Apple's new iPhone SE is $300 or 22874 rupees cheaper than the baseline iPhone 11. Here's exactly what you get by spending almost double.
As the sequel to Apple's 2016 sleeper-hit iPhone of the same name, the new iPhone SE starts at $399, £419 or AU$749. With that price tag, the phone aims to court budget-minded users who may not be able to splurge on $1,000 handsets like the iPhone 11 Pro or Galaxy S20. While that does mean some cuts in hardware (the phone has a smaller 4.7-inch display and a single rear camera, for example) the iPhone SE does include some modern fixings, such as the same A13 processor as the iPhone 11 phones.
With a four-year gap between the new iPhone SE and the older one, Apple brought many upgrades. That includes wireless charging, better camera specs and water resistance. (Unfortunately, for wired headphone users, the new iPhone SE doesn't have a headphone jack.) If you're looking for a new iPhone but want to save as much money as possible, the iPhone SE is your best bet -- you'll save $300 outright compared to the price of the iPhone 11 (which costs $699, £729 or AU$1,199)
The iPhone 11 costs $300 more than the iPhone SE. Despite having many of the same internal specs, however, its main advantages are twofold: It has a bigger screen (6.1 inches versus 4.7, measured diagonally) and it packs better camera specs all around (a second wide-angle lens and a better selfie camera, for starters). If both are big priorities for you, get the iPhone 11.
Size and design: iPhone SE is small and compact
The most obvious difference between the two phones is that the iPhone 11 is larger. The iPhone 11 has a 6.1-inch screen while the iPhone SE has a 4.7-inch display. While you get more screen real estate for your apps and watching videos with the former, the iPhone SE will draw users for its comfortable portability and compact grip.
Both iPhones have LCD displays, but the iPhone 11 has a "Liquid Retina HD display" while the iPhone SE has "Retina HD." These are branding terms that Apple uses to differentiate its display technology; all you have to know, though, is that the iPhone 11's screen is sharper, although they both have the same number of pixels-per-inch or pixel density.
Some users will also like the iPhone SE's home button. Now that Apple is discontinuing the iPhone 8, the iPhone SE will be the only iPhone Apple will sell with a physical home button. In addition to being intuitive to use, it also means you don't have to use swipe gestures to return to the home screen or call up recent apps. The home button will also house the device's fingerprint reader for unlocking the phone and authorizing digital payments (what Apple calls Touch ID). The iPhone 11, however, uses facial mapping sensors on the front-facing camera for biometric security (aka Face ID).
Quantity-driven China beats India in the technology knowhow race China is nipping at the heels of the US, the world leader in science and technology. It has already caught up in quantity, though it is still some way behind in quality. If you had compared India and China in the late 1980s, there would not have been much difference in their science and technology capabilities. In the early 1990s, China had started moving ahead, but the two countries were not too far apart in their preparations for the 21st century industries. But in the 1990s, China invested heavily in education and research and started moving ahead very quickly. It has continued this thrust ever since. Now the two are poles apart in science and technology infrastructure. China is nipping at the heels of the US, the world leader in science and technology. It has already caught up in quantity, though it is still some way behind in quality. India and China have brought differe...
