Apple announced its latest iPhone SE for Wednesday 2020 with the goal of attracting price-conscious phone users who may not be able to buy $ 1,000 phones like that iPhone 11 Pro or Galaxy S20. As a continuation of 2016 Hit sleeper iPhone with the same nameThe iPhone SE starts at $ 399, GBP 419, or AU $ 749. And with a 4.7-inch screen, it’s significantly smaller than Apple’s current flagship and that iPhone XR.
Here is the quick and easy division between the models.

With a four-year hiatus between the new iPhone SE and the older one, Apple went downtown with the upgrades. This includes wireless charging, better camera specs, and water resistance. (Unfortunately, the new iPhone SE doesn’t have a headphone jack for wired headphone users.) If you’re looking for a new iPhone but want to save as much money as possible, the iPhone SE is the best choice – you save $ 300 in comparison at the price of the iPhone 11 (which costs $ 699, $ 729, or $ 1,199).

The iPhone 11 costs $ 300 more than the iPhone SE. Although there are many of the same internal specifications, there are two main advantages: it has a larger screen (6.1 inches versus 4.7, measured diagonally) and offers better camera specifications (2x optical zoom, a second wide angle) and lens a better selfie camera to start with).
Do you need more specificity? Here you will find detailed instructions on how the differences between the two iPhones stack up.
Size and design: the iPhone SE is small and compact
The most obvious difference between the two phones is that the iPhone 11 is bigger. The iPhone 11 has a 6.1-inch screen, while the iPhone SE has a 4.7-inch display. While the former gives you more screen space for your apps and watching videos, the iPhone SE will attract users for its convenient portability and compact grip.
Both iPhones have LCD displays, but the iPhone 11 has a “Liquid Retina HD display”, while the iPhone SE has “Retina HD”. These are trademarks that Apple uses to differentiate its display technology. All you need to know is that the iPhone 11’s screen is sharper, although both have the same number of pixels per inch or pixel density.

Some users will also like the home button of the iPhone SE. After Apple discontinued iPhone 8, iPhone SE will be the only iPhone that Apple sells with a physical home button. Not only is this intuitive to use, it also means that you don’t have to use swiping gestures to return to the home screen or to launch current apps. The home button is also the device’s fingerprint reader for unlocking the phone and authorizing digital payments (what Apple calls Touch ID). However, the iPhone 11 uses facial imaging sensors on the front camera for biometric security (also known as: Face ID).
The devices are both IP certified for water protection. But because the iPhone 11 is rated IP68 Compared to the IP67 protection class of the iPhone SE, this means that the iPhone 11 is a bit more durable against immersion (as in, it is certified to withstand prolonged or deep immersion in water). On paper, an IP67 certification level means that the iPhone SE can survive in up to one meter of water (3.3 feet) for about 30 minutes.
After all, the iPhone SE is only available in black, white and red. The iPhone 11 is also available in these three colors. However, if you want more options, you can also purchase it in pastel yellow, green, and purple.
Camera: iPhone 11 has the upper hand
If you are not necessarily a power user of the camera, the single 12 megapixel rear view camera of the iPhone SE should be sufficient to publish pictures on Instagram and occasional video recordings. However, if you are interested in photography or want to have more tools available, the iPhone 11 offers a much better camera setting than the iPhone SE.

The iPhone 11, for example has a second wide-angle camera. That means you can take stunning landscape photos or creative, more dramatic pictures up close. And although both iPhones have a 5x digital zoom that uses close-up rendering software, only the iPhone 11 has the hardware to do a 2x optical zoom that doesn’t affect image quality. The iPhone 11 also has Apple’s camera mode in low light, night mode. Night mode reduces digital artifacts, graininess, and motion blur to capture and brighten images taken in low light.
With the front-facing camera, the iPhone 11 not only has a better selfie camera, but also more megapixels (12 megapixels compared to the 7 megapixels of the iPhone SE). It can record 4K video (compared to the iPhone SE 1080p video) and Record slow motion video, also.
Processor and battery: Both have A13 Bionic
Apple could have equipped the iPhone SE as the main budget phone with an older processor. However, the device is equipped with the latest proprietary device A13 Bionic chipThat said, we should be able to see similar processing performance speeds, but we won’t know for sure until we have the iPhone SE in our hands and can run benchmark tests.

When we ran Geekbench 5 and 3DMarks Slingshot Unlimited on iPhone 11 last year, it was comparable – and sometimes even better than – Galaxy S20, Pixel 4 and OnePlus 8 Pro. But we still don’t know anything about the performance of the iPhone SE.
As always, Apple has not announced the battery capacity of the iPhone SE. However, the iPhone SE’s battery doesn’t last as long as that of the iPhone 11, according to numbers. When the iPhone 11 was announced, Apple said it lasted up to “an hour longer” than the iPhone XR, citing 10 hours of streaming video playback . Unofficial shutdowns of the handset also resulted in a 3,110 mAh battery. This time, Apple said the iPhone SE had the same battery life as the iPhone 8 and listed 8 hours of streaming video playback. Although we do not yet know the technical data for the iPhone SE, the iPhone 8 had a 1,821 mAh battery, according to third-party suppliers.
