In a discreet way and surprising everyone, yesterday (15) Apple announced the new iPhone SE, which delivers the same design and compact body as the iPhone 8, but with better specifications and lower price, something that is not common in the company's products. .
Now, seeking to clarify some details that may have "missed" at launch, we decided to make a list of 7 things they didn't tell you about the iPhone SE.
Does not deliver the same sensor as the iPhone 11 Pro
Some people claim that the iPhone SE features the same 12MP sensor as the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro, but that's not the case. In fact, it's not even the same sensor as the iPhone XR, given that Apple chose to opt for the same lens used in the iPhone 8. Don't worry, this doesn't mean that this device delivers inferior results, and we'll explain why.
When we talk about photography, specifications alone do not contribute to a good image being recorded. Since the launch of the iPhone 8 in 2017, the "world" of mobile photography has evolved a lot, with software and processor being able to improve (and a lot) the final quality of photos.
So, as much as the iPhone SE has an "old" sensor, the entire system and processing are up to date, something that allows you to deliver great results. Another curiosity about the camera of this device is that the portrait mode only works with people. Also, Apple didn't introduce "Deep Fusion" technology, probably because it doesn't just depend on the processor.
Has video stabilization on the front camera
The iPhone SE is Apple's first smartphone with a 4,7" screen that delivers this feature, something that cannot be found on the iPhone 6, 6s, 7 and 8. However, it is worth remembering that stabilization is digital only.
It has 3GB of RAM and the same battery as the iPhone 8
For some unknown reason, Apple doesn't like to reveal the amount of RAM and battery capacity of its iPhones, but thanks to the operator China Telecom, we know that the new iPhone SE delivers 3GB of RAM, an improvement over the iPhone 8 that brought 2GB
On the other hand, Apple decided to keep the same 1.821 mAh battery as the 2017 model. At least now we have support for 18W fast charging, but the charger compatible with that power doesn't come in the box.

It is Apple's most "affordable" smartphone at the moment
The iPhone SE can be considered Apple's "cheapest" smartphone, as its 64GB version was launched for US$ 399 (R$ 2.094), while the iPhone 8 with the same amount of storage cost US$ 499 (R$ 2.611). XNUMX).
In addition, the 128GB variant also weighs less in your pocket, at US$449 (R$ 2.350), being US$ 50 (R$ 261) cheaper than the same version of the iPhone 8. The 256GB model can be taken home. for $549, which is also $2.873 cheaper than the 50GB iPhone XR.
Anyway, it is important to remember that these values refer to the United States, since in Spain the cost is much higher. Here, the 64GB, 128GB and 256GB variants of the iPhone SE will sell for R$3.699, R$3.999 and R$4.499, respectively.
Includes one year of Apple TV+
Apple's streaming service is not as strong as Netflix, but it has been growing a lot and can be an interesting option for those who like drama series, cartoons and many more.
Seeking to increase its share in this segment, the company announced that iPhone SE buyers will get a year of subscription, and the best: this offer is valid in Spain.
what does IF mean
Apple never explained the real reason for having adopted the "SE" nomenclature in the first 2016 model, nor now in the 2020 version. However, it is speculated that the meaning is "Special Edition". This makes some sense considering that both were enhanced versions of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 8.
There were two minor design changes
As with the iPhone 11, the Apple logo has now been centered right in the middle of the iPhone SE's back cover. In addition, the word "iPhone" was also removed, making everything cleaner.
Another change is on the front of the device. Every iPhone with Touch ID, except the black ones, hit the market with a white panel around the screen. This time, all versions of the iPhone SE deliver a black frame, a change that for some is very welcome.
