Apple iPhone SE (2022)

5G now on SE

The 2022 iPhone SE will last for upwards of five years if it’s taken care of thanks to Apple’s excellent track record of offering iOS updates to older devices. But its tiny 4.7-inch screen feels cramped now and may be tough to use in five years’ time while apps and web pages continue to be designed for bigger screens.

At the heart of iPhone SE you’ll find the same super-powerful A15 Bionic chip that’s in iPhone 13. A15 Bionic enhances nearly everything you do. Apps load in a flash and feel so fluid. You get incredibly smooth graphics performance for gaming. A15 Bionic even powers advanced photography features that make each part of your photo — faces, places, everything — look fabulous.

• A chip that really zips.
• A leap in battery life.
• A fast 5G connection.
• A design that’s made to last.
• A superstar camera.
• A button you call Home.
• All in a pocket‑friendly 4.7″ design.
• Fast runs in the family.

Big-time battery life.

A highly efficient chip, an enhanced battery and iOS 15 work together to boost battery life. When you do need to charge, just place iPhone SE on a wireless charger. Or connect a 20W or higher adapter to fast charge from zero to up to 50 percent charge in 30 minutes flat.

Faster downloads, Faster streaming, Faster gaming.

From live-streaming to multiplayer gaming to video sharing, 5G really speeds things up. It even makes FaceTime in high definition and SharePlay feels smooth and seamless when you’re on the go. When you don’t need all that speed, iPhone SE shifts into Smart Data mode to preserve battery life.

Cool with spills.

iPhone SE shrugs off spills from common liquids such as water, soda, coffee, tea, and juice. And it’s certainly not bothered by a little dust, either.

A camera you’ll instantly click with. Smart stuff happens between snap and shot.

The A15 Bionic chip does all kinds of computations behind the scenes to make your photos look great. Smart HDR 4 automatically refines the contrast, lighting, and skin tones for up to four people — so everyone looks their best.

And in mid to low light, Deep Fusion studies multiple exposures pixel by pixel to capture the subtlest details, textures, and patterns in your final shot.

Give your camera direction with Photographic Styles. Choose a look — such as Warm or Cool — and iPhone SE selectively applies the adjustments, keeping skies and skin tones natural. So your photos will automatically have the look you love.

Portrait mode draws attention to your subject by artfully blurring the background. Portrait Lighting lets you choose from six creative effects, like Stage Light or High-Key Light Mono, before or after you shoot.

The enhanced video on iPhone SE picks up an incredible amount of detail — including contours, shadows, and highlights — even when the sun goes down.

Built-in Privacy System

Touch ID is a fast, simple, and secure way to unlock your phone and sign in to apps. You can even use it with Apple Pay to do things like shop online or grab groceries at the store — all without reaching for your card.

iPhone helps put you in control of your personal information. For example, when you’re browsing, Safari intelligently helps block trackers from profiling you and shows you which ones have been blocked in your Privacy Report. And the list goes on.
