I'm probably the last person you'd expect to see with an SE- I'm young, in IT, very techy, etc. I _should_ want the top flagship, hell I should probably be rocking an S22 ultra with a custom ROM or something. People, coworkers especially, seem pretty surprised when I pull out this little smol boi 😅 I absolutely love it though, the SE is a total sleeper. It's fast, takes great pics, I can reach every part of the screen with my little elf hands, and no OLED screen so I don't get headaches. Seriously the only thing missing is night mode.
I'm in my mid 30'ies, software engineer and have been working in the same job for 10 years. I still have a 6s, so don't feel bad 😅. But agree on all your points. It's always funny that the reviewers point at the camera lens and say it's from iPhone 8. Unless it is the same part number, it isn't, and it would be insane to think that Apple would keep the exact same sensor when sensitivity of these is ever increasing and price is decreasing. Of course they don't.
Same thing here, i went from a Xs that got terminally damaged to a SE 2022, im loving it and don't miss Face ID or the gestures. Really brings me back to my iPhone 5 days.
Seriously. The joy of using a device this small cannot be overstated. I have the SE (3rd Gen), and I also recently picked up a Pixel 7. The Pixel is a beast but this thing is a brick (the new iPhones are the same way). I hate how phones have all gotten exorbitantly large.
Personally i got the SE 3, really like the phone, my main reason for picking it over the 11 was the A15 chip and, well being 2 years newer, as i plan on keeping it for years to come.
I got my iPhone 11 in March 2021 I upgraded from 7 Plus and I definitely do not plan on upgrading for at least another 2yrs or when it stops working completely / getting updates I love this phone 💯
Regarding camera, the SE 3 takes better pictures except in extreme low light situations. A lot of reviews just point both phones at specifically near pitch black environment and announce 11 is better as it has night mode. But in well-lit to moderately dark environment where night mode is not yet triggered, the SE 3 takes better pictures with higher sharpness, brighter colors and less noise. I believe the 'dog picture' example may not be the most representative due to the difference in perspective and focus point, in the SE picture there is a significant distance between the nose and the face making the picture out of focus, whereas the 11 could focus on the flat side profile of the dogs face. Also taking pictures of pets itself introduces a lot of variables as it moves unpredictably. Also disagree with your verdict on the target audience of the SE's design. Saying it is only for boomers, people who 'don't know anything more than what they have used' and people who 'don't care' is such unfair bias and derogatory to those who genuinely like the design of the SE better.
So for your last point there- I didn't mean to be condescending, very sorry if it came across that way. That's why I tried to emphasize the second group of people that 'don't care' not in a bad way, but more as in they don't need the newer style or even prefer the home button. Nothing wrong with that. Perhaps could've phrased it better. As for the pictures, it's hard to keep my dog still so inevitably there are going to be some advantages to one phone or the other on any individual picture taken. I agree extreme low light situations are not necessarily indicative of the overall low-light experience; however it is an easy way to show how night-mode works and how the 11 does things better in that regard. From other photos I've taken not included here I was consistently finding the 11 was better lit and more detailed than the SE, which typically tended to soften things to the extreme to try to hide the noise- that picture I took of the balcony light is a good example, as the shadows around the light look much worse on the SE than the 11. The 11 just has an objectively better camera sensor, and while the power of the SE compensates impressively well the 11 ultimately has more to work with and *should* provide a better photo in general situations. Even so, I tried to emphasize the SE wasn't bad at all and really impressive considering the hardware. Not a bad phone, just one I think is overpriced for the overall package compared to the 11 or better.
Agreed, I consider myself a tech enthusiast and chose the second generation se when it was out for a few months because it’s simple, cheap, light and SO pocketable. It does everything I need a phone to do and I plan on keeping it for a very long time, changing the battery when I need to. I don’t want to upgrade for the sake of upgrading, being a tech enthusiast does not neccesarily mean you need to have the latest and greatest tech.
My grandfather has the SE 2 and he loves it, plus I reckon these SEs are going to be dirt cheap on the used market in a few years, just like the 2016 one is now.
I love my iPhone 11. Bought it when it was the newest iPhone on the market and even if the iPhone 14 is out I don't feel like I need to upgrade anytime soon. Still sitting on iOS 14.7.1 while being jailbroken with a hell of a good tweak support, getting all the cool new features from iOS 15 and 16. iOS 14 is just awesome with the huge tweak support, that still sadly lacks in 15 and 16 as far as I heard about it. And anything else works still very fast and without any problems. The LCD display doesn't bother me much, since I am not used to OLED screens beside my PSVita. Best thing is that I can still easily repair it myself without any problems like FaceID not working or whatsoever. Holding as long as I can onto it :)
I really love my SE2022 since I am not a heavy user the battery isn’t my concern. A15 is superb and its camera is amazing. Small screen is a bit disappointed at first, but my eyes get along with it after few days.
5G is worthless, especially on the SE which doesn’t even support the 5G flavor that’s worth bragging rights and the A15 is not going to produce anything noticeable in your day to day.
7:50 Wow! That’s crazy your grandpa still has a 5S. Props to him for making it last. I know it probably pains you knowing there’s so many better options out there for him. I would argue saying the 11 is a great upgrade for him. Simply for the bigger and brighter screen. Plus better battery.
I need a backup phone. I still have my old 12 pro max as my primary phone, so I’ll go for the se3. My biggest problem form upgrading from the iPhone 8 was the lack of Touch ID. So the se fixes this hole while the 11 is just a watered down version of the phone I already have.
Still rocking with my iphone 8. It runs everything what i need smoothly and i just love this design, touch id is the thing imo 😃 changed battery to it and i can’t be more happier. Cost me 130€ year ago so i think price/value is good with this one 👍
I'm planning to try iPhone for the first time, Im young, im using Samsung galaxy device from the upper mid-segment, I'm using gestures and all modern features but somehow I'm so attracted by that SE old design and I find myself that I would be more happy to have SE than moder iphone.
@@shadow_tagz1116 I plan on getting the 14 pro when it comes out, but will definitely be keeping the 11 pro as a backup in case anything happens. It’s a great phone.
The iPhone SE 2/3, 11 and even Xr are still very important for us 10% who can’t use OLED due to PWM. Must admit I’m watching this on my 8 Plus, which I’ll keep another year or two.
Thanks for the great review! I have mixed feelings here regarding the iPhone SE3. I like it because of its iconic design, the fact that it's (probably) the last iPhone with the Home button, and it just has that retro feeling that we'll be missing in a few years. And oh, yeah, it's a powerhouse with that A15 chip. Major drawbacks are the battery life, no Night Mode, and the price. I'm thinking of getting one just to have it in my private collection as the last and strongest "iPhone 6" since that's the original design that remained with us for so many years.
@L. G. Yeah, I agree. But that’s because iPhone 6 was the most popular iPhone (iPhone with most sales), and then we had iPhone 6S, 7, and then 8. So this design is definitely an iconic one. And now that it’s retro will be missed definitely.
added an SE 3 to my collection today, so far am enjoying using it. the nostalgia of the older phones is unreal. makes me miss my 2020 SE that i shouldn’t have traded.
I just upgraded from the 7 to 11 I had the choice between the 11 and se 3 but I chose the 11 it’s bigger better camera and just nicer super happy with my choice!
@@itssbba9627 ahh ok cause I have a the se 2020 and the battery is barley lasting me 5 hours. The other day I charged it to 47 and a hour later it was on 10% from music playing...
The iPhone SE 3 was never actually meant to be compared head to head with the other iPhones. It is mainly used to lure in more customers from developing markets such as India. Already the iPhone SE 2 has made record sales last year (in India).
That's mostly because iPhones are ridiculously expensive in india The 11 costs $670 in 2022 in india The se 3 costs $580 (As did the se 2 when it launched) The 13 mini $950 and the 13 pro $1700 People try to get the cheapest one even if it's not cheap at all I ve been recommending people to get the XR over the se if they want a starter iPhone
I love my second gen SE that ive used for the past two years. But I do want more screen real-estate and also want to experience the 120hz refresh rate. So I will wait and see what the new 14 pro is like!
I had a 13 pro and while the high refresh rate is nice, it unfortunately makes all of your other devices that don't have it feel awful as your eyes get trained to expect 120 hz so 60 hz feels extremely slow. When I realized this was happening, I disabled it.
@@neilsaeroadventures1116 understandable! Thats i how feel with my computer at home. All three monitors are over 120hz so when i use my 60hz monitor at work, it feels so sluggish
As a first time Apple user, I bought the SE3 as I could not get my head around the £250 price difference. Gonna upgrade to that red mini when the price drops after the release of the 15.
was hesitating between iPhone 11 and SE , chose the SE 3 because of Smart HDR 4, A15 and 5G but sometimes i'm thinking, if i would have choosen the 11 i would have a better screen, night mode, better front camera, but a 3 years old phone, no 5g and a less powerful chip
@@ChuksOlisama In fact, I've just bought the 11 -- sold my SE to a family member for an incredible price. What I said was true, except: - I got 5G just... one time ( In Paris and my battery literally DIED ) -- so I don't care ( yet ) - Smart HDR 2 ( on 11 series ) is as good as SH4 - A13 is still powerful and as snappy as A15 on my SE The screen is effectively better, so is the front camera, design, battery, unlocking technology, etc... Guys, take an 11 if you're hesitating, yes it's 3 years old, but for me, I couldn't stand the 4.7' screen and the old design anymore. (Note : I was coming from an X, never could get used to the SE in fact )
@@ChuksOlisama If it's your first iPhone, no problem, as I said, coming from an X it was very hard. Anyways, iPhones are always a good choice. Have fun
I got mine for my birthday in March 2023. I got it with a carrier deal. I got the iPhone 11 black color 64 GB four gigs of RAM for free when I switched over to metro by T-Mobile appreciate the deal is already over but I only paid $117 in taxes and fees and the device was free.
my wife and i now have an SE 2022 and we are happy AF and the camera is something we just dont care as long as it can take photos and scan QR codes in restaurants, thats all we need LOL, we play mobile games like genshin/honkai, ragnarok, anime games etc, and we are very pleased with the A15 chip and glad that we can use Big monitors and controllers to play while using the phone while watching a bigger monitor eheheehe
Hey Josh, how u doin'? My 1st comment here but imma subscriber since forever. This video helps me a lot with my decision of change my VERY old 6s into a iPhone 11. Love ur work, please never consider quit YT because you r one of the best in the platform. Huge hug from BR.
I still have the 2017 SE. Looking at the 2022 SE. Each year it seems like "they" have turned down the dial on cell reception. Just updated to 15.7 whatever and now it "appears" that I have at best one bar reception at home, which works out to NO reception at home. Even using WiFi. Maybe I'm just cynical. When I first got my SE in 2017 I consistently had three to four bars and never dropped a call. Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? I use my phone as a phone, not a gaming console, a pro camera/ wide screen tv. I like that even in an Otter Box case it still fits in my shirt pocket. Given the popularity of this small, high quality phone I don't think I'm alone out here. If reception stayed up and I had a new battery I wouldn't be buying a new phone now. Obviously lots of people want a big screen and all the bells and whistles so it's great that they make the high end phones. The 2022 SE fits my bill ( in more ways than one ) Great review, love the channel
To be completely honest, I am perfectly more than OK with the LTE of the iPhone 11 I think it’s one of the faster LTE connection to get for any flagship device plus Wi-Fi six and the years of support still left blows any mid range android found out of the water, considering the fact that it is around $400 an hour and the fact that I got this phone for free through metro back in March it’s a plus… I’m pretty sure LTE will still be supported in till 2030 maybe a few years after 2030
I am a user of Apple and its ecosystem. The iPhone SE 3 is not for me, because I am a publicist and the iPhone 13 Pro Max is an excellent work tool for me, but since the iPhone SE has its users or fans, of course it does. I have also heard that it is selling very well. My 3 teenage sons each have an iPhone 11 and didn't want to upgrade this year because they're too comfortable with the iPhone 11. They don't like the iPhone SE because of its size. The iPhone SE is for people who like to have a very small device.
I really wish they'd make a se+ or something in the iPhone 8+ body because I would scoop that up in a heartbeat. I don't think Apple wanted to cannibalize the rest of the iPhone lineup though. I can see why they didn't but it's definitely needed. I guess I'm getting the 14 pro max when it comes out. I really hate the notch.
I have the se2 atm and looking into an upgrade that’ll last me until microled iPhones become a thing, since we don’t know how long that’ll take I think I’ll get the SE3 for longevity sake . Nice comparison though! Really made me consider the 11
I used an se2 up until recently and would have kept it much longer if I hadn't destroyed the camera by mounting it to my Motorcycle.. probably would have gotten another or a 3 but I was offered a 13 pro for about the same price. Definitely miss the smaller form factor though.. hell I'd still use my gen1 SE if I could!
I feel like the iPhone XR/11 will eventually become the new iPhone SE in the near future. If not the iPhone XR/11 then the iPhone 12/13 mini will be the new iPhone SE design
For me battery life is not a big deal we have power bank magsafe and a case for se that supported magsafe too. Se is the beast for me because you have a15
It's rather devious of you to use Cola as a reason to not skip the sponsor message. I too have a Dachshund and just can't resist their overload of cuteness. Great job.
Airpods 2 in 2022 I’m bout to buy some on apr 16 cause it’s my birthday and I’m seeing if there worth the 99$ price and you are a person who knows best
Nice video man ! I’m owner of iphone 11, and it’s not bad phone but it’s not great either. Face id not working properly at the times… If you want new phone just skip 11.
Nah, the se 3 is the better phone but that’s only if you are gonna buy new instead of used. Because you can get a used iPhone 12 or 12 mini for around the same price or less than a brand new iPhone 11 from apple.
Honestly it depends on your personal needs and stuff. I prefer an iPhone 6S on IOS 12. It's just perfect for me. Even if the home button doesn't work that's ok.
I also still use a iphone 5s it works great actually faster than my 2020 samsung galaxy a12 which is pretty insane considering the 5s is almost 10 years old I have it on ios12.5.7 and it works great I have a older version of instagram because I just updated it it was on ios 10.3.3 when I got it from my friend when he got a iphone 11 I like home button iphones because it's more simple I have used a newer iphone my brothers iphone xr it was fine but I prefer a iphone with a home button it gets the job done might get a 3rd gen iphone se because it has the home button don't care the camera isn't as good it does work fine I'm still impressed by the 5s camera mainly because it's a old phone the 5s camera is better than my samsung galaxy a12 and my a12 has a 12 megapixel my 5s has a 8 megapixel and it works great that's all I'm commenting so have a great day and stay safe
I have iPhone 7 (my first Apple phone) and I’m starting to look for replacement, unfortunately I don’t know which of the new iPhones to buy…I’m thinking about 12 or 13 mini since they’re small, but I still don’t know…
The mini series are slightly bigger than a iphone 5/se 2016. So keep that in mind. I would go for the regular 13 when buying off apple since you get 128gb standard while on the 13 base is still 64 gb.
Got an se 2 in october 2023 had it 4 months but i want the 13 pro. The 120 hz and oled display sells me i would say 14 but i dont really like how dynamic island looks
Not nuts about cameras or anything superficial like looks. I'd definitely just go for the SE 3 if I really needed an iPhone, but that's irrelevant because Android devices can go for such great prices.
I bought my SE2 last year, and I don’t want to update cuz it runs smoothly everything i need. Maybe I will update it, when the battery capacity will be super-low and it’ll be super slow. (sorry for my english,lol)
Then it would no longer be the iPhone SE. Apple's budget iPhone. If you want Oled and MagSafe for that there are the other iPhones that cost more. That's all Apple can offer you for that price. If you ask for more, it makes it more expensive.
The comparison doesn't provide practical applicability. No UI experience comparison in different applications (web browsers, music players, video viewers, PDF viewers (vertical/horizontal). Just one more pointless comparison on RUclips.
If I was to choose I would rather go for the iPhone 13 mini no offense but I want as many years of software updates as possible. That will be my personal choice also The iPhone SE 2022 is a great phone for those upgrading from the iPhone 8 to it I cannot justify recommending the 11 over the Sé 2022 because you lose at least two years of software updates from that phone which means you would need to upgrade sooner rather than later and it could be more expensive down the road
@@fijiwill2237 actually I know people who keep it for six years Depends on the person but personally I would still choose the 13 series basically for the camera set up and one TB of storage and trust me I do use a lot of storage. I also do have an iPhone 11 Pro Max it’s a good phone but unless you could get it cheaper at 512 GB for me it doesn’t make sense to save a couple hundred dollars by going to the 11 and many people do love The old fashion SE style and probably will buy that phone. Like the author of the video said If you want the 11 it’s a good phone but if you could afford a little bit more go for the 12 or 13 mini or if you prefer the classic style go for the iPhone Se
@@richard5981 most people use their phone for 6 year cuz the phone is good like iphone x or iphone 6 is ahead their time . The se 3 design is 6 year behind its time so I dont think most people will keep it over 3 year just like most people have sold their se 2.
@@poggers1568 I dont see why im not gonna keep my SE 3 for atleast 5 years, sure the design is outdated, but that doesnt make it any less of a capable phone, it has everything i need in a phone.
I can see that perspective... I think the camera is an aspect of a phone most people are concerned about, which is why I wanted to focus on it (especially for a comparison like this). But, I tried to give a good portion of time to other important things like performance and battery life, aspects equally if not more important to many of us out there.
I’m going to be upgrading from my 2016 SE in the fall, and I’m torn between the 2022 SE and the XS Max. This video, though not the exact pair I’m torn between, was still really helpful.
If you haven't bought one of those already, I'd suggest buying SE 2022. XS Max has A12 bionic chip which will get updates for only 2-3 more years but the SE 2022's A15 bionic chip will last you for more than 5 more years of updates, plus it's a 5G phone
@@Toy_In_Tub That’s why, logically, the SE3 makes more sense to me. However, the SE3 is just the phone I already have with better performance and battery. I’ve wanted the XS Max since it came out in 2018, and when the 11 dropped 3D Touch and didn’t do anything major outside the cameras, it made me covet the XS even more. The SE3 makes more sense, but the XS Max has been my dream phone since 2018.
@@sfgrgfsf212 A friend was upgrading, and I was able to buy their XR off of them. I’ve had it for nearly six months now. My dad also recently got the 2022 SE, and comparing the two, the XR is nicer.

7:50 Wow! That’s crazy your grandpa still has a 5S. Props to him for making it last. I know it probably pains you knowing there’s so many better options out there for him. I would argue saying the 11 is a great upgrade for him. Simply for the bigger and brighter screen. Plus better battery.
traded my 12 mini for an SE 3 today, couldn’t be happier. Like having the home button back and a pocketable size but with a readable screen
Exactly same. iOS just feels crushed in the 12/13 mini.
Yup,I did the same.
@@KazeHorse that’s what my main problem was. Just feels cramped
iPhone 12 mini has a more pocketable size and larger readable screen
The 12 mini is every bit as pocketable as it is smaller than the SE 3 in overall size.
I need a backup phone. I still have my old 12 pro max as my primary phone, so I’ll go for the se3. My biggest problem form upgrading from the iPhone 8 was the lack of Touch ID. So the se fixes this hole while the 11 is just a watered down version of the phone I already have.
the iPhone SE is pretty reasonable especially for the price in my opinion (camera, chip and speed)
Still rocking with my iphone 8. It runs everything what i need smoothly and i just love this design, touch id is the thing imo 😃 changed battery to it and i can’t be more happier. Cost me 130€ year ago so i think price/value is good with this one 👍
That’s great enjoy your iphone
The ios16 is going to be game charger. You might want to upgrade or not.
nice knowing people using their phone more than its battery life span 🙂

Your reviews are cool and very down to earth. Subscribing was one of the best decisions I've made.
Thank you, really appreciate that!
I'm planning to try iPhone for the first time, Im young, im using Samsung galaxy device from the upper mid-segment, I'm using gestures and all modern features but somehow I'm so attracted by that SE old design and I find myself that I would be more happy to have SE than moder iphone.
Still using my 11 pro from the launch window. Besides battery health, still a champ!
I bet getting it replaced will make it seem brand new! The 11 pro is a fantastic device
@@shadow_tagz1116 I plan on getting the 14 pro when it comes out, but will definitely be keeping the 11 pro as a backup in case anything happens.
It’s a great phone.
The iPhone SE 2/3, 11 and even Xr are still very important for us 10% who can’t use OLED due to PWM.
Must admit I’m watching this on my 8 Plus, which I’ll keep another year or two.
Do you still have your 8 Plus?
Thanks for the great review!
I have mixed feelings here regarding the iPhone SE3.
I like it because of its iconic design, the fact that it's (probably) the last iPhone with the Home button, and it just has that retro feeling that we'll be missing in a few years. And oh, yeah, it's a powerhouse with that A15 chip.
Major drawbacks are the battery life, no Night Mode, and the price.
I'm thinking of getting one just to have it in my private collection as the last and strongest "iPhone 6" since that's the original design that remained with us for so many years.
@L. G. Yeah, I agree. But that’s because iPhone 6 was the most popular iPhone (iPhone with most sales), and then we had iPhone 6S, 7, and then 8. So this design is definitely an iconic one.
And now that it’s retro will be missed definitely.
It’s more like the iPhone 8 or even 7 than the 6. Only thing about the 6 that’s the same is the screen size
added an SE 3 to my collection today, so far am enjoying using it. the nostalgia of the older phones is unreal. makes me miss my 2020 SE that i shouldn’t have traded.
I have the newest se, and I have nightmode
Going to do the same thing haha, i think of it now as the definitive iPhone 6 with that retro design and the last home button iPhone
I just upgraded from the 7 to 11 I had the choice between the 11 and se 3 but I chose the 11 it’s bigger better camera and just nicer super happy with my choice!
How is the battery life?

@@itssbba9627 thanks for all your help ❤️
The iPhone SE 3 was never actually meant to be compared head to head with the other iPhones. It is mainly used to lure in more customers from developing markets such as India. Already the iPhone SE 2 has made record sales last year (in India).
Kills in Japan too. SE3 is ripping sales over there building on the SE2 success.
Reaaaallly
That's mostly because iPhones are ridiculously expensive in india
The 11 costs $670 in 2022 in india
The se 3 costs $580
(As did the se 2 when it launched)
The 13 mini $950 and the 13 pro $1700
People try to get the cheapest one even if it's not cheap at all
I ve been recommending people to get the XR over the se if they want a starter iPhone
@@Phoenix-King-ozai yah that is because of tax right?
I love my second gen SE that ive used for the past two years. But I do want more screen real-estate and also want to experience the 120hz refresh rate. So I will wait and see what the new 14 pro is like!
More screen??? Go buy a tablet then.
@@longwalksguidemenerdwalk8866 Bozo
I had a 13 pro and while the high refresh rate is nice, it unfortunately makes all of your other devices that don't have it feel awful as your eyes get trained to expect 120 hz so 60 hz feels extremely slow. When I realized this was happening, I disabled it.
@@neilsaeroadventures1116 understandable! Thats i how feel with my computer at home. All three monitors are over 120hz so when i use my 60hz monitor at work, it feels so sluggish
As a first time Apple user, I bought the SE3 as I could not get my head around the £250 price difference. Gonna upgrade to that red mini when the price drops after the release of the 15.
Iphone SE 3 in my opinion, it has similar battery to iphone 11 and will get support for much longer
It does not have similar battery
I think the diverse the iPhone line ever was was the period from 2017-2018 when we had the X down to the original SE, tbh
I always skip sponsorship parts of videos but that was great content there.
Haha I know people tend to be annoyed by sponsorships, so trying to keep them entertaining is the least I can do.
I wish they made an IPhone SE 3 Plus in order to allow for bigger battery life and more thermal heat sinks
I want the iPhone se cuz the home button is nice
If we criticize big bezels, let’s not forget to praise them: the bezels spare us that hideous, asymmetrical “modern” notch.
was hesitating between iPhone 11 and SE , chose the SE 3 because of Smart HDR 4, A15 and 5G
but sometimes i'm thinking, if i would have choosen the 11 i would have a better screen, night mode, better front camera, but a 3 years old phone, no 5g and a less powerful chip
You just described my thoughts Lol
@@ChuksOlisama In fact, I've just bought the 11 -- sold my SE to a family member for an incredible price.
What I said was true, except:
- I got 5G just... one time ( In Paris and my battery literally DIED ) -- so I don't care ( yet )
- Smart HDR 2 ( on 11 series ) is as good as SH4
- A13 is still powerful and as snappy as A15 on my SE
The screen is effectively better, so is the front camera, design, battery, unlocking technology, etc...
Guys, take an 11 if you're hesitating, yes it's 3 years old, but for me, I couldn't stand the 4.7' screen and the old design anymore.
(Note : I was coming from an X, never could get used to the SE in fact )
@@lecocotier4740 I love the bigger screen on the 11, but I just can’t overlook the a15 chip on the se 3. Besides, this will be my first iPhone :)
@@ChuksOlisama If it's your first iPhone, no problem, as I said, coming from an X it was very hard.
Anyways, iPhones are always a good choice. Have fun
I got mine for my birthday in March 2023. I got it with a carrier deal. I got the iPhone 11 black color 64 GB four gigs of RAM for free when I switched over to metro by T-Mobile appreciate the deal is already over but I only paid $117 in taxes and fees and the device was free.
my wife and i now have an SE 2022 and we are happy AF and the camera is something we just dont care as long as it can take photos and scan QR codes in restaurants, thats all we need LOL, we play mobile games like genshin/honkai, ragnarok, anime games etc, and we are very pleased with the A15 chip and glad that we can use Big monitors and controllers to play while using the phone while watching a bigger monitor eheheehe
Hey Josh, how u doin'? My 1st comment here but imma subscriber since forever.
This video helps me a lot with my decision of change my VERY old 6s into a iPhone 11. Love ur work, please never consider quit YT because you r one of the best in the platform. Huge hug from BR.
I still have the 2017 SE. Looking at the 2022 SE. Each year it seems like "they" have turned down the dial on cell reception. Just updated to 15.7 whatever and now it "appears" that I have at best one bar reception at home, which works out to NO reception at home. Even using WiFi. Maybe I'm just cynical. When I first got my SE in 2017 I consistently had three to four bars and never dropped a call. Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? I use my phone as a phone, not a gaming console, a pro camera/ wide screen tv. I like that even in an Otter Box case it still fits in my shirt pocket. Given the popularity of this small, high quality phone I don't think I'm alone out here. If reception stayed up and I had a new battery I wouldn't be buying a new phone now. Obviously lots of people want a big screen and all the bells and whistles so it's great that they make the high end phones. The 2022 SE fits my bill ( in more ways than one )
Great review, love the channel
It's very possible. In some areas older cell networks get taken down to be replaced with new 5G or 4G networks which older devices may not support.
To be completely honest, I am perfectly more than OK with the LTE of the iPhone 11 I think it’s one of the faster LTE connection to get for any flagship device plus Wi-Fi six and the years of support still left blows any mid range android found out of the water, considering the fact that it is around $400 an hour and the fact that I got this phone for free through metro back in March it’s a plus… I’m pretty sure LTE will still be supported in till 2030 maybe a few years after 2030
my mum who is in her 60's just came from an iPhone 7 plus to an iPhone 12 and got used to the gestures within a couple of days.
I am a user of Apple and its ecosystem. The iPhone SE 3 is not for me, because I am a publicist and the iPhone 13 Pro Max is an excellent work tool for me, but since the iPhone SE has its users or fans, of course it does. I have also heard that it is selling very well. My 3 teenage sons each have an iPhone 11 and didn't want to upgrade this year because they're too comfortable with the iPhone 11. They don't like the iPhone SE because of its size. The iPhone SE is for people who like to have a very small device.
13mini is smaller than se . It’s more like for down bad people
@@poggers1568 nah it’s for people who’d rather have a home button
I really wish they'd make a se+ or something in the iPhone 8+ body because I would scoop that up in a heartbeat. I don't think Apple wanted to cannibalize the rest of the iPhone lineup though. I can see why they didn't but it's definitely needed. I guess I'm getting the 14 pro max when it comes out. I really hate the notch.
I always use this phone with my iPad.great phone
So true. I hate the notch, FaceID and the PWM flicker of OLED. An SE Plus would be awesome.
I have the se2 atm and looking into an upgrade that’ll last me until microled iPhones become a thing, since we don’t know how long that’ll take I think I’ll get the SE3 for longevity sake . Nice comparison though! Really made me consider the 11
I used an se2 up until recently and would have kept it much longer if I hadn't destroyed the camera by mounting it to my Motorcycle.. probably would have gotten another or a 3 but I was offered a 13 pro for about the same price. Definitely miss the smaller form factor though.. hell I'd still use my gen1 SE if I could!
I think older people would prefer the bigger screen of the 11
I feel like the iPhone XR/11 will eventually become the new iPhone SE in the near future. If not the iPhone XR/11 then the iPhone 12/13 mini will be the new iPhone SE design
actually there are some battery tests saying that the se 3rd generation would outlast the 11 by 20 mins or less
I just got rid of my iphone 11 for an se 3 , i suffer from chronic pain and i find it alot better holding the se than the much heavier iphone 11
I'm very happy with my SE 3 .. just a mini Pro can change my mind..
You have no idea how much I waited for this comparison.
For me battery life is not a big deal we have power bank magsafe and a case for se that supported magsafe too. Se is the beast for me because you have a15
It's rather devious of you to use Cola as a reason to not skip the sponsor message. I too have a Dachshund and just can't resist their overload of cuteness. Great job.
omg the sponsor part is really THAT gooood!!
Airpods 2 in 2022 I’m bout to buy some on apr 16 cause it’s my birthday and I’m seeing if there worth the 99$ price and you are a person who knows best
I was so excited about the new SE until I saw it still had the home button and not a full screen, why?? It makes it look dated.
I have a iPhone 5s still
Nice video man !
I’m owner of iphone 11, and it’s not bad phone but it’s not great either. Face id not working properly at the times… If you want new phone just skip 11.
Awesome ! I want to see Comparision between iPhone SE 2 and SE 3 !
i still use SE 2020
Nah, the se 3 is the better phone but that’s only if you are gonna buy new instead of used.
Because you can get a used iPhone 12 or 12 mini for around the same price or less than a brand new iPhone 11 from apple.
Atnt sell new iphone 12 cheaper than se 3
@@poggers1568 Great! Another reason to not get the SE!

Honestly it depends on your personal needs and stuff.
I prefer an iPhone 6S on IOS 12.
It's just perfect for me.
Even if the home button doesn't work that's ok.
This is exactly the video I needed!
Im still saving money to buy iphone 11
It’s still a very good phone
They are basically the same price plus your getting a A15 bionic chip that means SE has better photos, better performance and best of all 5G
Really hope they end up making a new iphone SE "plus" based off the old plus model iphones.
I also still use a iphone 5s it works great actually faster than my 2020 samsung galaxy a12 which is pretty insane considering the 5s is almost 10 years old I have it on ios12.5.7 and it works great I have a older version of instagram because I just updated it it was on ios 10.3.3 when I got it from my friend when he got a iphone 11 I like home button iphones because it's more simple I have used a newer iphone my brothers iphone xr it was fine but I prefer a iphone with a home button it gets the job done might get a 3rd gen iphone se because it has the home button don't care the camera isn't as good it does work fine I'm still impressed by the 5s camera mainly because it's a old phone the 5s camera is better than my samsung galaxy a12 and my a12 has a 12 megapixel my 5s has a 8 megapixel and it works great that's all I'm commenting so have a great day and stay safe
Solid thumbnail bro 👌
Absolutely loved your dog-ad segment. Watched it twice ❤❤🤣🤣
Battery life is better on the SE than on the 11.
im currently using an iphone 5s, i need a replacement asap. i think upgrading from an iphone 5s to any kind of phone is a big upgrade
@Lisa Sandra what is his telegram? but im not in the us tho, the shipping will cost a lot
I'm really in doubt between the iPhone 11 or the iPhone if 2022 I have no idea which one to choose please help me
I just love phones with smaller screens and home buttons tbh. Not because I’m cheap, if I wanted to I could go out and get a mint condition 13 mini.
I have iPhone 7 (my first Apple phone) and I’m starting to look for replacement, unfortunately I don’t know which of the new iPhones to buy…I’m thinking about 12 or 13 mini since they’re small, but I still don’t know…
The mini series are slightly bigger than a iphone 5/se 2016. So keep that in mind. I would go for the regular 13 when buying off apple since you get 128gb standard while on the 13 base is still 64 gb.
@@eugene44569 13 mini base is 128. 12 mini and SE3 base is 64.
Got an se 2 in october 2023 had it 4 months but i want the 13 pro. The 120 hz and oled display sells me i would say 14 but i dont really like how dynamic island looks
the iPhone SE is considered the poor person's iPhone as it is very popular in developing countries.
Not nuts about cameras or anything superficial like looks. I'd definitely just go for the SE 3 if I really needed an iPhone, but that's irrelevant because Android devices can go for such great prices.
Have both 14 pro max and 11. Still using 11 as my secondary backup phone. That damn thing just works so well 😂
I bought my SE2 last year, and I don’t want to update cuz it runs smoothly everything i need. Maybe I will update it, when the battery capacity will be super-low and it’ll be super slow. (sorry for my english,lol)
I have had my iphone11 for two years. Should I switch to iphone se 2922?
Oled and magsafe would be a game changer
Then it would no longer be the iPhone SE. Apple's budget iPhone. If you want Oled and MagSafe for that there are the other iPhones that cost more. That's all Apple can offer you for that price. If you ask for more, it makes it more expensive.
It would be a game changer if it only had Night mode
The comparison doesn't provide practical applicability. No UI experience comparison in different applications (web browsers, music players, video viewers, PDF viewers (vertical/horizontal). Just one more pointless comparison on RUclips.
The NordVPN add with the dog was fun, gave me a chuckle.
Touch ID is superior to Face ID.
If I was to choose I would rather go for the iPhone 13 mini no offense but I want as many years of software updates as possible. That will be my personal choice also
The iPhone SE 2022 is a great phone for those upgrading from the iPhone 8 to it I cannot justify recommending the 11 over the Sé 2022 because you lose at least two years of software updates from that phone which means you would need to upgrade sooner rather than later and it could be more expensive down the road
It has plenty of software support left, besides its not like people would be keeping it for the next 5 years anyway.
Imo still better than the Se.
@@fijiwill2237 actually I know people who keep it for six years Depends on the person but personally I would still choose the 13 series basically for the camera set up and one TB of storage and trust me I do use a lot of storage. I also do have an iPhone 11 Pro Max it’s a good phone but unless you could get it cheaper at 512 GB for me it doesn’t make sense to save a couple hundred dollars by going to the 11 and many people do love The old fashion SE style and probably will buy that phone. Like the author of the video said If you want the 11 it’s a good phone but if you could afford a little bit more go for the 12 or 13 mini or if you prefer the classic style go for the iPhone Se

Lately everyone is reviewin cameras most of the time. Is a great review thos just wish reviewers would pay less attention on cameras.
I can see that perspective... I think the camera is an aspect of a phone most people are concerned about, which is why I wanted to focus on it (especially for a comparison like this). But, I tried to give a good portion of time to other important things like performance and battery life, aspects equally if not more important to many of us out there.
I’m going to be upgrading from my 2016 SE in the fall, and I’m torn between the 2022 SE and the XS Max. This video, though not the exact pair I’m torn between, was still really helpful.
If you haven't bought one of those already, I'd suggest buying SE 2022. XS Max has A12 bionic chip which will get updates for only 2-3 more years but the SE 2022's A15 bionic chip will last you for more than 5 more years of updates, plus it's a 5G phone
@@Toy_In_Tub That’s why, logically, the SE3 makes more sense to me. However, the SE3 is just the phone I already have with better performance and battery. I’ve wanted the XS Max since it came out in 2018, and when the 11 dropped 3D Touch and didn’t do anything major outside the cameras, it made me covet the XS even more. The SE3 makes more sense, but the XS Max has been my dream phone since 2018.
