[Trainer-Talk] iPhone Se 2020

[Scott Davert]

Hi Kelsey.
BSI should work fine on the SE 2020, it just may feel a little cramped at first though, since the screen will be a little smaller than your 8+. I don't use BSI often, as I use a braille display, but it worked fine for me on the SE 2020 when I tried it. The phone will certainly to  faster than the 8+, though don't expect too much improvement in terms of battery life. If you aren't clinging to your home button, the 12 Mini may also be worth considering, as that's roughly the size of the 8+. It will cost more and requires you to use Face ID, though. Remember, with Apple, you have 2 weeks to try something and return it for a full refund, though I'm not sure how smooth that works if you do not have the ability to get to an Apple Store. I've never done this by mail, but know others who have.a

Good luck,
Scott
