Unboxing the iPhone SE 2020 Edition: A Closer Look at Apple's Latest Affordable Option
What's up guys? I'm Saf, and I'm here on SuperSaf TV to unbox the brand new, affordable iPhone SE 2020 edition. This device has been generating a lot of buzz, and I'm excited to dive in and see what it has to offer.
At first glance, the front of the box reveals a stunning image of the iPhone itself, complete with the Apple logo on both sides and at the top and bottom. The iPhone SE 2020 is designed by Apple in California, and it's clear that attention to detail was a priority during its design process. As I carefully remove the plastic packaging, the device itself is revealed, and I'm struck by how small it is. It feels almost surreal compared to my usual iPhone 11 Pro Max.
Inside the box, you'll find a welcome packet filled with paperwork, including a SIM card tool, a Product Red leaflet (more on that in a moment), and some other goodies like a USB-to-Lightening cable, Lightning EarPods, and a five-watt power brick. The iPhone SE 2020 supports fast charging, but the charger itself is sold separately - it's not included in the box.
As I prepare to open up the device, my excitement grows. I'm not used to using small phones like this one anymore, so it's a bit of an adjustment. Let me just peel off the plastic cover, and... wow! This thing is tiny. For perspective, I'll grab my iPhone 11 Pro Max next to it - you can see the size difference for yourself. But that's not all - this device feels incredibly light as well, weighing in at around 148 grams.
The iPhone SE 2020 comes in three colors: (RED), black, and white. Our model is the (RED) version, which supports Apple's partnership with the charity (RED). This program works by donating a portion of the sales from Product (Red) items to HIV and AIDS programs - although, as we're told in the box, these donations will be going towards COVID-19 initiatives for now. It's a great gesture, and I'm happy to see Apple using its platform to make a positive impact.
Now that we've got our device unwrapped, let's take a closer look at the build quality. The iPhone SE 2020 features an aluminum frame with glass on the back, which gives it a premium feel without breaking the bank. My friend JerryRigEverything has famously tested the durability of various smartphones, and I'm curious to see how this device holds up against his rigors.
So there you have it - the unboxing experience for the iPhone SE 2020 edition. It's clear that Apple has put a lot of thought into designing an affordable device that still feels premium and offers all the latest features. Stay tuned for our full review and hands-on experience with this exciting new smartphone!
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en(upbeat electronic music)- What's up guys.Saf here on SuperSaf TVand we've got the brand new,iPhone SE 2020 edition, in the house.This is the cheapest, brand-new iPhoneyou can buy right now.Lot's of hype around it,let's go ahead, get it unboxedand see what it's got to offer.So at the front of thebox we do have a pictureof the front of the iPhoneand it's got the iPhonelogo on the left and rightas well as the Apple logoon the top and the bottom.Out of the plastic.All right.Designed by Apple in California.And here is the device,wow that, feels, so, so small.It's so weird because I'm soused to iPhone 11 Pro Max.Now as well as the iPhone SE,you do get a bit of paperwork.You get a SIM card tool.There's a Product Red leafletbecause this is the Product (RED) edition.For those of you guys who don't know,Apple works with the charity (RED)and a portion of the salesfrom Product (Red) itemsfrom Apple do go towardsHIV and AIDS programs.However, for the time being,they are going to be goingtowards COVID-19 programs.So, definitely a good thing.Inside the box as well, wehave a USB to Lightening cable.Some Lightning EarPodsas well as a five watt powerbrick.Now the iPhone SE 2020does support fast chargingbut that charger is sold separatelyand it also does supportQi wireless charging.Now let's get to the iPhone itselfand let's get rid of the plastic.I really can't get over how small this is,I've not used a small phone like thisfor such a long time.And just to give you some perspectivehere is my iPhone 11.You can just see the size difference.This also feels so much lighter,it's only around 148 grams.Now this is the (RED) version of coursebut there is also a black versionas well as a white version available.We've got an aluminum framewith glass here on the back.It's quite a premium butin the words of my friendJerryRigEverything, \"Glass isglass and glass can break.\"So I definitely recommendpicking up a case for thisfrom our video sponsor Spigen.I've been using Spigen casesmyself for many, many yearsand my personal favorite isdefinitely the Liquid Airwhich is minimal andprovides a good balancebetween size and protection.But they've got a huge varietyof cases for the iPhone SEincluding for the firsttime, some red cases.I'll leave a link in the description belowif you want to pick up aSpigen case for your iPhone SE.Now the new iPhone SE is IP67water and dust resistant,and yes, it looks pretty muchthe same as the iPhone 8.It's exactly the same interms of the dimensions,the button placements,the camera placement.One of the new things thatwe've got is that the Apple logois now more towards the centerto match the newer iPhonesand if we look towardsthe front, once again,pretty much the same as the iPhone 8.One of the things that we have this timeis that across the board all of the colorsnow have a black front,we don't have a white front anymore.And yes, we have those bezels.Now I know there's going tobe lots of people going crazyin the comments saying,how can you have these big bezels in 2020?Well if you're somebody who'scomplaining about that then,this phone probably isn't for you.I'm taking a look at this display,it is a 4.7 inch retina HD displayand it does have thesame pixel destiny, 326.The same contrast ratioas well as the same peakbrightness, 625 nits,as the iPhone 11.The biggest difference howeveris that you do have a muchbigger screen to body ratioon the iPhone 11 comparedto the iPhone SE.Now honestly speaking,I think the targetaudience for this device,coming in at this cheaper price pointprobably won't reallycare about the bezels.One advantage, shall we say,that you do get with having these bezelsis that there is Touch ID.So we've got the fingerprint scanner here,on the home button.Now, I do really like Face IDbut you guys have probablyheard me say beforethat I do prefer a physicalfingerprint scannerwhich is just moreconvenient, much faster,works in many more situations.If you've got a mask on for example,Face ID is not going towork, if you are in bedand your face is halfwaysunken in the pillow,once again, Face ID's not going to workbut you're going to beable to use Touch ID,so you can kind of see that as a positive.Now although the outer shellis pretty much the same as the iPhone 8,the biggest improvement thatwe've got is on the inside.This is powered by theApple A13 bionic chipand this is the same chipthat's in the iPhone 11,the iPhone 11 Pro, as wellas the iPhone 11 Pro Max.Now those phones are pricedmuch higher than this,especially if you look atthe iPhone 11 Pro andthe iPhone 11 Pro Max,they're more then twice,maybe two and a half timesmore expensive than thisso it is quite impressive tosee that level of chip setson this device and that meansthings are going to be very,very smooth, along with iOS 13.And also this, in terms ofsoftware and performance,is going to last you adecent amount of time.In addition to that youdo get camera improvementsbecause the A13 has itsimage signal processor,so it's going to be able toprocess images much betterthan the iPhone 8 did.Front-facing camera is seven megapixels,it can film at up to 1080p.It also supports portrait selfies,which we didn't have on the iPhone 8and the rear-facingcamera is 12 megapixels,it can film up to 4Kat 60 frames a second,supports extended dynamic rangeat 4K up to 30 frames a second.It also support portrait modewhich works for people, not objectsbut these are featuresthat are now enabledthanks to the A13 bionic chip.Definitely let me know ifthere's a SuperSaf Stylecamera comparison that you'd like me to doof the iPhone SE andlet me know which deviceyou'd like me to put this up againstin the comments below.Now I'm not sure of the exactsize of the battery in here.I assume it's similar to the iPhone 8,so it's not going to lastyou the same amount of timeas the iPhone 11sbut because it does havethe A13 bionic chip,that is quite power efficientso we'll see how long this lasts.We do have stereo speakers,there's one bottom firing andthere's one in the ear piece.And this is availablein three storage versions,64, 128, and 256 gigabytes.They are of course at different pricesbut this starts at 419 pounds or $399and for that reason,I think this is going tobe selling very, very well.And if the iPhone 11s areoutside of your budgetthen this is going to be amuch more affordable option.I would however recommendgoing for the 128 GB versionjust so you don't have to worryabout storage going forward.It is around $50 or 50 pounds more.And that is the iPhone SE 2020.What do you guys think about it?Are you going to be picking one up?And what coverage would you like meto do with it going forward?Definitely let me knowin the comments below.I hope you enjoyed this videoand found it useful,if you did then do getthat thumbs up to me,and if you haven't already,then be sure to subscribeand hit that bell iconso you don't miss any future coverage.(bell
