The second generation of the iPhone SE was initially launched in 2020, but it still manages to keep up with the needs of many phone users today. It utilizes the body of the Apple iPhone 8, which means it will have a home button and fingerprint ID instead of the Face ID technology in current iPhone models. That’s not much to give up, however, as the second generation iPhone SE still has a great display, a 12-megapixel camera with the ability to shoot 4K video, and wireless charging capability.

It also has a 12-megapixel camera with Smart HDR 4 and Portrait Mode, which makes it a pretty significant upgrade over the 2020 iPhone SE.

The Light Flip brings back the flip phone, minus the distractions
The company's first flip phone features a T9 keypad, 5G, USB-C, and LightOS instead of addictive apps.
Light Flip Phone Featured

Flip phones are having a bit of a comeback. But most modern versions either feel cheaply made or swap one set of distractions for another. That's exactly what Light says it wants to change with the Light Flip -- its first-ever flip phone and the fourth phone the company has released in the past decade. Staying true to the philosophy behind previous Light Phones, the new device combines a classic clamshell design with a minimalist software experience that helps users stay connected without constantly competing for their attention.

Apple could be exploring the size without putting it anywhere near a production line.
