I think an iPhone SE using the iPhone 8 Plus design would help solve the phones inherent limitations - better battery life, bigger screen, dual cameras, no major manufacturing changes needed by apple.
Apple is very lazy. He could have done that and kept the same price and still went out in profit, but this is apple. Maybe they're afraid it's going to sell better than 13. But for now I'll stick to android, maybe with se4 where it's expected to be in the xr case, without face id and with the fingerprint on the side.
@@abayamangali Arguably only the first generation version could be called special. (At the time) Flagship specs inside a smaller, older body. And, $400 was closer to the flagship price in 2016.
I think what they should’ve done is use the XR body, use Touch ID on the power button. Remove Face ID and then A15. You’re getting the updated design language but with cut down features.
It would cost them more money to integrate that than it would to just use the previous design Btw, their target market isn’t really looking for a phone that necessarily looks modern. Just one that does everything they need it to, takes good pictures and will last for eons in software updates
I just got an 2022 SE, I had an iPhone 8 and I am thrilled with the SE. If you can emotionally survive the occasional sneer from your friends, this phone objectively does everything and more, that one might need in a smartphone. Don’t allow Apple to unnecessarily take more of your money than what is truly needed. Keep in mind that we would all be amazed by this technology just a couple handful of moons ago.
My friends with the pro models don’t do anything more than what I do on my se 2020. They’ll show some cool “trick” that the phone will do but they’d never use it in daily life. The pro is literally for pros that produce and edit etc… on a phone. I and everyone I know, browses, streams and iMessages.
I have the se 2022 as well and I agree, it’s so good and does everything you actually need a phone for! I don’t understand why you would spend more on a pro when it does the same things essentially. It makes sense if you actually have the money to spend, but most people don’t.
@@ADC2009 great choice! It’s a great little phone. Tease your friends back about spending a ton of money on a phone that has a bunch of features they don’t need
I'm not a gamer or a heavy user. I wanted SE 3 for the small size and the A15 chip. A compact,slim,budget friendly,powerful phone that fits nicely in one hand and doesn't bother you when u put it in your pockets. Love this phone.
I had an SE (2016) until recent, loved it, I went and tried the newer SE in store.. ended up spending the extra coin and going with the mini as it felt miles ahead and thats coming from someone who always stands by the budget phones. The mini form factor seems like such a more natural successor to that original SE. Seeing this be quite similar form to the last SE to me makes it seem further behind the pack
I agree with that, Phones are getting way too big to the point where they don’t fit in your hand anymore, I feel like when i buy a phone i have to take size into consideration.
everyone here has tiny hands, my motorola g play is comfortable to hold even with a case and fits inside pockets with plenty of room. No way pockets are small to the point where phones can't even fit in
Do you say that with some arrogance or disdain or with utmost respect? I'm not 82 but I'm used to arrogant out of touch and egoistical young persons. And young persons are 18-35 and maybe 50.
@@racineurr.8924 you are seeing what you want to see. Some people just don't like to get used to newer styles. I refuse to get rid of the home button, back button, and page layout on Android even though they are pushing gesture controls. Their grandmother probably just doesn't care to learn how to navigate on the new iphones.
Exactly. I loved the iPhone 8+. I’d love to see an SE+. Same design as the 8+ but have it upgraded. When I saw the new SE being released this was my first thought.
I think it is great that Apple keeps updating the iPhone SE while still maintaining the form factor. For many senior citizens, who have a steep learning curve trying to keep up with tech these days, it is a perfect update. My mom (84) has used the past two iPhone SE models and the low-end iPad for some years now. Loosing the home button would be a nightmare for her, having to learn even more gesture controls... So, really happy that Apple sticks with this design.
I've been using the iPhone SE 2020 for a little less than a year now, and I gotta say, I've been impressed. Although the phone is not the most eye catching or maybe fun to use as a flagship iPhone, it really gets the job done. Really wouldn't be opposed to buying the 2022 edition when this one runs it's course. Cheers Apple!
I had an SE2 and upgraded to a 13 mini when it released. The screen on the SE2 was my biggest gripe - even on max brightness, any amount of sunlight and you can hardly see the screen.
I love my 13 mini I use it alongside my trusty Pixel 4 XL. I truly believe iOS is better suited for small displays like it was originally designed for. No point of having a 7inch display if you can't even have 2 apps open at the same time. Mini is the perfect size iPhone for me. My Pixel handles the real multitasking stuff.
Simple Edition is spot on. The biggest feature I want is size, the smaller the better, and after that, longevity. For a tool that is for texting friends, and the occasional email or that app you need to get around a convention, or to show your tickets at the gate of a concert, this is it. I don't use the camera, I don't use it for games, simple is what I want and I like that I can count on the SE iPhone every time.
I'm using the SE 2020 for almost 2 years. My opinion about this new SE 2022 was 1. It wasn't that big jump from the previous SE. To make it simpler they just updated the processor and 5G connectivity 2. If you're using the previous SE, I won't recommend buying this one but if you're planning to buy a new SE 2020 I can recommend of having this one instead.
Number one reason I like this form factor still is the Touch ID. It's so much more satisfying and intentional when it comes to things like Apple Pay and keychain logins.
Hey everyone! I just wanted to share some good news with you all. Let's just put it this way, the Ten Commandments are called the Moral Law. Ask yourself this. How many lies have you told? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever used God's name in vein? Have you ever hated someone or ever looked with lust? This is for you to judge yourself, but chances are that you are a lying, thieving, blasphemous, fornicating, adulterer at heart and you HAVE to face God on judgement day. Now ask yourself this. If God judges you on judgement day by these Commandments, will you be innocent or guilty? Of course you'll be guilty because we've all done these things. The truth is that none of us are good people and we NESD God's grace to make it to heaven. We judt simply cannot do it on our own. These Commandments arecalled the Moral Law. You and I broke the law, Jesus payed the fine. So now what we must do to be saved is to repent of our sins and trust alone in Jesus Christ! To repent doesn't mean to just say I'm sorry, but to turn from our sins and let Him truly be our Lord continually. He said that many will say to Him, Lord, Lord I have done all of these things for you. And He will say I never knew you. Depart from Me, ye who work iniquity! And those will be cast into outer darkness and raging hellfire and loneliness for all of eternity!!! Because we broke His law, He is very, very just to send us to hell. If someone had murdered 4 people and said to the judge, I've done nice things too and have tried to treat people nice but it was just one time, the judge would then say, okay but you're going to jail. And the judge is very just to do that. One last thing, if you were 10,000 feet in the air and you had to jump, you wouldn't jump out and flap your arms and try to save yourself. That's ridiculous! You would put on the parachute. It is the same with Jesus. You must trust Him as you trust the parachute. We are not good and we cannot save ourselves with our own goodness. We must trust alone in Him to save us. In just a moment of time you can pass from death to life. Jesus said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again." That is how we enter heaven. Through the blood and grace of Jesus Christ!!!!✝️If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one. We like to compare ourselves to guys like Hitler and say, "Hey, I'm a pretty good guy compared to him." But when we compare ourselves to God's standard, we realize that the Bible speaks truth when it says that we all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God!!! When we see this ( our sin in its TRUE light), we see how much trouble we are in and we say, "Well then there's nothing I can do. I'm going to hell for sure then." It's true that there is nothing that WE can do, but there is something that has already been done for you! God sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins! So to recieve that eternal sweet sweet forgiveness, all we must do is repent of our sins (meaning to continually turn from them and confess them) and trust alone in Christ as you trust a parachute. If I was to push you out of an airplane, you'd want the parachute for sure! Don't try to flap your arms and save yourself, trust in the parachute! His finished work on the Cross IS ENOUGH!! He is the only way to Heaven, He said it Himself!! These other religions teach that we must he good and do good things and then maybe if we've been good enough, we will enter Heaven. But if that is true then we are all doomed to eternal hell because none of us are good. That's why this makes sense. Look at the Ten Commandments, they are written on your heart right now!! I promise that you have violated them. And you might still be doing that today. Therefore God is just to poor out His wrath on us because we deserve it!! But Christ died for us so that we can spend eternity in Heaven with Him! Turn to Him today, and He and only He will save your soul "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again ( to go to Heaven)."✝️The true joy of Christ dwells in me!!! Does it in you? I know where I'm going when I die! Do you? I have an ETERNAL victory! Do you? I have more joy than ever because of what Christ has done. I have been down both roads. The road of the wicked and the road of Christ. Christ is way better and my cup runneth over with true joy and salvation. If you do not know the One true God and are not sure of your salvation, I promise He will never fail you. Turn to Him in repentance and faith. Repent means to confess and forsake your sins, never turning back to them. I tried changing on my own but I couldn't. It took the power of Christ on the inside of me to do it for me. He will give you a new and clean heart with new and clean desires and you shall be born again. A new creation in Christ Jesus!! Hallelujah!!! Jesus said in order to enter the Kingdom of God, you must be born again! Thank you Lord Jesus!✝️
Since the iPhone SE came out it was always the best version for me. Using the 2020 now and I will upgrade, but this thing still works. Considering I don’t ask much of my iPhone, I won’t rush to upgrade on release day, but I will eventually. The iPhone 8 form factor was always my favorite for some reason. Just simple, and I love Touch ID. I’m definitely in the target market for this phone.
the real concern for me to the SE version are the display I want at least an 1080p (i don't care about the refresh rate I think it's an overrated thing) an ultrawide camera and better battery, in this case I think I can consider to buy an iphone and even switch from android, but 'till then...
Marques' reviews are awesome and my go to. He's not into crazy theatrics but still creative and fun. More importantly, he tells exactly what is there to know and answers any questions I have about a product. Marques also raises questions I was not even aware of but now realize I need to. Bravo, Mr. Brownlee!
I still have and use the iPhone SE from 2016. It's been 6 years and it still works perfectly fine... with one exception - the battery life. As someone who uses only the most basic phone features models like this are attractive to me.
Same here, but I might have to force myself to the 13 Mini as they are getting rid of it and its the last smaller phone. This SE is bigger than a 13 mini. I wouldve loved the 2016 SE but edge to edge screen
@@Alex-xg8py It's pretty much what the 13 mini is. It's the same size as the first SE, only a bit thicker, with edge to edge screen and better cameras. I'd like a small budget friendly phone, but I'm tired of paying 500+ for a phone for just basic phone functions, although the mini intrigues me because of its size. I might have to go for the SE3.
Agreed, just came here to moan about losing my OG SE today 😂 other than the battery life (which wasn’t a big deal for how it was used) it was perfectly adequate, and considering the battery was never replaced(!) It also had a headphone jack, something I’m struggling to get around the loss of…
Agree with this one. I'm mulling over 13 mini but i really don't like face id. The notch is hideous. And it's so expensive. I'm thinking of getting this one but i don't like the 8 body. I loved the 5, SE16 body the best. I'm still salty about the ios 10 "downgrade". 9 was the best.
Everything people complain about with the SE (other than battery life) are total positives for me. I like the single shallow camera. I like the efficient, rectangular display. And I love the home button. The only reason I got a 13 mini was the fact that it’s physically smaller (could still stand to be even smaller, though), the square-edge body design, and the better battery life. Otherwise I prefer everything about the SE. I hope Apple continues not destroying the wonderful simplicity of something that works perfectly and just keeps dropping newer chips in it.
I think Simple Edition really gets to the heart of this phone's best market. There's a comment here about someone who uses it for their gran, and I think that's a perfect example of the kind of user this phone could be perfect for. A simple iPhone that doesn't have a lot of the bells and whistles, is going to last more than a few years, is cheap(ish), easy to use and has a more "old school" interface (i.e. still includes the home button) is a perfect fit for a more tech phobic or non-tech-knowledgable user.
@@TheOrreWombell find a new sub $150 android phones with bezels and physical button and antutu score above 80000(bare minimum now days) and updates for 5 years.
@@ruiguo0824 I don’t recall saying at any point that they didn’t. I’m actually a fan of the home button myself and held off updating until this year for that very reason.
@@TheOrreWombell If you know a device for $150 brand new, that will operate with the speed and power of the iPhone, have as good a camera, with near guaranteed software updates for at least 3-4 years, will still be fully usable and running the flagship Android OS after those 3/4 years then you should snap them up now and sell them at double rate because you know something no one else does.
I think you missing the point, people who buy this phone just want to keep the old feel of the phone, most don't care about taking pictures with it as much they don't care for screen size and they don't care about playing top graphics games they just want to use it for what it is a phone
For people who love the way that old phone design feels in your hand and the finger print reader. Most older iPhone users still love that. Not every iPhone user is tech savy. Price should be cheaper. People who still use an iPhone 8 don't really need to upgrade to this but they can.
I don't even this half of iphone users are tech savvy. I would say at most 20% on a high end of people who buy new tech are savvy, most people just upgrade to have "the best". that being said apple no longer cares about the average joe, look at their new laptops for example along side of their new phones. I personally have been using the 1plus 7 pro, due to its great full screen display and popup camera for a true full screen.
But me and you are the target market. We like a reliable bargain & can’t be upsold. I am literally waiting to get the SE3 after it’s been out a year - maybe even refurbished for that extra saving. It will proceed to serve me for 4 years and that’s just fine with me.
Also important to mention that this is one of the few sub $450 dollar phones that can still turn a decent profit. No new tooling costs, design costs, R&D. The longer it sticks around the more profit this enclosure will make Apple
Well...obviously...since it is a $299 (at best) phone at a barely sub-$450 price. OF COURSE it can turn a profit when it is overpriced for what you get.
something I appreciate about the SE series is that I've been able to use the same type of accessories/cases since my iPhone 8 - but I look at SE phones like "LTS" linux releases. Won't get all the bells and whistles but usually get good enough performance where it counts for a long time.
Looked for this comment, 100% agree. Backwards compatible accessories are the #1 luxury I loved having an original SE and 2020 SE. Knowing there are dozens if not hundreds of budget price case designs and options available for the phone on day 1 is a huge sell that wouldn’t be possible of they just add another camera or tenth of an inch to the size anywhere and made it its own model. Someone has to have noticed that perk when considering what the SE model’s target audience typically is.
You're not the only one recognizing this. It took a while, that's also part of why apple releases a SE so soon again. They are pulling a "free marketing" by releasing a "new" model like every android OEM
5:20 SE 2020 user here. We DO NOT want thinner bezels or larger screens or higher refresh. We are the market for this, not iphone 13 max youtube reviewers. As you stated, spending the R&D money on newer chips instead of body or features suits us fine. Also, car navigation and battery? My phone is connected to the car for car play. Battery issue solved!
It’s genuinely the perfect old people phone. The home button makes it dirt easy for elderly people to use and understand, since it’s exactly like every other iPhone they’ve ever had. It’s the epitome of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”.
I thought I’d miss it but Face ID is better. Plus the swipe gestures are WAAAAYYY better than the home button. You can switch apps so much quicker than double tapping the button
Great review! I'll only call the SE the "Simple Edition" from now on. I just upgraded from the SE '20 to the 13 Pro Max and obviously such a huge upgrade. Apple needs to make 128GB the bare min on all their phones!
I'd agree but storage size is truly a tech enthusiast issue only. I have a lot of family, friends, and people I fix devices for still with under 128GB. Mostly with 32-64GB phones that don't get close to using all that storage. They just don't need it. Not that 128GB wouldn't be nice but it's not an issue for most. Also for that to happen, 512GB, 1TB, & 2TB prices have to go down.
Had an iphone SE 2020 for two years. Loved the small size, loved the design, yes I even like the thick bezels. But what ultimately became a dealbreaker was the battery. I'm a pretty heavy user, and when I charged the phone before going to bed, by the next day after my commute to work (listening to spotify and browsing the web) I was already down at like 50 percent. Switched to an 13 this year, not used to the bigger size yet but a vast difference in battery.
I am doing the same thing, I'm glad to hear about the battery in the 13 being better as that is what I just ordered. I also loved the design of the SE, but the battery is just becoming too difficult to live with. I am constantly worried that it will run out if I need maps to get home.
I have exactly the Same Story. Bought a SE in 2020 and 2 Weeks ago it wouldnt load anymore, so i bought a 13. I Hope the battery now will last longer. My Plan would be to not buy a new phone for the next 5 years
I've been using the SE 1 since it was born. Upgrading to the SE 3 feels like the best phone ever created. And that home button is still the best thing about it. Apple knows who I am. A customer who hates to have to use any phone at all. You're welcome.
Honestly, this phone is perfect for my dad. He has been using his iPhone 8 since he got it from my mom when she upgraded. He constantly complains about battery life and how its relatively slow, but he refuses to get the new style of iPhone. This is exactly what he needs. Glad I came upon this review. Edit: lol, it's the 7 plus actually.
He complains about battery life and you are thinking about buying him a phone with even less battery life? Lol you are exactly the consumer Apple needs.
@@cemalak gonna let you in on a little known fact... Batteries degrade over time, you dunce. His battery is pushing 5 years, hence why he complains about it. This phone would be an upgrade to that. Also, I'm an android user, currently have the fold 3.
I don't consume any media on my phone, so display is just fine. Much prefer the home button over Face ID. What I REALLY want is the latest chip so that I get maximum longevity. Given those parameters, this phone is absolutely perfect for me. And I bet there's a lot of other people out there like me.
Aside from the battery size, I honestly like that Apple is keeping an old form factor around for those who like it. A close friend of mine doesn't want the bigger full screen phones and many people do not notice or need HFR. The one camera is limiting, but it's at least a good camera vs the tack on "macro" cameras that other phones add. I wish better battery, but I also wish there were more small phones like this for those who want them
You're crazy, i literally returned this phone because it's unusable, the screen is absolutely tiny, if you want a shit phone go ahead, but I'll still keep my pixel 5a which is CHEAPER
@@gangstaelegantproductions2780 I’m using my SE 2020 rn and can’t wait till my 256gb comes in this is the only good iPhone form factor imo all the others I don’t like at all
I'd love a source on the claim that people can't notice HFR. Sure, they may not realize they want it until they try it for the first time, and they certainly don't need it, but there's no evidence that people won't notice it. It'll be noticed.
Should just buy iphone 13 mini(everything is better than this) or any other budget phones, if you ask me why? This new se 2022 spec are way too outdated and overpriced, it's 2022 man seriously even android budget phone can be a flagship killer likes poco f3 the snapdragon 870 and EVERYTHING else better while costing like 100 bucks less than this is wayy batter than this new se, it's the worst I've seen from apple If you want a really good compact and SMALL phone with great spec, buy iphone 13 mini, even if it's costed more it's till 100 times better than this se I swear.
I’m here for you, iPhone SE! To be honest, I love the design. It’s sleek and slim with rounded edges that feel more premium in the hand to me than the blocky flagship phones. Just because a design has been around for a few years doesn’t mean it’s so inferior. It’s not worth hundreds to avoid a little bezel, and I like the straight screen edges without the cut out thing going on at the top. Touch ID is the best authenticator. I don’t want my iPhone to unlock every time I glance at the clock. On the main iPhones, the Face ID infrared light sensors flash you constantly even when you’re not unlocking your phone. Even though it’s widely understood that this is safe and private, it just seems creepy and unnecessary to have that low level radiation constantly. The camera is miles better than my current phone and all I would need. It’s all in how you define “features!” And like anyone, I could binge watch 52 unboxing comparison videos from techies who can’t rest til they find the latest, greatest, fastest, most satisfying phone that fulfills dreams. And it would convince me I need the pro max with a bajillion ions of who really knows what. But truth is that at the end of the day, this is the iPhone most people would be perfectly happy with at half the cost!!
Thank you so much for that comment, Jane. Very well written and great thoughts. I agree with you 100%. Unfortunately, people lost the ability to think for themselves, and let UA-camrs or companies brainwash them. I think the more people focus on phones and need the newest stuff just for “having” it, the more lonely they actually are and don’t have anything or anyONE more valuable than a phone, to use their money for
In my wildest dream, I hoped for the 2020 SE to be sold at $199 alongside the lineup. That could have been an ultimate upgrade for all the grand parents out there hanging around with 6, 6s, 7 or 8.
Straight Talk has the SE 2020 64GB for $250 but it includes 3 months of service so your really getting the phone for ~$100. Not the best service and it's locked but that's a steal if you just want a backup phone.
Yeah i agree with what you say on that because what MKBHD is asking for on the new iPhone SE like the ultrawide and bigger battery is basically what the new iPhone minis offer tbh
I kinda disagree because the s20 fe is not really in the pricerange by a long shot. I hardly ever hear Marques talk about the A- or M-Series from Samsung as an example.
I have been using the 2016 SE until today when it gave out on me after all these years... best phone I ever had. Im probably going to get this one as I don't care for all the bells and whistles. Thanks for the review!
When you consider that the iPhone 6s with the A9 processor is still supported on iOS 15, it’s crazy to think how long this SE will last with the A15. Pretty good value.
@itsZ 4747 depends on the buyer. I don't use my phone a lot so an iPhone se would be good. Mainly just use it for calling and texting and music. If I need to do anything more I would just use my laptop.
😔 I do miss Touch ID! It’s what keeps me from rushing out and getting each new flagship iPhone. I have the 11 Pro Max and sorta considered the new SE but I also don’t want to give up the cameras. What a conundrum.
Touch ID is great, by far the most confortable way to unlock a device. What's weird to me is they not adding it to the power button like on the iPad Air
Bruh u got iphone 11 pro max and thinking about SE?! Nah bro. Dont let nostalgy affect you. Just for touch ID?! Stick to the 11 pro max. Its a beast compared to SE. Not even close. And im sure face ID is already pretty good.
Just ordered one. Going from my iPhone 15 Pro max to the SE.. for pocketability and detoxing my digital life.. using email, etc will be intentional rather than habit (have to use my MacBook to do online tasks)
I just hope with the removal of the Mini from the base line up that the SE moves into the Mini body for it's next iteration of the SE. I love the Mini form factor and I want to see it live on and if it's via the SE, I'll take it.
@@cottage_pie a lot of people would prefer a bigger phone but there’s still a lot of others that prefer a smaller phone Only reason the 12 mini didn’t sell much aside from battery life is because it costed too much 13 mini was more respectable with its much more better battery life, so if they make the next SE have the form factor of an iPhone mini phone then it would gain more traction
Well IMO iPhone SE using the iPhone X's body would have been a perfect budget iPhone. An extra Ultrawide lens, bigger battery, newer design for the SE lineup, FHD+ screen.
Nah they should have just made it like the 8 plus, which hence has an additional lense, larger battery etc. But it is great for users who prefer the home button and outdated design. Children and older folks would find this phone a pleasure to use. Especially because 429$ gets you a phone that will get updates for over 6 years.
I’d recommend this phone to anyone who wants an iPhone without all the gimmicks. Just classic design with updated specs. Also, I have had nothing but pleasant experience with the battery life. It’s not iPhone 13 level, but it’s still miles ahead of an iPhone 8. I like my iPhone SE 2022.
@@booboo4ever24 this phones good still, but the iPhone 11 has a bigger crispier screen so if that’s something you want then go with the 11. I’m still very happy with this iPhone SE. I have had a case and a screen protector on it and it’s still like new condition.
I have the iPhone SE 2nd gen 2020 and it’s been my phone for 3 years. I actually like the home button and the smaller screen never bothers me. I don’t know all the differences between the 2nd gen and the newer 3rd gen one, but even the 2nd gen is a good option. I’m planning on upgrading soon so now I’m trying to pick between the iPhone 14 and 15 because I do want a bigger and newer phone as of now. I will miss the home button though!
I just bought a iPhone 13mini less than a month ago, upgrading from my iPhone 6S. No joke, I almost went with the SE just because I prefer the fingerprint reader over FaceID. For those wondering I just keep FaceID off on my 13mini and type in my code.
@@bryanalmanza9296 Overall I like it. This is only my third phone, got an iPhone 4 11 years ago, and a 6S 6 years ago. I don't use my phone a ton in my personal life other than texting, news, and music. I like that it's small. Night mode for pictures is pretty cool and I like in general how the pictures look. The speakers are very loud which is good. And I haven't killed it in a day yet. I got it $200 off with a promotion with Visible so that is nice. Price matters a lot since I'm not a power user, I just need to know it does the basics I want. I'm aiming to get 5 years out of it. My 6S for the last couple of years was starting to struggle in apps and the battery efficiently had dropped about a third. I probably could have kept going with it for a couple more years but it was starting to be a nuisance.
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’m using a 6yo iPhone 7 and it’s doing quite fine performance-wise. You were spot on when you said the top-spec chip makes sense: headroom for years to come. My dad’s still on his SE1 and only now he’s beginning to think about upgrading
@@retroman541 i was on the same page as you but now it seems the 13 mini will be the last mini I’m seriously tempted to get myself one before the mini line dies out. Maybe it’ll become the SE in a couple years? Maybe, but I‘ll upgrade this years just in case
This phone is all about being able to experience iOS at the lowest cost. I believe this is the only phone which is slim, compact and a fully reachable display. The only iPhone with the traditional finger print sensor, (nostalgia from using it from the times back then) Also if the price gets any lower, an average customer won't realise its value. Maybe a phone for the millennials to have the things that we've always seen back then in an iPhone
@@cautarepvp2079 absolutely 💯, iPhone 13 series defo looks awesome no doubt in it but when we look for some good things about the SE, thought of the FP sensor and the memories of using it. I remember back then when FP sensors were introduced in the 5S, some critics said apple collects the finger print info of people. Now when we think of face unlock, it makes sense about why they left the finger print sensor. Just sharing my thoughts, i appreciate you for your time and have an awesome day
"Maybe a phone for the millennials.." and now the millennial is used as a word for old crowd. how years go by.. to me its the size, 4.7 inches. nobody makes small compact anymore except apple. that alone makes me want to buy it. i am the crowd that still thinks a phone should be small not 6.8 inches.
Still using a 6. About time for me to upgrade. I only use the iPhone for calls and texts anyway. Especially since I added an iPad, Apple TV 4k and HomePod minis. ( plus a used MacBook in grade A condition)
Love this thing and I upgraded from the SE2020. I hope Apple keeps building the equivalent of this phone 4Eva. The form factor, the chip, and Touch ID, the price.
Hey everyone! I just wanted to share some good news with you all. Let's just put it this way, the Ten Commandments are called the Moral Law. Ask yourself this. How many lies have you told? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever used God's name in vein? Have you ever hated someone or ever looked with lust? This is for you to judge yourself, but chances are that you are a lying, thieving, blasphemous, fornicating, adulterer at heart and you HAVE to face God on judgement day. Now ask yourself this. If God judges you on judgement day by these Commandments, will you be innocent or guilty? Of course you'll be guilty because we've all done these things. The truth is that none of us are good people and we NESD God's grace to make it to heaven. We judt simply cannot do it on our own. These Commandments arecalled the Moral Law. You and I broke the law, Jesus payed the fine. So now what we must do to be saved is to repent of our sins and trust alone in Jesus Christ! To repent doesn't mean to just say I'm sorry, but to turn from our sins and let Him truly be our Lord continually. He said that many will say to Him, Lord, Lord I have done all of these things for you. And He will say I never knew you. Depart from Me, ye who work iniquity! And those will be cast into outer darkness and raging hellfire and loneliness for all of eternity!!! Because we broke His law, He is very, very just to send us to hell. If someone had murdered 4 people and said to the judge, I've done nice things too and have tried to treat people nice but it was just one time, the judge would then say, okay but you're going to jail. And the judge is very just to do that. One last thing, if you were 10,000 feet in the air and you had to jump, you wouldn't jump out and flap your arms and try to save yourself. That's ridiculous! You would put on the parachute. It is the same with Jesus. You must trust Him as you trust the parachute. We are not good and we cannot save ourselves with our own goodness. We must trust alone in Him to save us. In just a moment of time you can pass from death to life. Jesus said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again." That is how we enter heaven. Through the blood and grace of Jesus Christ!!!!✝️If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one. We like to compare ourselves to guys like Hitler and say, "Hey, I'm a pretty good guy compared to him." But when we compare ourselves to God's standard, we realize that the Bible speaks truth when it says that we all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God!!! When we see this ( our sin in its TRUE light), we see how much trouble we are in and we say, "Well then there's nothing I can do. I'm going to hell for sure then." It's true that there is nothing that WE can do, but there is something that has already been done for you! God sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins! So to recieve that eternal sweet sweet forgiveness, all we must do is repent of our sins (meaning to continually turn from them and confess them) and trust alone in Christ as you trust a parachute. If I was to push you out of an airplane, you'd want the parachute for sure! Don't try to flap your arms and save yourself, trust in the parachute! His finished work on the Cross IS ENOUGH!! He is the only way to Heaven, He said it Himself!! These other religions teach that we must he good and do good things and then maybe if we've been good enough, we will enter Heaven. But if that is true then we are all doomed to eternal hell because none of us are good. That's why this makes sense. Look at the Ten Commandments, they are written on your heart right now!! I promise that you have violated them. And you might still be doing that today. Therefore God is just to poor out His wrath on us because we deserve it!! But Christ died for us so that we can spend eternity in Heaven with Him! Turn to Him today, and He and only He will save your soul "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again ( to go to Heaven)."✝️The true joy of Christ dwells in me!!! Does it in you? I know where I'm going when I die! Do you? I have an ETERNAL victory! Do you? I have more joy than ever because of what Christ has done. I have been down both roads. The road of the wicked and the road of Christ. Christ is way better and my cup runneth over with true joy and salvation. If you do not know the One true God and are not sure of your salvation, I promise He will never fail you. Turn to Him in repentance and faith. Repent means to confess and forsake your sins, never turning back to them. I tried changing on my own but I couldn't. It took the power of Christ on the inside of me to do it for me. He will give you a new and clean heart with new and clean desires and you shall be born again. A new creation in Christ Jesus!! Hallelujah!!! Jesus said in order to enter the Kingdom of God, you must be born again! Thank you Lord Jesus!✝️
I had the se 2020. I don’t any longer but not because I didn’t like it. I really think it does everything most people need-except for maybe having a longer lasting battery. I think it takes great pics and video, all that most people need, and you can learn to live with the smaller screen. The resolution differences to me are barely noticeable. I also prefer the more rounded sleek design (not larger bezel) compared with the more squared off 12 and 13. The best small phone is still the mini but the differences may not matter to many people.
I’m getting this for my grandma and she has used an iPad for years but never had a smart phone so I’m so glad the form factor and screen with that chin has stayed because it’s familiar to people like her and she doesn’t need to learn gestures so I’m very grateful for that. It’s not appealing to the tech people because we all want the best for the best price but I still love a cheap simple phone and still has a place imo.
Ikr it took me several monthes to teach my grandmother how to use her iPhone XR, it was torture how many times I had to show her how to exit applications and take screenshots like wtf.
The SE is perfectly fit for my grandmother! It's def built to last, and fits in the palm nicely. Thankfully I got her the SE2 which has been quite a good choice now that I've seen the minor differences of the SE3
Never underestimate the power of Home Button. Liked it. Kudos to you. The way you have presented iPhone SE - 2022, no one can do better than you. Absolutely Genius - You are! Best wishes!
Great review! I still use, and love, my iPhone SE 2020. It’s definitely a Simple Edition, and that’s pretty awesome considering what you get for your money.
@@gerardomaltos2596 I can understand that. However, with “bend gate,” I could not get with the 7 Plus. Plus, felt way too much for my one-hand iPhone usage. But, I totally get that. Screen real estate on a smartphone means a LOT to me. I will say, I wish the iPhone SE had a higher screen refresh rate than just 60hz, but oh well.
SE by itself has become a product/lineup of its own. Which means you don’t have to do what the other models are doing, you just have to improve it’s own performance. Which lacks a lot in the battery department specially if you consider which consumer is using this phone, and we iphone se user would gladly have a bigger and better battery. significantly bigger, to the point you might have to change the body, bulkier chonkiermight even square up a bit but keep the praised home button and small size. Higer refresh rate would improve a lot the user experience no doubt, but a 90 low bright no high res is just the right cost benefit imho
Simply, you are the go-to-man for an honest review. I bought this model because I'm 70 years old and don't really need too much more. Thanks for the review.
If this had an OLED screen and a robust battery, it would be the perfect combination of the new and old formula. But then again, the increase of price will always be the concern here.
I’m still happy with my 2020 SE. It was my first iPhone after 8 years of android and outside of battery life I have no complaints I’ll see what the 14 looks like and if I want to upgrade to the more modern form factor

@@AureLangvinis, either that or it will be an iPhone SE+. Putting the SE+ in a XR case would make sense, because of the bigger display, camera and the SE+ could also have 4x4 MIMO instead of 2x2 MIMO, so faster 5G.
I have the iPhone 12 and I’m over it. I’m seriously thinking of getting the SE 3. I don’t do social media any longer, no need for two+ cameras, I’m a way more low key person now. Plus, he’s right. That home button. I do miss it. Plus, I’d be comfortable at 128 gb. I would only need it to call, text, send some photos and use gps. I’m a basic user these days.
I have an iPhone SE, and I appreciate you making this video. I still think it is very good, but it heats up easily when charging. I also love the home button. TouchID is at times easier to use than FaceID, like in the dark.
I think this is a winning formula. new internals in old body. You are able to upgrade what matters to most people while keeping costs down instead of half-ass'ing all the features with budget bin parts. Being deliberate about what you are upgrading to make sure those features are done correctly is more honest than trying to do everything at a lower price.
The screen though... that's horrendous for 2022. If this phone had Face ID and a full screen 1080p display but everything else the same this could be an absolute beast in the midrange market. Doesn't have to be OLED, just a 5.4 inch ish LCD with smallish bezels would make all the difference. Maybe a slightly bigger battery but that's kinda pushing it.
@@AbbasDalal1000 yeah, but nearly all those phones feel really cheap and plasticy. Or are the size of a tv, remember a lot of people, me included, just want a phone that is not to big, fast and not to expensive. something doesnt need to have 5 camera's to be a good phone.
Just picked up the iPhone SE (2022) @ Boost mobile for my 80 y/o mother and it is GREAT for $93! Out the DOOR, $50 monthly unlimited plan! Gotta have the home button! Other phones for seniors were CRAP, some with 2mp cameras. This one is the BOMB!
Love what you do marques. I've been watching you since I was 15 and I have learned so much that I can apply to my daily activities now that you also have the studio channel. Keep it up!😁
I’ve been waiting for someone to mention the importance of the regular, old home button. It really is a saving grace to my grandparents, as they have become so used to it, that they would be completely lost without one. Not to mention that it scans their finger as they press it, so they don’t have to bother adjusting their face if the angle is slightly off.
i love the SE. I've been on the XR and i'm going straight back to the SE. For someone who has a great DSLR and someone who already has enough distractions in life - the overpowered iphone SE is perfect. The fact the screen doesn't cover the entire phone is more superficial for me. It's small... it does the job. Most the time i'm using my phone is with headphones anyway (i.e not looking at it). If I were browsing or gaming for hours each day on my phone - sure I'd get a really nice larger one. Many of us are not in that camp. I'm more a laptop guy. I really hope Apple doesn't stop making small budget phones. Even if I was a millionaire I still think I'd get the iPhone SE. Perfect size.
No matter how much money I have or will have, I love small phones. Fits into my front pockets easy. And it isn't hard on my fingers. I'm getting old and carpal tunnel is kicking in. So my last phone the Motorola Edge was massive. Insane camera. But I lost it. And now, I will never buy a phone over 400. Ever. So this phone is in my budget. Plus 5G and new chip will last me for next 8 years. Hopefully. If I don't lose it in 4....
I have the 8 and gonna get this one.. Love how simple it is and that its gonna last a lot bc theres no way Im gonna spend so much money on a new phone every yr. Im giving the 8 to my little niece bc it still works good☺️
Using the iphone se 2023, i have had a iphone 12 pro max before, and i will say that this phone has been amazing for the money and has definitely made me rethink spending money like i have before on a iphone
I’ve sold a loooooot of iPhone SE phones at apple. What I’ve seen with the SE and what I recommend to certain class of customers is this is all they literally need. Additionally people who get this SE still want the home button and don’t want anything else. I think Apple keeping this phone very similar to the 8 in design but adding amazing internal components so someone who only neeeds this simplistic phone can have it long term. As well as the battery life can be frustrating in some sense but this phone is a great phone for the younger kids and teenagers getting there first iPhone with cheap apple care will last them years without parents having to over spend on a phone for their child. So I’m very happy they keep this phone because it’s so simple and very original for the people who only need this and nothing more.
@@hilmyalmagthani2654 Bullshit. Not everyone likes OLED, especially when they're sensitive to PWM which still is a thing that no one talks about despite the fact that 10% of people have problems with it.
It's actually cool the apple did this, they're literally giving the experience of a flagship chip in a budget phone, I used to sometimes think how cool my old Samsung s6 would be with the latest chipset
That's what companies like Xiaomi and realme do , giving you a budget phone ( about 450$ or a little more) that has a flagship chip but also a much better display + faster charger + bigger battery .
I've had the 2016 iPhone SE for a couple of years now and it is the perfect pocket sized phone. The way I prolong the battery life is to only turn on Mobile data when I need it. I don't play games on it and the camera is good enough for most of the snaps I need to take and the video is amazing. Having said that I will start looking at the second hand market for the new SE later in the year.
OG SE has a huge fanbase. I’ve been using mine since 2017, it’s been 5 years and I still get updates with iOS 15 and do everything I need to do with it. OG SE is probably the most supported phone in history.
I’ll switch to an iPhone 13 mini or 14 mini (if they make one) next year. Will be set till at least 2029-2030. The longevity we get on iPhones without any drop in performance is just remarkable.
In my case I've had a 6s for years now, so I've grown accustomed to a short battery life, plus I'd be getting a longer battery life. So this seems like the perfect budget upgrade for me. Thanks for the review!
For 400, I would look elsewhere as other phones at the same price range offer better screen, batteries, and features. The only thing that you most likely won't find elsewhere at the same price is the processor but I highly doubt you will use its full potential considering you come from an iPhone 6s.
@@nicolaswinter8578 photos and videos clearly aren't important if he stuck with iPhone 6 for so long. If you want to use iOS, i think 2020 se is just as good as this phone.
I upgraded from iphone 6 to a 8 in '19, almost 3 years with the 8 now because I still want the Home Button. Glad to see an Iphone SE '22 release. Might finally upgrade to something like this. Although I will admit, the classic square body design that the 12/13 have now from the Iphone 5 days is a much sexier look than the previous regime.
i just got this phone, upgraded from the 1st SE and i love it. i dont want 8 cameras or face recognition and i love the home button. i want a simple, fast and reliable iphone and thats what it is. the battery life could be better but other than that i've got no complaints and i think it looks great, not old or outdated. "if it aint broke, don't fix it". i am very annoyed by the obnoxious and unnecessary changes they made to the wallpaper settings though in ios16. 🙂
I think an iPhone SE using the iPhone 8 Plus design would help solve the phones inherent limitations - better battery life, bigger screen, dual cameras, no major manufacturing changes needed by apple.
Exactly what i was thinking, man
Apple doesn't do it because it costs them more money. They want to make as much profit as possible from their phones.
Underrated rated Comment
Not everyone wants a bigger phone.
Apple is very lazy. He could have done that and kept the same price and still went out in profit, but this is apple. Maybe they're afraid it's going to sell better than 13. But for now I'll stick to android, maybe with se4 where it's expected to be in the xr case, without face id and with the fingerprint on the side.
SE: Standard Edition, its legit just a standard iPhone
It stands for Special Edition? At least thats what Apple calls it I wouldn’t call it that. I agree with your name.
it used to be special but not really anymore
@Don't read profile photo shut up
@The Casultious Emperor… AKA Doc Ock bro the special one is the max an the small one is the mini.
@@abayamangali Arguably only the first generation version could be called special. (At the time) Flagship specs inside a smaller, older body. And, $400 was closer to the flagship price in 2016.
I think what they should’ve done is use the XR body, use Touch ID on the power button. Remove Face ID and then A15. You’re getting the updated design language but with cut down features.
It would have become a big competition to iphone 13 itself. Because there is not much difference going on since iphone 11
@Don't read profile photo :/
It would cost them more money to integrate that than it would to just use the previous design
Btw, their target market isn’t really looking for a phone that necessarily looks modern. Just one that does everything they need it to, takes good pictures and will last for eons in software updates
Let’s be honest, TouchID is way better than FaceID
@@loveallsid Face ID, OLED screen, way batter cameras, and all to save like $280 - $380?
I just got an 2022 SE, I had an iPhone 8 and I am thrilled with the SE.
If you can emotionally survive the occasional sneer from your friends, this phone objectively does everything and more, that one might need in a smartphone.
Don’t allow Apple to unnecessarily take more of your money than what is truly needed. Keep in mind that we would all be amazed by this technology just a couple handful of moons ago.
My friends with the pro models don’t do anything more than what I do on my se 2020. They’ll show some cool “trick” that the phone will do but they’d never use it in daily life. The pro is literally for pros that produce and edit etc… on a phone. I and everyone I know, browses, streams and iMessages.
I have the se 2022 as well and I agree, it’s so good and does everything you actually need a phone for! I don’t understand why you would spend more on a pro when it does the same things essentially. It makes sense if you actually have the money to spend, but most people don’t.
@@ADC2009 great choice! It’s a great little phone. Tease your friends back about spending a ton of money on a phone that has a bunch of features they don’t need
I've had the 12pro max and now I have the SE. LETS JUST SAY I WISH I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE SE FIRST 👌🏽☺️

@@humblebread5973 Yep. Have been using it since April.
I had an SE (2016) until recent, loved it, I went and tried the newer SE in store.. ended up spending the extra coin and going with the mini as it felt miles ahead and thats coming from someone who always stands by the budget phones. The mini form factor seems like such a more natural successor to that original SE. Seeing this be quite similar form to the last SE to me makes it seem further behind the pack
this might actually be part of why the se is so bad, it makes the other iphones look like a better value

I agree with that, Phones are getting way too big to the point where they don’t fit in your hand anymore, I feel like when i buy a phone i have to take size into consideration.
I too like smaller phones. I don't understand how people can have phones that are so big that you can't even put them into your pocket.
@@hemakarim5144 iphone 13 mini is also small
everyone here has tiny hands, my motorola g play is comfortable to hold even with a case and fits inside pockets with plenty of room. No way pockets are small to the point where phones can't even fit in
and its pocket size is handy. Being able to put your phone away with ease protects it. It falls way less.
Honestly glad they keep coming out with these. My 82yo grandmother could never learn to use anything more advanced in design than this.

I think it is great that Apple keeps updating the iPhone SE while still maintaining the form factor.
For many senior citizens, who have a steep learning curve trying to keep up with tech these days, it is a perfect update. My mom (84) has used the past two iPhone SE models and the low-end iPad for some years now. Loosing the home button would be a nightmare for her, having to learn even more gesture controls...
So, really happy that Apple sticks with this design.

I've been using the iPhone SE 2020 for a little less than a year now, and I gotta say, I've been impressed. Although the phone is not the most eye catching or maybe fun to use as a flagship iPhone, it really gets the job done. Really wouldn't be opposed to buying the 2022 edition when this one runs it's course. Cheers Apple!
do u still use it? what about the battery durability then?
@@qyucide I'm using mine. Battery is at 78% health.
I had an SE2 and upgraded to a 13 mini when it released. The screen on the SE2 was my biggest gripe - even on max brightness, any amount of sunlight and you can hardly see the screen.
I love my 13 mini I use it alongside my trusty Pixel 4 XL. I truly believe iOS is better suited for small displays like it was originally designed for. No point of having a 7inch display if you can't even have 2 apps open at the same time. Mini is the perfect size iPhone for me. My Pixel handles the real multitasking stuff.
Thats why they keep on doing this design
So someone gets another of this, compares the mini and geta that one instead
@@mmorales508 But they still make the max even you can't split screen RN
@@mmorales508 Samsung's OneUI is designed specifically for one handed usage.
Love my 13 mini. My favorite iPhone since the originally SE
Simple Edition is spot on. The biggest feature I want is size, the smaller the better, and after that, longevity. For a tool that is for texting friends, and the occasional email or that app you need to get around a convention, or to show your tickets at the gate of a concert, this is it. I don't use the camera, I don't use it for games, simple is what I want and I like that I can count on the SE iPhone every time.
In some areas the 12 Mini is almost the same price as the new SE though. That seem to be a better buy especially when coming from the first gen SE
Bet you prefer personality too😔

My opinion about this new SE 2022 was
1. It wasn't that big jump from the previous SE. To make it simpler they just updated the processor and 5G connectivity
2. If you're using the previous SE, I won't recommend buying this one but if you're planning to buy a new SE 2020 I can recommend of having this one instead.

Hey everyone! I just wanted to share some good news with you all. Let's just put it this way, the Ten Commandments are called the Moral Law. Ask yourself this. How many lies have you told? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever used God's name in vein? Have you ever hated someone or ever looked with lust? This is for you to judge yourself, but chances are that you are a lying, thieving, blasphemous, fornicating, adulterer at heart and you HAVE to face God on judgement day. Now ask yourself this. If God judges you on judgement day by these Commandments, will you be innocent or guilty? Of course you'll be guilty because we've all done these things. The truth is that none of us are good people and we NESD God's grace to make it to heaven. We judt simply cannot do it on our own. These Commandments arecalled the Moral Law. You and I broke the law, Jesus payed the fine. So now what we must do to be saved is to repent of our sins and trust alone in Jesus Christ! To repent doesn't mean to just say I'm sorry, but to turn from our sins and let Him truly be our Lord continually. He said that many will say to Him, Lord, Lord I have done all of these things for you. And He will say I never knew you. Depart from Me, ye who work iniquity! And those will be cast into outer darkness and raging hellfire and loneliness for all of eternity!!! Because we broke His law, He is very, very just to send us to hell. If someone had murdered 4 people and said to the judge, I've done nice things too and have tried to treat people nice but it was just one time, the judge would then say, okay but you're going to jail. And the judge is very just to do that. One last thing, if you were 10,000 feet in the air and you had to jump, you wouldn't jump out and flap your arms and try to save yourself. That's ridiculous! You would put on the parachute. It is the same with Jesus. You must trust Him as you trust the parachute. We are not good and we cannot save ourselves with our own goodness. We must trust alone in Him to save us. In just a moment of time you can pass from death to life. Jesus said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again." That is how we enter heaven. Through the blood and grace of Jesus Christ!!!!✝️If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one. We like to compare ourselves to guys like Hitler and say, "Hey, I'm a pretty good guy compared to him." But when we compare ourselves to God's standard, we realize that the Bible speaks truth when it says that we all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God!!! When we see this ( our sin in its TRUE light), we see how much trouble we are in and we say, "Well then there's nothing I can do. I'm going to hell for sure then." It's true that there is nothing that WE can do, but there is something that has already been done for you! God sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins! So to recieve that eternal sweet sweet forgiveness, all we must do is repent of our sins (meaning to continually turn from them and confess them) and trust alone in Christ as you trust a parachute. If I was to push you out of an airplane, you'd want the parachute for sure! Don't try to flap your arms and save yourself, trust in the parachute! His finished work on the Cross IS ENOUGH!! He is the only way to Heaven, He said it Himself!! These other religions teach that we must he good and do good things and then maybe if we've been good enough, we will enter Heaven. But if that is true then we are all doomed to eternal hell because none of us are good. That's why this makes sense. Look at the Ten Commandments, they are written on your heart right now!! I promise that you have violated them. And you might still be doing that today. Therefore God is just to poor out His wrath on us because we deserve it!! But Christ died for us so that we can spend eternity in Heaven with Him! Turn to Him today, and He and only He will save your soul "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again ( to go to Heaven)."✝️The true joy of Christ dwells in me!!! Does it in you? I know where I'm going when I die! Do you? I have an ETERNAL victory! Do you? I have more joy than ever because of what Christ has done. I have been down both roads. The road of the wicked and the road of Christ. Christ is way better and my cup runneth over with true joy and salvation. If you do not know the One true God and are not sure of your salvation, I promise He will never fail you. Turn to Him in repentance and faith. Repent means to confess and forsake your sins, never turning back to them. I tried changing on my own but I couldn't. It took the power of Christ on the inside of me to do it for me. He will give you a new and clean heart with new and clean desires and you shall be born again. A new creation in Christ Jesus!! Hallelujah!!! Jesus said in order to enter the Kingdom of God, you must be born again! Thank you Lord Jesus!✝️
Touch ID is the goat. Much better than 1984 Facial recognition
Since the iPhone SE came out it was always the best version for me. Using the 2020 now and I will upgrade, but this thing still works. Considering I don’t ask much of my iPhone, I won’t rush to upgrade on release day, but I will eventually. The iPhone 8 form factor was always my favorite for some reason. Just simple, and I love Touch ID. I’m definitely in the target market for this phone.
I think the second generation SE is amazing, but the battery longevity is horrible.
I’m using a se 1 and it’s still good
@@psyche5893 Just don’t update the phone and you should be fine.
the real concern for me to the SE version are the display I want at least an 1080p (i don't care about the refresh rate I think it's an overrated thing) an ultrawide camera and better battery, in this case I think I can consider to buy an iphone and even switch from android, but 'till then...
@@M4V35 didn’t really notice a difference in display between mini and iPhone se. Hey it’s there, but it didn’t bother me at all.
Marques' reviews are awesome and my go to. He's not into crazy theatrics but still creative and fun. More importantly, he tells exactly what is there to know and answers any questions I have about a product. Marques also raises questions I was not even aware of but now realize I need to. Bravo, Mr. Brownlee!
I still have and use the iPhone SE from 2016. It's been 6 years and it still works perfectly fine... with one exception - the battery life. As someone who uses only the most basic phone features models like this are attractive to me.
I still use mine as well. I got a new high capacity battery and it lasts super long now.
Same here, but I might have to force myself to the 13 Mini as they are getting rid of it and its the last smaller phone. This SE is bigger than a 13 mini. I wouldve loved the 2016 SE but edge to edge screen
@@Alex-xg8py It's pretty much what the 13 mini is. It's the same size as the first SE, only a bit thicker, with edge to edge screen and better cameras. I'd like a small budget friendly phone, but I'm tired of paying 500+ for a phone for just basic phone functions, although the mini intrigues me because of its size. I might have to go for the SE3.
Agreed, just came here to moan about losing my OG SE today 😂 other than the battery life (which wasn’t a big deal for how it was used) it was perfectly adequate, and considering the battery was never replaced(!) It also had a headphone jack, something I’m struggling to get around the loss of…
Agree with this one. I'm mulling over 13 mini but i really don't like face id. The notch is hideous. And it's so expensive. I'm thinking of getting this one but i don't like the 8 body. I loved the 5, SE16 body the best. I'm still salty about the ios 10 "downgrade". 9 was the best.
Everything people complain about with the SE (other than battery life) are total positives for me. I like the single shallow camera. I like the efficient, rectangular display. And I love the home button. The only reason I got a 13 mini was the fact that it’s physically smaller (could still stand to be even smaller, though), the square-edge body design, and the better battery life. Otherwise I prefer everything about the SE. I hope Apple continues not destroying the wonderful simplicity of something that works perfectly and just keeps dropping newer chips in it.
Do you know any other good new smartphones that have rectangular displays? The closest I can find is Sony Xperia 10 iv.
@@guestc142 No idea, but I'm really not the guy to ask (I would never use Android, so I don't know what's out there in that regard).
13 mini has a much better camera though. I use to have an se(2020).
The battery life isn’t that bad, and most places you will be able to charge
I think Simple Edition really gets to the heart of this phone's best market. There's a comment here about someone who uses it for their gran, and I think that's a perfect example of the kind of user this phone could be perfect for. A simple iPhone that doesn't have a lot of the bells and whistles, is going to last more than a few years, is cheap(ish), easy to use and has a more "old school" interface (i.e. still includes the home button) is a perfect fit for a more tech phobic or non-tech-knowledgable user.

For people who love the way that old phone design feels in your hand and the finger print reader. Most older iPhone users still love that. Not every iPhone user is tech savy. Price should be cheaper. People who still use an iPhone 8 don't really need to upgrade to this but they can.
Broooo!! Congratss!!!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I'd say there are more people who are tech savvy using an Android than an iPhone.
I don't even this half of iphone users are tech savvy. I would say at most 20% on a high end of people who buy new tech are savvy, most people just upgrade to have "the best". that being said apple no longer cares about the average joe, look at their new laptops for example along side of their new phones. I personally have been using the 1plus 7 pro, due to its great full screen display and popup camera for a true full screen.
most IPhone users are not tech savy lol
Battery is a sucker
I have a 2020 SE, and it’s seriously the only Apple purchase which I don’t regret.
It’s the only iPhone that’s not overpriced to hell and back.
But me and you are the target market. We like a reliable bargain & can’t be upsold.
I am literally waiting to get the SE3 after it’s been out a year - maybe even refurbished for that extra saving.
It will proceed to serve me for 4 years and that’s just fine with me.
I also have the 2020 SE and I love the size and the home button but the battery life tho. It's horrid.
Something that's overpriced wouldn't sell millions of units in a competitive market.
You should have bought the iPhone SE and then traded it in and got like $500.00 off an iPhone 12 or iPhone 13.
@@chicitizen maths genius.
A new SE is $399-429 for the base.
Also important to mention that this is one of the few sub $450 dollar phones that can still turn a decent profit. No new tooling costs, design costs, R&D. The longer it sticks around the more profit this enclosure will make Apple
True.
@Don't read profile photo ok i won't
Exactly.. best thing to do is not buy this phone
Because of the Apple branding. If any other manufacturer in any industry brings out an outdated af product like this, it's gonna flop.
Well...obviously...since it is a $299 (at best) phone at a barely sub-$450 price. OF COURSE it can turn a profit when it is overpriced for what you get.
It’s December 2022 and I just bought a grade A refurbished SE (2020) 128 GB for 180 euros. Best deal of my life, I’m very happy.
something I appreciate about the SE series is that I've been able to use the same type of accessories/cases since my iPhone 8 - but I look at SE phones like "LTS" linux releases. Won't get all the bells and whistles but usually get good enough performance where it counts for a long time.
Looked for this comment, 100% agree. Backwards compatible accessories are the #1 luxury I loved having an original SE and 2020 SE. Knowing there are dozens if not hundreds of budget price case designs and options available for the phone on day 1 is a huge sell that wouldn’t be possible of they just add another camera or tenth of an inch to the size anywhere and made it its own model. Someone has to have noticed that perk when considering what the SE model’s target audience typically is.
Yes
this struck a chord with me, thanks for sharing this insight
You're not the only one recognizing this. It took a while, that's also part of why apple releases a SE so soon again. They are pulling a "free marketing" by releasing a "new" model like every android OEM
You can use the same case as the iPhone 6
I love how genuinely honest you are
5:20
SE 2020 user here. We DO NOT want thinner bezels or larger screens or higher refresh. We are the market for this, not iphone 13 max youtube reviewers. As you stated, spending the R&D money on newer chips instead of body or features suits us fine.
Also, car navigation and battery? My phone is connected to the car for car play. Battery issue solved!
I love my iPhone SE. I don’t want a huge phone, and I definitely don’t care what anyone else thinks.
It’s genuinely the perfect old people phone. The home button makes it dirt easy for elderly people to use and understand, since it’s exactly like every other iPhone they’ve ever had. It’s the epitome of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”.
Plus the budget carriers will just be giving this thing away no one is paying 429 for this thing
So true! This is the one I plan to get for my parents (in their 60s) who are used to the button.
A that price point, you are kidding me? The perfect phone for old people
Yeah sure, nowadays old people want to have that small 4.7 inch screen instead of something bigger because they have such good eye visibility
If the screen is bigger i would say yes
the selling point for this phone for me personally is Touch ID. nothing beats unlocking your phone even before it leaves your pocket.
Problem is when it is on the table. Quite annoying to unlock in my opinion.
Nothing beats the feeling when you pull out your phone and it has run out of battery
@@amaljoe367 you playing pubg in your pocket?
I swim a lot, so whenever my fingers are wet or pruny, or even sweaty, it won’t unlock and it’s very annoying.
I thought I’d miss it but Face ID is better. Plus the swipe gestures are WAAAAYYY better than the home button. You can switch apps so much quicker than double tapping the button

Great review! I'll only call the SE the "Simple Edition" from now on. I just upgraded from the SE '20 to the 13 Pro Max and obviously such a huge upgrade. Apple needs to make 128GB the bare min on all their phones!
Amen to 128.
@@ullasbabu1732 amen
I'd agree but storage size is truly a tech enthusiast issue only. I have a lot of family, friends, and people I fix devices for still with under 128GB. Mostly with 32-64GB phones that don't get close to using all that storage. They just don't need it. Not that 128GB wouldn't be nice but it's not an issue for most. Also for that to happen, 512GB, 1TB, & 2TB prices have to go down.
SE probably stands for Steve Edition
iRemember iPhone 4S coming out when Steve Jobs passed away
After that this SE nomenclature came up
Scam Edition
Had an iphone SE 2020 for two years. Loved the small size, loved the design, yes I even like the thick bezels. But what ultimately became a dealbreaker was the battery. I'm a pretty heavy user, and when I charged the phone before going to bed, by the next day after my commute to work (listening to spotify and browsing the web) I was already down at like 50 percent. Switched to an 13 this year, not used to the bigger size yet but a vast difference in battery.
I am doing the same thing, I'm glad to hear about the battery in the 13 being better as that is what I just ordered. I also loved the design of the SE, but the battery is just becoming too difficult to live with. I am constantly worried that it will run out if I need maps to get home.
I have exactly the Same Story. Bought a SE in 2020 and 2 Weeks ago it wouldnt load anymore, so i bought a 13. I Hope the battery now will last longer. My Plan would be to not buy a new phone for the next 5 years
I’m JUST switching from the SE 2020 to the 13. Same reason
i've had the SE since last year. it's so simple, small, and just works so well
I've been using the SE 1 since it was born. Upgrading to the SE 3 feels like the best phone ever created. And that home button is still the best thing about it. Apple knows who I am. A customer who hates to have to use any phone at all. You're welcome.
Honestly, this phone is perfect for my dad. He has been using his iPhone 8 since he got it from my mom when she upgraded. He constantly complains about battery life and how its relatively slow, but he refuses to get the new style of iPhone. This is exactly what he needs. Glad I came upon this review.

Aside from the battery size, I honestly like that Apple is keeping an old form factor around for those who like it. A close friend of mine doesn't want the bigger full screen phones and many people do not notice or need HFR. The one camera is limiting, but it's at least a good camera vs the tack on "macro" cameras that other phones add. I wish better battery, but I also wish there were more small phones like this for those who want them

If you want a really good compact and SMALL phone with great spec, buy iphone 13 mini, even if it's costed more it's till 100 times better than this se I swear.
I’m here for you, iPhone SE! To be honest, I love the design. It’s sleek and slim with rounded edges that feel more premium in the hand to me than the blocky flagship phones. Just because a design has been around for a few years doesn’t mean it’s so inferior. It’s not worth hundreds to avoid a little bezel, and I like the straight screen edges without the cut out thing going on at the top. Touch ID is the best authenticator. I don’t want my iPhone to unlock every time I glance at the clock. On the main iPhones, the Face ID infrared light sensors flash you constantly even when you’re not unlocking your phone. Even though it’s widely understood that this is safe and private, it just seems creepy and unnecessary to have that low level radiation constantly. The camera is miles better than my current phone and all I would need.
It’s all in how you define “features!” And like anyone, I could binge watch 52 unboxing comparison videos from techies who can’t rest til they find the latest, greatest, fastest, most satisfying phone that fulfills dreams. And it would convince me I need the pro max with a bajillion ions of who really knows what. But truth is that at the end of the day, this is the iPhone most people would be perfectly happy with at half the cost!!
Thank you so much for that comment, Jane. Very well written and great thoughts. I agree with you 100%.
Unfortunately, people lost the ability to think for themselves, and let UA-camrs or companies brainwash them. I think the more people focus on phones and need the newest stuff just for “having” it, the more lonely they actually are and don’t have anything or anyONE more valuable than a phone, to use their money for
my sister had the old rounded iphone, i always liked the way it felt... so color me surprised when i found out about the SE

In my wildest dream, I hoped for the 2020 SE to be sold at $199 alongside the lineup. That could have been an ultimate upgrade for all the grand parents out there hanging around with 6, 6s, 7 or 8.

The speakers are very loud which is good. And I haven't killed it in a day yet. I got it $200 off with a promotion with Visible so that is nice. Price matters a lot since I'm not a power user, I just need to know it does the basics I want. I'm aiming to get 5 years out of it.
My 6S for the last couple of years was starting to struggle in apps and the battery efficiently had dropped about a third. I probably could have kept going with it for a couple more years but it was starting to be a nuisance.

@@bloxzlol2346I went with an 13 mini not too many months after that comment. I’m super happy with it, couldn’t imagine myself with anything larger
This phone is all about being able to experience iOS at the lowest cost.
I believe this is the only phone which is slim, compact and a fully reachable display.
The only iPhone with the traditional finger print sensor, (nostalgia from using it from the times back then)
Also if the price gets any lower, an average customer won't realise its value.
Maybe a phone for the millennials to have the things that we've always seen back then in an iPhone
so sad they removed touch id on most flagship iphones ...
iphone 13 or iphone 13 mini looks great
@@cautarepvp2079 absolutely 💯, iPhone 13 series defo looks awesome no doubt in it but when we look for some good things about the SE, thought of the FP sensor and the memories of using it.
I remember back then when FP sensors were introduced in the 5S, some critics said apple collects the finger print info of people. Now when we think of face unlock, it makes sense about why they left the finger print sensor.
Just sharing my thoughts, i appreciate you for your time and have an awesome day

"Maybe a phone for the millennials.."
and now the millennial is used as a word for old crowd. how years go by..
to me its the size, 4.7 inches. nobody makes small compact anymore except apple. that alone makes me want to buy it. i am the crowd that still thinks a phone should be small not 6.8 inches.
Rolling in January 2023 with an iPhone 6s. Yup. Longevity is what many people are after.
Still using a 6. About time for me to upgrade. I only use the iPhone for calls and texts anyway. Especially since I added an iPad, Apple TV 4k and HomePod minis. ( plus a used MacBook in grade A condition)
@@johnnyboy55 someone's got some money to play with 😄
Love this thing and I upgraded from the SE2020. I hope Apple keeps building the equivalent of this phone 4Eva. The form factor, the chip, and Touch ID, the price.
Agree - we can’t let the SE die out! Was so happy to see it’s return in 2020.
Hey everyone! I just wanted to share some good news with you all. Let's just put it this way, the Ten Commandments are called the Moral Law. Ask yourself this. How many lies have you told? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever used God's name in vein? Have you ever hated someone or ever looked with lust? This is for you to judge yourself, but chances are that you are a lying, thieving, blasphemous, fornicating, adulterer at heart and you HAVE to face God on judgement day. Now ask yourself this. If God judges you on judgement day by these Commandments, will you be innocent or guilty? Of course you'll be guilty because we've all done these things. The truth is that none of us are good people and we NESD God's grace to make it to heaven. We judt simply cannot do it on our own. These Commandments arecalled the Moral Law. You and I broke the law, Jesus payed the fine. So now what we must do to be saved is to repent of our sins and trust alone in Jesus Christ! To repent doesn't mean to just say I'm sorry, but to turn from our sins and let Him truly be our Lord continually. He said that many will say to Him, Lord, Lord I have done all of these things for you. And He will say I never knew you. Depart from Me, ye who work iniquity! And those will be cast into outer darkness and raging hellfire and loneliness for all of eternity!!! Because we broke His law, He is very, very just to send us to hell. If someone had murdered 4 people and said to the judge, I've done nice things too and have tried to treat people nice but it was just one time, the judge would then say, okay but you're going to jail. And the judge is very just to do that. One last thing, if you were 10,000 feet in the air and you had to jump, you wouldn't jump out and flap your arms and try to save yourself. That's ridiculous! You would put on the parachute. It is the same with Jesus. You must trust Him as you trust the parachute. We are not good and we cannot save ourselves with our own goodness. We must trust alone in Him to save us. In just a moment of time you can pass from death to life. Jesus said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again." That is how we enter heaven. Through the blood and grace of Jesus Christ!!!!✝️If you ask someone how to enter Heaven, they will most likely say, "Be a good person." Well the Bible says that none is good, no not one. We like to compare ourselves to guys like Hitler and say, "Hey, I'm a pretty good guy compared to him." But when we compare ourselves to God's standard, we realize that the Bible speaks truth when it says that we all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God!!! When we see this ( our sin in its TRUE light), we see how much trouble we are in and we say, "Well then there's nothing I can do. I'm going to hell for sure then." It's true that there is nothing that WE can do, but there is something that has already been done for you! God sent His One and Only Son to die on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins! So to recieve that eternal sweet sweet forgiveness, all we must do is repent of our sins (meaning to continually turn from them and confess them) and trust alone in Christ as you trust a parachute. If I was to push you out of an airplane, you'd want the parachute for sure! Don't try to flap your arms and save yourself, trust in the parachute! His finished work on the Cross IS ENOUGH!! He is the only way to Heaven, He said it Himself!! These other religions teach that we must he good and do good things and then maybe if we've been good enough, we will enter Heaven. But if that is true then we are all doomed to eternal hell because none of us are good. That's why this makes sense. Look at the Ten Commandments, they are written on your heart right now!! I promise that you have violated them. And you might still be doing that today. Therefore God is just to poor out His wrath on us because we deserve it!! But Christ died for us so that we can spend eternity in Heaven with Him! Turn to Him today, and He and only He will save your soul "Verily, verily I say unto you, you must be born again ( to go to Heaven)."✝️The true joy of Christ dwells in me!!! Does it in you? I know where I'm going when I die! Do you? I have an ETERNAL victory! Do you? I have more joy than ever because of what Christ has done. I have been down both roads. The road of the wicked and the road of Christ. Christ is way better and my cup runneth over with true joy and salvation. If you do not know the One true God and are not sure of your salvation, I promise He will never fail you. Turn to Him in repentance and faith. Repent means to confess and forsake your sins, never turning back to them. I tried changing on my own but I couldn't. It took the power of Christ on the inside of me to do it for me. He will give you a new and clean heart with new and clean desires and you shall be born again. A new creation in Christ Jesus!! Hallelujah!!! Jesus said in order to enter the Kingdom of God, you must be born again! Thank you Lord Jesus!✝️
I had the se 2020. I don’t any longer but not because I didn’t like it. I really think it does everything most people need-except for maybe having a longer lasting battery. I think it takes great pics and video, all that most people need, and you can learn to live with the smaller screen. The resolution differences to me are barely noticeable. I also prefer the more rounded sleek design (not larger bezel) compared with the more squared off 12 and 13. The best small phone is still the mini but the differences may not matter to many people.
I do miss the battery on the 13 (mini)
I’m getting this for my grandma and she has used an iPad for years but never had a smart phone so I’m so glad the form factor and screen with that chin has stayed because it’s familiar to people like her and she doesn’t need to learn gestures so I’m very grateful for that. It’s not appealing to the tech people because we all want the best for the best price but I still love a cheap simple phone and still has a place imo.
Ikr it took me several monthes to teach my grandmother how to use her iPhone XR, it was torture how many times I had to show her how to exit applications and take screenshots like wtf.
I like this formula ( basically the body of this iPhone ) it’s just perfect
The SE is perfectly fit for my grandmother! It's def built to last, and fits in the palm nicely. Thankfully I got her the SE2 which has been quite a good choice now that I've seen the minor differences of the SE3
Yup it's a grandmother phone ...that's about it !
Then again, a bigger screen would help her eyes
Damn, your grandma sure has good eyes
Why does your grandmother need the strongest chip on the market right now? Is she a hardcore gamer?
@@icyfoxe yes
Never underestimate the power of Home Button. Liked it. Kudos to you. The way you have presented iPhone SE - 2022, no one can do better than you. Absolutely Genius - You are!
Best wishes!
Great review! I still use, and love, my iPhone SE 2020. It’s definitely a Simple Edition, and that’s pretty awesome considering what you get for your money.
The iPhone se is alright but I wish they made an iPhone se plus like the 7 plus and the 8 plus .now that I would like to see and get iPhone se plus .
@@gerardomaltos2596 I can understand that. However, with “bend gate,” I could not get with the 7 Plus. Plus, felt way too much for my one-hand iPhone usage. But, I totally get that. Screen real estate on a smartphone means a LOT to me. I will say, I wish the iPhone SE had a higher screen refresh rate than just 60hz, but oh well.
@@CartoonDaily1 🤧🤧🤧let’s just pry for an iPhone SE plus .
I love my I Phone SE! I get so many compliments from my clients about how good the pictures of their pets look. I also love how lighting fast it is.
SE by itself has become a product/lineup of its own. Which means you don’t have to do what the other models are doing, you just have to improve it’s own performance. Which lacks a lot in the battery department specially if you consider which consumer is using this phone, and we iphone se user would gladly have a bigger and better battery. significantly bigger, to the point you might have to change the body, bulkier chonkiermight even square up a bit but keep the praised home button and small size. Higer refresh rate would improve a lot the user experience no doubt, but a 90 low bright no high res is just the right cost benefit imho
I LOVE how critical you are on this review in terms of the little things Apple could have done to improve this without breaking the bank.
Simply, you are the go-to-man for an honest review. I bought this model because I'm 70 years old and don't really need too much more. Thanks for the review.
he really is the best reviewer :)
7:36 World class is the chip, the camera, the haptics and the build quality. You forgot to mention that. Build Quality is excellent.
If this had an OLED screen and a robust battery, it would be the perfect combination of the new and old formula. But then again, the increase of price will always be the concern here.
see samsung galaxy s8
Battery is great tho, I’m biased as my old one needed a battery pack to get through the day. Now I have been using it since 9am and I’m at 47%
I’m still happy with my 2020 SE. It was my first iPhone after 8 years of android and outside of battery life I have no complaints
I’ll see what the 14 looks like and if I want to upgrade to the more modern form factor
@@AureLangvinis, either that or it will be an iPhone SE+.
Putting the SE+ in a XR case would make sense, because of the bigger display, camera and the SE+ could also have 4x4 MIMO instead of 2x2 MIMO, so faster 5G.
@@AureLangvinis You can get an iPhone 12 for around $450
I have the iPhone 12 and I’m over it. I’m seriously thinking of getting the SE 3. I don’t do social media any longer, no need for two+ cameras, I’m a way more low key person now. Plus, he’s right. That home button. I do miss it. Plus, I’d be comfortable at 128 gb. I would only need it to call, text, send some photos and use gps. I’m a basic user these days.
just for banking, messaging, camera. i'm no longer obsessed with phones. the se is great
I have an iPhone SE, and I appreciate you making this video. I still think it is very good, but it heats up easily when charging. I also love the home button. TouchID is at times easier to use than FaceID, like in the dark.
Clear and honest review! Bought the new SE for my dad to replace his 7.
You must really hate your dad
I think this is a winning formula. new internals in old body. You are able to upgrade what matters to most people while keeping costs down instead of half-ass'ing all the features with budget bin parts. Being deliberate about what you are upgrading to make sure those features are done correctly is more honest than trying to do everything at a lower price.
New internal in new body ?? Any 400 ish Android will do
The screen though... that's horrendous for 2022. If this phone had Face ID and a full screen 1080p display but everything else the same this could be an absolute beast in the midrange market. Doesn't have to be OLED, just a 5.4 inch ish LCD with smallish bezels would make all the difference. Maybe a slightly bigger battery but that's kinda pushing it.
@@_ajf yea that basically day and night difference
@@AbbasDalal1000 maybe, but no 400ish Android will last four + years
@@AbbasDalal1000 yeah, but nearly all those phones feel really cheap and plasticy. Or are the size of a tv, remember a lot of people, me included, just want a phone that is not to big, fast and not to expensive. something doesnt need to have 5 camera's to be a good phone.
I bought this phone a month ago, I legit have not used my 14 pro since. It’s so compact and comfortable.
Just picked up the iPhone SE (2022) @ Boost mobile for my 80 y/o mother and it is GREAT for $93! Out the DOOR, $50 monthly unlimited plan! Gotta have the home button! Other phones for seniors were CRAP, some with 2mp cameras. This one is the BOMB!
Love what you do marques. I've been watching you since I was 15 and I have learned so much that I can apply to my daily activities now that you also have the studio channel. Keep it up!😁
I'm still happy with my iPhone 7. For now, the only bad thing is the battery. But still, i don't feel behind.
THIS phone I really vibe with. It's modest, smooth aesthetics, yet incredibly powerful processing. I would love to accesorize with this.
I love the home button and touch ID. It's just what I prefer.
I’ve been waiting for someone to mention the importance of the regular, old home button. It really is a saving grace to my grandparents, as they have become so used to it, that they would be completely lost without one. Not to mention that it scans their finger as they press it, so they don’t have to bother adjusting their face if the angle is slightly off.
The angle slightly off? Have you used face ID?
@@fijiwill2237 it’s a legit point
i love the SE. I've been on the XR and i'm going straight back to the SE. For someone who has a great DSLR and someone who already has enough distractions in life - the overpowered iphone SE is perfect. The fact the screen doesn't cover the entire phone is more superficial for me. It's small... it does the job. Most the time i'm using my phone is with headphones anyway (i.e not looking at it). If I were browsing or gaming for hours each day on my phone - sure I'd get a really nice larger one. Many of us are not in that camp. I'm more a laptop guy.
I really hope Apple doesn't stop making small budget phones. Even if I was a millionaire I still think I'd get the iPhone SE. Perfect size.
try the mini instead, it is great
No matter how much money I have or will have, I love small phones. Fits into my front pockets easy. And it isn't hard on my fingers. I'm getting old and carpal tunnel is kicking in. So my last phone the Motorola Edge was massive. Insane camera. But I lost it. And now, I will never buy a phone over 400. Ever. So this phone is in my budget. Plus 5G and new chip will last me for next 8 years. Hopefully. If I don't lose it in 4....
The iphone 12 mini is around the same price and it’s much better than this. Plus the battery life on the SE is just awful.
@@beanfactory_youtube ok i'll consider an older mini...
It still seems about 40% more money than the new SE
The home button 👍👍👍
I have the 8 and gonna get this one.. Love how simple it is and that its gonna last a lot bc theres no way Im gonna spend so much money on a new phone every yr. Im giving the 8 to my little niece bc it still works good☺️
Using the iphone se 2023, i have had a iphone 12 pro max before, and i will say that this phone has been amazing for the money and has definitely made me rethink spending money like i have before on a iphone
I’ve sold a loooooot of iPhone SE phones at apple. What I’ve seen with the SE and what I recommend to certain class of customers is this is all they literally need. Additionally people who get this SE still want the home button and don’t want anything else. I think Apple keeping this phone very similar to the 8 in design but adding amazing internal components so someone who only neeeds this simplistic phone can have it long term. As well as the battery life can be frustrating in some sense but this phone is a great phone for the younger kids and teenagers getting there first iPhone with cheap apple care will last them years without parents having to over spend on a phone for their child. So I’m very happy they keep this phone because it’s so simple and very original for the people who only need this and nothing more.
at least they need to replace ips lcd with oled screen
Thank you!
@@hilmyalmagthani2654 Bullshit. Not everyone likes OLED, especially when they're sensitive to PWM which still is a thing that no one talks about despite the fact that 10% of people have problems with it.
@@Raja995mh33 WORD
Lol just buy an old iphone for kids😂
It's actually cool the apple did this, they're literally giving the experience of a flagship chip in a budget phone, I used to sometimes think how cool my old Samsung s6 would be with the latest chipset
If they update the battery and screen to amoled it can be tolerad
@@KarrasBastomi true. The Samsung s6 already has one of the best Samoled screens and I love everything about it.
how is that budget lmao
That's what companies like Xiaomi and realme do , giving you a budget phone ( about 450$ or a little more) that has a flagship chip but also a much better display + faster charger + bigger battery .
@@samzak8986 but if were talking performance apple is clearly supperior but yeah still lackin compare to some amdroid budget phone
I've had the 2016 iPhone SE for a couple of years now and it is the perfect pocket sized phone. The way I prolong the battery life is to only turn on Mobile data when I need it. I don't play games on it and the camera is good enough for most of the snaps I need to take and the video is amazing. Having said that I will start looking at the second hand market for the new SE later in the year.
Jesus, having to turn off your mobile data sounds like absolute torture
@@DenonBoyofthe21stCentury xd
OG SE has a huge fanbase. I’ve been using mine since 2017, it’s been 5 years and I still get updates with iOS 15 and do everything I need to do with it. OG SE is probably the most supported phone in history.
I’ll switch to an iPhone 13 mini or 14 mini (if they make one) next year. Will be set till at least 2029-2030. The longevity we get on iPhones without any drop in performance is just remarkable.
@@anilgoutham1334 Yeah it’s an option. I replaced my OG SE for an iPhone 12 mini, but it’s still too big for meeee.
What about an SE Plus using the iPhone 8 Plus chassis? Bigger display. Bigger battery. Dual camera. Same Home Button we know and love.
I was skeptical about getting this phone, after watching this review I feel confident in my choice of buying. Thanks!
In my case I've had a 6s for years now, so I've grown accustomed to a short battery life, plus I'd be getting a longer battery life. So this seems like the perfect budget upgrade for me. Thanks for the review!
For 400, I would look elsewhere as other phones at the same price range offer better screen, batteries, and features. The only thing that you most likely won't find elsewhere at the same price is the processor but I highly doubt you will use its full potential considering you come from an iPhone 6s.

@@nicolaswinter8578 photos and videos clearly aren't important if he stuck with iPhone 6 for so long. If you want to use iOS, i think 2020 se is just as good as this phone.

@@baladinthebald8992 honestly photography is pretty huge for me, just didn't really have the money nor the motivation to upgrade.
I upgraded from iphone 6 to a 8 in '19, almost 3 years with the 8 now because I still want the Home Button. Glad to see an Iphone SE '22 release. Might finally upgrade to something like this. Although I will admit, the classic square body design that the 12/13 have now from the Iphone 5 days is a much sexier look than the previous regime.
Same position as me
I have an 8 I’ve had for 3 years now too, looking into getting an SE gen 3 as well, it just seems too good to pass up
i just got this phone, upgraded from the 1st SE and i love it. i dont want 8 cameras or face recognition and i love the home button. i want a simple, fast and reliable iphone and thats what it is. the battery life could be better but other than that i've got no complaints and i think it looks great, not old or outdated. "if it aint broke, don't fix it". i am very annoyed by the obnoxious and unnecessary changes they made to the wallpaper settings though in ios16. 🙂
