The Apple iPhone SE. The
Special Edition. Even if the Smaller Edition was more appropriate. And just
like the first iPhone SE, its second generation is both - Small, even if larger
than the first one, and Special - as such launch happens once in four years or
so.
We are sure Apple had plans for a great premiere event last March, but COVID-19 turned everything upside down and such plans were abruptly scrapped. The new iPhone was unveiled fanfare-less on the maker's website, out of the blue, but it quickly became famous for being not only one of the cheapest iPhones ever made but also as one of the season's hottest bang for the buck offers.

The iPhone SE's camera can record 4K
video at up to 60 frames per second with optical image stabilization and support
for slow-mo video and time-lapse video. The front-facing camera supports
Portrait Mode as well using the image signal processor and Neural Engine of the
A13 Bionic.
Inside, the iPhone SE is equipped with modern chip
technology, featuring the same A13 Bionic chip as the
iPhone 11, which Apple says is the fastest chip in a smartphone to
date. The A13 Bionic has a dedicated 8-core neural engine that can perform 5
trillion operations per second, two Machine Learning Accelerators on the CPU,
and a Machine Learning Controller for better performance and efficiency.
When it comes to battery life, the iPhone SE lasts for 13 hours when watching videos, eight hours when streaming videos, and 40 hours when listening to audio. It is capable of fast charging and can charge to 50 percent in 30 minutes when using an 18W power adapter or higher.
