The iPhone SE 2020 houses a fast A13 Bionic chip, 4.7-inch Retina display, Touch ID sensor, and wireless charging. Although there’s only one camera on the front and back, they get a boost from Apple’s machine learning tricks to capture portraits. Face ID fans will also be bummed to learn that the new iPhone SE doesn’t support that feature. Despite those few limitations, it’s still an excellent phone if you don’t require
the cutting-edge horsepower found in the newer iPhone 12 models. (If it’s iPhone 12 deals you seek, we have the savings on those phones, too.)
