IPhone SE (2nd generation)

The 2nd-generation iPhone SE (Special Edition), sometimes referred as the iPhone SE 2020 or iPhone SE 2, is an entry-level smartphone designed by Apple Inc. The smartphone was announced on April 15, 2020 through a press release, the only iPhone model to date to be announced in such a manner, and became available to the public on the following April 24th. It was discontinued on March 8, 2022 with the introduction of the faster 3rd-generation iPhone SE

Features
The iPhone SE was available in black, white, and at a base price of 399. All color variants have a black front and feature a similar external design of the iPhone 8 featuring a 4.7-inch Retina HD display but powered by the Apple A13 Bionic processor used in the iPhone 11 series. The 12-megapixel camera supported portrait mode and was advertised as the "best single-camera system in an iPhone".

History
This model replaced the 1st generation iPhone SE, which had been introduced in 2016. After first version's discontinuation in 2018, a so-called iPhone 9 had been expected as a replacement, especially after the its specs were leaked from developer builds of iOS 14. This model would later become known as the 2nd-generation iPhone SE.

On the early morning of April 17, 2020, Apple's retail store closure page due to the COVID-19 pandemic was briefly redirected to the pre-order page of the new iPhone SE. However, this was quickly reverted after the pre-orders became active after 5AM PDT.

Trivia

 * The white 2nd generation iPhone SE is the first iPhone with a home button to have a white back and black front since the white iPhone 5c.
 * The Apple logo on the back is centered like in the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro, with the elimination of the 'iPhone' text.
