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 design.
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

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.

Apple iPhone SE 2022 (64GB, Midnight) AU - 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 (64GB, Starlight) AU - Excellent review

All of this makes the 2022 iPhone SE a winner, though we suspect you won’t be surprised at that. While the update to the phone isn’t much more than a spec update, it’s Apple opting to modestly update what wasn’t really broken to begin with.
Pros:
  • Still the same great classic iPhone design for folks who love a small iPhone with a home button and fingerprint sensor, Solid build, Brings a new high-speed chip to the table, Camera is still surprisingly good for a single shooter, Now includes 5G (if you want that), Better battery life than...
Cons:
  • No MagSafe, Only starts at 64GB, Camera isn't a major change

I lived with the iPhone SE (2022) for a week; here’s what I loved and what Apple needs to improve

The new iPhone SE carries the legacy of the traditional iPhone design but at the same time, packs with up-to-date hardware and intelligent software that increases the shelf life of a smartphone.
