Apple just introduced the mighty hyped iPhone SE that packs the A13 Bionic chip, the same chip powering the iPhone 11 Pro. While the size and form factor of the handset is pretty familiar, Apple made sure that it remains the only one of its kind. That's right, with the release of the iPhone SE, Apple has discontinued the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.

The iPhone SE takes place of the iPhone 8 as the 4.7-inch device with nearly identical design. You can still see the bezels on the top and bottom of the device and also features a Home button with Touch ID. What this means is that the company is keeping Face ID for its more expensive line of iPhones.
