Are iPhone 7/8 films, cases and other accessories suitable for iPhone SE 2020

Potential buyers are already thinking where to get the right accessories. After all, as a rule, when a fresh model of a smartphone goes on sale, the range of compatible cases is rather scarce, because manufacturers simply do not have time to prepare. But the iPhone SE 2020 was a real exception to the rule, because even before the start of sales, it had as many available accessories as no Android smartphone had.

For iPhone SE 2020, all the same accessories are suitable as for iPhone 7 and 8

Due to the fact that the dimensions of the iPhone SE almost completely coincide with the dimensions of the iPhone 7, the same covers, protective glasses and even the original case with the built-in Apple battery - Smart Battery Case are suitable for these smartphones. Yes, Apple has not officially announced such compatibility, especially since there are purely technical differences in the sizes of the two devices. Another thing is that they are so insignificant that in practice they can be completely neglected.

Differences between iPhone 7 and iPhone SE 2020

The difference in the dimensions of the iPhone 7 and iPhone SE 2020 is not so big - only 0.1 or 0.2 mm. This is a very slight variation. Therefore, the covers of the "seven" fit into the new iPhone SE without any problems. Moreover, all the connectors and buttons for these models are 100% identical: Lightning, and the power key, and volume keys, and even the location of the speaker. Therefore, if you are looking for a cover for your new thing, or even better, you already have a suitable option, you can use accessories from iPhone 7 or iPhone 8. However, there is a slight nuance.

Smart Battery Case for iPhone SE 2020

Looking for a battery case for iPhone SE 2020? Old from iPhone 7 will do

Due to the fact that Apple released the Smart Battery Case only for the iPhone 7, which does not have wireless charging, when using it on the iPhone SE 2020, which has wireless charging, you will not be able to charge it using a Qi-compatible charging station. To do this, you will have to remove the smartphone from the case and only then put it on the charging mat. Otherwise, the distance between the induction modules may be too large for the connection to be established and the battery to be energized.

Another small nuance, which is even smaller than the previous one, is the location of the apple logo. If on iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 it was located slightly above the middle, then on iPhone SE 2020 it was placed exactly in the middle like on iPhone 11. Therefore, if you had a case from one of the old models with an apple cutout, get ready for With the new iPhone SE, it will no longer look so aesthetically pleasing, because the logo will be cut off due to different layouts. But who cares at all?

How to charge iPhone SE 2020

As for charging accessories, there are no differences either. All power supplies, all Lightning cables, all wireless stations that were suitable for iPhone 7 or 8 are equally suitable for iPhone SE 2020. Moreover, due to the fact that the new product supports fast charging, its owners will have much more options when choosing chargers. For example, unlike the iPhone 7, the iPhone SE 2020 can be charged with power supplies from both the iPad and MacBook, including the most powerful at 91 watts.
