Spec appeal: iPhone SE 3 vs iPhone SE 2 vs iPhone 8

Two years after the release of the second-generation iPhone SE, Apple has launched its third generation of affordable iPhones. The iPhone SE "2022" (Apple is still calling it SE without the additional badge) is visually identical to the previous model and the iPhone 8. All the new stuff is lurking inside the smartphone, and is concentrated in three key points: CPU, network support, and camera.

The lack of visual distinction between the second- and third-generation iPhone SE makes it harder for less-savvy users to decide whether it's worth upgrading to the latest model. This article will help you find out all the differences between iPhone SE 2022, 2020, and iPhone 8.

If you own a second-generation iPhone SE, upgrading to the latest model may not sound like a good decision. There simply aren't that many benefits to justify the upgrade (not to mention the iPhone SE is now $30 more expensive). The 2020 model is still good enough to handle day-to-day tasks and even some heavy gaming (minus the battery life, of course).

Apple itself has not compared the latest iPhone SE to the previous generation. Instead, the company is positioning the iPhone SE 2022 as a replacement for the now five-year-old iPhone 8.

Some users may think that 5G is a good reason to switch from second-generation SE to third-generation. While this is true, you need to note that the iPhone SE 2022 only supports sub-6 GHz networks, which typically run at the same speeds as 4G. Millimeter wave is only present in the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 series.

On the battery front, iPhone SE 2022 should offer users slightly longer standby time thanks to the more efficient A15 CPU. Additionally, Apple says the smartphone features new "battery chemistry." You shouldn't get your hopes too high though (capacity will most likely remain unchanged). Battery life will remain the weakest link of the iPhone SE.
