Prime Day is finally here. While the annual sales event will be chock-full of deals all week long, one phone we're keeping an eye on is the $399 iPhone SE 2020. 

Because Apple unveiled the iPhone 12 on Oct. 13, Apple's entry-level handset went on sale that very same day at other retailers. Amazon sells the iPhone SE 2020 with carrier service and unlocked, although the unlocked model they sell is renewed.

iPhone SE 2020: $148 @ US Cellular
New customers can score Apple's new iPhone for as little as $4.96/month (over a 30-month contract) if they switch to US Cellular. That's one of the best iPhone SE deals we've seen. It works out to $148.80 total over a 30-month installment plan. Given that U.S. Cellular is only available in select states, though, you'll have to confirm that the carrier covers your service area first.View Deal

The iPhone SE packs a lot into its compact frame, including a super fast A13 Bionic processor and a very good rear camera that benefits form the chip's computational photography capabilities. For example, you can take portrait mode pics using both the front and back cameras and take advantage of Smart HDR for getting the best results in challenging lighting conditions.

The iPhone SE 2020 also offers features you don't normally see at this price, such as water resistance and wireless charging. These are perks you don't get on the Google Pixel 4a. 

With its 4.7-inch display, the iPhone SE 2020 is best for people who like smaller phones, but overall it's big on value and we expect some discounts for Amazon Prime Day on Amazon itself and through carriers and other retailers.
