Is The SE 3 Repairable?

Unboxing, Teardown, & Reparability Review.
The iPhone SE 3 (2022), is Apple's latest affordable iPhone. It comes with 5G and Apple's strongest glass yet. In this video, we unbox, review and take a look at how repairable this device is. Since this is Apple's first release since the announcement of Apples Self service repair program, we can get a good look at any changes Apple may have made since that news. We teardown the device as well as swap boards to see what Apple has done this time...

Actually the SE2 had two versions of its box. The one with charging brick and EarPods and the one like the SE3 box. I also hate how they give you a lightning to USB-C cable with the new boxes when USB-C bricks aren’t as common. It’s actually been said that it creates more waste with the smaller boxes because now some people have to go out and buy a charger with its own packaging waste. They Just wanted to save a buck not including a charger and headphones under the guise that it was more environmentally friendly.

To add to that, it was recently revealed that Apple made $5 billion by removing accessories from the iPhone box.

A lot of people say how dated and old the iPhone 8 design is. I personally actually really like it and prefer this uninterrupted screen instead of a annoying ASF Notch or Hole punch. And it is a real shame that the iPhone SE 2 (And probably SE 3 as well) Don't cone with 3D Touch. 3D Touch wil literally let you navagate without a home button!

[@staidey5994]

Apple killed 3D Touch a long time ago. There ain’t much 3D Touch support even on 3D Touch capable devices. Apple pretty much just neutered the 3D Touch support starting from iOS 13.

[@nateholden7598]

@@staidey5994 Even on the latest version every feature (Except for Peek and Pop) still work on 3D Touch devices! I am not sure if drawing still works but I know using the keyboard to select text or as a trackpad, Going into the app switcher or the next app, triggering app shortcuts, and instead of peeking you get an app preview that you can touch into. All of these things you can do with Haptic Touch and with 3D Touch. (Except for trigger the app switcher) 3D Touch has no delay at all while Haptic Touch takes 1.0 seconds. Also woth 3D Touch you can trigger the trackpad anywhere while with Haptic Touch you can only do it with the spacebar. I own a iPhone 6+ and not having 3D Touch is a PAIN! After helping other people woth their iPhones (iPhone 6S, 8, X, XS, XS Max, 12, 13, and the minis) I found that 3D Touch is not only faster but wayyyyyyy more satisfying to use due to pressure being applied. 3D Touch is not dead dead yet and I would personally prefer the iPhone 6S on IOS 12.5.5 because I want full 3D Touch with Peek and Pop and everything and because of the jack. I won't be updating a 6S if I get it on an older version.

Saving the button or button swap helps. Serial numbers on everything Apple?!?

reason being the touch ID is not working because the touch ID button is linked to the logic board. even though they are physically separated but still if you even for example only change the touch ID button it will not work as the logic board will not recognise it as its own. must be serial number linked. The same applies to all iPhones with touch ID.
