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

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

Apple iPhone SE 2022 (128GB, Red) AU - Excellent review

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...
Pros:
  • Breathtakingly fast performance, Cutting-edge processor, Strong battery life, Good for small hands, Great value
Cons:
  • Old-fashioned design, No MagSafe, Only one camera

Apple iPhone SE (2022) review: Great value in a very good iPhone

The iPhone SE — despite the ‘dated’ design and ‘high’ price’ offers great value. No, it doesn’t have the flashy display and fancy camera specs that a lot of Android phones offer in this price range and less.

great service, nice price

It feels like Apple's phones have fallen behind in some ways. The battery doesn't last longer than Huawei's.

Apple iPhone SE 2022 (128GB, Red) AU - Excellent review

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.
Pros:
  • compact and high-quality, 5G capable, world phone, very powerful, IP certified
Cons:
  • only a 60-Hz display, low screen resolution, aged design, inflexible single-lens camera

Apple iPhone SE 2022 (128GB, Red) AU - Excellent review

Is Apple's smallest, cheapest iPhone still a tempting option in 2023? Let's find out.
Cons:
  • The phone needs to be a multimedia device: With its small screen, the iPhone SE 2022 isn’t a good choice if you want a phone for gaming, video watching or any other content-focussed task.

Apple iPhone SE 2022 (128GB, Red) AU - Excellent review

The iPhone SE (2022) continues Apple's run of delivering cutting-edge innards for a cut-price iPhone. The camera is alarmingly good in most circumstances, and the A15 chip will make sure this phone gets updates for years to come.
Pros:
  • Very fast processor, 5G connectivity, Tough, premium glass design, Very strong camera
Cons:
  • Single rear camera & no Night mode, Older design still clinging on, Unimpressive battery life

Apple's New iPhone SE Could Have Been Great

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