Things for iphone se3/26/2023 ![]() ![]() But it's probably not the hardcore people who buy the iPhone SE. The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro have really ended the issues of iPhones not lasting a full day of intensive use, but I've needed to top up towards the end of the day, and I think that'll be common among the more hardcore users. ![]() And that was reflected in my own experience. When it comes to battery, the iPhone SE (2022) lasts better than its predecessor thanks to improvements in the A15 chip, in iOS and battery tech… but it’s still a small phone with a small battery, and it shows.įrom Apple’s own figures, you get 30% to 50% more life from the iPhone 13 compared to the iPhone SE (depending on type of use). So while the iPhone SE trailed slightly behind its fancier version on the peak internet speeds, I’m not sure that anyone should be disappointed with nearly 700Mbps. Switching to my iPhone 13 Pro with the exact same SIM card in the exact same location, I got 898Mbps download and 82Mbps upload. I got 670Mbps download speed, and 76 Mbps upload speed on the iPhone SE. I tested 5G support on the UK’s Three network, and my speed test was in Bath city centre, from inside the large T3 office building – a fairly typical kind of use. There will surely be more of this in the future, and the new iPhone SE will be able to handle it. The A15’s six-core chip can not only handle anything you could want it to do now, but also anything Apple will ask it to do with software updates in the next few years.Īlready Apple is pushing smart features with things like Live Text, where the iPhone can detect words in anything you point the camera at, or any images you view on the phone, whether photos or pics from the web. Which is also true of Apple’s other recent chips, but the great peace of mind you get here is the future-proofing. In general use, I couldn't make the processor even come close to stumbling. It feels somehow amusing to have such power in a device with a screen this small – the screen is a more narrow window than almost any other phone, yet you’ve got the power here to create advanced 4K video edits. ![]() The Apple A15 chip that powers the iPhone SE is – just as it was in the iPhone 13 – a pocket rocket. (Image credit: Future) iPhone SE (2022) review: It’s not hard for a cheap Bluetooth speaker to beat them, but they’ll do the job, no question. When it comes to speakers, you get an okay package – they sound clear enough for a bit of music or podcasts around the house. ![]() It was truly bizarre that the last model lacked this, and it’s great that Apple has corrected it here. This means you can hard press on notifications on the Lock Screen to see more useful features. There is a quiet – and important – improvement to the screen in this version compared to the last model: support for Haptic Touch. It also supports Apple’s True Tone tech, which is great for being easy on the eyes in the evenings. The 625 nits of brightness mean it's clear in daylight, while the P3 wide colour support makes it vibrant and accurate. The 1334x750 resolution is 326 pixels per inch, which makes it sharp and detailed. Outside of the size, it’s a pretty good screen. For those coming from the original iPhone SE, or even those who’ve held onto an iPhone 5S, 6, 7 or similar, it will be perfectly natural. I’d hit the Return button instead of the space bar, and a lot of words that autocorrect couldn’t help with ended up as nonsense.īut that’s because I’m used to a bigger screen. The keyboard is the main culprit – the Home screen and most other standard uses are fine in terms of being perfectly tappable, but the keyboard kept tripping me up. (Though I have been reviewing iPhones long enough to remember when the four-inch screen on the iPhone 5 was considered a comically large travesty…)Īs someone who’s used to the 6.1-inch screen of the iPhone 13, there’s no question that it feels small at times to use. The 4.7-inch screen on the iPhone SE (2022) is, by the standards of basically any other phone being released today, itsy-bitsy. iPhone SE (2022) review: screen & speakers Held over from the old model, you've got a good-quality 4.7-inch screen, front and rear cameras with 4K video support, Touch ID fingerprint security, wireless charging, and premium-feeling glass and aluminium design. We'll touch on all of those as we go through this review, but these give you a strong indicator of what to expect from this new version: refinement rather than revolution.Īs usual, the point of the latest iPhone SE is to bring the full iPhone experience at a lower price – it doesn't have as many hardware features as the more expensive models, but you get the full capabilities of iOS. The new iPhone SE has been updated from the previous version in five key ways: the Apple A15 processor, 5G support, haptic touch on the screen, stronger glass, and improved battery life.
