iPhone SE
This is the phone to get if you just want a new iPhone that will last you a few years, but don’t want to pay a lot for it. This the main spotlight of the device. A13 Bionic is the same chip that also powers the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. If we compare it in terms of raw CPU performance, the iPhone SE 2020 is about 2.4 times faster than the original iPhone SE and 1.4 times faster than the iPhone 8. This makes the device perform like a beast.

In reality that just translates to a solid experience when flipping in and out of apps - although we did note that the speed in firing up the camera was a little slow, and processing pictures took longer than expected for a modern phone. In every other way, this is a massively impressive phone it packs good spec and manages to do so for a lower cost than many would expect - this is the one to go for if you want a good value new iPhone.

The iPhone XR is one of the best handsets Apple has ever made, and that's mainly down to the excellent battery life.
The rest of the phone doesn't really add much to the iPhone family in terms of pure specification or novelty, but it does offer a more budget route into getting a handset.
The portrait mode on the camera becoming more software than hardware is something that needs to be thought about long and hard – if you’re just after a decent enough snapper in the iPhone world, this handset will do that for you, but you can get something much more effective on the iPhone 12 and 11 ranges.
The iPhone XR sits in a slightly awkward middle ground in Apple's line-up. The iPhone SE starts at $399, which is $100 cheaper than the iPhone XR and gives you an even more modern processor, a screen and camera of equivalent quality, and the same premium fit and finish.
The iPhone SE has a much smaller screen than the XR and uses fingerprint ID instead of face recognition, but some people may actually prefer those changes. The SE also gives you less battery life
The iPhone 11 is $100 more than the XR and gives you a dual-lens camera with newer image processing and Night Mode, plus a little extra battery life and the latest-generation Apple chip running it.
We think most people will probably look to save themselves a big chunk of money or will step up to the latest model that gives you a more desirable camera since that's one of the most important features for lots of us.
But the iPhone XR still serves a great purpose. If you want an iPhone that has a big screen and generous battery life, don't mind so much about its camera (which is still very good!), and want to spend mid-range prices only, then it's ideal.
If it feels like it would fit the bill for you, we do recommend it – we just think it's worth looking both up and down Apple's range to make sure the other options wouldn't make you a little happier, either in price or features.
