iPhone SE PLUS: your first steps with iOS 13
iPhone SE

Specifications £419 FROM apple.com/uk

FEATURES 4.7in Retina HD display with Haptic Touch, A13 Bionic chip, 64GB of storage, 12MP Wide camera with f/1.8 aperture and 4K video recording, 7MP front camera, Home button with Touch ID, 802.11ax Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi 6), Bluetooth 5.0, up to 13 hours battery life (video playback)

The iPhone SE is back! Two years after the original SE shifted off this mortal coil, its iPhone 8-based replacement has arrived. And it’s a doozy. For just £419, you gain entry to the Apple ecosystem and that low-cost pricing makes it a great first iPhone for younger members of your household.

What do you get? All three models in the iPhone SE line-up get a 4.7in Retina HD display with 1334x750 resolution, the same A13 Bionic processor as the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, plus a single-lens 12MP Wide camera with an f/1.8 aperture and a 7MP front camera for selfies and FaceTime. The base £419 model gets 64GB of onboard storage, the £469 step-up model has 128GB and the £569 top-end version gets 256GB, which is plenty of wriggle room for most people. That pricing also makes even the most expensive iPhone SE £160 cheaper than the entry-level iPhone 11, and Apple makes it easy to get the iPhone SE for even less. Trade-in your old iPhone and you could pick up the 64GB SE for just £279. Or why not get one on a mobile contract? A 64GB SE on Vodafone’s entry-level Red 24GB plan, for example, costs just £29 upfront, then £39/month. And for that you also get 24GB of mobile data and unlimited UK calls and texts.
