Apple's iPhone SE is set to enter a crowded and highly competitive market. Will the new design match the smartphones it hopes to outsell?
One of the issues Tim Cook and his team are facing is the iPhone 16. Apple needs to balance out offering enough capability in the iPhone SE to make it attractive to the mid-range market while keeping enough technological distance from the iPhone 16 to allow for a meaningful upsell to the more expensive smartphone.
Fast refreshing screens are commonplace at this price point. The smooth animations and the increased comfort are considered minimum stakes in the Android world. The option to have a variable rate, potentially all the way down to a battery saving 1Hz, can be seen on a small number of handsets, but the option is there.
It's also a clear difference between the iPhone SE and almost every competitor's mid-range smartphone. Apple may talk about the advantages of the Neural Engine in capturing and editing the best shot possible, but there's only one lens. Other phones on the same shelf offer a telephoto, panoramic, ultrawide or even a macro lens.While it is not visible on the phone, a glance at the main specs will show the iPhone SE's battery comes in at a reported 3,279 mAh.
