Hi Harvey, my pleasure

[@namesdom]

Just picked up my 13 mini a few days ago. Something that really surprised me is the color. Every where online it looks blue (in the midnight color) but in person, it looks almost green. Very nice color 👌🏻. The camera too, oh man I’ve never seen something so good

[@DionMedia]

Hi Rusty, you sound like a happy buyer:) Enjoy the 13 mini!

[@namesdom]

@@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!

[@DionMedia]

HI Tra, well said!

[@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 Yes you get a small more outdated screen and a smaller battery.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

[@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.

[@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.

For me, the quite small size of the SE isn’t a big problem, since I also own an iPad an a MacBook and usually , I consum longer video content on a bigger screen than my mobile screen since every mobile screen is too small to watch e.g. an episode of a series.

[@DionMedia]

Great to hear, what is the main difference?

[@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.

[@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

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

[@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.

As a person who works with tools a lot and draw from time to time, a bigger phone is not ideal as it can get in the way of doing things, as well as being bulky and hard to carry around, etc. The SE3 is the perfect, especially with its A15 CPU (it's fast enough for multi-tasking) and the ability to shoot in 4K videos!

I have a new SE. I’m not sure what other people use there phone for but I can’t kill the battery on it . My phone was last charged to full 22 hours ago and it’s at 38% .

Calls , text, social media, some KZbin , on line shopping and I’ve constantly gotten the same results for a month now. With 5g on and a VPN running. Frequent gps use. If you’re running this battery out in less than an 8 hour day you may want to do some soul searching.

[@johnfarel3152]

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.

I did.. the SE2. The small screen and home button were too much. I missed my iPhone 11 and switched right back. I had gotten the SE2 for a killer deal brand new and then an iPhone 11 about a month later. They really crippled it.. It did have Qi charging though which was a surprise.. my 90 year old grandma uses that phone and the only way she can remember to charge is setting it on the pad. I got her one with a little green ring to show it’s charging.. works well. She uses it for calls and texts and has no complaints. I’d say the SE series is for children or older folks.. it gets you into the ecosystem so you can setup family features and iMessage and subscriptions, but without ANY fluff or cool things. The battery was pretty bad if you streamed KZbin too.. that alone was a deal breaker for me, I watch a lot of KZbin and it sucked on the SE2 cause the battery. The screen looked good.. albeit small.

I wouldn't be surprised if this phone would exceed more than 6 years of supported updates because of Apple's reputation on delivering those. Also, I think the 13 mini makes more sense than the SE 2022 because of the extra features and slightly bigger screen and battery while still fitting in your pocket comfortably.

Hi Miguel, thanks for sharing your thoughts

The se’s fingerprint scanner is not user friendly than Face id

[@jirou6228]

@@PeteS_1994 the Touch iD is faster than Face iD

Right now it's looking like 5 major OS updates for iPhones is going to become the standard, so realistically iOS 20 should be expected as the final major update for the SE 2022 and 13 series. The 7 started on 10 and ended on 15, and the 8/X are rumored to end major support on 16 this year after shipping with 11. After that it'll probably be a couple more years of security updates.

I think Google Maps might be a bit of a pain, on a smaller screen. That's really only my main holdback on a smaller phone these days. But - it's an important feature for easier map reading.

[@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

[@azriakmar3254]

how the smaller size is easier for map reading?

Hele hoge kwaliteit video’s man! Zwaar ondergewaardeerd. Blijf uploaden en je zult vroeg of laat groot worden 💪🏻

[@DionMedia]

Ah, you’re my man. Dank je, ik ben net begonnen (een jaar Tech nu) en zeker niet van plan te stoppen:). En, je woorden van waardering stel ik op prijs! Geniet van het komend weekend.

[@cassiuscartland]

I am geuinley sad that the old design is the main thing driving people away from this phone. people mock me for having a “iPhone 6” (actually the SE 3) which they all assume is 10X worse than their iPhone X. Whem I tell them my phone is technically better, they dont belive me because it has the older design.

[@limesquared]

Wow! The SE display is huge to me after my android. But I do like the way the SE fits in small places.

[@littlehalestorm]

Also, great video. I love the way you explain things. :D

[@subhasishsaha123]

Me too.,.Battery is the saviour

[@umbertofurlan501]

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.

[@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 :)

[@50Steaks68]

My phones have been Samsung s3 (absolute garbage, last time I ever used an android phone), iPhone 8, and iPhone SE 2. I don’t plan on replacing this until the SE 4 with the new design and hopefully better battery life

[@chatryna]

Hek yeah, I would like to see comparison between se and iphone mini 13!

[@aaronaustrie]

I have a 2020 SE. Battery is terrible 🤦🏾‍♂

[@DionMedia]

Hi Aaron, yes, due to size and form the battery life is far from its best feature (so I agree with you)

[@TheBoomerPlace]

I miss my 3gs. Still using a 7plus which I’ll replace with the SE when needed. Great review.

[@DionMedia]

Hi Gerry, thanks!

[@2004cyrus]

3GS? Wow you taking it back about 14 years lol. Are you over 60 out of curiosity?

[@TheBoomerPlace]

@@2004cyrus Of course 😃

[@bradknicker]

Just got a 13 mini. SE probably would have suited me. What do you think?

[@DionMedia]

Hi Brad, it really depends on how you use your phone. The SE is a very good cost effective option, but if you are a ‘power user’ then I would suggest to take the 13mini. Have a look at the video again, it might be helpful

[@ganbatte1260]

"more flagship phone are getting expensive, and more aafordable phones are getting better.." i like this

[@DionMedia]

Yes!

[@stevenjackson6383]

I have the 12 mini and the new iPhone se 3rd generation and both have there pros and cons to both, I love the speed of the A15 and it’s noticeable over the a14 in the iPhone 12 mini

[@DionMedia]

Hi Steven, thanks for sharing

[@greeneyesfromohio4103]

If you had to pick between watching videos on the mini or SE which would you pick? The mini has the bigger screen I believe but it seems more narrow!

[@orlandoturbo6431]

I don't see the point in changing phones they still have the same iOS software.

[@DionMedia]

Hi Orlando, that in itself is correct, but other factors are important as well, from the type of screen to the chip inside

[@sakhaafriyanwijayakusuma4911]

Switching from 7 to SE 3 since its been 6 years. Thought bout to buy 13 at first but the hand grip and home button are what i need soo i choose the SE 3. Battery Perfomance is doing good, It can stay more than 12 hours. Soo, thats why i f$ck with the SE 3

[@Tele_gramfazerug03]

Winner Dm ☝️.

[@TheDonRMZ]

Looking for a backup phone and this se will do just fine with a charging case forsure but mainly just need the 4K 60 on the phone since I have the 13 pro just didn’t find the need to have 2 of them

[@inemesitukpong9077]

If you were a teacher, I think I'd enjoy your classes 😅 I love how you make gestures with your hand and speak very calmly.

[@DionMedia]

Thank you! 😃

[@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.
