I Recommend this iPhone! - iPhone SE (2020)

In this unboxing and first-impressions video, the host introduces the iPhone SE (2020) with a playful nickname and highlights its price point of 400 USD. He notes that the device borrows a lot from the iPhone 8, including the design, display assembly, and some internals, while upgrading core performance with 3GB of RAM and the A13 Bionic chip. The host discusses practical tradeoffs, such as the removal of Touch ID in favor of a home button with haptic feedback, the lack of 4K video on the front camera, and the tentative compatibility of the iPhone SE’s camera module with newer software features. He also points out that the battery is 1800 mAh and not interchangeable due to a new connector, which becomes a notable caveat for potential buyers. Throughout, the video weighs the SE’s value proposition against more feature-rich models like the iPhone 11, emphasizing that the SE could be a killer value for those who don’t require the latest-era smartphone features and are comfortable with a compact, Apple-ecosystem device. The presenter also calls out HDR support as present but limited by brightness, and confirms the device offers wireless charging and IP67 water resistance, features that align with expectations from the iPhone 8 lineage. In closing, the host reinforces the SE as a practical, affordable option for first-time iPhone buyers or as a secondary device, while acknowledging caveats such as battery capacity and the absence of certain modern camera capabilities, inviting viewers to share their opinions in the comments and suggesting the possibility of future updates from Apple. The video finishes with a light tease toward a future Android-like concept and a call to action to subscribe for more unboxing content.
