The document summarizes and compares features of the iPhone SE 2020, iPhone XR, and another unnamed smartphone. It notes that the iPhone SE 2020 has the powerful A13 Bionic chip at a good price point in India compared to competition. Though small, it is only slightly heavier than the iPhone 7. However, the document argues that the iPhone XR may be a better choice due its modern design with larger screen, better battery life, and price that is often under 50,000 Rs. It also discusses the XR having the A12 Bionic chip which could face slowdowns after a few years of software updates.
3. The A13 Bionic is an incredibly
powerful chip, and it's a good deal if
you're getting that at Rs. 42,500
onwards. This iPhone SE reminds me
of last year's iPad mini, which had
launched with a really powerful
processor at around Rs. 35,000.
Some of you have been complaining
that the iPhone SE (2020) is too
expensive in India when compared
with its US price. While that's fair, I
think the SE's price in India is great
when you look at the competition.
4. Finally, at 148 grams, the iPhone SE (2020) is the lightest of the three smartphones we're talking
about today. It's only 10 grams heavier than my iPhone 7 29,499 so the transition should be
seamless. But is that really a good thing?
5. Even though there's a lot to like about the iPhone SE, I can't live with those three cons. That's why let's
look at my second choice the iPhone XR. There are three things going for the XR modern design,
battery life, and price. I don't need to elaborate too much about the design. It has a big screen with a
notch, and I like this a lot because I don't have to scroll as much while reading and I'll finally be able to
enjoy watching movies on a phone. The battery lasts a lot longer than most other iPhones, so that's a
major plus. Finally the XR has often been available under Rs. 50,000 for the 128GB variant that I'm
eyeing, which is great too. If you're planning to buy an iPhone soon, the SE and XR are in the same
price bracket and that makes the difference in design and battery life very important factors. You can

Having said that, the XR has a slightly older chip the A12 Bionic and even though I don't expect
any performance issues anytime in the near future, I worry about potential slowdowns after two or
three major OS updates. That's where our third and the strongest contender walks in.
