Apple's latest venture takes the form of iPhone SE deals, and it has been one many will be fans of for one simple reason - affordability. Shaking off its usual monstrous price tags, Apple has brought the competition to Android...finally.

But if you've had your eye on the iPhone SE, where is the best place to buy it? Obviously, you want it at an affordable price - so which retailers will you find the lowest prices from?

Some SE contracts have gained their value through promotions and free gifts and others are just down-right affordable with no fancy add-ons or tricks. We've done the searching and compiled the best options for you below.

It is well worth keeping in mind though that the iPhone SE, while plugged full of 2020 tech, is pretty basic. If you've got the cash to splash and want something high-tech, consult our guide to the best iPhone deals to see what else is available.

Free Apple TV with your purchase:

Like with iPhone 11 deals when they launched, buying a new iPhone SE will secure you free Apple TV for the next year. That's a subscription that would normally cost you £4.99 a month or £59.88 for the full year.

What's the new iPhone SE actually like?

Finally...a cheap iPhone. It's been years since Apple offered us a budget handset but the SE 2020 is clearly that. It comes at almost half the price of the iPhone 11 while offering some 2020 specs.

4K video, Apple's super-powered A13 Bionic, wireless charging, an increased battery, and an IP67 rating feature amongst the more impressive features of this device. To lower the price however, Apple has gone back to the design of the iPhone 8, brought the camera lenses down to just one, and dropped the screen quality.

Overall, this falls in place as the best budget device Apple has out, coming way under its more recent devices in price but offering some impressive specs to out-do the iPhone 8, 7, and other such devices. To read more, head to our dedicated iPhone SE review.

At this point, we seem to know almost everything about the iPhone 12 range, with a big leak recently filling in most of the rumor gaps.

If what we’ve heard is right, then we have a good idea of the design, power, storage, prices, sizes, features and names of Apple’s upcoming phones, but there are still a few big things that we’re not at all sure of.

Below we’ve detailed the five major things that we’re yet to learn – things that haven’t been leaked at all, haven’t been fully leaked, or where there are conflicting reports.

We’re still months away from the launch of the iPhone 12 so there’s every chance these things will be leaked before Apple takes the stage, but for now at least they remain something of a mystery.

1. The release date

The release date of a new iPhone is something we can usually take a very good guess at, as they generally arrive like clockwork in early September, but this year that might change, with rumors suggesting that Covid-19 has affected development and in turn may have caused delays.

Whether the iPhone 12 will be delayed and how long by though is a subject of some debate, with reports putting the delay at anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, and other sources suggesting there might not be a delay at all.

So while this is the one thing we usually have an idea of straight away, right now it’s one of the few big things that we’re really not sure of at all.

2. The camera specs

Will the iPhone 12 have better lenses than the iPhone 11 Pro Max?

We have a good idea about some aspects of the iPhone 12’s camera. For example, the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max are likely to have a LiDAR scanner (as seen on the iPad Pro 2020) alongside three other lenses, one of which might be 64MP, while the standard iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Max will likely just have two rear lenses, and no LiDAR scanner.

But we don’t yet know the details of those two lenses, or of two of the lenses on the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max. We can speculate – based on the iPhone 11 range – that they’ll likely all be 12MP, but all this is for now is guesswork, and Apple has been using 12MP sensors for a while now so it’s about time we got an upgrade.

3. The battery capacity

Apple never reveals the battery capacity of its phones, so we’re usually left waiting for a teardown before there are any official numbers. That doesn’t tend to stop the specs from leaking, but so far we haven’t heard any details of the iPhone 12’s battery.

There are rumors that Apple might use a smaller battery protection module than previously, which could leave room for a larger battery, but that’s unconfirmed, and the exact capacity of the battery is completely unknown.

For reference, the standard iPhone 11 has a 3,110mAh battery and even the iPhone 11 Pro Max only has a 3,969mAh one – which isn’t particularly huge for a phone of its size and specs, so we’re hoping for a battery upgrade in the iPhone 12 range.

4. The screen resolution

Will the iPhone 12 Pro have a sharper screen than the iPhone 11 Pro?

There’s a strong consensus that the iPhone 12 will have a 5.4-inch screen, the iPhone 12 Max a 6.1-inch one, the iPhone 12 Pro a 6.1-inch one, and the iPhone 12 Pro Max a 6.7-inch one, but what hasn’t so far been leaked is the resolution of these screens.

Those sizes aren’t all the same as past models either, so we can’t even work under the assumption that they’ll have the same resolutions as the iPhone 11 range.

5. The colors

We have heard some news on the possible colors of the iPhone 12 range. For example, one source suggests that there will be a new navy blue model, and it’s likely Apple will stick with at least some of its current colors – meaning space grey, gold, silver, and midnight green for the Pro models, and white, black, green, yellow, purple, and red for the standard ones.

But which of those colors will stay, which will go, and whether there will be any additional colors offered (other than possibly navy blue), is so far unknown.

At $350 (or £350/about AU$540), the one-off fee charged by pCloud for its 2TB cloud storage solution looks expensive. After all, some rivals charge as little as $3.49 for 5TB per year or just under $80 lifetime.

However, pCloud is not a cold storage solution, which means you won’t have to wait hours to retrieve your content, hence the slight premium.

As for super low yearly prices, they are often limited to the first year only, meaning renewals will likely be significantly more expensive - up to 15x in some cases. Ouch!

pCloud's Premium Plus 2TB plan is great for power users  who regularly exchange very large files, in the hundreds of Gigabytes. There is no inactivity clause for lifetime users, plus you have a 30-day trash history.

What else do you get? You can back up files seamlessly from a number of well known cloud storage providers and social networks. There’s also a built-in video player - which is great for video streaming - and an audio player with playlist management.

As for security, pCloud storage is covered by TLS/SSL channel protection with 256-bit AES encryption for all files. It also gives you five file copies on different servers and an optional extra layer of encryption via pCloud Crypto.

Note, you can only install the pCloud app once per device and at this time there's no option to link more than one account at once.

Nvidia has unveiled the third generation of the world's most advanced AI system with the launch of its new Nvidia DGX A100.

The DGX A100 can deliver five petaflops of AI performance as it consolidates the power and capabilities of an entire data center into a single platform for the first time. The system is available now and the first order has already shipped out to the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory which will use its AI and computing power to better understand and fight against Covid-19.

In a press release, founder and CEO of Nvidia, Jensen Huang explained how the DGX A100 will help advance the development of AI, saying:

• Nvidia makes Linux push with Cumulus Networks deal
• IBM CEO: 'Every company will become an AI company'
• These are the best AI platforms for business

“NVIDIA DGX A100 is the ultimate instrument for advancing AI. NVIDIA DGX is the first AI system built for the end-to-end machine learning workflow — from data analytics to training to inference. And with the giant performance leap of the new DGX, machine learning engineers can stay ahead of the exponentially growing size of AI models and data.”

Nvidia DGX A100

Nvidia's DGX A100 systems integrate eight of the company's new A100 Tensor Core GPUs for a total of 320GB of memory that can be used to train even the largest AI datasets. The system also features the latest high-speed Nvidia Mellanox HDR 200Gbps interconnects.

When working with smaller workloads, the DGX A100 can be partitioned into as many as 56 instances per system by using the A100's multi-instance GPU feature. This enables enterprise to optimize computing power and resources on demand in order to accelerate a variety of diverse workloads, including data analytics, training and inference, all on a single, fully integrated, software defined platform.

The University of Florida even plans to deploy DGX A100 systems to infuse AI across its entire curriculum with the aim of fostering an AI-enabled workforce.

Nvidia's new AI system is available now through its partner network of resellers worldwide starting at $199,000 (£164,412). The company's storage technology providers, including DDN Storage, Dell, IBM, NetApp, Pure Storage and Vast, also plan to integrate the DGX A100 into their offerings.
