The iPhone SE: A Budget-Friendly Option with a Twist

It looks so close to like the white or silver but this is starlight as you can see it's got a bit of a hint of its like an off-white kind of finish aluminum finish over here but the rest does pretty much look like it's white overall. This body is similar to what we saw with the iPhone 8 and the previous iPhone SE, if you didn't know SE means like special edition but it's pretty much one of their older devices with crazy spec bumps that allows it to be at a very very inexpensive price. This retails for about $429, which is a 30% increase compared to the previous generation, released in 2020. However, this year's model has been upgraded with the A15 Bionic chip, making it just as powerful as an iPhone 13 or 13 Pro.

The processor upgrade unlocks several features and improvements, particularly when it comes to the camera system. The iPhone SE boasts a 12-megapixel shooter, which is somewhat compromised by the lack of a larger display compared to newer models. However, with access to the A15 Bionic's power, this camera system can deliver impressive results. Additionally, the SE features Touch ID, which provides a convenient way to secure your device, albeit an old-school approach.

One of the most significant advantages of the iPhone SE is its affordability. Priced at $429, it's an attractive option for those who want to experience the power of an A15 Bionic chip without breaking the bank. The phone also offers improved battery life, thanks to better power efficiency and more efficient hardware. This makes it a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable device that won't drain their wallet.

In terms of design, the iPhone SE retains some of its predecessor's features, including the home button and bezels at the top and bottom. While this may seem old-school compared to newer models, it's still a functional design that provides access to Touch ID and other convenient features. The phone is also rocking the latest chip, which means you get access to new features and capabilities.

For those considering purchasing an iPhone SE, it's worth noting that this device is not meant for power users or those seeking cutting-edge features like a larger display or advanced camera capabilities. Instead, it's designed as an entry-point into the iPhone ecosystem, offering a reliable and powerful device at a fraction of the cost of newer models.

In conclusion, the iPhone SE offers a unique blend of affordability, performance, and convenience that makes it an attractive option for those looking to upgrade their smartphone without breaking the bank. Whether you're purchasing one for yourself or as a gift for someone else, this phone is definitely worth considering. Stay tuned for our full review and analysis of this exciting new device.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's going on guys it's your average consumer and it's iphone day sort of not the crazy iphones but today we are checking out some new iphones that apple recently announced we got a nice little package over here so they've got a few other things so let's get to unboxing all right we'll start with some of the stuff that we're a little more familiar with let's check out some iphones well they're all iphones okay so we're gonna kick things off with the new iphone 13 so let's take a look let's pop this box open i still can't get over how small these new boxes are so we've got like a deep like forest green we've seen apple do this in the past where they come out with these refreshes with new colors i think the last one was what like that purple one right carl you should know you love purple i know it's purple okay it doesn't look bad if you've been holding off for a green iphone you want that leafy iphone it's here now now we don't need to go through the rest of the box right we've seen this a million times but they did come out with a new color for the pro as well which looks a little bit different and here we have the pro model okay now you know what i thought this was gonna look a lot like the midnight green from like the iphone 11 but it's greener yes it's definitely greener than that and look at the sides got that stainless steel nice green finish to it it actually looked pretty clean green was the color you were waiting for if you were like dang why didn't you come out with a green one like i am every year with the teal uh this is the option that you want but honestly that's about it like didn't change anything up besides the color so just got that green color now and that alpine green but they both look good so i'm here for it my apologies you guys 13 mini 13 13 pro 13 pro max so we just got some color refreshes for the 13 models which damn they got fingerprints already but they also got green cases now no i mean they're green cases right maybe there's some of that apple magic in here no they're they're the same listen i'm telling you there's gonna be some apple magic in here and the magic is magsafe no i'm just just joking guys they're they're green cases so if you pick up one of the green models you want to throw it in a green case there you have it are we spending too much time on the green you said green is nasty oh it's disrespectful teal is literally like blue and green i mean i love blue i love too but you're entitled to your opinion you ain't getting fired because of that okay we got green cases let's move on to something really important the new iphone se this is a very familiar design this is the design of what like the iphone 8 i believe but they upgraded the internals you know what let's just pop it out the box first i don't remember apple having like the little indicators on the sticker that it comes with no i don't remember that that's interesting okay it looks so close to like the white or silver but this is starlight as you can see it's got a bit of a a hint of it's like an off-white kind of finish aluminum finish over here but the rest does pretty much look like it's white overall this body is similar to what we saw with the iphone 8 and the previous iphone se and if you didn't know se means like special edition but it's pretty much one of their older devices with crazy spec bumps that allows it to be at a very very inexpensive price this retails is going to retail for about 430 bucks it's a 30 increase compared to the previous generation which came out what in 2020 but this guy has been upgraded with the a15 bionic so it's just as powerful as an iphone 13 iphone 13 pro but you get it for so much less so you've got an insane amount of power here when it comes to the processor which also unlocks a few other features when it comes to the camera which we'll talk about in a second but the body overall you're still going to get oh that was kind of blasphemous wasn't it i just kind of ripped this off i didn't do the whole tech peel damn my bad y'all but this one does have like those bezels at the top and bottom but you also get that home button so you have access to touch id i missed the days of touch id i wish apple would just just put it in the power button or something just right here touch id bam that would be so nice they do it with the ipad air so it's like iphone let's go let's do it that's neither here nor there this guy does have touch id and the original home button uh so it's you know very old school now because this thing is rocking the latest chip like i said it has all the power of the newer devices but it also should improve battery life which with the original se was not one of its strong points but with better power efficiency and all that good stuff this one should last longer so that's something we're going to be testing out jay i guess we got to do like a real day in the life but with the new chip you get access to new features you get camera improvements i believe this is a 12 megapixel shooter back here but you do get a bunch of camera features that you would find on some of the newer devices because it has access to the kind of power that the a15 bionic brings it that makes this more powerful than i think the iphone 11 iphone 12 that's all still on sale of course you are making compromises when it comes to the camera system and you are losing out on the larger display but at 429 bucks who's complaining right you get a phone that can last you a few years for that kind of price and it's an iphone so you get on that imessage come on might be worth it but we'll talk more about that in a full review let's see they sent over a case for it too right yeah of course yeah yeah yeah it is i'm i'm with you on that one and bam so they got case options as well uh i think some people were hoping to see magsafe come to the new ses but if you think about it i mean the se isn't necessarily the phone you want if you're looking for all the features an iphone really has because it's it's just not that it's like your entry point into iphones i guess you know since it's the lowest price it's not necessarily about having the craziest hardware more so about having the internals that you need as well as the software that's kind of what the se is for this is the kind of phone i buy for my mom you know my mom's not going to use the ultra wide lens she needs one lens so she doesn't get confused or anything and she just needs it to be able to last her a few years which with the a15 she'll definitely be able to do that and it's not a crazy investment because it's only 400 bucks but what do you guys think of the se is this something that you would pick up maybe to have as a secondary phone or maybe you pick it up for someone as a gift if you don't want to invest like a thousand bucks since they might not use all the features why would you pick up the iphone se would you guys be interested in getting your hands on one of these let me know with a comment down below apple announced a few other things like the mac studio the new monitor so be on the lookout for future videos we're going to cover
