This phone is great for people who prefer the smaller size and aren’t too worried about camera quality… other than that its performance is exceptionally well. I hate how all these new phones are getting bigger and bigger. To me this is the perfect size
I’m still using my SE2 that I got when my original SE would no longer OS update. I’m an older woman, with small hands, living on a fixed income; but a longtime Apple/Mac user, and I like that my iPhone, Mac & iPad communicate & work together effortlessly.
@@lewis72 3rd gen se has the fingerprint option, the home button. Se4 is rumoured to not have that, and have a face unlock instead of that. If you like the design, it’d be wise to upgrade now. @donnajones9854 you shall look into it too,
I've had this phone for over a year now. Size is perfect, love the touch ID over face ID, battery is OK, the only thing to watch out for is the camera. The difference is HUGE compared to any other camera on an iPhone made in the last 4 or so years.
Honestly, if you are willing to adjust your phone use expectations, I would still get the iPhone SE. The design may be old, but there is still a market for those that like this form factor -- users that are still holding onto the iPhone 6, 7 and 8 that want to upgrade their hardware can go with this option because it's a familiar design, no muscle memory is tampered with, and they can still use their old accessories like the protective cases they already have -- saves them more money that way. Regarding the "outdated" display, there are people that get sick due to pulse width modulation (PWM) with OLED screens. LCD panels rarely cause that issue. Not to mention, LCD screens can help prolong battery life compared to OLED. Despite Apple now using USB-C going forward because of EU regulations, Apple's proprietary lightning port will still be around for a while -- how long, that depends. And that's because despite the 15 series just being released, there are thousands of past iPhone models still in use. The average consumer isn't gonna keep upgrading every year unless they are the type to splurge. I would suggest getting a 3rd party USB- C charging/data cable with a lightning port adapter included that's MFI approved - just carry one cable for all your other devices, less clutter. Lastly, with Apple's great track record of software upgrades of up to 5, even 7 years keeping the old models current, no need to upgrade for a long time. iOS 17 runs really well on the SE, so yeah, users will get their money's worth. I just don't suggest buying the SE from Apple directly.
@@sembrown007 Apple hasn’t dropped the prices on their old models whenever they launch their latest iteration. To this day, they are still charging the SE at the base storage of 64GB at $430 USD.
It gets the job done😅. Phone calls, texts, emails, surfing the net, good not great photos, video playback. All for less than half the price of the latest flagship iPhone. Can’t beat that.
I had a love / hate with my Gen 2 SE. Compact - yes. Had the SoC power - yes Has the Same OS as it's $1k brothers -yes. But that small screen/ keyboard was hell for my pork chop thumbs, battery was trash when pushing it and the screen was too small and now spoiled with OLED panels. Mike, this was a stellar review. 👍🏻
i just switched from Xiaomi to SE 3 and all i can say . the difference is huge. its defenatly worth it , as long as you can find it on a decent price. the only thing i can see as a problem is the small battery it has, i guess if it goes lower than 90% and you use it a lot, u gonna need a powerbank. The size is perfect the camera is great and its super fast with A15 Bionic
Lol go and buy a 5000 mAh battery case and use it u can use all day 15 hour non stop continuely with bettry case it will beh useful for u there are two types of one power bank battery case for se or 6s 2 wireless power bank
I'm using Xiaomi note 10 as my main device since 2021, this year march I just change my Samsung S7 to SE 3 as my secondary driver never look back since.. as a first time iPhone user this SE 3 is really worth to buy/use compact & always gave updated update IOS that's y I choose SE3 to be my secondary phone for the next 5 years.. 📱👍💯🎯
@@JC-tg5xx I mean it depends, if you're a heavy user then go with the 15 but I think the average phone user who uses their phones for social media, texting/calling and taking pictures. then definitely got for the iPhone se3. I went with it over the iPhone 15, and I love it to pieces. No Regrets at all. And plus, its way cheaper. The iPhone se3 is 399 brand new while the iPhone 15 is 800+$
I got the original SE in 2016, which I still use daily nearly eight years later (typing this comment with it). I’ll be upgrading to the SE 3rd generation this Christmas. If I can get even half of the years I got out of this phone from the new one, I’ll be happy.
I own an se 2 64gb and it has been quite reliable. Built like a tank. It has ios 17.5.1 and I am impressed with its speed. I just ordered a red refirbished 64gig se 3 and I'll compare the two, myself.
@@huiAPPOAJAll iPhones with the touch fingerprint sensor ties back to the Steve Jobs era. So with the next iPhone SE likely to dump it, this is indeed the last Jobs era phone.
It reminds me of the Iphone 6 series man those lasted forever so many people held onto them for so long before finally upgrading to something like the Iphone 11 which at this rate is the new Iphone 6 because so many people still rock the 11
Heck yeah!! I jumped to the 11 from the 6. It is still 0 issues. I don't feel like I need a newer model. Looking into getting this one for my 10 y/o son.
This is a great phone for people who want a quality small phone. Touch id is good but some people, especially seniors, have trouble with their fingerprints changing. It's small & powerful something like taking the engine from a Ford Mustang & putting it into the Ford Pinto.
I love the SE models since the 2016 model. I’m all for the smaller, home button iPhones. This is probably the last home button iPhone to be honest. I’ll be getting this next year when it’s priced cheaper.
I have upgrade every year And i have tested all iPhone models since 3GS ( not 15 series) now i have iPhone 14 pro and i think that i really want again SE2022.. i miss Classical IPhone
Typing this on my SE I got yesterday at Verizon. It’s brand new and it’s a good cheap option if you have really good service ie Verizon. I got what I could afford now and I’ll upgrade later. A fresh iPhone is a fresh iPhone. It’s definitely giving me the nostalgia for when I had an iPhone 6. Touch ID is fun and I’ll definitely save this baby as a backup or a simple little iPod. I didn’t grow up with all the phones so this is a cool little throwback for me.
Same here. i came from an iPhone 7 i had for over 6 years, broke my heart after it started jumping from App to app by itself. Went to verizon , and ask if they had an iPhone 7 , the guy smiled said no, and offered me the 3rd gen SE. i couldn’t be happier, the case that was on my iPhone 7 fit the SE perfect. Who wants a big giant phone that cost an arm, and a leg when all i do is text, and talk. Its just a tool, and not for any entertainment .
@@steveb1972thats true. Probably thats why they realsed such an unwanted screen. so the Se wouldnt cannibalize the sales of their flagships. We all love our great phones but also our money.

Economist here. The demand function isn't only on a budget basis. I like it because it has a button. It's really that simple. I don't like the user interface of the more expensive iPhones. When I do buy a phone I max out storage, and it lasts me for a long time. I've had my current SE since early 2020. I've replaced the battery once, and it works like new. I plan to keep mine for at least another two or three more years.
I find myself wondering why very few reviewers are talking about the advantages of the iPhone SE 3 having LCD. Lots of people have issues with sensitivity to the PWM of OLED.
Forget affordable, my primary search criteria is SMALL. I have the first gen SE and I love the size. Nothing else I find is this small. Are there any Android phones that can match? I moved to Apple because Samsung decided to abandon the small form factor market. I hated the thought of going to Apple but figured I could get used to it. Since primary use is call, text and a few basic apps, it's worked out okay.
Honestly if you can find a good deal on the SE3, then it's still 100 percent worth buying even now. These phones can be found cheap for all that you get. Yes, you get a smaller and older display with a smaller battery. But, you also get a premium build quality, wireless charging, excellent speakers, updates for at least 5 more years, Touch ID and all the same Apple features. Saw these with Straight Talk going for $49 with a plan purchase and even now around $99. For that price it's an excellent value. Or even on the used market.
@@sabrinacasseus8783usually iPhones get at least 5 to 6 years of OS updates. Meaning you could get one now and be good at least until 2027 if not 2028. And that's not even factoring in security updates you still get after that.
Love my Se 3, got it slightly used for $150. I'm a moderate user, so battery more than last me a day. It's all the phone I need without spending 4x more on a new Iphone. Coming from an Xr and the smaller screen doesn't bother me at all.
@@nikitarealman4995 For the continued future software updates for the most part. After I purchased the Se, I traded in the Xr to Best Buy for $150, so I basically got the Se for free. I wouldn't have made the purchase if the asking price was $429, which is the price for a new Se.
I love the Iphone SE. I like the the camera bump is so small. I really think the pro models with the huge camera bump is really not great looking or feeling. Also i don't need all those cameras linses, since i'm just taking a photo once now and then. Also i love the home button and the haptick motor. I don't use any cover, so if i bought an expensive iphone i would have covers and screen protection on it, and that takes away the joy of just feeling the phone in your hand, and the look of it. But since it is cheaper i'm okay with no cover, and i've been having it for over a year and still looks great. Battery life and screen size is my only complain, and no night mode in photos also sucks.
The SE 3 is the only way to get a new iPhone if you’re one of the 10% of people who can’t use OLED due to PWM. Let’s pray the SE 4 will be LCD too! NeuralCam app gives the SE night mode!
Maybe for kids/older folks going into their first iPhone, or maybe someone who really wants to keep the classic Apple design. For most though I'd get one of the newer iPhones.
I love the SE. i use it for when I travel or just go to a theme park where it might get wet/etc and ain’t afraid that I’ll accidentally drop it. I just use it for text and talk
Currently using an SE 3 and the battery is underwhelming. I mainly use it for messaging and calls - need to charge 2x a day and if I play mobile games on my leisure time will have to charge it a 3rd time. Also, it heats up when I browse e-commerce sites (not sure why)
I wanna buy a SE 3 for $190 new on Amazon, it's locked but I only wanna use it as a Ipod, for music, vids and facetiming. Would you recommend that purchase? Or do I consider a SE 2 a bit cheaper but on the used market? Perhaps the bit better battery life and the extra gb of RAM is what got me thinking. Great vid!!!
@@santaclaus9918It was on a promotion from straight talk for a time, both on straight talk's website and walmart in-store for $49 for the phone + $45 for the required silver plan. You could've had it on the plan for the one month paid and just played with it on wifi or turned off on the 2nd month and it would've automatically unlocked around the 60th day when it connected to apple's servers. The sale is over now though.
Se’s would be perfect if apple made se4 like a 13 min and have 3k+ mAh. Imagine a handy an compact phone full screen display, face id flat round design
the best phone on a budget on the USED market. The new price of 429 dollars does not make sense anymore for this phone (in 2024) but they can be found used easily for less than 200 dollars in excellent condition. So for someone who does not mind buying used, this is a great option
Almost nobody talks about the phone signal and connectivity. It's almost like forgetting the priority reasons of buying a phone. So tell me , can at least a make and receive a descent quality call ? What about internet on this phone? What about internet? connection?
Making phone calls is fantastic. Connection is amazing you should totally get it. If you want some of the tests, just search how fast it is from an iPhone 13, it’s basically the same phone but a bigger screen with the same chip.
@@conspicuousrod4910 well I love that it has the a15 chipset it makes everything move faster with no lags & it also have a better battery than the se2 & I also love the fact that all the colors it comes in is beautiful
iPhone XR is still fine. In regard to if the se is better, the se has an a15 chip and is 5g capable. Xr has an a12 chip and is not 5g capable. SE will likely be supported a few years beyond the Xr.
If it's just social media and some lighter games, the XR is the more capable phone if you don't need 5G. Fullscreen, larger battery, more secure faceID. But only one or two ios upgrades and then just security upgrades after that. So 4years? I have the SE2022, and think it's not better than the XR IF I don't need 5G. But I just also like the SE3 feeling in the hand. This is coming from owning 5s, 6sPlus, X, XS Max, SE2, 12mini, 13 ProMax. I still have 13 ProMax, and just gifted my 12mini but use the SE3 everyday except on vacation. Someday when they come out with SE4, I'll get it only if it's a new version of 6sPlus, or X but single rear cam would be perfect for aesthetics and size, or XR. Anything else, I'll just stay with my SE3+13PM combination.
If you have charging, software trouble with phones, you have to do this: choose a new, activated SIM card, that can be out of service, if you want to. Insert the card in the bad phone. The card will shut down the phone, because it consumes high power during the phone activation. Connect the charger, and start the phone. You finished the phone activating. The process will remove the black display, turned display, and will enable the good charging, if your charging was bad. You can do this with any phone, and is not depending on the service of mobile providers, or locked, pin protected cards. The phone activation happens during boot, before the pin code, if the card asks for one. After that, you can use your card, that doesn’t ask activating, such as Vodafone.
Saw many smart old people not gamers buying this phone . No wonder it was one of the best selling iPhones since launch…people should stop talking abt the same old bring excuse that the design is outdated! Vintage is great and face I/d is not as secure as promoted as my friend managed to unlock his friend iPhone! Weird
same for me but the iphone se 3rd gen has been good so far just got it yesterday i had a 7 and 8 before it but this a15 bioinc chip is the boom but i havent had any issues with the battery but i only had it for 1day so idk but i would say get the iphone 11 if you dont want a button and touch id are get the iphone se if you want the button and touch id but also in 2025 the iphone 11 will stop being updated so if you want a long term phone with updates go with the se 3rd gen
I have a Samsung (the a54) it would be worth making the jump to this one in 2022 (I value the camera, for social media the software performances and well I like small cell phones) I must say that it would be my first iPhone
Why do all these reviews concentrate on camera quality and gaming? How about how they actually function for a pertinent use: mobile productivity. I’m a heavy user of Microsoft 365 mobile apps for work: Office, Outlook, OneDrive, Teams, etc. Reviewers never seem to test these real world practical scenarios, instead it’s all about taking photos and playing games.
Not trying to wind you up this is a genuine question. How would you like them to review that? Like you can objectively review performance, camera quality etc, how would you review their function for the use of the apps you’ve listed. None of those apps should have any problem functioning correctly on near enough any smart phone. I can’t think of a way that teams or one drive would work better on one phone than the other?
This is an ideal phone for women who have smaller hands and people who just want to carry a phone safely in trouser pocket. All other phone are too wide for my handspan.
The se is cool , I just came off the se 22 after about 2years the only downside for that phone is the battery life but I hear the 3rd gen se has a better battery but not sure if it’s true. I got mine through straight talk wireless at Walmart they got good coverage and phones for less then you would find other places
I want a smaller phone but cannot tolerate OLED screens (eye strain). At this point I might have to retire my iPhone 11 for the SE 2022. Obviously I'd prefer the 13 Mini.
my dad had the same requirements, he was moving from an iPhone 5s and didn't want the full-screen ones, so the SE 2022 was the best choice for him. Considered the Mini, but he wasn't a fan of the full-screen design.
I’m downgrading from my Iphone 12 to this Iphone to lower my screen time I did the math and if it motivates me to quit excessive scrolling for like 40 min a day and I use that time to work overtime that’s like a $4,000.00 win over the year 😂
Thanks a lot for watching! For a dedicated video on the iPhone SE's camera performance, check out our video: ruclips.net/video/7WvXYkf_PTw/видео.html

When I do buy a phone I max out storage, and it lasts me for a long time. I've had my current SE since early 2020. I've replaced the battery once, and it works like new. I plan to keep mine for at least another two or three more years.
I find myself wondering why very few reviewers are talking about the advantages of the iPhone SE 3 having LCD. Lots of people have issues with sensitivity to the PWM of OLED.
I love this phone so much that I got it even after having a 14 I phone this is so handy guys just go for it I wanna buy it one more time 😅
I’m watching it on my SE that I’ve had for 3 years lmaooo
Do you think if the phone is for free and is used for business purposes (phone calls only and ocasional Internet use) is a good deal?
of course, it's best suited for moderate use like that imo.
Yeah it's a great deal..
I really love this new I Phone SE third generation I also really love the older IPhone 5 S model I Phone too
Forget affordable, my primary search criteria is SMALL. I have the first gen SE and I love the size. Nothing else I find is this small. Are there any Android phones that can match?
I moved to Apple because Samsung decided to abandon the small form factor market. I hated the thought of going to Apple but figured I could get used to it. Since primary use is call, text and a few basic apps, it's worked out okay.
good info
I'd love to get a SE 2022 but the only issue is the battery life. It won't last more than 5 hours.
1 hour a day is a lot, but 5 …wow …folks we need To repent
That hasn’t been my experience, I get a full day even with battery health down to 89%
Yes. We do…
Are you streaming in five hours?
@@bendermi 😅good question
iPhone XS and SE 3 still my favourite and the best design im not fan of bigger phones so yeah.. i prefer smaller size
Honestly if you can find a good deal on the SE3, then it's still 100 percent worth buying even now. These phones can be found cheap for all that you get. Yes, you get a smaller and older display with a smaller battery. But, you also get a premium build quality, wireless charging, excellent speakers, updates for at least 5 more years, Touch ID and all the same Apple features. Saw these with Straight Talk going for $49 with a plan purchase and even now around $99. For that price it's an excellent value. Or even on the used market.
Do you know when this phone will stop receiving iOS updates? I’m thinking about buying it
@@sabrinacasseus8783usually iPhones get at least 5 to 6 years of OS updates. Meaning you could get one now and be good at least until 2027 if not 2028. And that's not even factoring in security updates you still get after that.
@@sabrinacasseus8783based on Apple's supporting recent iPhones 5 years my guess would be it'll get iOS updates until 2027.
Love my Se 3, got it slightly used for $150. I'm a moderate user, so battery more than last me a day. It's all the phone I need without spending 4x more on a new Iphone. Coming from an Xr and the smaller screen doesn't bother me at all.
glad you're loving it!
Why u change xr to se?
@@nikitarealman4995 For the continued future software updates for the most part. After I purchased the Se, I traded in the Xr to Best Buy for $150, so I basically got the Se for free. I wouldn't have made the purchase if the asking price was $429, which is the price for a new Se.
@@nikitarealman4995SE 3 was released later than X
whered you get it for $150 😭😭😭😭
I love the Iphone SE. I like the the camera bump is so small. I really think the pro models with the huge camera bump is really not great looking or feeling. Also i don't need all those cameras linses, since i'm just taking a photo once now and then. Also i love the home button and the haptick motor. I don't use any cover, so if i bought an expensive iphone i would have covers and screen protection on it, and that takes away the joy of just feeling the phone in your hand, and the look of it. But since it is cheaper i'm okay with no cover, and i've been having it for over a year and still looks great. Battery life and screen size is my only complain, and no night mode in photos also sucks.
I went for one as it’s still the smaller size and I have small hands. Most people I know don’t like how phones are getting being bigger.
The SE 3 is the only way to get a new iPhone if you’re one of the 10% of people who can’t use OLED due to PWM.
Let’s pray the SE 4 will be LCD too!
NeuralCam app gives the SE night mode!
There wont be an se 4...discontinued
@@jimmyjameson8705lol fake news 🗞️ go Google again.. latest will be out on either 2024 or 2025
@@jimmyjameson8705coming up next year - worried that everyone is saying it’ll have an OLED screen!😡
These were flagship specs and design once
1:32 what game is that? Looks interesting. Thanks.
that's Monster hunter stories.
Do you recommend this phone for someone first iPhone?
Maybe for kids/older folks going into their first iPhone, or maybe someone who really wants to keep the classic Apple design. For most though I'd get one of the newer iPhones.
Just brought this for my 10 year old son hope he likes it ❤
Apple should just bring back the 5s form factor in the SE. Just install newer or second newest processor in it.
I love the SE. i use it for when I travel or just go to a theme park where it might get wet/etc and ain’t afraid that I’ll accidentally drop it. I just use it for text and talk
Just got me the product red !!
I got mine for $200. Yeah, well worth it. a powerful processor, good camera and should get updates at least 3 more years.
Currently using an SE 3 and the battery is underwhelming. I mainly use it for messaging and calls - need to charge 2x a day and if I play mobile games on my leisure time will have to charge it a 3rd time.
Also, it heats up when I browse e-commerce sites (not sure why)
Too. Much. Screen. Time.❤
Yeah the iPhone 15 pro needs to be charged 2-3 times a day. Nothing new with the weak iPhone batteries.🪫
@@fedee276truth!
It basically ain't a Heavy duty iPhone...
If you haven't already, turn off background app refresh, and turn off location. This will help battery life improve.
SE 3 has the same chips of the 13 and 14
What was that game brother?
I wanna buy a SE 3 for $190 new on Amazon, it's locked but I only wanna use it as a Ipod, for music, vids and facetiming. Would you recommend that purchase? Or do I consider a SE 2 a bit cheaper but on the used market? Perhaps the bit better battery life and the extra gb of RAM is what got me thinking. Great vid!!!
Got mine 99$ with straight talk unlocked
@@JellyGlows where u got it? I heard that on Walmart they are super cheap!
@@santaclaus9918It was on a promotion from straight talk for a time, both on straight talk's website and walmart in-store for $49 for the phone + $45 for the required silver plan. You could've had it on the plan for the one month paid and just played with it on wifi or turned off on the 2nd month and it would've automatically unlocked around the 60th day when it connected to apple's servers.
The sale is over now though.
Does it heat much after 6 months. That's what I wanted to hear from you.
I wouldn't say it heats much.
The one and only reason to get this phone is for the home button… give me a iPhone 14 or 15 with a home button and you would sell millions of them ..
Se’s would be perfect if apple made se4 like a 13 min and have 3k+ mAh. Imagine a handy an compact phone full screen display, face id flat round design
The xr design with simple modifications, the 7 plus or 8 design, the xs design, and the xs max design, all of them will succeed
@@فارسالتميمي-ع7غ but I like it more to be as small as X or 11 pro. With 3k mAh with single cam like an XR
Awesome. And oh, I noticed that Greg McKeown.
1:45 what was that game?
Monster Hunter Stories
the best phone on a budget on the USED market. The new price of 429 dollars does not make sense anymore for this phone (in 2024) but they can be found used easily for less than 200 dollars in excellent condition. So for someone who does not mind buying used, this is a great option
now possible to get in £150 ?
Will this work well for seniors?
I would say so. Works perfectly for my dad.
I have a power bank I got for $20 and it can charge the phone twice. So honestly I’ll keep it for another year at least
can't buy this phone but i would love to, My work is doing delivery all day in city and the battery of SE can't handle this hustle.
I have a 2024 Toyota. Will the SE 3 work fluidly with apple CarPlay ?
Got these for my 9 year old daughters if they can take care of these I’ll upgrade in the future. But for now these phones work awesome
Is it still worth to buy?
Almost nobody talks about the phone signal and connectivity. It's almost like forgetting the priority reasons of buying a phone.
So tell me , can at least a make and receive a descent quality call ?
What about internet on this phone?
What about internet? connection?
Making phone calls is fantastic. Connection is amazing you should totally get it. If you want some of the tests, just search how fast it is from an iPhone 13, it’s basically the same phone but a bigger screen with the same chip.
i like small phones why have tablet in my pocket
I have 2 se3s I wanted the starlight but I ended up getting product red first then a few months later I went & got the midnight I love my se3s
If I may ask, what do you love about the SE 2022?
Thinking about purchasing one.
@@conspicuousrod4910 well I love that it has the a15 chipset it makes everything move faster with no lags & it also have a better battery than the se2 & I also love the fact that all the colors it comes in is beautiful
Is the iPhone XR still good? I just upgraded from an iPhone 6
Also, is the iPhone SE better than the XR?
iPhone XR is still fine. In regard to if the se is better, the se has an a15 chip and is 5g capable. Xr has an a12 chip and is not 5g capable. SE will likely be supported a few years beyond the Xr.
If it's just social media and some lighter games, the XR is the more capable phone if you don't need 5G. Fullscreen, larger battery, more secure faceID. But only one or two ios upgrades and then just security upgrades after that. So 4years?
I have the SE2022, and think it's not better than the XR IF I don't need 5G. But I just also like the SE3 feeling in the hand. This is coming from owning 5s, 6sPlus, X, XS Max, SE2, 12mini, 13 ProMax. I still have 13 ProMax, and just gifted my 12mini but use the SE3 everyday except on vacation.
Someday when they come out with SE4, I'll get it only if it's a new version of 6sPlus, or X but single rear cam would be perfect for aesthetics and size, or XR. Anything else, I'll just stay with my SE3+13PM combination.

@@emredi1 Thanks
Without playing games, how long does it last?
5hrs sot
Is it worthy Upgrading from xr to se 3 in 2023 ?
Obviosusly, first of all you will see the battery is much better and the camera is upgraded, buuuuuut you wont have face id if u liked it.
Is this phone good for content creating? As a musician
It appears that Apple has abandoned earphone capability. Nowhere do I find any mention of it.
If you have charging, software trouble with phones, you have to do this: choose a new, activated SIM card, that can be out of service, if you want to. Insert the card in the bad phone. The card will shut down the phone, because it consumes high power during the phone activation. Connect the charger, and start the phone. You finished the phone activating. The process will remove the black display, turned display, and will enable the good charging, if your charging was bad. You can do this with any phone, and is not depending on the service of mobile providers, or locked, pin protected cards. The phone activation happens during boot, before the pin code, if the card asks for one. After that, you can use your card, that doesn’t ask activating, such as Vodafone.
The battery and screen are underwhelming, but I guess you get a snappy SoC, decent cameras albeit only 2 cameras, and iOS updates 🤷♂️
Apple missed an opportunity for a better display here
@@TeamVRY they should have made the screen the size of the iphone 8 plus with better battery life and i would get this phone in a heartbeat!
They should add more battery life and more gb
Saw many smart old people not gamers buying this phone . No wonder it was one of the best selling iPhones since launch…people should stop talking abt the same old bring excuse that the design is outdated! Vintage is great and face I/d is not as secure as promoted as my friend managed to unlock his friend iPhone! Weird
O couldn't choose between a SE 3rd gen and a Iphone 11....
Please, someone help.
same for me but the iphone se 3rd gen has been good so far just got it yesterday i had a 7 and 8 before it but this a15 bioinc chip is the boom but i havent had any issues with the battery but i only had it for 1day so idk but i would say get the iphone 11 if you dont want a button and touch id are get the iphone se if you want the button and touch id but also in 2025 the iphone 11 will stop being updated so if you want a long term phone with updates go with the se 3rd gen
The 11 is big with the new interface. The SE3 has a button and can be held in one hand. I think the se3 will be supported for longer
Im still have iphone 7 as a main driver i wish i can upgrade to se 3
If they made the se with the 8 plus build it would be an amazing iPhone
I have a Samsung (the a54) it would be worth making the jump to this one in 2022 (I value the camera, for social media the software performances and well I like small cell phones) I must say that it would be my first iPhone
Would it still be worth it if I was using the 6S in 2024 and I wanted to upgrade?
Yes
Why do all these reviews concentrate on camera quality and gaming? How about how they actually function for a pertinent use: mobile productivity. I’m a heavy user of Microsoft 365 mobile apps for work: Office, Outlook, OneDrive, Teams, etc. Reviewers never seem to test these real world practical scenarios, instead it’s all about taking photos and playing games.
Not trying to wind you up this is a genuine question. How would you like them to review that? Like you can objectively review performance, camera quality etc, how would you review their function for the use of the apps you’ve listed. None of those apps should have any problem functioning correctly on near enough any smart phone. I can’t think of a way that teams or one drive would work better on one phone than the other?
This is an ideal phone for women who have smaller hands and people who just want to carry a phone safely in trouser pocket. All other phone are too wide for my handspan.
I have this phone. Maybe I got a dud cause it overheats and is slow. Only reason I keep it is I hate the idea of no physical home button
The se is cool , I just came off the se 22 after about 2years the only downside for that phone is the battery life but I hear the 3rd gen se has a better battery but not sure if it’s true. I got mine through straight talk wireless at Walmart they got good coverage and phones for less then you would find other places
A new iPhone 12 on Amazon is only 80 more , an iPhone 13 is 120 more , given how long these things last , you can’t recommend the SE
I want a smaller phone but cannot tolerate OLED screens (eye strain). At this point I might have to retire my iPhone 11 for the SE 2022. Obviously I'd prefer the 13 Mini.
my dad had the same requirements, he was moving from an iPhone 5s and didn't want the full-screen ones, so the SE 2022 was the best choice for him. Considered the Mini, but he wasn't a fan of the full-screen design.
Smaller size is it BIGGEST advantage. Tired of carrying such large phones.
Just a better battery will make this phone a beast!
I’m downgrading from my Iphone 12 to this Iphone to lower my screen time I did the math and if it motivates me to quit excessive scrolling for like 40 min a day and I use that time to work overtime that’s like a $4,000.00 win over the year 😂
🤔So, this is an upgrade from my 5s?
Yes
😮i would got if batery like more higher mah power
Someone who wants a compact phone can choose the 13 Mini instead of the iPhone SE 3, which makes more sense.
I just got the se 3rd gen brand new for $100, I am upgrading from a iPhone 6s. I think it should be an upgrade for sure?!
It will be absolutely better
