iPhone SE 2022 launched: Everything to know about Apple’s most affordable iPhone in 10 points

Apple announced the iPhone SE 2022 refresh at its Peek Performance event on March 8. This is the most affordable iPhone that Apple makes, at the time of writing. The second gen model is no longer listed on its online store, which is to say, it has been discontinued – to no one’s surprise. For all intents and purposes, the iPhone SE 3 will be your gateway to the iPhone-verse now, with price in India starting at Rs 43,900.

On the outside, the new iPhone SE is similar to the older iPhone SE with the same design and form factor but there’s a lot of new stuff on the inside including a new, more powerful chip and an improved camera. Even more importantly, Apple says it has better battery life with “up to 2 hours more video playback” than the iPhone SE 2020. We will obviously have to test all this out in order to get a bigger, realistic picture of how the iPhone SE 3 performs.

For now, here’s everything to know about Apple’s most affordable iPhone in 10 points:

1. Design: As we said, the iPhone SE 3 looks exactly like the iPhone SE 2 which in simple terms means that it’s also throwback to the iPhone 8. It’s made of premium glass and metal, though, and the fit and finish—as it is with all Apple products—should be immaculate. The iPhone SE 3 comes in three colours— midnight, starlight, and (PRODUCT)RED.

2. Biometrics, speakers: The iPhone SE 3 has Touch ID. It has a stereo speaker setup

3. IP rating: The iPhone SE 3 is IP67-rated. The iPhone 13 models, in contrast, are IP68-rated.

7. Rear camera: It has same 12MP f/18 main camera with OIS as the iPhone SE 2 but it is now super-charged, sort of, thanks to the A15 Bionic. High-end camera features like Smart HDR 4, Photographic Styles, Deep Fusion, and Portrait mode are supported. The iPhone SE 3 can record [email protected] videos.

8. Front camera: On the front, it has a 7MP shooter.
