Lots to read here, lots of detail. Two things stand out to me.

First, scroll down and look at the first four images embedded in Gruber’s review. All taken with front facing camera, two on the iPhone 11 Pro, two with the new SE.

Without looking at the identifying text, see if you can pick out which picture was taken with which phone. I would be surprised if your eye can pick out the difference. And, if pressed to pick a favorite, I’d not be surprised if you chose a self portrait taken with the SE.

Secondly:

It’s quite remarkable that the $400 iPhone SE significantly outperforms — and to a lesser but still noticeable degree, out-photographs — the $600 iPhone XR, both of which prices are for 64 GB base models. It’s even more remarkable that you can upgrade all the way to a 256 GB iPhone SE for $550, which is still less than the XR base model. But the XR has one obvious advantage: screen real estate. With the same text size, the XR shows significantly more vertical content.

For that last point, scroll to the bottom and check out the pic of the iPhone XR and SE side-by-side. Clear difference in screen real-estate. But in most every other way, the SE beats out the iPhone XR.

This is a great phone.
