If you're currently using an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus, Apple has just released a new one smartphone I'm thinking of you This is the new iPhone SE, which we will compare here with the two models introduced in September 2016.
You will see that the iPhone SE (2020) is undoubtedly the most important feature of the iPhone 7, though we have our doubts that it is also designed for the iPhone 7 Plus. In any case, the moment for the iPhone 7 is over and today you have to bet on the new SE.
1. Price and availability
At present, you can only buy an IPhone SE (2020) from the Apple website, since the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have been temporarily discontinued and are not available in Apple's repurposed product stores.

Instead, the new iPhone SE is much cheaper from the start and has a lot of new technology. With a starting price of € 489, it's the cheapest iPhone right now and can be competitively priced even with other Android mobiles.

3. Design and production quality
The iPhone SE is smartphone Apple is ideal for those who don't want to say it's a startup button. Many are celebrating that the company has decided to release a new cell phone with a physical button again.
The new generation of SE is also a perfect choice for those who don't want a much larger device, but it's certainly not as small as the original SE (something that might disappoint more than one).
The new iPhone SE has a 4.7-inch screen, just like the iPhone 7. In fact, it's hard to distinguish between the first two, even though the iPhone 7's smaller is shorter and larger. Obviously, the Plus model is more in size and weight.
- IPhone SE (2020): 138.4 x 67.3 x 7.3mm | 148 g
- IPhone 7: 138.3mm x 67.1 x 7.1mm | 138 g
- IPhone 7 Plus: 158 x 77.9 x 7.3mm | 188 g
Another major physical difference is the colors found in it. The iPhone SE (2020) can be purchased in white, black and red, while the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are made black (gloss or matte), silver, gold, and gold.
We love the models with the metal edges of the iPhone 7, because it gives it more the premium. The colors of the iPhone SE remind us of those iPods and will probably be fashionable again. The red model is part of the PRODUCT (RED) campaign.
Back to the screen, we have already mentioned that the iPhone SE and iPhone 7 have the same 4.7 ”Retina HD panel. Now, 7 does not have True Tone technology that automatically changes color and brightness depending on the environment, and whether it will come later.
Another difference is that the iPhone 7 models use 3D Touch technology, while in the iPhone SE we already get a haptic response. The fact is that in practice there are a few differences and it won't cost you to adapt to the latest technology.
4. Benefits
If we look at the internal structures of both generations, we will also find the difference. The SE processor is three generations new than the 7, and comes with Neural Engine (same as the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max).
In addition, the iPhone SE's entry-level model comes with a double capacity iPhone 7, which also supports faster charging and wireless charging. The new SE is basically a smaller, home button version of the iPhone 11.
With the iPhone 7 Plus, Apple introduced Portrait mode. That is possible with the arrival of a dual rear camera. However, this has not happened with a single lens camera for the iPhone 7. The iPhone SE makes it successful, in this case with software.
In a sense, copy the program used on the iPhone XR. The results are not as good as the iPhone 7 Plus, but clean enough. This should be the case with the new iPhone SE, especially when producing objects and pets.
Decision: iPhone SE (2020) or iPhone 7?
If you want to replace your iPhone 7 with another Apple phone without losing the screen size or the activation button, then the SE SE (2020) is your best option. Instead, we doubt the iPhone 7 Plus exists, because it has a larger screen, 5.5 inches.
Those who want to keep a screen of this size should bet on one of the latest models, even though they all have a larger panel (the smallest is the iPhone 11 Pro 5.8 ”) and use the Sport ID instead of the Sport ID.
In this sense, with the iPhone SE you will be providing a screen view. Instead, you'll be saving more, because the new SE is the cheapest iPhone currently available on Apple's website.
