iPhone SE 2020 was made
official by Apple on Wednesday. The new low-cost Apple iPhone debuted on
Wednesday after much anticipation. It was originally rumoured to be called
iPhone 9 or iPhone SE 2, but Apple decided to stick with iPhone SE name with 2nd-generation
tag. The iPhone SE 2020 retains the design that iPhone 8 also sports, but
the new iPhone comes with the newer Apple A13 Bionic chip. The A13
chip powers the top-notch iPhone 11 series. Apple has also offered a Touch
ID fingerprint button and a Retina HD display that sans the earlier 3D Touch
experience and has Haptic Touch support. All this makes the iPhone SE (2020) an
attractive entry-level iPhone. But where does it stand against the highly
popular iPhone XR, at least on paper?

in India and specifications with those of the iPhone XR to help you
