If you can afford to stretch your budget to the Apple iPhone 13 mini, we'd recommend it over the iPhone SE (3rd generation) any day of the week, but as an entry-level iPhone, the third generation SE is a solid performer and a great upgrade option - you just have to be able to look past that ageing design.

Affordable with flagship power; Excellent performance; Solid camera results; Good battery life; Touch ID is still great tech; Punchy display; 5G capabilities; Some photography iPhone 13 features; Excellent software experience;

Old design; Poor low light camera performance; Single camera; No display changes; No MagSafe;

The familiar design of the iPhone SE will be classic to some, old-fashioned to others. But under the bonnet, a lot is new, from a super-fast processor...

Breathtakingly fast performance, Cutting-edge processor, Strong battery life, Good for small hands, Great value

Old-fashioned design, No MagSafe, Only one camera

Impressive performance and camera quality but battery life and a sluggish 60Hz display mar the iPhone SE 2022’s appeal

Neat and pocketable, 5G and superb performance, Camera is great

Small screen, big bezels, Poor battery life

The iPhone SE is one of the best bargains in modern smartphones. It is not the flashiest or most feature-rich but it offers more bang for buck for longer than any other. It has an almost vintage design, lacks the MagSafe charging and accessory system, Face ID and other niceties of Apple’s more...

Pros: lowest-cost new iPhone, about seven years of software support, A15 chip, 5G, wireless charging, decent single-lens camera, top performance, easy to handle, water resistance, Touch ID, amazing value.

Cons: battery life could be better, no headphone socket, no zoom camera, no Face ID, dated design, very slow charging, no MagSafe.

good phone, looks sooooooo good. honestly phones nowadays are good no matter what you buy. this is a fashion accessory.

Friendly staff great service

I purchased an IPhone 13 pro max online and the process was super fast and easy to navigate website, loved that they offer Laybuy and they also had the colour that I wanted for my IPhone. Click and collect was only an overnight wait and the Instore customer service was amazing, super quick and professional, would 100% recommend to friends and family and I am definitely going to shop with PB Tech again. Thank you

Great price , great product and super fast delivery service. Thanks for an awesome experience PBTech.

Apple’s affordable third-generation iPhone SE packs a serious A15 Bionic performance punch into its small and familiar frame—but a less-than-best display, single satisfactory camera, and a few dated design choices downgrade this iPhone from a “must-grab” to a horsepower bump for a select group.

A15 Bionic chip, Affordability, Portability, Color options

Display, Home button, Glass back, no ceramic shield

Small but wow! The iPhone SE gets more expensive in 2022 but still continues to be the most affordable Apple smartphone. Thanks to its very current A15 chip, it should be hard to beat in its price class in terms of performance.

compact and high-quality, 5G capable, world phone, very powerful, IP certified

only a 60-Hz display, low screen resolution, aged design, inflexible single-lens camera
