Apple is the synonym for premium products. But in recent years, it has released a few low-to-mid-range products. The iPhone SE small-size smartphone is one of them. Honestly, this model doesn’t perform as well as the high-end models. But the company still continues launching new generations of this series. Just recently, the Cupertino-based company launched the new iPhone SE3. Many Apple fans have been waiting for it eagerly. But a phone that was the talk of the town turned back into Cinderella over a night. The only significant improvement in comparison to the previous model is the chip. Everything else remains unchanged.
Though Apple didn’t make many enhancements, the price is higher. The iPhone SE3 costs $429. So how reasonable is it to get your hands on a mid-range iPhone, if you can acquire the iPhone 11 for almost the same amount of money?
(We have already published an article and explained why you don’t have to buy this phone. So in this article, we will focus more on buying the iPhone 11 instead of the iPhone SE3.)
