Comparison: 2020 iPhone SE vs iPhone 8 vs iPhone 11 Pro

Apple announced the 2020 iPhone SE, and, with it, discontinued the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. So, let’s compare Apple’s newest iPhone with the older model, and let’s toss in the iPhone 11 Pro in there for good measure.

The new iPhone SE effectively replaces the iPhone 8 in Apple’s lineup, which means we should check out how the two models compare. Is it worth the upgrade? Apple would like to make a case for it, but maybe the specs don’t do the same for iPhone 8 owners. And in addition to that, the iPhone 11 Pro is the start of Apple’s current flagship model, which definitely earns a spot in the comparison.

So let’s break it down, shall we?
