The iPhone SE 3, or the “new” iPhone SE, as Apple likes to call it, is finally out! All the leaks and rumours were true! The iPhone SE 3 is essentially an updated iPhone SE 2020 – it still looks the same and other than the 5G chip, the differences seem to be minimal. The iPhone SE 2022 starts at a price of $429, which is much higher than the starting price of the original 4G iPhone SE from 2020. Plus, the original iPhone SE 2020 is no more.

However, some of the online stores are still selling the iPhone SE 2020 and you must be stuck with this question – should I save money and get the outgoing iPhone SE 2020, or should I spend more and get the updated iPhone SE 2022? If you are confused, you should know the differences between these two smartphones.

In fact, we had a quick look and it seems there are 5 key differences, or 5 key upgrades you get with the new iPhone SE 2022.

1.Processor

The iPhone SE 2022 gets the faster A15 Bionic chip from the iPhone 13. This means you get up to a claimed 1.2 times faster graphics performance than the older A13 chip on the iPhone SE 2020. This means gaming on the new iPhone SE should be better than before.

2. Battery

Apple does not release the exact specifications but the iPhone SE 2022 promises two hours of extra video playback over the older model. That is a substantial boost on paper but it remains to be seen how the new iPhone SE 2022 fares in the real world. The iPhone SE 2020 can barely last a single day.

3. Upgraded Camera features

With the A15 chip, Apple brings the HDR4 and Deep Fusion technologies to the new iPhone SE. Hence, despite having the same old 12MP single rear camera, the iPhone SE 2022 should be able to take more colourful and detailed photos than the iPhone SE 2020.

The iPhone SE 2022 also gets the Photographic Styles feature from the iPhone 13. Hence, you will be able to save your photographic style preferences, and even tweak the colour science to your liking.

4. Tougher than before

Apple says the iPhone SE 2022 has the toughest glass in a smartphone on both the front and rear. No mention of whether this is the Ceramic Shield glass but Apple promises more resistance to drops and water spills.

5. “New” colours

Well, only the name is new but the colour shades seem to appear unchanged. The Product Red version continues on the iPhone SE 2022. You also get the Midnight (Black) and Starlight (White) colours on the iPhone SE 2022.
