Apple announcedthe 2020iPhone SE, and, with it, discontinued theiPhone 8and iPhone 8 Plus. So, let’s compare Apple’s newest iPhone with the older model, and let’s toss in theiPhone 11 Proin there for good measure.
The new iPhone SE effectively replaces the iPhone 8 in Apple’s lineup, which means we should check out how the two models compare. Is it worth the upgrade? Apple would like to make a case for it, but maybe the specs don’t do the same for iPhone 8 owners. And in addition to that, the iPhone 11 Pro is the start of Apple’s current flagship model, which definitely earns a spot in the comparison.
So let’s break it down, shall we?

The new iPhone SE shares a lot of similarities with the original iPhone 8, that’s for sure. But the changes that Apple has made, including the upgraded camera system and the A13 Bionic processor, might make it worthwhile. Compare that to the iPhone 11 Pro, though, and it might be worth opting for the more expensive model depending on what you’re looking for.
Are you planning on picking up the new iPhone SE?
