iPhone SE 2020 delivered from today
After years, Apple has finally released an affordable entry-level iPhone again. The iPhone SE 2020 has the design of the iPhone 8, but the power of the iPhone 11 and that for a starting price of 489 euros.
In this article we have listed some practical tips for everyone who gets started with the iPhone SE 2020. For example, we show you how to safely and quickly transfer your data from another smartphone, which apps you really need to install and more.

1. Transfer data
If this is not the first iPhone you use, it is useful to transfer your data. Once you boot the iPhone SE 2020, Apple will walk you through the installation process step by step. There you will also be asked if you want to transfer data from another smartphone. Do you need help with transferring your data? Check out our iPhone transfer guide or video below.
2. These apps are worth installing
You can go a long way with the standard apps on your iPhone, but the App Store has been filled with countless other apps over the years that can also be very useful. In the video below, we have listed nine apps that, in our opinion, should be on every iPhone. From the handy payment app Tikkie to an alternative to Apple’s standard Mail app.

3. You can adjust these settings immediately
Your iPhone SE 2020 is largely set correctly by default. Yet there are a few settings that we always quickly adjust as one of the first things. For example, we activate a grid in the Camera app to take better photos, we schedule the Do Not Disturb function and we add some useful things to the Control Panel. We have bundled all the settings that we adjust for you in a handy article or in the video below.
4. Don’t forget the accessories
Of course you want to protect your new iPhone well. A case or screen protector can therefore not hurt if you plan to use your SE 2020 as long as possible unscathed. In our overview we have listed the best iPhone SE 2020 cases for you.
The iPhone SE 2020 also supports fast charging, so you can top up the battery at lightning speed. The disadvantage is that the adapter that comes with it cannot handle this speed. So you will have to buy a new adapter and a new charging cable to take advantage of this. At Coolblue you can go for an 18 Watt fast charger and accompanying USB-C to Lightning cable.
