Design And Display

iPhone SE: iPhone SE has a 4.7-inches Retina HD display which feels quite handy, compact, and comfortable. But the main issue is its design it has the same design as the iPhone 8 or even the iPhone 6. It has huge bezels both at the top and bottom of the phone which effects the viewing experience.

It ships with the same 5W charger in the box.
