A few years ago, the iPhone SE became one of the best selling iPhone models. And today it makes its return with a popular design and new features. Better yet remains the most affordable iPhone starting from a Recommended Retail Price of AUD$749.

The second-generation iPhone SE features a 4.7-inch Retina HD Display, Touch ID, A13 Bionic Chip, and best Single-Camera system in an iPhone. Along with Touch ID for secure authentication and Apple Pay, wireless charging, and more. All with a compact design that Apple first debuted with the iPhone 8.

“iPhone SE features the industry-leading performance of A13 Bionic that enables great battery life, takes stunning Portrait mode and Smart HDR photos, shoots amazing videos with stereo audio, is great for games and super fast web surfing, and is built with the same industry-leading security features our customers expect. We can’t wait to get iPhone SE into customers’ hands.”

Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing

iPhone SE (2020) features an aerospace-grade aluminium and durable glass design with an all-black front. Three colours are available to choose from – black, white, and (PRODUCT)RED. The design is also water and dust-resistant with an IP67 rating. Giving the iPhone water resistance for 30 minutes in up to 1 meter.

Highlights

Key features of the second-generation iPhone SE include:

  • A13 Bionic Chip: the fastest chip ever in a smartphone, first introduced with iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro

  • 12-megapixel f/1.8 aperture Wide camera with Portrait mode, all six Portrait Lighting effects and Depth Control
  • Portraits with the front camera
  • Touch ID for secure authentication and Apple Pay
