One particularly sad new feature on the iPhone SE that I couldn’t really test was its 5G capabilities. It did take me a while to relearn some gestures though, as the notchless display means the iPhone SE uses Apple’s older gesture system for pulling out the control centre for instance, while I could no longer just swipe up to return to home either. With no Face ID, the fingerprint sensor built into the Home button was the only biometric security measure available for me to use and is actually pretty good to use as it’s quick and responsive to touch. Incidentally, this is also the first Apple device I’ve used with Touch ID. Gaming performance is also solid like a rock, and I was able to play titles such as Magic the Gathering: Arena and Apex Legends Mobile just fine. It took on pretty much everything I threw at it like a champ, with my regular day-to-day apps such as social media stuff, Spotify, Waze, and more all working as well as I expected it to be. With such a powerful processor under the hood, honestly there’s little to no worry with performance at all. The specific one under the iPhone SE’s hood though is the version with 4 GPU cores, rather than the A15 Bionic with 5 GPU cores in the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max. It’s their most recent chip for their mobile devices and powers all of the iPhone 13 range. It’s a pint-sized performerĪrguably the iPhone SE’s biggest selling point here is that it comes with the Apple A15 Bionic processor under the hood. Instead, the iPhone SE is meant to be the cheapest way to get the latest silicon from Apple into your hands. But that was never really the intention of Cupertino’s iPhone SE devices anyway. So okay, fine, the iPhone SE is clearly not going to win any design awards or catch the attention of others at the table. It also doesn’t have Apple’s Ceramic Shield layer so the iPhone SE is a little more susceptible to scratches. Another thing worth pointing out is that the iPhone SE only has an IP67 water and dust resistance rating, while Apple’s other smartphones of this generation are IP68. Compared to the iPhone 13 Pro Max, the iPhone SE feels nearly like a toy with how light it is and how easy it fits in my pocket.Īnd yet, with that being said, if you were in the market specifically for a compact iPhone, it’s not even the smallest one available! The iPhone 13 Mini measures 131.5mm tall and 64.2mm wide, while weighing less too at 140g. Compact smartphones almost went extinct at one point, but the tiny iPhone SE is just 7.3mm thick, 138.4mm tall, 67.3mm wide and weighs just 144g, almost half of what the iPhone 13 Pro Max weighs. The iPhone 8 though was smack in the middle of the curved sides era of iPhone design philosophy and just doesn’t look like it belongs with the rest of the latest smartphones in my eyes.įor what its worth, one thing I did like about the overall design was how compact it was.

I liked the flat edges and industrial look of the iPhone 5, and when Apple brought it back with the iPhone 12 lineup, I again was a fan of its looks. It also doesn’t help that I personally was not a fan of the iPhone design during this period. Safe to say then that sleek looks certainly isn’t the priority when it comes to this year’s iPhone SE. In 2017, I wasn’t even out of university that’s how long ago this design originated from. To be clear, the iPhone 8 came out in 2017. As a quick primer, the new iPhone SE 2022 basically reuses the same design and body that the last generation iPhone SE 2 used, which in turn reused the same design and body that the iPhone 8 debuted with.

While it’s technically the latest smartphone Apple has to offer, it certainly doesn’t look like it. And so begins my time with Apple’s newest entrant to their smartphone family: the iPhone SE (2022). Instead, Rory thought I was getting ahead myself after so many fancy new devices, and wanted to bring me back down to earth. This article though isn’t about Apple’s flagship smartphone-you can read about my time with it here.

I made the switch-no, the leap-to an Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max late last year, after years of budget and value-focused Android smartphones.
