SMALL, CHEAP iOS FOR ALL

APPLE iPHONE SE $549, apple.com/au

Although a successor is almost certainly on the way, Apple’s original SE, which dates back to 2016, is the only budget iPhone right now. Stuffing the internals of an iPhone 6S into the compact case of an iPhone 5S, it’s an old-school look and a tiny phone – though some will be pleased they can still get one this size. Some tech, like cameras, are a little behind the others here, but strong nevertheless. iOS is slick, and the battery has some serious staying power. Note, though, that opting for the cheapest 16GB model would be madness.
