Apple launches smaller, cheaper iPhone

Apple has launched a cheaper version of its iPhone SE as it attempts to continue normal business despite the coronavirus pandemic. The second-generation SE resembles Apple's previous design used for its smartphones between 2014 and 2017, complete with the traditional touch ID home button instead of face recognition. It costs from £419 in the UK and $399 in the US. The new phone is a follow-up to the entry-level SE from 2016, which reused the design of the iPhone 5S. The new SE replaces 2017's iPhone 8, which was until recently the cheapest iPhone on sale, costing £479 in the UK and $449 in the US. The second-generation SE has a 4.7in retina HD LCD screen, making it one of the few smaller smartphones available.
