Apple iPhone SE 2022 (256GB, Midnight) - Pristine review

The iPhone SE is one of the best bargains in modern smartphones. It is not the flashiest or most feature-rich but it offers more bang for buck for longer than any other. It has an almost vintage design, lacks the MagSafe charging and accessory system, Face ID and other niceties of Apple’s more...
Pros:
  • Pros: lowest-cost new iPhone, about seven years of software support, A15 chip, 5G, wireless charging, decent single-lens camera, top performance, easy to handle, water resistance, Touch ID, amazing value.
Cons:
  • Cons: battery life could be better, no headphone socket, no zoom camera, no Face ID, dated design, very slow charging, no MagSafe.

Apple iPhone SE 2022 (256GB, Midnight) - Pristine review

Apple’s affordable third-generation iPhone SE packs a serious A15 Bionic performance punch into its small and familiar frame—but a less-than-best display, single satisfactory camera, and a few dated design choices downgrade this iPhone from a “must-grab” to a horsepower bump for a select group.
Pros:
  • A15 Bionic chip, Affordability, Portability, Color options
Cons:
  • Display, Home button, Glass back, no ceramic shield

Apple iPhone SE 2022 (256GB, Midnight) - Pristine review

iPhone SE models are the budget line-up of Apple’s smartphones. They are not as affordable as most people would want, but they definitely do not cost an arm and a leg like the other iPhone models do.

iPhone SE 2022 review

The iPhone SE only makes sense for buyers who simply have to have an iPhone, but can’t afford the step up to the 12 Mini – or won’t give up on Touch ID just yet. If that’s you, then the iPhone SE will serve you well so long as you can stomach the dinky display and retro aesthetic – but equivalent...
Pros:
  • Latest Apple chip, Wireless charging, IP67 water-resistance
Cons:
  • Dated design, Awful LCD display, Only one rear camera, Poor value

Apple's New iPhone SE Could Have Been Great

The cheapest iPhone has the same processor as the most expensive iPhone. But it doesn't feel very special.
Pros:
  • The best-performing phone at this price. Bright screen. Decent (day-long) battery life. Wireless charging support. It's compact. Apple supports its smartphones for a long time. Sub-6 5G connectivity.
Cons:
  • The screen feels cramped
  • tough to type. No OLED, no high screen refresh rate, no two-day battery life, unlike some peers. Lack of a Night mode in the camera means low-light images aren't great.

iPhone SE 2022 Revisited: Still Worth Buying in 2023?

With a 5.4-inch LCD screen, a single camera on the back, and an ancient design, the purchase of the iPhone SE 2022 was already questionable last year. At that time, however, we recommended the phone mainly to those Apple fans who wanted to stick with the popular design with a home button.
Pros:
  • Insane performance level, High-quality workmanship, Surprisingly good photo and video performance, Solid battery life that lasts up till late at night
Cons:
  • Display is simply outdated, Too few camera functions, Low storage space in the base model without expandable memory, More expensive than predecessor at market launch

Apple iPhone SE (2022) review: Should you buy the entry level iPhone?

If you can afford to stretch your budget to the Apple iPhone 13 mini, we'd recommend it over the iPhone SE (3rd generation) any day of the week, but as an entry-level iPhone, the third generation SE is a solid performer and a great upgrade option - you just have to be able to look past that ageing...
Pros:
  • Affordable with flagship power, Excellent performance, Solid camera results, Good battery life, Touch ID is still great tech, Punchy display, 5G capabilities, Some photography iPhone 13 features, Excellent software experience
Cons:
  • Old design, Poor low light camera performance, Single camera, No display changes, No MagSafe
