Apple iPhone SE (2022) brings flagship A15 power and Touch ID in a tiny, affordable body.
The budget iPhone for fans of compact phones and Touch ID.
Dated display. The 4.7" 60Hz LCD peaks at 625 nits with large bezels and low resolution.
Strong performance. The Apple A15 Bionic with 4GB RAM stays fast well beyond its price class.
Basic camera. A single 12MP main with OIS leans heavily on Apple's image processing.
Weak battery life. The small 2018mAh cell needs a midday top-up, with 20W wired and 7.5W wireless.
Excellent software. Ships iOS 15 with roughly 5 years of updates.
Compact build. Aluminum frame and glass back at a very light 144g with a Touch ID home button.
Decent audio. Stereo speakers with Spatial Audio.
Solid connectivity. 5G sub-6GHz, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, and single eSIM support.
