Apple sold 11,000 iPhone SE units in one fell swoop

A large order has been placed with Apple to deliver thousands of copies of the iPhone SE. Who is this customer?

Who that customer is? The British Government! This concerns an order from the Work & Pension department in the United Kingdom. In total, it concerns 11,000 copies, part of a contract of more than four million British pounds that the government has concluded through provider XMA. IBM has been engaged to provide support.

The thousands of copies of the Apple iPhone SE are a bit different compared to the standard consumer phone. Because it is a government smartphone, the phone comes with a built-in tag that is also waterproof. These tags have their own IMEI and serial number. If the phone is stolen or lost, the government can still locate the smartphone. Important, because there may be secret data on such a phone.

Apple is a popular brand in the UK government. In the past, the American brand was also allowed to deliver 11,000 copies of the iPad to officials. This purchase was made because of a large number of officials who had to work from home due to the corona virus. All copies of the iPhone SE are the 2020 model with 64 GB of storage. So the entry-level model. (via Appleinsider)
