Its no news that Apple has announced the brand new iPhone SE. This is a phone which gives you most of the bells and whistles of a fancy, expensive iPhone, all at a very compelling price point. Starting at around Rs. 42,000 , here is why this is an excellent move by the company, especially in a market like India.
But not everything is nice and easy for Apple. The SE, is surely an amazing phone, with a lot to offer, but there are a couple of things which one needs to keep in mind.
The small form factor, which might be comfortable, is surely a bit of an inconvenience at times. Say while you get some work done on your phone, or wish to watch a video or scroll through websites, it is definitely more convenient to have a larger screen to watch content. Multi-tasking becomes easier and overall, it is an added advantage, especially for a power user. So this one handed and super comfortable small design does have its own drawbacks which must be noted.
Another important point, again on similar lines, is that though this design is a nice blast from the past, that is not necessarily a good thing. The design does look fairly outdated now, with those huge bezels, and the presence of a front mounted fingerprint scanner.
The SE is still a great phone, for all the reasons mentioned above and more, but yes it is important to keep in mind that it is still maybe not the best phone out there at this price. The OnePlus 8 does give some decent competition. Stay tuned for our thoughts on the OnePlus 8 vs the iPhone SE 2020.

These of-course are my thoughts and speculations on the device, only the final sales figures can tell whether or not this product was indeed a brilliant move by the company.
