The iPhone SE 2020 could see a massive price drop more akin to the original iPhone SE before it was discontinued. While the world prepares for the 5G iPhone SE 3, rumours now suggest that Apple could continue to sell the older iPhone SE 2020 at an even lower price. How low, you ask? Prices are expected to go under $200, which means markets like India could expect to see a brand-new iPhone in India for less than Rs. 20,000 after a long time. And this is all while the iPhone SE 3 takes care of the sub- ₹40,000 space.

Apple will announce the iPhone SE 3 as its most affordable 5G smartphone and drop the prices of the iPhone SE 4G variant at the same time. The sole reason behind this is Apple wanting to make the iPhone more accessible so as to rope in more customers to try its other services.

Originally launched at a starting price of Rs. 43,000, several e-commerce sales over the years have seen the iPhone SE prices go as low as ₹26,000. At the moment, the base 64GB variant of the iPhone SE is selling at Rs. 30,000.

Even though the iPhone SE 2020 lacks some of the modern features, such as an edge-to-edge display, a big battery and fast charging, it is still one of the fastest smartphones you can buy at its price.
