I took your advice and did buy it. Whilst people mock me for having a small screen, I don't care. It will still work in seven years whereas theirs may not. It's a pocket rocket!
Touch ID, price, size, good battery life are all pros. I only use it for email, web, researching, vertical service apps, amateur pictures and home video, and music in the car. All of that is done better than every other phone I've had before it. If I got a top-end iPhone I''d never take advantage of it enough to justify the expense. I spend much more time with the Mac Studio for creating and for entertainment.
Plus the reassurance of build and material quality after long-term ownership besides the battery. My father's Galaxy A71 microphone and speakers has been messing up the last 5 months or so, and this is with no water damage or anything. He dropped it a couple of times, but always has a spigen case on it.
I absolutely adore this phone for the following reasons: a. much improved battery life (turn off 5g you don’t need it) b. external speaker sound much improved c. A15 chip is amazing, and will not need to be upgraded for years to come d. I love this form factor…the squared beveled new form factor seems a step backwards to me…and the size thank God is what I love to use, sleek and not a tablet in your pocket. As far as the bezels: I cannot accept the notch, specially knowing Apple could have removed it 2 generations ago but have decided not to do that because when they do it will be sold as an absolute amazing brand new feature. The chin top and bottom of my SE seems natural to me, the edge to edge screen with a notch seems unfinished. e. 20% harder and shatter proof glass front and back f. Camera has been algorithmically improved to include better resolution and many new modes f. Premium: just because the form factor is not the latest, this phone is completely premium l. Charging: can charge from 0 to 60 percent in 15 minutes Oh, and let us not forget the price…. For me, this is the perfect phone
Got my iPhone SE (2022) in like new condition the other night. No flaws and for only $150 on OfferUp. I'm getting the same A15 chip as the 13 series and non-Pro 14s. It's for T-Mobile which I already use but called them last night to unlock it and it took less than 5 minutes. If you can deal with the outdated design, getting an SE3 for under $200 is the best deal you can find today. I personally hate Face ID as I use my phone a lot in the dark. I drive at night for work. And the notch can get in the way when watching movies or TV shows. I'm not a big iPhone fan. I only got it because I nearly threw away my Razr 5G by accident. It slipped into a garbage bag after I was cleaning my car's interior and I had to retrieve it from the bin I threw it in. I'll keep my Razr 5G mostly at home for a year since it isn't fully paid off. SE3 will be my main phone for a year or until House of the Dragon airs in 2024. SE3 will be the last to offer a home button and perhaps Touch ID, LCD, and a sim tray for the U.S. market. The SE4 will look more like the XR with likely the same A15 chip. I had a 12 mini and just HATED Face ID. And games like Forgotton Anne don't play properly on phones with Face ID. The swipe up gesture can ruin the experience as that also is the same gesture for volume or brightness for Netflix. It's weird that my $150 SE3 has become my most powerful phone I own when I'm only using it temporarily as a main phone for a year. Offers better value than a Duo 1 at the same price. Even though I'm no iOS fan, if you can spend only $150 on an SE3 with 100% battery health, that's a good investment knowing you will get software support for a minimum of 5 to 6 years. You only need to upgrade twice per decade. A15 will be a beast for years to come if two generations of iPhones used it. SE3 might be the most underrated iPhone ever made and more people will appreciate it once they realize they hate Face ID and the notch like I do or miss the home button. SE3 will be the last of the mid-2010s classic iPhone design. The SE4 looking like a XR will make us miss Touch ID and appreciate the SE3 once SE4 is released next year. Will the SE3 be the last iPhone of its kind? - Touch ID - Home button - Notch-less - LCD - Under 140 mm in height - Sim tray
@@LeakyTrees this phone is premium…let’s remember 3-4 years ago it was top of the line…and the build and features are even better now…I don’t know what you consider “premium” to be, sounds like you are confusing premium with the new and latest models…they are two totally different concepts. You can have a 10 year old Rolls Royce which is super premium…this phone (if you like the style which I do so much more than Apple’s current sharp square edged glittery models) runs IOS 16, and looks and feels amazing
@@Dec4AllTimeAlways absolutely correct!! Also on the “outdated design” I feel the new square sharp shiny bezeled design is awful…the SE reminds me of a “timeless” both future and retro design, which feels great in the hand, unlike the current models which cut into your palms
@@Williamb612 first off, terrible analogy. A 10 yeear old rolls is premium because rolls Royce don't change. Second, phones are technology, and in technology, premium is what makes the phone tick. This phone is dated, and dying, and wholely unnecessary.
Imo this small screen is just perfect: this phone fits to my pocket with no problem, ppi is exactly same as in iphone xr and 11. Watching this with my iPhone 8 and looking forward to get iPhone SE 2022 because of a15. Great video btw, keep up the good work!
I’m not gonna lie I love google and android products in general, specifically the pixel lineup. But my pixel 6 pro was having issues around phone calls and heating up and battery life. So I switched to the iPhone SE reluctantly. Im super glad I did. It’s super fast and snappy for a phone that’s under 500 dollars, the camera is pretty good, and I myself love Touch ID. It’s in the range where you can pay off your phone and own it immediately. And because it has the A15 it makes me feel comfortable with the buy because it’ll most likely work great for the next 4 to 5 years at least. Definitely recommend.
After two years I swapped my iPhone 12 Pro Max for a SE 3 (Product Red), prior to that I had iPhone 11,8,7, 5c...... Phones have gotten too big, heavy, and bulky. I love the feel of the SE, only con is the battery drains faster than the 12. I'm more of an outdoors person so I don't want a brick in my pocket. People say the SE is dated but its got the 12MP camera, A15 chip, and 5G.
I agree that phones have gotten too big and too expensive also. I don't want a big screen when I am on the go, nor do I need one. I love going from an XR to the SE3, so much lighter and for checking email or a text on the go, the screen is more than big enough. I don't game or watch 3 hour movies on my phone, not that the SE is incapable of doing either. I have no problem watch a quick TH-cam video or scrolling the web when I want to. It's a great phone/ mini computer in my pocket.
I ditched a Moto G6 which I hated when I saw the SE in a T-Mobil store. Many years ago I had the iPhone 4S and loved it because of its compact size. The SE takes crisp photos, clear videos, doesn’t wash out the screen in sunlight, and has good internet reception even at 1 or 2 bars. I highly recommend this phone if you value functionality over excess bells and whistles.

When I tested the SE 3 for 2 weeks I thought it was better than my iPhone 12 in a lot of ways but the only thing that held me back was the battery since I’m a heavy user
@@wizerdjuice9589 12 mini owner here. It is my favourite phone so far. I hate that phones are so huge nowadays. I loved the form factor, however battery life is horrendous on the 12 series. I don't mind it. I simply use my M1 MBA as a powerbank anyway. The mini needs a repair I'm so upset 😭 I had to revert to my X. I love it dearly but the form factor is not my style at all. Hope will make mini/ smaller form factor models in the future 🤧
I recently ordered the SE 3 from apple, I went from a Galaxy s10e and the switch has been amazing. To start off the SE 3 is a beautiful device and the battery life does live up to the advertisement of the phone. So I highly recommend buying this phone there are some really nice features as well, I love the size and the home button on this phone I hate that the other new devices only support Face ID… So for anyone debating on whether or not to grab this phone take my word you won’t regret it everything stated in this video is facts!!
Dude I bought a 20w charger for my se3 after i owned a se2 and my battery capacity is still at 100% unlike my se2 which is at like 84% capacity. OVERALL battery life is very good, and it lasts even longer because of the A15 bionic chip. So its worth it.
i honestly find this phone refreshing. i personally don't care about all the unnecessary technology , camera lenses, and size on the new iphones so this is perfect
I never thought I'd be one to upgrade my phone every time a new one comes out, but I think the iPhone SE has changed that. I hope to eventually save up for the 3rd gen SE so I can have every phone in what I call "The iPhone 8 lineage" (8, 2nd gen SE, and 3rd gen SE). All three of those phones use the same chassis, but they have upgraded internals with each new iteration.
I love the size of the SE. I’ve had a huge phone for the last 10 years, I also have an iPad. It’s just so convenient to be able to put your phone in your pocket, have a battery life that lasts all day, and a bonus is it reduces your screen time a little bit. And all the cases for the iPhone SE are gonna be a lot cheaper than all the rest of the iPhones because it’s the same shape as the earlier models
Hey i was confused on buying iphone 12mini, iphone 11 or iphone se 2022 all 64 gb because i am broke but will it be enough? I only use social media and TH-cam and music on my current android phone ...also how long does the se battery last judging my usage?
@@humblebread5973 hello. If you don't mind having an LCD (vs OLED) display and a heavy phone, go for the iPhone 11. It's worth every penny! I have one and the cameras are great, plus the battery lasts me for almost 2 days (I'm not a heavy user, just using my phone for Facebook, Instagram, web browsing, and emails). If you want a superb phone without breaking the bank, iPhone 11 is what I would recommend. The iPhone 12 mini's battery drains fast. Go for the iPhone 13 mini if you want a later chipset with the same form factor and an efficient battery. The iPhone SE is also nice but not as nice as the iPhone 11 in terms of cameras and battery. Go for it if you love Touch ID, a small form factor, plus you also get the latest chipset. Good luck and i hope your final choice makes you happy!
@@musicislove2617 thanks a lot for taking your time out and giving me advice, actually i was thinking to settle with the iphone 11 ultimately but since it would be my first iphone i want it to last long and apple has brilliantly laid out the prices for example, i want the iphone 11 to have a long run and take the 128gb version but the iphone 12 mini gives 64gb but newer body and a generation faster chipset but if i chose iphone 12mini 128 gb i can buy iphone 13mini for 128gb but for one hundred extra dollars which is friggin up my mind....sir i want to ask you if the 64gb iphone 11 version can take ios 16 and all i also use my phone for one game (clash royal)and spotify and also social medias at the most. My current daily usage is around 5 hours so will i get that much usage out of iphone 11 64gb? I looked on youtube but nobody said a definite answer, please help kind sir
In late September 2023, you can get it used $240 ish. Which is a steal nowadays. I highly recommend buying it slightly used. Very good value and super small plus it’ll work and gain support for years. I love the SE. Who cares about 36 cameras on the back.
I purchased a MagSafe case for the se3 since it’s wireless charging compatible. And use all MagSafe options available for the regular 12 and 13 lineup. So the MagSafe Anker battery pack works amazing for me with this phone. Get a full day and a half use out of the phone being a heavy user. And the phone and battery pack both charge at the same time as well so win win
I ordered a refurb model of this for $200 and I really can't wait to go back to the smaller form factor. I had a 2020 SE and loved it, then was convinced to 'upgrade' to a bigger device. Finally going back to a phone this size is going to be awesome for me, can't wait!
Thank you for the review. I was a SE user from the first gen based on the specs but with comfortable battery life. That changed with the next and forced me to upgrade to a bigger iPhone with bigger price. I would jump back to the SE if I can budget the remaining balance on my current iPhone to make the swap. On a side note, you did a great job discussing your opinion and use to a wonderful vocabulary. Good job!
It’s the fastest smartphone in the world,it is very thin,it is lightweight,it’s easy to use one handed,it has an amazing build quality with a 7000 series aluminium frame and the toughest glass ever in a smartphone,great battery life,amazing display with wide colour gamut and true tone,amazing stereo speakers,amazing camera,has the best and most secure smartphone operating system and all that for 429$,I think it is a great deal and people should buy this phone!
I bought it didn’t know anything and love it I’m someone who doesn’t really care what anyone thinks this phone is amazing coming off a freaking iPhone 6s Plus great vid 😁
I watched this video 2 hrs after it released... I then when to the apple store and bought the iPhone SE 2022 and now im selling my iPhone XS. The reason I bought it was because of the battery life (I have ADHD and charging the phone is a rare occurrence), and because I wanted to be more humble. It has the power of the 13, but it does not give off this... asshole vibe the 13 pro max does. If you have a pro max, you probably think range rovers are the best SUVs in the world.
My iPhone 8 died the other night. I got an iPhone SE to replace it and am happy so far. I don't need a big fancy phone that costs and arm and a leg. The SE is exactly the same size as the 8 was so I can even use the same case.
I was looking for an iPhone to replace my Pixel 4a. The only one that could fit my budget and still have a long enough iOS life would've been a 64GB iPhone 11. 64 GB is too small plus I am trying to avoid having anything bigger than my Pixel 4a. The screen isn't as good as a the Mini, but a new Mini is too pricey. So bit the bullet & got the 128GB SE. We'll see how this works out.
Thank u for making a true review of the se3. Honest, to the point no stupid words (watch something from German swagtab 🤦♂️). I was surprised that u r may think the se 3 can last up to ten years. I do own the se3 in product red, I try my best to keep it as long as I can
I still use my first generation iPhone SE. Bought it in 2018 and it was a beast. Still holds strong, but the battery life is awful. I will most likely buy the iPhone SE 2022. It's amazing.
I have an XR but this iPhone seems like a solid deal,as a second/backup phone.I prefer the bigger screen on the XR but in some cases it's very convinient to have a small phone like the SE,plus this is really a timeless design.Touch ID has some benefits too, it's very reliable and secure.With this processor and 5g this is a good buy.
@@Zenguy89 due to the fact that is far more likely for someone else to share similar fingerprint than your face. Like 1 in 50000 for touch id vs 1 in 1,000,000 for face id…
I never really gave an eye to the most recent SE , up until I got gifted this phone , and wow , i initially didnt know what to say as to i didnt really look it up , im shocked , the battery , the camera , the chipset , incredible value / incredible phone. I cant wait for the 4th generation SE , ill definitely upgrade to that as soon as its released!!
Been on Android since the days of the Nexus phones. Even though I worked on Macs for decades, the only reason I didn't buy an iPhone over the years was because I was tired of having to pay the Apple tax. Well, with AirDrop & other tools, I need to have one for my new MBP. Also, Android just isn't for me anymore. Since I'm still too cheap to fork over $700+ for a new iPhone with 5G, I may go with an SE 2022. For the long trip days, I may just use a battery case for it.
Don't go for the se 2022. Try to go for older phones like the 11 pro. Performance is similar and battery is better too. The display is way better because it's OLED and has bigger screen thanks to absence of the bezels.
No offense, but the apple tax is a weird misconception. I mean where else are you going to get a phone that works just fine after 7 years and still has most of the functionality of the new phones?!
My only complaint about my SE (2020) is, here in 2022 my battery is starting to get noticeably worse, it still will get me through the day for the most part which is good, I guess I’ll try the iFixit battery you suggested as I’m still loving my 2020 model
They should launched a version of this phone in the 8 plus body. That would be just perfect for me since I prefer good battery and lcd display (i have headaches with oled screens).
I have been going back and forth between iPhone 11 or new SE. I had pretty much decided on the 11 then at Apple store yesterday the girl there pushed the SE over the 11 because of the chip. I just subscribed and really enjoy your channel!
I have the 11 and the battery life degraded faster than any of my other iPhones. It is at 78% and barely 2 years old. It's also bloody heavy and gets tiresome on the wrists after awhile. I also think the Face ID is annoying cus it can be hit or miss. I really liked having the home button on older phones and just sold my 11 as I want a phone with a better battery.
Time to change the SE I bought in early 2017. Still going strong except for the battery. Blows my mind how people need to change their phones every couple of years.
I really like the SE but that battery life does get me. But I like the size and I LOVE Touch ID! I prefer it over Face ID! I have the 2020. I always swatch between it and my 11 Pro.
Just ordered one yesterday ☺️ My first ever iPhone 😃 in red Android phones are just getting way too big and too expensive for me and too complicated. The SE offers a lot with IP 67 wireless charging and years of updates are very appealing. And a super fast chip. Solid camera and battery life. All in a nice wee compact size
@@IamBATMAN2024 Sorry to hear that. I only got mine up and going yesterday. At least according to the reviews the battery life seems to have improved. So far two hours of screen on time with 80 per cent remaining.
@@Victoria-sm1sj is the cheapest iPhone out there so yea is alright besides minding the negative comments is a great flagship yet budget iPhone which beats most android without even trying
I'm hoping to be able to get this iPhone SE 2022 in the future. My budget is very tight, and I'm trying to save my extra allowance in order to buy this phone, because iPhones are very expensive in the Philippines. This would be my first iPhone if I ever buy one someday. Fingers crossed for those in my situation.
I have an I phone 6 s. The only reason I want a new one is because the battery only lasts 3 hours. The battery life was great when new however the battery life deteriorated over time. I hope the current I phones have better longevity.
A friend asked me if he should buy the SE recently, but we found a refurbished 64 GB XR instead for AUD$280 (that's about US$185) including a 1 year warranty which we decided was a better deal. The rumour is that the next SE is going to be based on the XR design.
plz deliver it to apple that we(SE users) want 80/90hz display and a little bit more battery on next SE..We love this current design,camera and specifications...Many Android phones give 90hz in this price range..
In my country, the postpaid line I'm using has a free 5G coverage and it's pretty fast. That alone is enough for me to use the SE. Battery isn't that bad. It can last a day with average use.
I wanted 256 gb at the lowest price, so I got this phone today :) besides, I can reuse my old cases and I have such small hands that even mu current iphone 11 feels big (64 gb and already full…)
I have the SE 2020. I was looking at the Mini’s because the size is similar, but I really don’t like the notch/price. Would be great if the next SE had a dual camera! Would literally be the best of both worlds.
I'm getting an iPhone SE 2022 later today and I'm watching this video to make the time pass by faster. I'm moving away from Android because Apple Arcade has far better exclusives. I have reached a point in my life where I refuse to play games that have ads and in-app purchases. That's why I only play games from Netflix and from later today Apple Arcade.
I am thinking seriously about buying this IPhone SE 2022 since I never have owned one before.I watched other reviews On this IPhone SE 2022 that we're negative Oh the battery doesn't last all day I don't believe that I believe what you say about how long the battery life is... Buy far everything that you have said in your reviews about this new phone I believe you not the other Na Sayers you tell it like it is And the sad part is you have to buy a 20watt adapter or higher to fast charge it Bummer,At least Apple could have included the Charger adapter with this Iphone.....👍👍👍👍👍
I have the iPhone SE second generation I had it since less today and my opinion on it at first I thought it would be like a normal iPhone because this is the first iPhone that I ever had my opinion on it is good people mock me because I have a small screen but I don’t care one of my friends have it the iPhone SE third-generation generation what is good
13 mini is the way to go. Yes, it costs a good chunk more but it’s worth it. Even smaller and more comfortable to hold. Yet with a bigger screen (plus OLED). Gestures are more convenient than constant home button clicking, the cameras are better, double storage, a better battery and I’m sure I forgot some things… Just went from SE 2020 to 13 Mini and it feels absolutely luxurious and I love it.
I like the mini as well. I'm tired of caring my big phone around. But it's battery capacity seems rather low, at least on paper. How are you doing with the battery life so far?
@@191. battery is decent. Lasts all day with light to medium use. I top up in the evening usually but overall I’ve had iPhones with worse battery life. The battery shouldn’t keep anyone from getting this phone in my opinion. Apparently the 12 mini had noticeably worse battery life and so do all the SE iPhones.
@@191. I see. I will report that this being my first Face ID phone, I’ve immensely enjoyed that feature. Now that it works with masks (even combined with glasses), it’s more reliable than Touch ID for me. And I unlock it A LOT when I do dozens of deliveries every night. I held out because of lack of Touch ID during the pandemic but it’s so much more enjoyable with Face ID for me. Just my experience!
@@BrenR I understand. Fingerprint readers seem faster for me, as you can unlock your phone on its way from your pocket and when you look at it, it's already unlocked. I guess LG V30 spoiled me on this one. HAHA. It was super convenient!
This'll be the first phone that I buy for myself as an adult and my current one was purchased august 2019. finally making the switch to apple and it should be fun
I’ve had mine for 2 years now and it’s awesome. Battery is getting worn down some so I might replace it at some point. Otherwise it still works as it should
depend on the budget, if you already have an iPad or Mac for media consuption, SE 2022 all day. Trust me on such some small screens you can't tell the quality difference at all.
I know boost mobile has this phone for free if I switch carriers. Never was a apple fan, but I think I'll go with this phone alot of good reviews. Thanks
I have the 13 pro max and the iPhone se 22. iPhone is good for computer like tasks photos media etc. but the se is good for some quick google searches and music
Possibly the best camera you can buy in 2024 for that money. Just about every small camera has got crazy expensive, & most point and shoot cameras have been discontinued.
I bought a mid-range Motorola Edge 2022 phone that's normally over $600 for $249 and also you are better off getting used iPhone SE with more internal storage at better prices.
The front facing camera IS the rear camera. It’s mounted on the back and faces forward. The front camera on the other hand (Selfie cam) faces rearward, just like a rear view mirror. All that stuff behind you is visible.
I loved Touch iD on my iphone 6s, but I loathed what they did to the Home Button from the 7 onward. It'd be OK, if you could turn that "jolt" off, but you can't. Strange. On my cheapo Samsung A21s, I can turn off the vibrate on the fingerprint sensor! Go figure. Apple COULD do it, but, of course, they won't. Ditto updating that god awful keyboard. That said, a phone that can be opened and then used on its back (in a case) is always a plus, in my book. You can do that with Touch iD and I used to love it. You can't do that with any of the other iPhones, well not without the damn thing wobbling due to the fact that none of the cases actually hide the gross Camera Hump. Again, Apple could fix this, but they won't, they don't care! They'll happily charge over £1000 fora wobbly phone and suckers will buy them. Kerr-CHING £$£$ Still, I gather that they're finally going to ditch the pig-ugly notch this year? No doubt they'll trumpet this as an "innovation!"
@@youngjacuzzi3676 Thanks, you're right, I've tried it. But, I don't want to feel it at all! 😉 I remember buying a One+3 a while back and its Home Button had an annoying "buzz," but you could opt to turn it off. Like I said, Apple could easily sort this and give its customers the option to turn the damn thing off entirely. But, they won't!
@@neorich59 still using a 6S. This was one thing that was bothering me - I kept reading people saying the new button felt just like a real one, but I was never convinced. The other loss is the force press, which I use a lot on the left edge of the screen to switch apps. On the subject of the camera hump and wobbling, I've even studying what phones people are using nowadays when I'm out and about, and essentially 100% of 2 or 3 camera iPhone users have theirs in a case, the only time you ever see careless ones is 6S/7/8, so that backs up that theory. (I do photography with a 'real' camera, so when I eventually upgrade to an SE the lack of wide angle/telephoto won't bother me.)
I took your advice and did buy it. Whilst people mock me for having a small screen, I don't care. It will still work in seven years whereas theirs may not. It's a pocket rocket!
I’m in the same boat with the 13mini! To your device’s long life!

b. external speaker sound much improved
c. A15 chip is amazing, and will not need to be upgraded for years to come

As far as the bezels: I cannot accept the notch, specially knowing Apple could have removed it 2 generations ago but have decided not to do that because when they do it will be sold as an absolute amazing brand new feature. The chin top and bottom of my SE seems natural to me, the edge to edge screen with a notch seems unfinished.
e. 20% harder and shatter proof glass front and back
f. Camera has been algorithmically improved to include better resolution and many new modes
f. Premium: just because the form factor is not the latest, this phone is completely premium
l. Charging: can charge from 0 to 60 percent in 15 minutes
Oh, and let us not forget the price….
For me, this is the perfect phone
This phone is, as defined by its very existence, not premium.
Got my iPhone SE (2022) in like new condition the other night. No flaws and for only $150 on OfferUp. I'm getting the same A15 chip as the 13 series and non-Pro 14s. It's for T-Mobile which I already use but called them last night to unlock it and it took less than 5 minutes. If you can deal with the outdated design, getting an SE3 for under $200 is the best deal you can find today. I personally hate Face ID as I use my phone a lot in the dark. I drive at night for work. And the notch can get in the way when watching movies or TV shows. I'm not a big iPhone fan. I only got it because I nearly threw away my Razr 5G by accident. It slipped into a garbage bag after I was cleaning my car's interior and I had to retrieve it from the bin I threw it in. I'll keep my Razr 5G mostly at home for a year since it isn't fully paid off. SE3 will be my main phone for a year or until House of the Dragon airs in 2024. SE3 will be the last to offer a home button and perhaps Touch ID, LCD, and a sim tray for the U.S. market. The SE4 will look more like the XR with likely the same A15 chip. I had a 12 mini and just HATED Face ID. And games like Forgotton Anne don't play properly on phones with Face ID. The swipe up gesture can ruin the experience as that also is the same gesture for volume or brightness for Netflix. It's weird that my $150 SE3 has become my most powerful phone I own when I'm only using it temporarily as a main phone for a year. Offers better value than a Duo 1 at the same price.
Even though I'm no iOS fan, if you can spend only $150 on an SE3 with 100% battery health, that's a good investment knowing you will get software support for a minimum of 5 to 6 years. You only need to upgrade twice per decade. A15 will be a beast for years to come if two generations of iPhones used it.
SE3 might be the most underrated iPhone ever made and more people will appreciate it once they realize they hate Face ID and the notch like I do or miss the home button. SE3 will be the last of the mid-2010s classic iPhone design. The SE4 looking like a XR will make us miss Touch ID and appreciate the SE3 once SE4 is released next year.
Will the SE3 be the last iPhone of its kind?

@@LeakyTrees this phone is premium…let’s remember 3-4 years ago it was top of the line…and the build and features are even better now…I don’t know what you consider “premium” to be, sounds like you are confusing premium with the new and latest models…they are two totally different concepts.
You can have a 10 year old Rolls Royce which is super premium…this phone (if you like the style which I do so much more than Apple’s current sharp square edged glittery models) runs IOS 16, and looks and feels amazing
@@Dec4AllTimeAlways absolutely correct!! Also on the “outdated design” I feel the new square sharp shiny bezeled design is awful…the SE reminds me of a “timeless” both future and retro design, which feels great in the hand, unlike the current models which cut into your palms
@@Williamb612 first off, terrible analogy. A 10 yeear old rolls is premium because rolls Royce don't change. Second, phones are technology, and in technology, premium is what makes the phone tick. This phone is dated, and dying, and wholely unnecessary.
Best iPhone SE 2022 review I’ve seen. Small design & iconic home button alone are the best reasons anyone should get this iPhone.
I prefer smaller screens so I just bought the SE, plus I like the fingerprint scanner over Face ID
Imo this small screen is just perfect: this phone fits to my pocket with no problem, ppi is exactly same as in iphone xr and 11. Watching this with my iPhone 8 and looking forward to get iPhone SE 2022 because of a15. Great video btw, keep up the good work!
I bought the 2020 SE 2 years ago. I recently upgraded to the 13 Pro Max. While I love my 13PM, I love the size of the SE and especially Touch ID.
I’m not gonna lie I love google and android products in general, specifically the pixel lineup. But my pixel 6 pro was having issues around phone calls and heating up and battery life. So I switched to the iPhone SE reluctantly. Im super glad I did. It’s super fast and snappy for a phone that’s under 500 dollars, the camera is pretty good, and I myself love Touch ID. It’s in the range where you can pay off your phone and own it immediately. And because it has the A15 it makes me feel comfortable with the buy because it’ll most likely work great for the next 4 to 5 years at least. Definitely recommend.
After two years I swapped my iPhone 12 Pro Max for a SE 3 (Product Red), prior to that I had iPhone 11,8,7, 5c...... Phones have gotten too big, heavy, and bulky. I love the feel of the SE, only con is the battery drains faster than the 12. I'm more of an outdoors person so I don't want a brick in my pocket. People say the SE is dated but its got the 12MP camera, A15 chip, and 5G.
I agree that phones have gotten too big and too expensive also. I don't want a big screen when I am on the go, nor do I need one. I love going from an XR to the SE3, so much lighter and for checking email or a text on the go, the screen is more than big enough. I don't game or watch 3 hour movies on my phone, not that the SE is incapable of doing either. I have no problem watch a quick TH-cam video or scrolling the web when I want to. It's a great phone/ mini computer in my pocket.
I ditched a Moto G6 which I hated when I saw the SE in a T-Mobil store. Many years ago I had the iPhone 4S and loved it because of its compact size.
The SE takes crisp photos, clear videos, doesn’t wash out the screen in sunlight, and has good internet reception even at 1 or 2 bars. I highly recommend this phone if you value functionality over excess bells and whistles.

Forgot to put my new SE3 on charge last night. 36 hours after last being connected, the battery life is 44 per cent!
Good or bad
When I tested the SE 3 for 2 weeks I thought it was better than my iPhone 12 in a lot of ways but the only thing that held me back was the battery since I’m a heavy user
It’s much improved over the SE2 and I enjoy it over the mini 12 I had.
@@wizerdjuice9589 if you’re coming from an iPhone 12 mini or SE 2 the battery improvements are way noticeable
*I got the iPhone SE 2022 from my old iPhone 12 mini and battery life is way more better 💪🏻*
@@wizerdjuice9589 12 mini owner here.
It is my favourite phone so far. I hate that phones are so huge nowadays. I loved the form factor, however battery life is horrendous on the 12 series. I don't mind it. I simply use my M1 MBA as a powerbank anyway. The mini needs a repair I'm so upset 😭
I had to revert to my X. I love it dearly but the form factor is not my style at all.
Hope will make mini/ smaller form factor models in the future 🤧
@Torvaltz it really isn’t that bad
I recently ordered the SE 3 from apple, I went from a Galaxy s10e and the switch has been amazing. To start off the SE 3 is a beautiful device and the battery life does live up to the advertisement of the phone. So I highly recommend buying this phone there are some really nice features as well, I love the size and the home button on this phone I hate that the other new devices only support Face ID…
So for anyone debating on whether or not to grab this phone take my word you won’t regret it everything stated in this video is facts!!
Dude I bought a 20w charger for my se3 after i owned a se2 and my battery capacity is still at 100% unlike my se2 which is at like 84% capacity. OVERALL battery life is very good, and it lasts even longer because of the A15 bionic chip. So its worth it.
i honestly find this phone refreshing. i personally don't care about all the unnecessary technology , camera lenses, and size on the new iphones so this is perfect
boy if you said this in 2024 almost 2025 you would get damn near canceled
@ bro chill you’re acting as if i said the n word or something lmao
@ Im joking lol have a good one!
I’m downsizing from a iPhone 12 Pro Max to an iPhone SE. Decided to do it, while I have decent trade in value.
I did the same but with a XR, I know IOS 17 will probably be the last software update it gets so I wanted to trade it in before it's worth nothing.
I never thought I'd be one to upgrade my phone every time a new one comes out, but I think the iPhone SE has changed that. I hope to eventually save up for the 3rd gen SE so I can have every phone in what I call "The iPhone 8 lineage" (8, 2nd gen SE, and 3rd gen SE). All three of those phones use the same chassis, but they have upgraded internals with each new iteration.
What about the 6s
@@BurgerurgerFPV and 7
I love the size of the SE. I’ve had a huge phone for the last 10 years, I also have an iPad. It’s just so convenient to be able to put your phone in your pocket, have a battery life that lasts all day, and a bonus is it reduces your screen time a little bit. And all the cases for the iPhone SE are gonna be a lot cheaper than all the rest of the iPhones because it’s the same shape as the earlier models
Hey i was confused on buying iphone 12mini, iphone 11 or iphone se 2022 all 64 gb because i am broke but will it be enough? I only use social media and TH-cam and music on my current android phone ...also how long does the se battery last judging my usage?
@@humblebread5973 hello. If you don't mind having an LCD (vs OLED) display and a heavy phone, go for the iPhone 11. It's worth every penny! I have one and the cameras are great, plus the battery lasts me for almost 2 days (I'm not a heavy user, just using my phone for Facebook, Instagram, web browsing, and emails). If you want a superb phone without breaking the bank, iPhone 11 is what I would recommend.
The iPhone 12 mini's battery drains fast. Go for the iPhone 13 mini if you want a later chipset with the same form factor and an efficient battery.
The iPhone SE is also nice but not as nice as the iPhone 11 in terms of cameras and battery. Go for it if you love Touch ID, a small form factor, plus you also get the latest chipset. Good luck and i hope your final choice makes you happy!
@@musicislove2617 thanks a lot for taking your time out and giving me advice, actually i was thinking to settle with the iphone 11 ultimately but since it would be my first iphone i want it to last long and apple has brilliantly laid out the prices for example, i want the iphone 11 to have a long run and take the 128gb version but the iphone 12 mini gives 64gb but newer body and a generation faster chipset but if i chose iphone 12mini 128 gb i can buy iphone 13mini for 128gb but for one hundred extra dollars which is friggin up my mind....sir i want to ask you if the 64gb iphone 11 version can take ios 16 and all i also use my phone for one game (clash royal)and spotify and also social medias at the most. My current daily usage is around 5 hours so will i get that much usage out of iphone 11 64gb? I looked on youtube but nobody said a definite answer, please help kind sir
@@humblebread5973if the xr can, the 11 probably can too!
I did a rudimentary 10 minute search, ordered it and TH-cam searched reviews 😂 you my friend have convinced me I’ve made the right purchase.
In late September 2023, you can get it used $240 ish. Which is a steal nowadays. I highly recommend buying it slightly used. Very good value and super small plus it’ll work and gain support for years. I love the SE.
Who cares about 36 cameras on the back.
I just got mine for $99 on Straight Talk
I got mine for £130 a 256GB one in red. Used yes but in decent nick!
I purchased a MagSafe case for the se3 since it’s wireless charging compatible. And use all MagSafe options available for the regular 12 and 13 lineup. So the MagSafe Anker battery pack works amazing for me with this phone. Get a full day and a half use out of the phone being a heavy user. And the phone and battery pack both charge at the same time as well so win win
Oooo which magsafe case did u get? Brand?
Just picked up a a new one from one Verizon Total ~$149. I would think that's a really good deal at that price.
It really is. I wish I could get one for that price but will have to pay the full price of $479 for one.
I ordered a refurb model of this for $200 and I really can't wait to go back to the smaller form factor. I had a 2020 SE and loved it, then was convinced to 'upgrade' to a bigger device. Finally going back to a phone this size is going to be awesome for me, can't wait!
Couldve got it for 150
Thank you for the review. I was a SE user from the first gen based on the specs but with comfortable battery life. That changed with the next and forced me to upgrade to a bigger iPhone with bigger price. I would jump back to the SE if I can budget the remaining balance on my current iPhone to make the swap. On a side note, you did a great job discussing your opinion and use to a wonderful vocabulary. Good job!
It’s the fastest smartphone in the world,it is very thin,it is lightweight,it’s easy to use one handed,it has an amazing build quality with a 7000 series aluminium frame and the toughest glass ever in a smartphone,great battery life,amazing display with wide colour gamut and true tone,amazing stereo speakers,amazing camera,has the best and most secure smartphone operating system and all that for 429$,I think it is a great deal and people should buy this phone!
I bought it didn’t know anything and love it I’m someone who doesn’t really care what anyone thinks this phone is amazing coming off a freaking iPhone 6s Plus great vid 😁
I watched this video 2 hrs after it released... I then when to the apple store and bought the iPhone SE 2022 and now im selling my iPhone XS. The reason I bought it was because of the battery life (I have ADHD and charging the phone is a rare occurrence), and because I wanted to be more humble. It has the power of the 13, but it does not give off this... asshole vibe the 13 pro max does. If you have a pro max, you probably think range rovers are the best SUVs in the world.
Got the phone like a week now, and it’s really amazing!
Hi do you have to charge it every day?
Bad battery and it’s too small!!
These for 250 at my Walmart ! I been enjoying my 6S tbh after like 6 years I’m ready for something new
My iPhone 8 died the other night. I got an iPhone SE to replace it and am happy so far. I don't need a big fancy phone that costs and arm and a leg. The SE is exactly the same size as the 8 was so I can even use the same case.
the same here!
I was looking for an iPhone to replace my Pixel 4a. The only one that could fit my budget and still have a long enough iOS life would've been a 64GB iPhone 11. 64 GB is too small plus I am trying to avoid having anything bigger than my Pixel 4a.
The screen isn't as good as a the Mini, but a new Mini is too pricey.
So bit the bullet & got the 128GB SE. We'll see how this works out.
yooo I'm in the same boat with my 4a, so how's the se?
How does the iPhone is doing vs the Pixel 4a, It was worth the change?
Thank u for making a true review of the se3. Honest, to the point no stupid words (watch something from German swagtab 🤦♂️). I was surprised that u r may think the se 3 can last up to ten years. I do own the se3 in product red, I try my best to keep it as long as I can
I still use my first generation iPhone SE. Bought it in 2018 and it was a beast. Still holds strong, but the battery life is awful. I will most likely buy the iPhone SE 2022. It's amazing.
I upgraded my 2nd generation SE to this one and I love it.
I had a 13 from a 2020 SE and I ditched that after a month because this one was on sale. I like this much better.
I have an XR but this iPhone seems like a solid deal,as a second/backup phone.I prefer the bigger screen on the XR but in some cases it's very convinient to have a small phone like the SE,plus this is really a timeless design.Touch ID has some benefits too, it's very reliable and secure.With this processor and 5g this is a good buy.
like face id isn't magnitudes safer than the touoch id lmao
@@DashzRighthow is it safer?
@@Zenguy89 due to the fact that is far more likely for someone else to share similar fingerprint than your face. Like 1 in 50000 for touch id vs 1 in 1,000,000 for face id…

Same
I never really gave an eye to the most recent SE , up until I got gifted this phone , and wow , i initially didnt know what to say as to i didnt really look it up , im shocked , the battery , the camera , the chipset , incredible value / incredible phone. I cant wait for the 4th generation SE , ill definitely upgrade to that as soon as its released!!
Been on Android since the days of the Nexus phones. Even though I worked on Macs for decades, the only reason I didn't buy an iPhone over the years was because I was tired of having to pay the Apple tax. Well, with AirDrop & other tools, I need to have one for my new MBP. Also, Android just isn't for me anymore.
Since I'm still too cheap to fork over $700+ for a new iPhone with 5G, I may go with an SE 2022. For the long trip days, I may just use a battery case for it.
Don't go for the se 2022. Try to go for older phones like the 11 pro. Performance is similar and battery is better too. The display is way better because it's OLED and has bigger screen thanks to absence of the bezels.
No offense, but the apple tax is a weird misconception. I mean where else are you going to get a phone that works just fine after 7 years and still has most of the functionality of the new phones?!
I bought the 2nd gen SE specifically because of the button and unlock feature. It’s the best ever.
My only complaint about my SE (2020) is, here in 2022 my battery is starting to get noticeably worse, it still will get me through the day for the most part which is good, I guess I’ll try the iFixit battery you suggested as I’m still loving my 2020 model
Me too.
I have this phone. It's one of my 6 daily drivers. The battery lasts long. Way longer that the last model SE.
I just upgraded from se 2. Loving it so far. This my 3 se hope they keep making them
They should launched a version of this phone in the 8 plus body. That would be just perfect for me since I prefer good battery and lcd display (i have headaches with oled screens).
I prefer the smaller form factor of the 8/SE and I prefer Touch ID over Face ID any day
@@NightDevilMacGeneral same
My only complaint about the iPhone se is I wish there were more color options, but it’s not a huge deal for me.
Apple is selling spray paint cans
I have been going back and forth between iPhone 11 or new SE. I had pretty much decided on the 11 then at Apple store yesterday the girl there pushed the SE over the 11 because of the chip. I just subscribed and really enjoy your channel!
which one is better?
@@klassickingz9094 I’m still not sure!🤣
I have the 11 and the battery life degraded faster than any of my other iPhones. It is at 78% and barely 2 years old. It's also bloody heavy and gets tiresome on the wrists after awhile. I also think the Face ID is annoying cus it can be hit or miss. I really liked having the home button on older phones and just sold my 11 as I want a phone with a better battery.
Time to change the SE I bought in early 2017. Still going strong except for the battery. Blows my mind how people need to change their phones every couple of years.
I really like the SE but that battery life does get me. But I like the size and I LOVE Touch ID! I prefer it over Face ID! I have the 2020. I always swatch between it and my 11 Pro.
It’s the Touch ID for me 😃

The SE is Apple’s smartest move in a long time. I don’t really understand why anyone would even bother looking at other budget phones.
Got mine today and loving it.
How is battery?
I'm hoping to be able to get this iPhone SE 2022 in the future. My budget is very tight, and I'm trying to save my extra allowance in order to buy this phone, because iPhones are very expensive in the Philippines. This would be my first iPhone if I ever buy one someday. Fingers crossed for those in my situation.
I really like the iPhone SE I use it as my daily driver. My only con is that the screen has TERRIBLE viewing angles in bright light.
6:17 the LTE I get here is waaayyy faster then the 5g and is more reliable (I use the iPhone 12 mini)
ion care if people call me out for a small screen, i love this iPhone, it’s pocket size and affordable(for me atleast). love this.
No matter what people say, you are the right one!
Still the only NEW choice for an iPhone for the 10% of us that can’t use OLED due to PWM
I have an I phone 6 s. The only reason I want a new one is because the battery only lasts 3 hours. The battery life was great when new however the battery life deteriorated over time. I hope the current I phones have better longevity.
You have a comforting enthousiasm!
I live in a rural area in Australia and with my 2022 SE I get around 400mbps of 5G speeds running on the Telstra network.
A friend asked me if he should buy the SE recently, but we found a refurbished 64 GB XR instead for AUD$280 (that's about US$185) including a 1 year warranty which we decided was a better deal. The rumour is that the next SE is going to be based on the XR design.
Great job on this
plz deliver it to apple that we(SE users) want 80/90hz display and a little bit more battery on next SE..We love this current design,camera and specifications...Many Android phones give 90hz in this price range..
Accessories for the iPhone 6, 7 and 8 still work with the new SE.
In my country, the postpaid line I'm using has a free 5G coverage and it's pretty fast. That alone is enough for me to use the SE. Battery isn't that bad. It can last a day with average use.
I love my SE so far. I actually prefer a small screen
I wanted 256 gb at the lowest price, so I got this phone today :) besides, I can reuse my old cases and I have such small hands that even mu current iphone 11 feels big (64 gb and already full…)
The size of this phone is perfect. If I can’t use it one handed I don’t want it.
I bought it and this phone is such a powerhouse. It is a great little phone
I have the SE 2020. I was looking at the Mini’s because the size is similar, but I really don’t like the notch/price. Would be great if the next SE had a dual camera! Would literally be the best of both worlds.
I'm getting an iPhone SE 2022 later today and I'm watching this video to make the time pass by faster. I'm moving away from Android because Apple Arcade has far better exclusives. I have reached a point in my life where I refuse to play games that have ads and in-app purchases. That's why I only play games from Netflix and from later today Apple Arcade.
I am thinking seriously about buying this IPhone SE 2022 since I never have owned one before.I watched other reviews On this IPhone SE 2022 that we're negative Oh the battery doesn't last all day I don't believe that I believe what you say about how long the battery life is...
Buy far everything that you have said in your reviews about this new phone I believe you not the other Na Sayers you tell it like it is And the sad part is you have to buy a 20watt adapter or higher to fast charge it Bummer,At least Apple could have included the Charger adapter with this Iphone.....👍👍👍👍👍
Oh you did the "click, click" thing. I loved it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Blessings on your day!
I have the iPhone SE second generation I had it since less today and my opinion on it at first I thought it would be like a normal iPhone because this is the first iPhone that I ever had my opinion on it is good people mock me because I have a small screen but I don’t care one of my friends have it the iPhone SE third-generation generation what is good
13 mini is the way to go. Yes, it costs a good chunk more but it’s worth it. Even smaller and more comfortable to hold. Yet with a bigger screen (plus OLED). Gestures are more convenient than constant home button clicking, the cameras are better, double storage, a better battery and I’m sure I forgot some things… Just went from SE 2020 to 13 Mini and it feels absolutely luxurious and I love it.
I like the mini as well. I'm tired of caring my big phone around. But it's battery capacity seems rather low, at least on paper. How are you doing with the battery life so far?
@@191. battery is decent. Lasts all day with light to medium use. I top up in the evening usually but overall I’ve had iPhones with worse battery life. The battery shouldn’t keep anyone from getting this phone in my opinion. Apparently the 12 mini had noticeably worse battery life and so do all the SE iPhones.
@@BrenR Thanks! That's been just one of my concerns. The stupid notch and lack of a fingerprint reader is a deal-breaker for me.
@@191. I see. I will report that this being my first Face ID phone, I’ve immensely enjoyed that feature. Now that it works with masks (even combined with glasses), it’s more reliable than Touch ID for me. And I unlock it A LOT when I do dozens of deliveries every night. I held out because of lack of Touch ID during the pandemic but it’s so much more enjoyable with Face ID for me. Just my experience!
@@BrenR I understand. Fingerprint readers seem faster for me, as you can unlock your phone on its way from your pocket and when you look at it, it's already unlocked. I guess LG V30 spoiled me on this one. HAHA. It was super convenient!
This'll be the first phone that I buy for myself as an adult and my current one was purchased august 2019. finally making the switch to apple and it should be fun
I’ve had mine for 2 years now and it’s awesome. Battery is getting worn down some so I might replace it at some point. Otherwise it still works as it should
I love my iPhone SE three and I love the price. I hate to see it go away.
i have iphone SE 2020 and it still performs like a beast!
For someone that wanted a smaller iPhone, would you recommend a 13 mini or an SE 2022?
depend on the budget, if you already have an iPad or Mac for media consuption, SE 2022 all day. Trust me on such some small screens you can't tell the quality difference at all.
@@dopemind8160 is battery life any good ? And 5G fast ?
Any chance you could squeeze in an update video on this?
I know boost mobile has this phone for free if I switch carriers. Never was a apple fan, but I think I'll go with this phone alot of good reviews. Thanks
I don't like big bulky phones this will be perfect for me - great review thanks
I love the small screen honestly, would love to buy one sometime
I have the 13 pro max and the iPhone se 22. iPhone is good for computer like tasks photos media etc. but the se is good for some quick google searches and music
Omg you're such a good seller. Apple should hire you
You can’t see the iPhone SE screen when you’re outside.
Possibly the best camera you can buy in 2024 for that money. Just about every small camera has got crazy expensive, & most point and shoot cameras have been discontinued.
I am considering this phone in 128 gb or 256 gb! Atm I have the 12 mini but want more storage
Thank You for a realistic survey. I will purchase one soon....
Not wrong at all lol i got mines for cheap its good content man!! From iphone se
The only thing that Apple needs to change about the SE is they need to make it bigger
I think that’s where the se 4 generation comes in.
I bought a mid-range Motorola Edge 2022 phone that's normally over $600 for $249 and also you are better off getting used iPhone SE with more internal storage at better prices.
Still rocking a 1st Gen SE.
The front facing camera IS the rear camera. It’s mounted on the back and faces forward. The front camera on the other hand (Selfie cam) faces rearward, just like a rear view mirror. All that stuff behind you is visible.
I loved Touch iD on my iphone 6s, but I loathed what they did to the Home Button from the 7 onward.
It'd be OK, if you could turn that "jolt" off, but you can't.
Strange. On my cheapo Samsung A21s, I can turn off the vibrate on the fingerprint sensor!
Go figure. Apple COULD do it, but, of course, they won't. Ditto updating that god awful keyboard.
That said, a phone that can be opened and then used on its back (in a case) is always a plus, in my book. You can do that with Touch iD and I used to love it.
You can't do that with any of the other iPhones, well not without the damn thing wobbling due to the fact that none of the cases actually hide the gross Camera Hump.
Again, Apple could fix this, but they won't, they don't care!
They'll happily charge over £1000 fora wobbly phone and suckers will buy them.
Kerr-CHING £$£$
Still, I gather that they're finally going to ditch the pig-ugly notch this year?
No doubt they'll trumpet this as an "innovation!"
theres a setting to lower it to barley feel it.
@@youngjacuzzi3676 Thanks, you're right, I've tried it. But, I don't want to feel it at all! 😉
I remember buying a One+3 a while back and its Home Button had an annoying "buzz," but you could opt to turn it off.
Like I said, Apple could easily sort this and give its customers the option to turn the damn thing off entirely. But, they won't!
@@neorich59 still using a 6S. This was one thing that was bothering me - I kept reading people saying the new button felt just like a real one, but I was never convinced. The other loss is the force press, which I use a lot on the left edge of the screen to switch apps. On the subject of the camera hump and wobbling, I've even studying what phones people are using nowadays when I'm out and about, and essentially 100% of 2 or 3 camera iPhone users have theirs in a case, the only time you ever see careless ones is 6S/7/8, so that backs up that theory. (I do photography with a 'real' camera, so when I eventually upgrade to an SE the lack of wide angle/telephoto won't bother me.)
Here in Canada the 128GB iPhone SE costs $649 while the 128GB 13 mini costs $949, is the 13 mini too expensive?
