• The iPhone SE for 2020 couldn't be more different from Apple's current high-end flagships, the iPhone 11 Pro series.
• Just about everything about these two iPhones is different, save for one key feature: the A13 Bionic mobile processor. It means the $400 iPhone SE runs the iOS operating system and your apps just as well as the $1,000 iPhone 11 Pro.
• With that said, the iPhone SE's small screen, classic design, and single-lens camera isn't for everyone. And, the iPhone 11 Pro series isn't necessarily the best alternative. The $700 iPhone 11 is the perfect "in-the-middle" option, even if it is still quite pricey.

Apple recently released the iPhone SE — just about the very opposite of the company's top flagship iPhone 11 Pro series.

Among several differences, the iPhone SE's design is on the older side, it has a small screen, there's no Face ID, it has just a single camera, and it's $600 cheaper than the base iPhone 11 Pro.

Almost everything is different, save for one important thing: the A13 Bionic mobile chip that runs the iOS operating system, as well as your apps. That's a pretty huge deal, especially considering the iPhone SE's price tag. Still, just because the iPhone SE poses immense value doesn't mean it's for everyone.
