It's been quite a week!
It's Saturday, which means it's time for your weekly roundup of all things Apple News, and boy what a week it's been! From Apple's brand new iPhone SE, to rumors of new headphones, the first Apple Store to reopen outside of China and a stunning iPhone 12 leak, here's all the Apple news you should have read this week.
iPhone SE (2020)
On Wednesday, Apple debuted its brand new, long-rumored iPhone SE. Featuring an A13 processor, the iPhone 8's form factor, a 4.7-inch LCD display, and Touch ID, the iPhone SE retails starting at just $399. That's $399 for a phone with a processor more powerful than the most expensive Android phone money can buy. Hot damn! There's also a shiny (PRODUCT)RED model, with all proceeds being redirected to COVID-19 relief.

Apple headphones?
A report from Bloomberg claimed that Apple is working on premium over-ear headphones with interchangeable parts so you can tailor them for different uses. They are reportedly aimed at the high-end offerings from Bose, Sennheiser, and Sony which retail at $350. This report reflects a recent report from Jon Prosser stating that Apple plans to announce new headphones at WWDC 2020.
