Although the looks of both iPhone SE models are very similar, they are not the same as each other. Essentially, the 2nd generation of iPhone SE’s has a more updated level of specification, meaning that it essentially works more quickly and efficiently in comparison to its 2020 counterpart.

Although it is convenient to go for the older model as it will cost less money, you should consider that the hardware may struggle to support the later software that modern Apple products use. This is mainly due to taking up memory for the updating the software. So, is there a possibility to get a newer phone for a cheaper price? Yes. There is, the answer is a refurbished phone.
What is a refurbished phone?
Refurbished phones are often the most economical way of getting a high-quality phone for a low price and still having excellent functionality. But it’s important to distinguish between old, used, second-hand and refurbished phones before you make a purchase.
So what’s the difference? Most second-hand phones have been repaired aesthetically but not necessarily functionally, so even though there may not be scratches on the back or cracks on the screen, you don’t know that the phone is working well.
On the contrary, refurbished phones have been repaired by professionals so that the inner workings of the phone have been repaired as well as the outside. That makes refurbished phones slightly more expensive than used or second-hand phones, but it’s worth it to know that the phone is working well and won’t need any urgent repairs, or professional phone unlocking
Where can I find a refurbished phone?
Refurbished phones are also usually more modern, so you don’t have to compromise on the capabilities of your phone; you can simply look up the newest model of the phone you’re looking for and search for a refurbished one either online or in a phone shop. You’re sure to be shocked by the price difference!
Can I repair my phone at home?
Yes. The benefit of fixing your phone yourself is that it’s often much cheaper than sending it away or taking it to a phone repair shop to be fixed. You can find phone screen repair kits and more. Although this will, of course, take some time to arrive at your house.
So if your aim is to save time and access important information on your phone quickly, a long delivery time will render a DIY phone repair largely pointless. We must also recommend that if you have never repaired a phone screen before, or have no experience, then don’t compromise your treasured files on your phone, it is entirely worth getting a professional repair for your screen.
