Apple launches third-generation iPhone SE with A15 CPU and eight-year-old design

During the "Peek Performance" event, Apple officially released the third-generation budget iPhone. The latest iPhone SE retains the same eight-year-old design from the iPhone 6 era, with all changes focused on the internals.

The main upgrade to the third-generation iPhone SE is the A15 CPU that replaced the A13 in the 2020 model. Still, Apple isn't comparing it to previous models. Instead, the company says the latest iPhone SE is 1.8 times faster than the iPhone 8 with the A11 CPU. You can expect less impressive performance gains compared to the A13 or A14 chips.

In addition to boosting the performance of the most affordable iPhones, the A15 CPU also supports 5G.

The iPhone SE 2022 also gets an “all-new camera system” with the same 12-megapixel sensor and f/1.8 aperture. It supports Smart HDR 4, Photography Styles, Deep Fusion, and Portrait modes. Like the 2020 model, the iPhone SE 2022 offers a single-lens camera system. More expensive models offer wide-angle and telephoto cameras.

With the exception of a new CPU and updated cameras, the iPhone SE 2022 is consistent with the budget iPhones Apple launched in 2020. The screen still has a slightly smaller 4.7-inch diagonal and a resolution of 1334x750. The only difference is that it's now covered with ceramic shielding glass, which is more resistant to cracking.

Apple says the latest iPhone SE has longer battery life thanks to a more efficient CPU and “latest-generation battery chemistry.” You probably shouldn't expect this phone to be the new battery champ, though.

iPhone SE 2022 will be available for pre-order on March 11, 2022 in 30 countries. Sales start March 18, 2022. Customers can choose from three colors (Starlight, Black and Product Red) and storage options include 64 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB. Prices start at $429.
