Is The SE 3 Repairable?

- Unboxing, Teardown, & Reparability Review.
The iPhone SE 3 (2022), is Apple's latest affordable iPhone. It comes with 5G and Apple's strongest glass yet. In this video, we unbox, review and take a look at how repairable this device is. Since this is Apple's first release since the announcement of Apples Self service repair program, we can get a good look at any changes Apple may have made since that news. We teardown the device as well as swap boards to see what Apple has done this time...

One thing to note is that this phone will be extremely inexpensive to fix anywhere you go! always something people need to consider when buying a new phone.

Actually the SE2 had two versions of its box. The one with charging brick and EarPods and the one like the SE3 box. I also hate how they give you a lightning to USB-C cable with the new boxes when USB-C bricks aren’t as common. It’s actually been said that it creates more waste with the smaller boxes because now some people have to go out and buy a charger with its own packaging waste. They Just wanted to save a buck not including a charger and headphones under the guise that it was more environmentally friendly.
To add to that, it was recently revealed that Apple made $5 billion by removing accessories from the iPhone box.
Same old apple but Starbucks hipsters will eat it up 🤦♂️
@@user-te1le7ck6b a lot of brands are going that already, not only Apple.
@@vitaliibraslavets because apple started it
@@vitaliibraslavets Some, like Xiaomi (Now It's totally removed I think 🤔) proposed to choose, Charger or No Charger, without any fees
I feel like with SE apple accidentally instead of ordering parts for 83.6m units (that were ordered for iPhone 8's sold globally) made a typo and ordered 836million of each part for iPhone 8 now they are utilizing stock they ordered lol
So trueeeee
But actually
Agree
Finally a new long video ;) love being able to see the inside of phones and what you do is great. Only thing a lot this vid is there was no “get that crunch” on the screen.

I fell in love with this guy's work.
i did go with a iphone 11 because it looks and feels better , and the a13 bionic is still more powerfull than the most moblie chips , i am really happy with that phone
Same here
@ItsBayz news flash the x is trash *rhymed*
i went with used iphone 11 pro
A13 bionic is less powerful than most, not more
@@yctcyvotcitcotrxjvlkggl its still more powerful than the most , most of the people got old phones or cheap and there are the most still slower but yeah the new phone are more powerful like s21 / s22 or iphone 12 / 13
Just got the SE 3, I had the XS max. I honestly think this was such a good choice It’s so fast and the battery is perfect I love the TOUCH ID. i plan on getting the iPad Air 5 to compensate also because I need a laptop so yeah I love this phone!
so you downgraded ..... very heavily...
@@negig2161the only downgrade was his screen the se 3 is better in every other way
@@negig2161actually se2 and se3 are said to out live the 11 pro and up and I would have to say it does I bought my iPhone se2 last summer my nephew got the 14 plus and his back glass is shattered the iPhone housing is bent and the phone over all don’t have the protection my iPhone SE 2 has and I’ve drop mine out cars and off three roofs and still works like a champ no damage slight scratches but nothing super noticeable and I over all love my se2 I also use a iPhone 7 for work and that still works better then my se 2 does. lol it’s not about the amount of money they are worth it’s about the quality of work that went into each device to work as they were intended to be used.
The awkwardness this guy adds to the videos is what makes it more fun 😂😂
NO one talks about how cheap the parts for this phone are compared to every other phone out there right now.
@vaugni allen yeah no dip lmao
look at that notch and chin 🤣
Not every phone lol midrange phones have cheaper parts

A lot of people say how dated and old the iPhone 8 design is. I personally actually really like it and prefer this uninterrupted screen instead of a annoying ASF Notch or Hole punch.
And it is a real shame that the iPhone SE 2 (And probably SE 3 as well) Don't cone with 3D Touch. 3D Touch wil literally let you navagate without a home button!
Apple killed 3D Touch a long time ago.
There ain’t much 3D Touch support even on 3D Touch capable devices. Apple pretty much just neutered the 3D Touch support starting from iOS 13.
@@staidey5994 Even on the latest version every feature (Except for Peek and Pop) still work on 3D Touch devices! I am not sure if drawing still works but I know using the keyboard to select text or as a trackpad, Going into the app switcher or the next app, triggering app shortcuts, and instead of peeking you get an app preview that you can touch into. All of these things you can do with Haptic Touch and with 3D Touch. (Except for trigger the app switcher) 3D Touch has no delay at all while Haptic Touch takes 1.0 seconds.
Also woth 3D Touch you can trigger the trackpad anywhere while with Haptic Touch you can only do it with the spacebar.
I own a iPhone 6+ and not having 3D Touch is a PAIN!
After helping other people woth their iPhones (iPhone 6S, 8, X, XS, XS Max, 12, 13, and the minis) I found that 3D Touch is not only faster but wayyyyyyy more satisfying to use due to pressure being applied. 3D Touch is not dead dead yet and I would personally prefer the iPhone 6S on IOS 12.5.5 because I want full 3D Touch with Peek and Pop and everything and because of the jack.
I won't be updating a 6S if I get it on an older version.

@@lavendec lol
@@lavendec haha it's actually worse for the environment because more packaging material is wasted when you buy a charging brick serperately
@@lavendec so making you buy it seperately in a whole another box is better for climate then including it and making the box a little bigger? lmao
I have the SE 2 and I won’t be Herod for a long time
Not a single scratch on it and I use it for work without a case in a factory, very durable couldn’t be happier with it
Will you do a tear down and rebuild of a iPhone 2g please? I would love to see some vintage hardware on your channel. I am a iPhone collector and I do repairs too! I even did the iPhone XR to 13 after you did! It worked great!
If you’re a collector and do repairs yourself, why don’t you do a tear down?
I have an iPhone 4s lyinga round that I have a bit of use for. Except I don't have a sim kathe enough for it
I’m just a kid and I don’t want to spend 450 bucks on a phone lol
Same Ived own med everything up to 3GS current I use a se 2 and iPhone 7 and I have an Apple Watch SE 2 and I use use AirPods 2 gen only because I just need them for work.

Underrated
I recently upgrade my iPhone 6 Plus to a iPhone XR and I’m loving it, I hope I can make this last the same amount of time as my iPhone 6plus
It will be updated until 2023 so I don’t think you’ll have it for as long as your old one
XR is already an aging phone…I wouldn’t count on having support for it for much longer. 5 years is generally the cutoff, so you will at least have support until next year. Of course, if it’s the same deal as the 6s, you could have support until 2025.
@@falcondragonslayer support for what? I never did update my iPhone 6plus and never had a problem with any apps or the phone. I updated the 6plus by accident and after the update it was the buggiest experience I ever had. So After getting everything up to date it still didn’t change anything. As long as I can still get parts for it I don’t care if it’s not supported by Apple anymore, I personally don’t see any difference on newer phone beside bigger cameras and longer battery life.
@@omar15911 well if you don’t have it updated don’t he surprised if it gets hacked and your stuff is stolen. That’s what the updates do. Not only do they improve the features, but they add security
@@falcondragonslayer well if you don’t get on porn sites you should be good. Also Apple is already really good against viruses and stuff like that but it can still happen, just don’t click on suspicious stuff. Worst case scenario is they steal money from your bank account which I have it set to send a text and email if any transactions happens on the account. I also have my account to have a max transaction of 500,anymore than that I would need to call. And if that all fails really can’t do much but dispute it with the bank on how they allowed someone to bypass the security. I also don’t keep all my money on one account either.
For some reason I want to use your “get that crunch” as a text tone, lol!
Surprisingly, this is the first time I've heard of the SE 3. Very interesting; I'd consider getting one, but I'm content with my SE 2, at least for now.
I was thinking about the upgrade myself too but my carrier still has no 5g support for iPhones so it's not worth it for now, also the se2 still is a beast so the upgrade wouldn't be that much of a deal.
Honestly I prefer SE series not because I can't buy other models but I hate the fact that they moved from 1 camera setup and no touch id.
@Jaquan Kelsor completely agreed
I was considering trading in my se2 for the se3 but I would only get 100 bucks even though it’s barely a year old so I am waiting till this phone dies and then I’ll buy the se3
Same here
I'm upgrading from Samsung to apple..
I will get an SE 3 or my mom will give me her iPhone 7+
I'm still waiting for Valve to show Apple how phones should actually be made
if valve develops a phone, all other manufacturers might as well quit while they're ahead
They're making a phone?
@@rice4823 Nah, but if they did, all other manufacturers might as well quit. Two prominent examples of good product design are the valve index (which I own and HOLY SHIT is it worth the money) and the steam deck. Full on user repair friendly and the index can even be modded on the hardware level. Same with the Deck but now you can customize that shit to your liking on the software level too
Wow, this phone looks great!
Tq prg for the full review , I'm using the first gen se for few years now , wanting to upgrade to new one to the SE 3 soon
I went from an iPhone 8 to an SE and it’s a huge improvement. I like not having a fancy phone. This works perfectly.
3:00 Just to clarify the iPhone 8 has a A11 chip. & the A13 chip is available for the iPhone 11 series 👍
I’m thinking about buying the 3rd gen SE and giving my 8 to my little brother (who is using a 6s). The 5G and better camera software will be helpful, and the increased RAM and processing will be nice. Thanks for the video
Theres no better camera software lol theres not even nightmode on the camera
@@mehshutup3041 Did you miss the part where he said there’s a new camera software? But even if there isn’t I don’t care. My 8’s camera works just fine, despite the rather simple software for it
Great idea. Make sure to either sell or properly recycle the 6. Apple store recycles them for you, free of charge.
I’m glad they kept the home button on the SE, god I love it
thanks for video brother😍😍
se 4 needs a bezel to bezel display and face id with dynamic island, that would be next level.
Bruh those reflexes tho!
Very informative review
Thank you!
Half of the information is wrong
@@jgal7979 Which half?? Dont titillate me
@@padamek why’d you have to make it weird
Wow nice contents as always,long time no see, please make more of this, and take care.
More to come!
This Video helps allot to a People who wants to buy a SE3
The SE 3 was my first iPhone
I love the work you do thanks
I love your voice so much. I feel like saying a lot more, but I should probably stop there. Best husk on RUclips.
I just got the se 3 and it works fine
As an avid SE shopper, can’t say I won’t have one in the future. I still have my IPhone 12 and SE 2 tho with both being a little over a year old. So mayb in the next year or 2
When I bought the iPhone SE and opendcthe box the screen had a sharp dent in the glass and I cut my finger but I got another one with no extra charge. that’s I phone for ya 😊
its "They gave you the iPhone experience, without the iPhone price tag" for me
I would love to see a IPhone 8plus with a iPhone SE 3.Gen mainboard and MagSafe B.c. I saw that the mainboards look identical to me
The SE doesn’t have Ceramic Shield careful, they talk about the most durable glass like the back of the 13 and 12 series not like their screen ( maybe Ceramic Shield is not a Glass for apple but an hybrid )
I was looking at the specs compared to my iPhone 7 and 90% of the specs looked the same on paper (minus obviously the 5G /A15 and wireless charging etc) . Is the screen the same as the 7 and 8? They have exact same PPI and nits and 4.7"
I haven't used both but I think yeah it is same, and also the battery life is going to be wayy better than a seven
I think it’s the exact same screen as the 7 except that the 8 and SE 3 have True Tone, whereas the 7 didn’t.
Same screen but iPhone se doesn’t have 3D Touch, and the iPhone 7 doesn’t have true tone
the phone has basically been the same since the iPhone 6 other than some camera improvements over the years in hardware and software, 5G, and the A15. This year I think people are saying the battery is slightly bigger as well but it's basically the same phone for like 8 years in a row.
@@HearMeLearn
you are literally brain dead if you think the iphone 13 pro max and the iphone 6 are "the same". And on top of that, you just listed off a bunch of reasons why they're NOT the same, and then you proceed to say that they're the same 🤦♀. Just because you can't afford newer iPhones doesn't mean you should delude yourself into thinking that all iPhones are the same lmaooo.
Good luck because someone passed me an iPhone 6S which only had 10 screws inside and the whole top of the screen is just gone meaning no more front camera and the back has 69 hammered-like marks 💀
Loved all your videos
I’m actually watching this on iPhone SE three
I have the SE2 but I think SE3 is more shiny because I looked at my phone and mine isn’t as shiny
the background music is therapeutic
Currently using an SE 2020, got it for Christmas last year. I hate small screens on phones, so the SE 2 isn't great for me. I will be upgrading to a 14 Pro this year-ish.
wait for the se 4 that will come out it will be cheap and iphone 14 body with one camera
@@sdawawda6331 I ended up getting a brand new iPhone 15.
hey man you should try to put the motherboard from the iPhone 8 into the SE3
Saving the button or button swap helps. Serial numbers on everything Apple?!?
Better to get a refurbished iPhone 12 mini off ebay for around the same price
Hey man what's sap, hope you doing great. Please can you change screens on Samsung Galaxy s22 and please do a video of it for us.
there is no force touch sensor on the screen anymore, If I'm not mistaken, that's the reason why it looks slimmer, and screws are missing
2018 was a good year!
The good old fashioned apple anti-repair sequel continues
Can we upgrade the screen to oled tho
No you can’t
Yeah the next iPhone SE needs an OLED with the same notch as the13s
Awesome video Bhaijaan 👍👍😎
THANK u for the video.
This is literally a remaining parts bin phone
Wow, that would be my next phone!
Shout out from Ethiopia 🇪🇹🙌🙌🙌
I have a 2020 se, haven’t watched yet but interested to see the differences
So excited for this
I really want an update to this video with the ios 18 repair assisant
Are they still going to make that XR style SE soon?
I learn so much from you
swap motherboard from SE3 to 8 and test it!!
It is ironic how Apple doesn’t want you inside your phone but they make the inside of your phone beautiful
Its because of something steve jobs said
Can u make a short with every crunch u did?
i just got this iphone in 2024 i dont care how much you like it i like it
This video really good for: "watch the rating before you buy it" but this is "watch the behind the phone before buying it".
Can you check if the battery of se3 is compatible with the 8 ? It will be a good upgrade
Battery connections are different.

You should definitely focus on more full videos rather than shorts imo. The quality of your longer videos are great. Not saying your shorts are bad, but longer videos could have much more potential.
How about add MagSafe to it
You should try putting an iPhone 8 mboard in an se3 and see what happens
Love your content hope to see more from you
iPhone 8 mainboard looks like it's slightly wider than SE 3 mainboard, thus making room for the larger battery.
Can you try to build the newest parts in the oldest iPhone Becouse I would really like to have an iPhone 5 with ios 15
I have one. Need back glass and screen. Would u recommend a home user to do this?😊
Him: Not having an IPhone SE 2
Me: Watching on it 😅
Since the battery is so tiny, in my opinion any OLED panel could have been used.
Thank you for the share
But. Some people using JCID programmer. To switch/replace “old original to new”) out the screen/face I’d and Touch ID (copy from the original “read” then write it over to the new parts. ) so that would make it more possible to get new screen, new working home button with Touch ID, Face ID, True Tone, battery indicator.
I would be nice to see these videos from you too 😊
IMO it's not worth it. I have the SE2 and other than a bit better battery and 5G, there's no point. I might aswell save up for another year and get the iPhone 14 if it's any better than the 13
reason being the touch ID is not working because the touch ID button is linked to the logic board. even though they are physically separated but still if you even for example only change the touch ID button it will not work as the logic board will not recognise it as its own. must be serial number linked. The same applies to all iPhones with touch ID.
Are all screws size are the same?
No sir, in fact some look identical but can damage the board or screen if you put the wrong one in
Oh...ok
Thank you so much Sir 😊
The black iPhone se 3 is dark navy blue when you get the light on the right angle
I wonder if they're gonna start removing the charging brick from iPads soon. Probably to be expected.
I’m watching him do this while using the IPhone SE 3
With the iPhone 8 you can replace the home button and the button still work. I replaced my uncles iPhone 8 home button
And the button part worked but the Touch ID did not work
Make more videos like this please!
You should see if you can put the se core into the iPhone 8 plus
Will we get a software test?
Me:Waiting to here that crunch
Him:Sorry mate but buy the display holder
Nice video!
I am actually surprised that apple didn’t have a bombardment of non genuine messages on startup
does it ever happen to you that when you change a screen and you rescrew the plate over the connectionts but it doesnt sit fully flush? all the cables are connected properly but it just kinda need to bend a tiny bit it doesnt interfere with the closing it up or anything else, but it happened to me last time and i was just a bit confused.
I’ve never had that mate
Probably the chip isn’t aligned properly with the backplate, happens on the 7 the most.
Do you mean as in the earspeaker, home button, or the emis (shields that are in the phone). Also, which phone?
@@judedunlop7238 I’m talking about the metal plate that goes over the two display and the battery connector. This happened with the 7 and 7 plus, the plate would just ever so slightly bend when i screwed it in. It felt like maybe the thermal pads (or whatever the foam looking things that are taped to the metal piece) didn’t sit that flush on the connector therefore bulging the metal a little.
@@Kradith does it happen with the original screen? Could be your replacement parts, could also be that the connectors aren't flush, but you would probably notice touch or home button issues. I can't say I've experienced something similar, and I repair 10 or so phones a day. As long as it's not serious to the point where you're getting pressure marks on the screen and the cables are secure I wouldn't worry too much, the shields just there to keep everything in place right? 👍
