Recently, on April 24. Apple launched its new iPhone SE (2nd Generation) with a price tag of 3299 Yuan (equal to 465 USD). It is the cheapest Apple phone available on the market right now, but it is still not as cheap as it should be.
Recently, a local cybersurfer uploaded a simple teardown video of the iPhone SE 2020. In that teardown video, the iPhone SE 2020 was compared with the iPhone 8. Overall, Apple didn’t let everyone down because the new phone is a derivative version of the iPhone 8.
After the teardown, it was observed that the majority of components of the iPhone SE 2020 are identical to the iPhone 8 components. However, some things like the modem, WiFi chip, battery interface, and flashlight settings are still different from the iPhone 8. In addition, the camera module and processor (Apple A13 Bionic chip) are the same as the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, which are also Apple’s latest flagships.
From the overall configuration, the new iPhone SE seems to outperform the iPhone 8 in almost every way. However, according to the news on Weibo, the cost of the iPhone SE 2020 is 18% lower than that of the iPhone 8, about 217 US dollars (equivalent to 1539 yuan), which is also the reason why the price is close to the people.
It can be seen that the new iPhone SE 2020 (64GB Variant) costs only $217, including parts, which is still 18% lower than the iPhone 8. If compared with the iPhone 8 (value 38%) and the new iPhone 11 (cost 48%), buying a new iPhone SE 2020 is quite cost-effective for consumers.
