Attention, Apple fans! The most affordable iPhone in the Argentine market has just dropped in price, and it will leave you speechless. Yes, we’re talking about the iPhone SE 3, the model that combines the power of the A15 Bionic chip (the same as the iPhone 13) with a classic Touch ID button design. Today, in several online stores, you can get it from $489,000 in cash or in 12 fixed interest-free installments. Does it seem expensive? Wait until you see what other brands offer.
Before you rush to buy, let’s analyze the specs. The iPhone SE 3 has a 4.7-inch Retina HD display, ideal for those who love compact phones. Its battery offers up to 15 hours of video playback, and the 12 MP rear camera with Night mode takes more than decent photos. But beware, if you’re someone who watches a lot of content, the screen feels small compared to the giants from Samsung or Motorola.
For example, the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G, which goes for around $450,000, has a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, a 5000 mAh battery, and a 50 MP main camera. A beast. But it doesn’t have the Apple ecosystem or the fluidity of iOS. If you’re into artificial intelligence and guaranteed updates, the iPhone SE 3 gives you 5 years of support. How long does a mid-range Samsung last? Two or three years, and then it becomes a turtle.
Motorola also makes its move: its Edge 30 Neo, with a 6.28-inch pOLED display and 120 Hz, a 64 MP camera, and 68W fast charging, is available for around $400,000. But careful, because the Snapdragon 695 processor doesn’t run the heaviest games like the iPhone’s A15. And Xiaomi, the king of low prices, offers the Redmi Note 12 Pro 5G for $350,000, with a 6.67-inch AMOLED display, a 5000 mAh battery, and a 108 MP camera. Incredible value for money, but the MIUI interface can become sluggish over time.
Now, is it worth pulling the trigger on the iPhone SE 3? It depends on your wallet and your needs. If you’re coming from Android and want to try iOS, it’s the cheapest entry point. But if you prioritize a large screen and battery, a Samsung or Motorola will serve you better. That said, with the current price drop, the iPhone SE 3 is more tempting than ever. And don’t forget the installments: on Mercado Libre you can find it in 12 fixed installments of $40,750, or in 18 installments with a 45% APR. For financing, better go with the 12 interest-free installments.
In summary, the cheapest iPhone in Argentina dropped to $489,000, but there are Android options that offer more for less. Is it worth paying for the apple? If you want a small, powerful phone with guaranteed updates, it’s a home run. But if you’re looking for a big screen and endless battery, better look towards Samsung or Motorola. The decision is yours, but hurry because these prices won’t last!
