Today saw the official start of sales of the first new iPhone of the year, the model IF (2020). A lot has been written about it since its introduction, the first reviews on foreign portals were also published a few days ago. We received a 128 GB model in a color variant (PRODUCT) RED, which we will now briefly look at as part of the first impressions. Reviews there will be news to follow in the next few days when we thoroughly test the new product, so definitely keep following the Jablíčkář magazine so you don't miss the review.

Packing

The packaging of the iPhone SE will not surprise anyone, as it is actually very different from the days of the iPhone 8 (and 7, 6S, 6) didn't change – that is, with the exception of one or two years included audio reduction Lightning - 3,5mm. If you buy the RED edition of the new iPhone, the logo, as well as the inscription on the box, will be displayed in glossy red. It's inside everything as before, perhaps only except for the red one RED label, on which is written a thank you and an explanation of what these editions are actually for. Specifically, the proceeds obtained from sales of RED editions go to support programs that fight AIDS (in America against the proceeds go to support programs that fight against the disease COVID-19).

Accessories

Since the iPhone SE (2020) is not none flagship, so of course there is nothing in its packaging special. By "special", in the case of Apple, we mean the 18W fast charging adapter. So there is a classic in the package 5W charger, EarPods with Lightning connector a USB-A/Lightning charging cable. One change but it took place in accessories, however minor it may seem. Tool to eject the SIM frame, which already had a nice and flat design since the iPhone 4, had relatively sharp edges and was also very strong thanks to the material used (which Apple called "liquid metal"), this year's model received variations. As you can see in the photos, instead of a solid piece of metal, there is something in the package that resembles it bent wire not very good quality. The fact that it is really just a bent piece of wire makes it easy to use flexes in hand and works very cheaply. The laser-printed lettering doesn't help either TAIWAN. It's actually a total rip-off, but someone used to iPhones will notice the change immediately.

Processing

The processing of the phone is nothing to complain about. Glass back, aluminum frame, black front – in terms of design, the iPhone SE looks great, especially in red color (which, according to the opinions of many apple fans, was spoiled by the white ancestor of the last RED iPhones). iPhone SE thanks to its size it holds very well and surprisingly does not slip in hand. Otherwise, it has everything we know very well from previous iPhones with Touch ID.

First impressions

The overall impressions are positive, but (as will be heard in the review) a comprehensive evaluation will depend a lot on which phone you are switching from to the iPhone SE. If it is the original iPhone SE, the most noticeable difference is of course in size phone. In this case, you will also feel the change in the feeling holding in hand (sharp vs. rounded edges). It's impossible not to notice either hardware changes, which of course also manifests itself in software - it's all about knowledge more nimble. If you're moving from one of the models that the new SE is based on (i.e. 6, 6S, 7 or 8), there will be differences understandably less (Touch ID design, absence of 3,5 mm connector). This is perhaps a good thing, because the new iPhone SE will be largely aimed at those customers who are still familiar with the older form of iPhones they don't want to say goodbye. We will leave the evaluation of the sub-elements of the news to the review, "goodbye" however, the new iPhone SE feels like a very solid and visually pleasing smartphone.
