Last week, Apple surprised everyone in the tech industry by launching a $399 iPhone SE 2020 ( 2nd Gen ). Apple is never known for launching phones for affordable prices, so the $399 price tag for a brand new iPhone came as a shocker to many.
However, in India, the price of this new iPhone is much higher. According to Apple's ad, the official MRP price for the base model iPhone SE 2 in India is Rs 42,500. If you convert that to US dollars, it is approx $555 for the base model with 64GB storage. That can't be considered a budget iPhone.
This is mainly due to the import tax duties and GST taxes Apple has to pay when bringing these new phones to India. Google had to sell its $399 Pixel 3a for a similar price range a while back as well.
The SE is, in reality, an iPhone 8 with some internal changes. The main highlight of this phone is that it is powered by Apple's high-end chipset - A13 Bionic. The expensive iPhone 11 Pro Max which is priced above 1 Lakh in India has the same exact chipset.
Even though SE has the same camera system as the older 8, it can take much better photos thanks to the A13 Bionic processor on board. Apple is bringing computational photography magic to the new SE, which allowed iPhone 11 series to take fantastic photos in the day time as well as during night time.
