To get or not to get?

If a design that harks back to the iPhone 8 time is a dealbreaker for you, then look past the 2020 Apple iPhone SE. But if you want an “affordable” iPhone that has the power of the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, courtesy of the A13 Bionic chip, then look no further than this year’s SE.

In prepaid, the device is priced at P26,490 (around $522), P30,490 ($601), and P36,490 ($720) for the 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB models, respectively. You have three colors to choose from: white, black, and red.
