- These are the new iPhone SE features you should know about
Today Apple announced the second-generation iPhone SE. The original iPhone SE was released about four years ago so this was a long time coming.
“The first iPhone SE was a hit with many customers who loved its unique combination of small size, high-end performance, and affordable price; the new second-generation iPhone SE builds on that great idea and improves on it in every way — including our best-ever single-camera system for great photos and videos — while still being very affordable,” said Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “iPhone SE features the industry-leading performance of A13 Bionic that enables great battery life, takes stunning Portrait mode and Smart HDR photos, shoots amazing videos with stereo audio, is great for games and super fast web surfing, and is built with the same industry-leading security features our customers expect. We can’t wait to get iPhone SE into customers’ hands.”
Here is a list of the new iPhone SE features:

The new iPhone SE has the Touch ID fingerprint sensor designed with sapphire crystal and a steel ring to detect a user’s fingerprint. Touch ID makes it easier to unlock the iPhone, fill in passwords with iCloud Keychain, log into apps, and authorize purchases.

Aerospace-grade aluminum and durable glass design with an all-black front. And the rear glass finish includes a centered Apple logo and is made using a seven-layer color process for precise hue and opacity.

In terms of video, it supports high-quality video capture at 4K up to 60fps and extended dynamic range for more highlight details up to 30fps. There is also the QuickTake video feature on the front and rear cameras so it enables video recording without switching out of Photo mode.
