iPhone SE 3 finally arrived yesterday, as Apple unveiled the new iPhone for the middle class at the event held yesterday, with many hardware upgrades in particular. Suffice it to say that the new phone has the same processor as the iPhone 13, in addition to support for 5G networks and better battery life than the old model.
Unfortunately there are absolutely no changes in the design compared to iPhone SE 2, the price has also increased to $429 from $399, which puts the phone in a very frantic competition with many other phones in that price category.
Here are the specifications and price of the iPhone SE 3 and everything you need to know about the new cheap Apple phone.
iPhone SE 3 Specs
iPhone SE 3 comes powered by the same A15 Bionic processor as iPhone 13, but only in a smaller chassis. This means that this phone offers the best performance in its price category and there is no other phone that can compete with it in that aspect.
A15 Bionic makes the iPhone SE 3 1.8 times faster than iPhone 8, it also enables all the latest iOS 15 AI tasks, like Live Text, on-device Siri, and dictation. It is worth noting that the A15 chip contains a powerful image signal processor that enables many modes of photography and image processing at lightning speed.
There is almost no app or game that a phone can't run smoothly, and with the support of 5G networks that mean superb browsing and download speeds, you're in front of a perfect gaming experience.
Design and cameras
iPhone SE 2020 used the same iPhone 8 chassis. This is justified in order to save cost and not make the phone expensive, even if the design of this phone looks very old by today's standards. But Apple did not pay attention to this and introduced the iPhone SE 3 with that same old design. Whether you see it well or not, at $429, most buyers probably don't care.
The latest Apple phone features a home button, which also performs the functions of the Touch ID fingerprint sensor.
The fact that the iPhone SE 2020 takes great-looking photos can't be ignored, but in the end unfortunately it only has one lens. That hasn't changed with the iPhone SE 2022 as users get a 12MP f/1.8 sensor and that's it. There's no ultra-wide lens or telephoto sensor here.
Thanks to the A15 Bionic, iPhone SE 3 enjoys many of the latest advancements in computational photography that Apple has made lately. This includes Photography Modes, which are filters that adjust dynamically based on the shooting conditions around you.
The phone also supports Smart HDR 4 and Deep Fusion modes for richer colors, stronger contrast, and sharper details in captured images. Videos will also see a significant improvement over the previous SE, with more realistic color tones, better white balance and less noise.
Unfortunately, Apple didn't say anything about the Night Mode, which is a glaring omission. We can't confirm that the iPhone SE 2022 completely lacks the option to shoot in low light, but we think Apple would have mentioned it if the phone supported it. This can be a source of frustration for many.
Battery
One of the notable weaknesses of the latest iPhone SE model was battery life. Fortunately, the A15 Bionic processor should help the new phone be more efficient, which Apple believes as well.
While we don't know the official battery capacity, Apple says the iPhone SE 3 has better battery life than its predecessor. Hopefully that means more than 10 hours in terms of battery time, because 5G networks drain batteries in a massive way.
iPhone SE 3 Price
The price of the iPhone SE 3 this year has increased by $30. The iPhone SE 2020 was launched at an attractive price of only $399, which makes it the best option in that category in any case. But at $429, the iPhone SE 2022 will hit you with some other great phones, like Pixel 5a.
iPhone SE 3 pre-orders start on March 11th and it will be available in all markets generally from March 18th. The phone comes in three storage capacities: 64 GB, 128 GB, 256 GB, along with 3 GB RAM. Available color options are black, white and red.
