I switched from my iPhone 13 to the iPhone SE 2022 as my main phone and today I’m going to share my experience. But first, why? Good question. These days more than ever, flagship phones are becoming more expensive and more affordable phones are getting better. If you’re currently using an iPhone X, 11 or 12 and are thinking of upgrading, do you still need to spend $800 on the iPhone 13 or is the new $429 iPhone SE the better value option? The biggest difference between the iPhone 13 and iPhone SE, aside from price, is the design. The iPhone 13 features Apple’s newer more sharp design, with thin bezels surrounding it’s stunning 6.1” OLED display. It also has Face ID and a dual camera system, one of the best camera systems on any phone, just behind the iPhone 13 Pro. I consider myself a power use and use my phone for many hours each day and the design of the iPhone 13 is well suited for these tasks. On the other hand, from a design perspective the iPhone SE is almost identical to the iPhone 8 from 2017. This recycled design helps keep cost down. The small light weight design is comfortable in hand and seamlessly fits in my pocket. But with a small design comes a small display and this is where the biggest comprise with the iPhone SE comes in. When it comes to content consumption, the iPhone SE display really is small and I found it hard to go back to after being used to the larger display on the iPhone 13. Will the display be too small for you? That depends on how you use your phone, the display really is a key component and I suggest you think about this carefully. The display on the iPhone 13 compared to the iPhone SE is much nicer to use, not only are text/images bigger, you can also see more at a time. The iPhone SE has the same A15 bionic chip as from the iPhone 13. This means the iPhone SE will perform just as well as the iPhone 13 not only today but also for the next 3,4 5+ years to come. No other phone at it’s price even comes close to this level of performance and longevity. This bring me to the cameras. I was impressed by how well the camera on the iPhone SE stacks up to even the iPhone 13. The iPhone SE may have just one lens but it is still one of the best smartphone cameras out there, especially at it’s price. At the end of the day, will I permanently switch from the iPhone 13 to the iPhone SE? No. For me the sacrifices in display and battery are just not worth it. However this be different for you. I have friends who, after years of always buying flagship phones, went for a more affordable alternative like the SE and never looked back - after all the iPhone SE is a phone that does the essentials and does them well. It all comes down to how you use your phone. If you use your phone for a smaller set of tasks, less for creating and consuming content and more for communication and some light productivity, the iPhone SE may be a solid option and opportunity to save some cash!

iPhone SE is the true Steve jobs phone because it's about quality over quantity which boils down to efficiency, productivity and overall profit. What iPhone SE lacks it more than makes up for in the longest battery life but it doesn't sacrifice the premium apple quality.

The points of having the SE are touch ID and the smaller size. The smaller display is not a compromise. People hated the removal of touch ID on modern iphones and its gigantic size.

Just imagine iPhone SE with amoled ! That would be pure perfection. I love home button and nostalgic design of SE.

[@alexandrosel1131]

@agiflow they prefer what the advertising tells them and above all they prefer what is more impressive in the first glance. But LCD is more relaxed in the eyes, especial in low light, and their colors is true to life and no oversaturated as amoled. As a photographer i stay away from amoled.

[@ld3534]

Same. But I choose the SE. Ordered one yesterday 🙂 I wasn't sure about the swipe gestures and not having a fingerprint reader. Coming from Android it will be my first ever iPhone 😃

[@TheGelatinousSnake]

@@Victoria-sm1sj coming from android the swipe gestures pretty much taken from Androids that got rid of their home buttons ages ago. But price alone makes SE an excellent choice. I got stuck with mini because the SE wasn’t available yet. Loving the mini, coming straight from Galaxy S9 that also got rid of front buttons

[@5150crazyfun]

The SE 2022 now I'd say is at it's best value wise. Yes you get a small more outdated screen and a smaller battery. But if you can get over that, you get more pros than cons. Especially if you find a good deal on it. What sticks out to me on the SE 2022 is the premium build quality, 5g, excellent speakers, long term software updates, wireless charging and all the Apple features. In some cases you can find them for $100 or slightly more. At those prices it's pretty much an unbeatable deal. Sure there are better iPhones but you'll pay a lot more so it ultimately depends on if you can live with the few trade offs for the price.

[@DionMedia]

Thanks for sharing you POV. Happy Holidays

[@CMC007]

I love my iPhone SE I plan to keep it forever. Traded it for thee 13 mini. Nothing beats using touch id.

[@jayh40515]

I love my Se 2022, got it for $150. More than big enough for watching a KZbin video on the go or checking email. I only use maps in the car, then I am using my 7 inch car screen to see the maps using carplay. I don't game or watch 3 hour movies on my phone, nor am I trying to be a tech "influencer".

Hi Prem, thanks for the feedback (and the subscription of course). Most of my videos I shoot with the Panasonic GH4

[@thepopculturebuff5080]

I want to switch to the SE because I want to start using my iPad more and more in terms of Media Watching. I also really miss the bessels on those type of phones and the rounded edges. I think the square edges are good on the 12/13 but I want something a bit more comfortable.

My first iPhone was the iPhone 6s Plus I hade it for almost 6 years and just switched to the iPhone SE 2020 a few months ago and I love it I actually prefer the smaller size phone it fits in my hands better but I do miss the bigger screen since I watch a lot of videos for me the battery is good compared to my old iPhone and I like it still having the home button and bezels for what I use the camera for and not using it much it’s so good and compared to my old iPhone it’s so much better overall I would recommend the iPhone SE it has just enough for me and works for me on a day to day basis

[@Kevynmorgan]

I got an SE 2 over the Xr. Great value for money with performance that blows away the Xr. Video editing and Photo editing is marvellous and the camera is just chefs kiss. I miss gestures and a full display, but it's something I'll gladly trade off.

[@NubePeluda]

Bought the 2022 SE, love the design, it never lags, no notch, the battery (for me) lasts all day, photos are good enough for me and touch ID is my fave unlocking system… I think many people hate on this phone for not being “the best” but it works so well and I could get 256gb much cheaper than a 128 gb 13 or 12 model :)

@@DionMedia indeed I am, missing 3D Touch from my iPhone 8 though. Other than that, love it!

[@hexistenz]

@@namesdom just switched from an 8 to a 13 mini as well. Got Product Red, jus5 because I’m in a non-subtle period now, I guess! I too miss the 3D Touch and Touch ID, and to me the 8’s design was the most beautiful of any phone I’ve ever had, period. Technically, however, this 13 mini beats anything, absolutely great everyday phone. Size, just perfect, not a big fan of 6” and above. Went for the 256 Gb, which is what makes it future-proof for the next 4-5 years (I hope 🤞), and why I didn’t even think of the SE.

[@namesdom]

@@hexistenz Yeah man idk how to feel about the 8’s design. It was a really really nice design, don’t get me wrong, but I’m really liking this new design as well. For me the 5 and 5s iPhones were my favorite design. Glad to hear that you’re enjoying your new phone!

Great video! Really informative and helpful. I haven’t really got a clue about these things. I hate IT, and would rather not have to get a phone like this. I think they control peoples lives and are extremely distracting. You may laugh, but I currently have a small Doro which suits me down to the ground. However, I sadly realise that I live in a world where I need one of these things, so it’s good to see someone who knows what they are talking about put up a video with some good honest advice. Am now considering getting the SE, cos it’s fairly easy to use like my Apple I Pad. Thanks a lot. Take care.

i am using an iphone 7 and for my needs it is pretty good. but lately I feel the need for a slightly larger screen. then i considered a refurbished 11 pro. it is around 450 euros.

[@godnosnotrue]

I follow the backpack model of the smallest lightest device which will do the job - I often use the keyboard on my watch! I’d love an SE and have owned previous models, as long as I have my iPad Air 3 at home. Sometimes the urge wanes - right now, my main phone is the 12 Pro, which I justified by never seeing the full price due to trade-ins. I am on both sides of the device size fence.

[@pressrepeat2000]

It’s sad that the SE is the only Apple phone with an LCD display. I really want an SE Plus. I can’t do OLED, gives me an almost immediate headache, especially as I use it a lot in low light. But the SE display is so small it’s very hard to use as your main device (as you explain here, our usage has changed since 2015), and battery is not great either. The camera is really excellent though, except at night.

[@watchreport]

Have you tried apples new phones with the Oled? I had this issue with headaches on the 11 pro and downgraded to an 11 but when the 12 came out I gave OLED another shot as I read apple did something to the display so it wouldn’t cause these issues. I’ve had the 12 and now the 13pro and it doesn’t bother me at all.

[@DionMedia]

Hi, yes it is correct that the SE has a small screen size, but much depends where you come from. If it is from the bigger 11 or 12, then this small screen might be difficult to adjust to, but if you come from the 7 it will be the same

[@SupernovaDragon77]

Google maps doesn’t look awful on the SE, WAZE on the other hand is very poorly optimized as it has as the UI for that app is really large. I would recommend going for the 13 mini tho it’s a much nicer phone

Biggest differences for me, are 1. battery and 2. screen size. Camera and display quality aren’t that noticeable. 12 mini battery is not great either as I’ve also had one of those but it was a step up from the 2020 SE. Aside from battery I was happy with 12 mini and only switched to iPhone 13 because of a combo discount for having Verizon wireless and Fios (switched from Att). Hopefully I don’t regret it but already disappointed with Verizon’s coverage compared to Att at least in my area. I also seem to be one of the few people who prefer the design of the Se-not the small screen size but the shape and form factor; it just feels better in hand then the more squared off new iPhones.

[@alexshotthese]

It's weird to say the SE's screen is a compromise when, again, that's the whole reason for the SE. It's using an older design to keep costs low and also...not EVERYONE wants a massive screen. It's not a compromise to me as it is conscientious choice. Love the size and form factor of the SE.

[@jaminallen3119]

Really solid video thanks. I love the iPhone 8 I used recently but found the new battery I put in it didn’t last close to long enough. So got a poco f3 which has great battery life. But I really want to go for the SE - I’d consider myself a power user listening to music and radio plays while working, emailing, using banking apps etc (not so much streaming) and using the maps. Would the SE be up to that? I don’t mind too much if it could last to 5pm on a charge but I had the SE 2020 and that seems to last about forty minutes!! Is this just a small improvement? Many thanks 🖖

Hi Jamin, thanks for your comments. Although the SE3 uses the same chip as the I13, unfortunately the battery has only slightly improved compared to its previous models.

[@DutchNostalgia]

Nice comparison (review) man, took me a minute to figure out your Dutch accent. 😂😂😂

[@DionMedia]

Thanks, well, what shall I say, I can hide my Dutchness. Neither do I want to :)

[@jkclassy3643]

“Save Some Cash” - Yeah that’s why I put my Gray Advent Titanium fade case on it.

[@DionMedia]

Wise decision :)

[@DSpencer23]

Great review!! Just subscribed to your channel bro 😎 👍

Now we are talking:). Thanks, highly appreciated

[@SecretlySeven]

I wanna know are there any other phones that have a silent switch like iPhone?

[@graeme66]

I have a se 3 and a 13 pro I find myself using the se more to the point of ditching my pro what I don’t like on the pro is the zoom poor comparison to Samsung

[@Raja995mh33]

People upgrading from the iPhone X, 11 or 12 are NOT the targeted group of the SE. Apple directly compares the SE to the iPhone 6S, 7 and 8 only - for a reason. Those people are the target demographic here.

[@DionMedia]

Hi Tim, these are definitely important part of the Apple target group.

Does iphone se 3 take good photos. I want a secondary phone just for photos nothing else. I'm already using android

[@EXTRAEDC]

Does anyone remember the iphone 3g with a 3.7“ screen 😹.. back in the day i thought .. this is huge… now i cant use it because of its size … but smaller phones back in the day wher better .. and today we van use them to get rid of our phone addiction .. at least a bit …

[@2004cyrus]

Yes I had one! And then a 4 and so on. I’m using an SE 2020 now. About to order an SE 2022 now: I can’t bring myself to spend over $1000.00 with taxes & accessories.

[@RMS887FM]

great choice! you choose the beast

[@malarkey102]

So how would the iPhone SE stack up if your a Bluetooth user when I go out for the day I'm always using Bluetooth earbuds. And I do a bit of social media. But not heavy. So for someone that loves music using Bluetooth to get me through the day. Would the SE be a good choice. Would the battery be good in that sense.

[@DionMedia]

Hi Mark, using music typically does not require much battery life, especially not when you are using wired head phones. Bluetooth will require a bit more, but it should not pose a problem especially if your screen time is low

[@alexandrosel1131]

I end up with iPhone se 2022 after try the 13 mini. I don't like the boxy design of mini as well the face-id which is not instantly and need every time to swap up after unlock to go to home screen (no options to disable those swipe..). The reason i stay to apple is those small phones. If i want a bigger display i move to android with better optimizing for them with multitasking and customization.

[@DionMedia]

Hi Alexandros, thanks for sharing your view

[@stormrider01]

Can you link your iPhone 13 screen protector you used in the video here please? It looks so good!

[@DionMedia]

Hi, thanks for your comment. The screen protector I use is from Lisen

[@stormrider01]

@@DionMedia Thank you very much

[@jayh5641]

I can't talk about switching from a iPhone to iPhone. But I can say is I just moved from a Google pixel 4XL to a iPhone SE. My first iPhone ever. The size of the SE 2022, is a game changer. Portability King 👑. The screen looks as good as my old pixel maybe because it's a small display. I use a phone as a phone, ie Call's, texts and music in the car. The SE lasts me all day all night, even with the occasional KZbin blitz over lunch. I'm happy with it and don't think I can justify going to a bigger phone for my personal needs. Great review 👍🏼

Same. I ordered one yesterday ☺️ My first ever iPhone. Will be a learning experience 😃

[@shanepatrick641]

@@Victoria-sm1sj how is it?? I have the se 2 at the moment. I tend to keep my phone.

[@kaitlyn.elizbeth291]

I switched from an 11 to the SE and I can agree the screen is the biggest compromise. However, I did get it for $99 and it’s light years faster than my 11 so I’m happy with it.

[@DionMedia]

Great price, enjoy!

[@airva21901]

I got the 13 mini two weeks ago and I love the size of the phone!!!

[@kevin.o]

Ah je spreekt Nederlands zie ik! Geweldig content Dion 🔥 de manier waarop je praat is erg rustig en dat is fijn om naar te luisteren. Het doet me erg denken aan Canoopsy 😉

[@DionMedia]

Hi Kevin, Nederlands is mijn moedertaal, hoewel ik Engelstalig onderwijs heb gehad. Dank voor je compliment; soms zegt men mij dat ik iets langzamer nog moet spreken. Canoopsy heeft wel een wat groter kanaal, maar leuk om de vergelijking te horen

[@Brian-ys6wr]

I have an iPhone 13 pro Mac not going to lie watching videos about it got me really hyped to get one but now that I have one now it’s not that impressive, I want to switch to the normal iPhone 13 not because the 13 pro max is bad but because it’s huge and right now I’m thinking of ether getting the iPhone se 3 or iPhone 13

[@DionMedia]

Hi Brian, thanks for sharing. Yes, the Pro Max is a big phone :)

[@situated4]

I simply prefer iTouch and a home button. Always will.

[@1mcalways]

Lol KZbin videos are Almost identical size on both phones.

[@STRxtreme]

KZbinrs have brainwashed a lot of people over time.( not pointing the video here) but, what do 80% of the people do that se3 can’t do? People need bigger display, oled screens? Not really, people have i pads, laptops and televisions for media consumption. If you do not, and you are buying a 13 pro…. Get a laptop instead as that’s a ore productive device overall. Se3 is more than enough for what most people would ever need

[@DionMedia]

Hi, thanks for sharing your point of view. I agree with you that one always has to look critically at his/her needs

[@greenbeans7666]

why wont they put the iphone se in a iphone 8 plus body for the bigger battery and the landscape mode on the home screen for iphone se

[@yadspi]

Just bought it new for 250, I have a Pixel 6 currently but like Apple CarPlay more and never watch videos on phones.

[@christophermarshall5784]

I have a 13pro however my son wants a new phone, at this time he has an Xr so I wanted to upgrade him...but I'm not buying an iPhone 13 for a 14yr-old kid...so he should be happy with this SE 3rd gen...thanks for the video

Can you inform me...and is this serious?

[@kennethxavier6012]

Stiicking to my xs for now. Great phone i think

[@DionMedia]

Yes, you are 100% right

[@HALWG51]

I have both phones. I use the SE as a backup. I much prefer the screen on the 13 as well as the face ID and gestures. But I like the size of the SE in many situations like going to the gym or out on walks. Both are good phones but for day to day use I much prefer the 13. I did consider buying an iPhone 13 mini as a backup but the price is just too high for a secondary phone.

[@DionMedia]

Hi, thanks for sharing, it pretty much sums up the whole discussion about the SE and the 13

[@davidhanson3345]

SE works fine for me. I saved a few bucks. I'm sure you can afford a new update every year. Best wishes.
