Apple’s long-awaited iPhone SE was finally announced on Apr 24, 2020, succeeding the popular but aging iPhone SE munchkin that was released in 2016. With powerful internals and iPhone 8-like design, the new SE keeps the price relatively low for the number of features it offers, bringing insane value and new life to the mid-range phone market which it would likely dominate.
The new iPhone SE is here and it comes to replace the iPhone 8 which will no longer be offered. In fact, this new iPhone SE is a lot like the iPhone 8, and not at all like the first-generation iPhone SE which was a tiny, 4-inch phone.
iPhone SE (2020) vs iPhone 8 differences summary:
For all else, new iPhone SE is absolutely identical to the iPhone 8: it has the same battery and Apple officially says both phones can play back video for around 13 hours; it has exactly the same dimensions, exactly the same Touch ID, exactly the same IP67 water protection and the list goes on and on.
The thing that upsets the most with the new iPhone SE has to be that slow 5W charger that Apple includes in the box. Both the new iPhone SE and the iPhone 8 support fast charging, but for both you would need to buy a fast-charging adapter separately.
Also, it's worth knowing that cases for the iPhone 8 will fit the new iPhone SE without a problem.
