Apple formalizes the new iPhone SE and its technical sheet

With a design similar to the previous model, the third generation iPhone SE is finally out. The device is positioned as an excellent choice for anyone who wants to access the iOS experience at a lower cost or who is looking for a compact and lightweight format. In fact, the screen size is limited to4.7 inchesdiagonally as announced during this evening's keynote.

Another major feature: the mobile is now compatible with network antennas5Gand should therefore in theory offer faster connection speeds, although professionals may prefer ita more high-end model. Note also that the home button has been retained; it is used for biometric unlocking with Touch ID (no facial recognition).

Performances

Unsurprisingly, the iPhone SE 3 has the same processor as the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro: theA15 Bionic chip. This allows you to run most apps without slowing down, including the most demanding ones, especially when you know that 4 GB of RAM is probably associated with it – check. The Neural Engine, which couples all this beauty with a hint of artificial intelligence, is also there, and should improve the shots captured with the 12 megapixel rear lens or 7 on the front.

However, no benchmark has yet been published by third-party users to date; you will therefore have to wait a little longer to compare the speed of this laptop withthat of his predecessor. However, we know that the graphics card is more than twice as fast as the iPhone 8, as specified by the manufacturer.

Colors, prices and pre-order

Apple offers its iPhone SE 2022 inthree shadesdifferent: “Starlight”, “Midnight” and red. The latter donates part of its profits to charitable organizations based on current societal issues.

As for storage, it is limited to64 Go, 128 Go ou 256 Go. Without an SD card port, it's not much, but the iCloud packages are there to take over and the Cupertino target for this smartphone is in any case not the one that consumes the most internal memory.

And for the price?Less than 500 euros for the most affordable version. See you from March 18 to receive it at home, with pre-orders from Friday!
