The price can also be reduced if you submit your old iPhone as a deposit. The amount of the discount depends on the model and its storage capacity - Details on this page.

Buy iPhone SE 2 – Possible from next week
The “iPhone SE 2”, as it has been called repeatedly over the past few months and years, can be pre-ordered from this Friday on the Apple website (see above). It will go on sale next Friday, on April 24.04.2020th, XNUMX. Certainly there will then also be offers from mobile network providers who sell the new iPhone SE with tariff. But here you should compare whether tariff + payment of the smartphone is cheaper - or maybe the installment payment at Apple and the booking of the tariff independent of it. So before you order, you should do a bit of math back and forth.
iPhone SE (2020) camera photos
Here are a few photos taken with the iPhone SE (2020). You can see that their quality is in no way inferior to the "big" iPhones. Of course, Apple's new budget smartphone doesn't offer a lens selection and only offers a solo camera on the front and back. Nevertheless, really good photos are possible:

In his spare time he rides electric unicycles, takes photos (preferably with the iPhone, of course), climbs around in the Hessian mountains or hikes with the family. His articles deal with Apple products, news from the world of drones or solutions to current bugs.
Hi Jens,
I'm a little disappointed with the SE 2. I was hoping it will be a 4-inch iPhone with the technology of the 11 Pro. Well, the A13 is inside and it takes pretty good photos, but otherwise it's a pimped iPhone 8. Since I've got used to the size of the Xs, I'm waiting for the iPhone 12. I just ordered the Airpods Pro as the latest Easter present. I'm looking forward to it, as they did very well in the various tests.
Hope you and your family are healthy and coping well with the Corona restrictions. Stay healthy !
Greetings from sunny Munich

PS
Best beer garden weather and you are not allowed to go there.
Hello Horst! To be honest, I wouldn't have expected the fast processor from the SE 2. With an inexpensive phone, they somehow compete with themselves if they had built in more new technology. The AirPods Pro are definitely great. Finally ANC headphones that you can always have with you and that are also easy to use. I love those things! Stay healthy and I'll keep my fingers crossed that the beer gardens will soon be open for you again. : D
Hi Jens,
I'm glad you and your family are healthy. As long as the beer gardens are closed, I'll use my balcony as a mini beer garden. I'm looking forward to the Airpods Pro. Will be on 28.04. delivered. Then report back about my impressions.
Have a nice weekend.
I'm really looking forward to your verdict! I wish you a nice weekend too and I hope to be able to report on the AirPods Pro soon. Unfortunately, there is so much on the heap here... such a move is totally impractical. ;-)
