Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, Phil Schiller said, “The first iPhone SE was a hit with many customers who loved its unique combination of small size, high-end performance and affordable price; the new second-generation iPhone SE builds on that great idea and improves on it in every way — including our best-ever single-camera system for great photos and videos — while still being very affordable. “iPhone SE features the industry-leading performance of A13 Bionic that enables great battery life, takes stunning Portrait mode and Smart HDR photos, shoots amazing videos with stereo audio, is great for games and super fast web surfing, and is built with the same industry-leading security features our customers expect. We can’t wait to get iPhone SE into customers’ hands.”
With the A13 Bionic chip & advance camera system, start using portrait mode on your iPhone SE. The feature will blur everything but the subject in the picture, even though it’s about taking selfies.
The best feature is that the blurring effect can be customized by you as you want, just with the help of a slider.

Expert Opinion on iPhone SE
Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion & that’s where IT expertise comes in to help us understand better about the newly launched device.
The founder of Analytics Research Consulting (Technology), Faisal Kawoosa has gone through the device features, pricing, & additional functionalities and he says, “The segment Apple caters will supposedly have more capacity to bear the stress that is likely to happen due to macro-economic challenges. But, still there will be some segment which will look for cheaper alternatives curtailing their budgets.”
In a way, Faisal questioned the pricing factor of iPhone SE saying that the pricing loses out to competition and is too expensive.
Wrapping Up
Labeled as the most budget friendly mobile device from Apple, iPhone SE is finally yours to grab only at $399 (US). But, is that the budget friendly figure you had in mind? I assume not. Because $399 for an iPhone is definitely not budget friendly! However, considering the features it comes up with, many users would be quite okay with the price.
