Apple iPhone 13 Pro vs Apple iPhone SE (2020)
Our Verdict: There's a couple of generations between the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone SE (2020), so the iPhone SE (2020) is ahead on most things. Only the 13 Pro is a 5G phone; the SE (2020) maxes out at 4G, and the 13 Pro packs the bigger battery, 3095mAh against 1821mAh, which usually means longer between charges. The 13 Pro has the stronger screen, bigger at 6.1" against 4.7" and sharper at 457 PPI, and the 13 Pro offers up to 1TB of storage versus 256GB on the SE (2020). If you're on the 13 Pro, the SE (2020) is a real step up, but only worth it if the changes above matter to you.
If you'd rather pay up front, the SE (2020) is the cheaper buy at £63 SIM-free.
