Apple has yet to upload the new iPhone SE ad to its official YouTube channel.
The second-generation iPhone SE has a similar design as the iPhone 8, including a 4.7-inch display and a Touch ID home button, but it has a faster A13 Bionic chip. Other features of the device include a single-lens 12-megapixel Wide rear camera with Portrait mode support, wireless charging, IP67-rated water resistance, and Wi-Fi 6.
The new iPhone SE became available to pre-order today in Black, White, or (RED), with pricing starting at $399 for 64GB of storage.
