JAKARTA - Apple has officially introduced its cheap mobile phone, the iPhone SE 2020. Similar to its predecessor, this phone is the successor to the iPhone SE, which was launched four years ago.

On the predecessor variant, the SE takes the iconic design of the iPhone 5S. So this second-generation iPhone SE has a physical appearance similar to the iPhone 8. The difference lies in the innards or specifications of this Apple's entry-level cellphone.

Even though it looks like the iPhone 5S, the first generation SE has a runway equivalent to the iPhone 6S. Now Apple is repeating this recipe on the iPhone SE 2020, by immersing the same specifications as the iPhone 11 variant.

As an advantage, the iPhone SE 2020 has a Bionic A13 processor, which is Apple's fastest processor at the moment. Of course, the company based in Cupertino, USA does not want this new device to be present without providing specifications that tempt its fans.

There is a reason why Apple has the courage to sell the iPhone SE 2020, which is cheap but has specifications that are quite fierce in its class. According to an analyst at Atlantic Equities, James Cordwell, Apple is aware of consumers' desire to buy older models such as the iPhone 8, due to their lower prices.

"Given the price, the iPhone SE can expand the reach of its users to get Apple phones for the long term but at an affordable price," James said as quoted by the Mac Daily News.
