iPhone SE (2022)

Right on cue, Apple revealed its 3rd-gen iPhone SE during the tech giant’s March ‘Peek Performance’ event.

As rumours predicted, the new version of Apple’s entry-level smartphone adopts the same 4.7-inch iPhone 8-like design as its predecessor that still includes a physical ‘Home Button,’ and it’s on the inside where most of the new features are.


The new iPhone SE (2022) features the A15 chip offered in Apple’s iPhone 13 series and 5G connectivity. Other changes include the same glass construction featured on the rear of the iPhone 13. Apple says that the A15 has improved the iPhone SE’s pricing but didn’t delve into specific details.

The device still features the same single 12-megapixel rear camera and IP67 water and dust resistance as its predecessor. That said, Apple claims that the A15 Bionic chip allows for iPhone 13 photography features like ‘Smart HDR 4,’ ‘Deep Fusion’ and ‘Photography Styles.’
