3. Design and production quality
The iPhone 6 was the first smartphone Apple had a 4.7-inch screen, something that would be repeated over three generations. He has also left the most compact and ancient design of the iPhone 5 and 5 and opted for an aluminum body with curved edges.
After many rumors, it was confirmed that the new iPhone SE is rediscovering the design we last saw in it IPhone 8. The 2020 model does not include the design introduced with the iPhone X, but is the same size as the iPhone 6, 6s, 7 and 8.
The second-generation iPhone SE, of course, also lacks the original model's design. Dimensions are very close to those of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s. We see that there are very few differences (they have been increasing in size and weight):
- IPhone SE (2020): 138.4 x 67.3 x 7.3mm | 148 g
- IPhone 6s: 138.3 x 67.1 x 7.1mm | 143 g
- IPhone 6: 138.1mm x 67 x 6.9mm | 129 g
The new iPhone SE is slightly wet because its rear is glass, not aluminum, and that allows for wireless charging. Another difference is that it does not have a port jack headphones and home button made with iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s.
The second-generation touch ID sensor is present in both the iPhone SE and iPhone 6s, while the iPhone 6 has been released with the first. On the other hand, only the iPhone SE can be waterproof (IP67), since the other two are not compatible.
If you are considering installing your iPhone 6 or 6s with the new iPhone SE, you should know that you have to say exactly the color of it. The new SE is not available in silver, space gray, gold or rose gold, but is available in white, black and red (PRODUCT) RED).
4. Benefits
So far, we've seen that the iPhone SE has a lot of similarities to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s in terms of their appearance (the difference is very small). Next, we will see what enhancements were introduced by the new SE 2020.
Processor
Of course the most impressive feature of the SE table (2020) is its processor. Including the A13 Bionic, which we also get from IPhone 11 and IPhone 11 Pro. That should ensure performance comparable to that of the original SE.
Such a powerful processor can get even more power by having a smaller screen and lower resolution than the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro. This was also the case with SE (2016), which used a 6s processor in the body of the iPhone 5s.
A few years ago, Apple released the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s, meaning their processors are as powerful as the 2020 SE. In their day, they were very powerful, but the technology has improved and they are no longer at the height.
Storage
Storage capacity has improved with the iPhone SE as it is available in 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. The 6s and 6s can be purchased at 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB, which may not be enough for those with lots of photos and videos.
Show
At first glance, it would not surprise you considering that all three devices have the same screen. In fact, in several respects that is true: it is a Retina HD panel, with a resolution of 1334 x 750, 326 dpi and a standard resolution of 1400: 1.
How could it have been otherwise (6 years after the launch of the iPhone 6), the new SE has introduced other enhancements, such as high light 625 nits (not 500), True Tone technology and a wider gamut wide (P3).
Cameras
There are no three devices with multiple lens cameras. They all have one camera on the back and a SpaceTime HD camera on the front. After all, the iPhone SE (2020) cameras are the best.
The iPhone 6 has an 8 MP (f / 2.2) lens with Flash True Tone, HDR for photos, and up to 5x digital zoom. IPhone 6s have the same resolution, except that the lens is 12 MP (f / 2.2).
The iPhone SE also has a 12 MP rear lens, but this time it has a wide aperture (f / 1.8) and image stabilization, Flash True Tone with slower synchronization, next-gen Smart HDR, next-generation Smart HDR, and -Portrait Mode.
You wouldn't be surprised if the iPhone SE video recording quality is also high, with high 4K quality at 60 fps. IPhone 6s only achieve this at 30fps, while the iPhone 6 can record only 1080p at 60fps.
If you look at the front camera, the iPhone 6s take some of the loneliness from the previous generation (from 1,2 MP to 5 MP), but it lags behind the powerful MP sensor with Portrait Mode and much more than the iPhone. SE (2020).
Communication
Communication offers also get better over time. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s share the same specifications, except for LTE Advanced and Wi-Fi 5 802.11ac with MIMO introduced by Apple in September 2015.
In 2020, Apple introduces the iPhone SE with Gigabit-class LTE, WiFi 6 802.11ax with MIMOYA, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC in read mode. That said, it's a new connection smartphone They should be faster and more reliable than iPhone 6s and 6s.
5. Software
Unlike Android, Smartphones Apple supports the latest version of the app years ago. Now, the iPhone 6 no longer works with iOS 13 and it all shows that the iPhone 6s won't be compatible with it either. IOS 14.
That means, if you put more value into having the latest benefits software, iPhone SE (2020) is the best option. With the latest generation processor, it should be upgraded over the next four to five years.
Decision: iPhone SE (2020) or iPhone 6 / 6s?
If you didn't mind having a small screen, the original iPhone SE was much better than the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s. No wonder its second generation outperforms them in every way.
On the other hand, the powerful A13 Bionic processor is similar to the iPhone SE (2020) and iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, while improvements to the camera (thanks to the chip) make the new SEperform the iPhone 8.
Although you can get the iPhone 6 and 6 at a cheaper price, there is no doubt that the iPhone SE (2020) has a better value for money. In addition, it is ideal for those who are not ready to say it well in the first column.
