And as you may or may not have heard a new iPhone went on sale today. if the new second-generation iPhone SE it costs $399. So in 2020 a brand new iPhone for 399 now originally. I wasn't going to talk about this until I had it in hand but hey quarantine content right why not talk.

Tech for a little bit and there are just so many interesting conversations to be had because of this phone at this price fun fact I already did talk about it in-depth on the waveform podcast. so if you want the long-form discussion version of this it's the link below you can listen to it anywhere.

 but uh yeah there's a lot to talk about the first of all Apple's having themselves a little hit year with minor refreshes so far. in 2020 right we had the MacBook Air which is a new keyboard and internal speck bump same design and now it's everyone's favorite laptop we got the new iPad Pro which is the same iPad pro with a lidar camera and an ultra-wide and a new GPU core RAM that's just extending their lead as the best tablet and so now we have the new iPhone SE so just so we're all on the same page what is this iPhone SE well if you picture the body of an iPhone 8 literally, like iPhone 8 cases will work with this new SE so imagine an iPhone 8 touch ID fingerprint reader and bezels the whole thing the 4.7-inch retina HD LCD DISPLAY on the front ip67 wireless charging aluminum rails little thing you've seen an iPhone 8 but then on the inside it has new internals so it's speck bump against oh you got the new a 13 Bionic which is the same

chip in a thousand-dollar iPhone 11 Pro and three gigs of ram and some other little things if you're paying attention they moved the Apple logo down to the middle of the back of the phone now to match all the newer iPhones so that's how you be able to tell what's an S II. and what's an iPhone 8 and are dropping it in three colors it is red-black or white and all three colorways will have the black front bezels even the white one so the white iPhone eight had white bezels the white iPhone se has black bezels so that's nice but really it's a pretty simple formula some people have called this a parts bin phone just because Apple's recycling some
things.

we don't talk about this that much but software updates the software updates support for this $399 phone because it's an iPhone and it'll get iOS updates for probably four to five years is probably the best for any $399 phone so there you have it a lot of interesting stuff coming from this iPhone SE announcement you know usually when we're talking about the new tech we're talking about the highest end the bleeding edge of stuff and that's what I like to focus on but I guess the benefit of the world we live in is now that all this stuff is getting so good you can bring down almost the bleeding edge tech way down in price and get stuff like a $399 iPhone that undercuts every single phone one plus
has come out with for the past two years it's crazy time to be alive either way
that's been it thanks for watching this
quick first impression and catch you
guys very soon.
