural-looking contours and skin tones. It also finesses highlight and shadow detail in the background. So every part of your photo looks amazing.
High, high, high, high-definition video.
4K video means you’ll see four times more detail than in 1080p HD video. And extended dynamic range adds greater detail in highlights and shadows.
QuickTake.
When a photo op turns into a video op, you can instantly start recording video by just holding the shutter.
Home sweet Home button.
Touch ID lets you securely unlock your iPhone and sign in to apps instantly. You can even use it with Apple Pay to grab a coffee, get a yoga app or shop for trainers online. All without reaching for your credit card.
Privacy is built in.
Everything we make is designed to give you control over your information. All the iMessages you send are encrypted. Fingerprint data is stored on your device, never on Apple servers or in iCloud. Apple Pay doesn’t share your credit card number. And the list goes on.
Survives splashes, sploshes, sprinkles, sprays, splatters and spills.
iPhone SE is water resistant to 1 metre for 30 minutes. It’s not afraid of a little coffee, tea or juice either. And dust? No worries.
Built for iOS 13. And beyond.
iPhone SE is made to run the latest features — and even some that haven’t been invented yet. So you can use Dark Mode, Siri Shortcuts and the new Photos app now. And take advantage of feature and security updates in the future.
Please Note- Item supplied with USB Charging cable only. Please pay close attention to the upgradeable to iOS in the specification. We recommend you check the iOS required for any apps you may wish to use via Apple iPhone App Store HERE before purchase. ****
