From the onset, Apple has been one of the smartphone companies that produce the best. Yeah, you can read that again, one of the best. This owes to the fact that they produce their phones, pads, pods and other gadgets on their own. Apple phones run on their own OS, iOS and stands out with several other unique features making their products stand out and rather on the expensive side. In this review, we’ll be discussing a recent phone released by Apple, the Apple iPhone SE 2020.
The first time that Apple released an iPhone SE (the original version) was in March, 2016 which was three years after the release of the Apple iPhone 5s. Then, the iPhone SE original looked just like the iPhone 5s, in build, in display, and then the original iPhone SE had the same processor with the flagship at that time. Fast forward to April 2020, Apple announced its second phone in the iPhone SE series, the Apple iPhone SE 2020. This product was announced three years after the iPhone 8 was released and has the same features as the iPhone 8 in build, in display and all, only that it has got the processor of the iPhone 11 pro which was the flagship at that time of release.
