A couple of months ago, in April this year, Apple finally announced the much-awaited iPhone SE 2020 smartphone for $399. It comes with flagship-grade internals but a design similar to the Apple iPhone 8 and is targeted towards first-time iPhone buyers.
Now, a report from China’s Taiwan Economic Daily reported that the iPhone SE 2020 has shipped around 12 million to 14 million in the second quarter of this year. This is quite an impressive number, given that the phone was launched during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The iPhone SE 2020 is the lowest priced smartphone from Apple so far and it seems that the company will continue making lower-priced iPhones. As per the report, the company is now planning another affordable iPhone model, priced under $300. That smartphone is said to get launched next year.
The report claims that Apple is working on an affordable smartphone priced between $200-300 but it’s not yet confirmed if it will be a part of the iPhone SE series. But, the report says that the phone will still be powered by the Apple A13 chipset.

The current-generation iPhone SE features a 4.7-inch Retina HD display and supports Dolby Vision and HDR10 playback. There’s also Haptic Touch for Quick Actions. Under the hood, it is powered by the Apple A13 chipset and comes in 64/128/256 GB storage options.
In the camera department, there’s a 12MP f/1.8 camera which Apple says is the best single-camera system ever in an iPhone. It can also take portrait photos with the 7MP selfie camera and the phone can also record 4K videos at 60fps.
Apple has not officially revealed the battery capacity of the smartphone but has confirmed that the iPhone SE 2020 comes with support for 18W fast charging technology as well as wireless charging support.
