Let’s hit a brake here, aren’t these iPhone 8 specs? If you are asking the same question, you are not alone. However, the iPhone SE packs an A13 Bionic chip(the same one found in the $1000+ iPhone 11 pro) What? Really? How? If you are asking these questions? Trust me, you are not alone.
Combined with Apple’s wonderful track record of supporting software updates of its devices for many years, budget-conscious buyers shouldn’t have any concerns about their devices NOT getting their support. (like many android devices out there, sigh)
The base model of the iPhone SE comes in 64GB of storage, but if you want more storage, the 128GB variant costs only $50 more at $449, and the 256GB variant costs an additional $50 more at $549. At the time of the pandemic, the ultra-low price tag of the iPhone SE really is a great offer. So yes, the iPhone SE 2020 is the best phone under $400 in 2020.
