The IPhone SE might have an LCD Screen, but like Ken explained it's a better and sharper screen. Also it has Flagship Performance and Camera Quality.

Thanks for speaking out on how the design for this phone is still relevant on 2022! Some people like me, we don’t really care about having the latest design. We just want something that works. For me, I bought the SE2020 because I was in dire need of a new phone. I play games on my phone, and ofc the battery dies out very quickly, but other than that, it has been very impressive! Two years flew by like a blink. This is such a great review, thanks!

Omg a tech video that doesn't crap all over the SE 😲 So many reviews take points off b/c it doesn't have face ID, OLED, no bezels, etc but that is exactly why most people buy an SE. All y'all who want face ID and new design have plenty of options, the SE is for the rest of us. I have the SE 2 now and just ordered the SE 3 for 5g & bigger battery and I'm super excited to get it. OLED phones give me headaches and nausea, face ID has just never worked well for me either so I'm really happy Apple still makes a good touch ID phone with LCD.

The reason why I bought the SE model is due to the fingerprint. I honestly HATE the faceID, it never works when I'm wearing the face mask even after the last update, and it fails most of the time even when I'm not wearing the mask and I need to enter manually the PIN. The worst part is when it works, and you still need to swipe up to unlock the phone.... it's so inconvenient. With the fingerprint, you press the button and that's it.

[@Mr_Spock512]

Same here ... I bought the SE because of TouchID. I'm not a heavy phone user and I couldn't care less about the camera so this model is perfect for me. And it's small and cheap ... win win! So it doesn't look trendy, who cares it's a utility device not a freakin' fashion statement.

You hit it on the head. I traded my 11 Pro Max in for a 13 Pro Max and was largely underwhelmed. The body was uncomfortable to hold and the cameras weren't as big of an improvement as I expected. I'm a casual shooter, so I hardly ever use anything besides the standard lens. ProMotion was sick, but it wasn't enough to justify $1400. I returned it and got a 128GB SE. So far, after adjusting to the bezels and overall smaller size, I've been loving it. Extremely small and lightweight (even with a case), performance has been blazing, battery life is acceptable if not exemplary, and the software trickery at play with the cameras yields a larger improvement over the 2020 SE than many would think.

100% agreed. I run a mobile business and cannot believe the response the SE is getting from supposed experts on YT. People LOVE the SE and are clamoring for the new one.

Additionally, I do not want face ID and prefer touch ID which doesn't exist on home button-less iPhones. I'm hoping in 5-7 years when I change phones again that Apple has brought back the home button, or at least engineered a way to use touch ID without the home button.

So the phone would be 5.4 inches with a punch hole camera, 1080p display, decent battery, a14 chip inside and even 4g would do. This way the name Special Edition would mean something

[@lilPopper]

For the price, I wouldn't complain about the vintage iPhone 6/7/8 design on the modern SE. Apple always future proofs their hardware for 5 years or longer. The iPhone 6S is still getting software upgrades. And for those users still using the old models, eventually to a point where parts to repair them are too expensive, the new SE is a perfect option and/or transition to upgrade to a phone with a familiar design (no need to tamper with muscle memory) with new internal guts to last long going forward. Older accessories can be reused on the new SE. And using an LCD over OLED not only helps the SE have a longer battery life (especially now that the 2022 SE has 5G), it helps users not have to deal with pulse-width modulation.

The square edge design of the prior SE model and its size was the perfect combination for me. The squareness, lets say, helped the phone stay in my hand more securely. I lost a large amount of contacts one day while charging the battery. Gone for ever. Purchased an iPhone 8 in the second half of 2019 believing I purchased a substandard model from Apple. I wish Apple would have done something in compensation. Malfunctioning from the beginning, the iPhone 8 got totally crazy after updating IOS 15. No solution for me and no help from the manufacturer again. Programmed Obsolescence through the Operating System. Total rip off. Yet, I will buy my last iPhone believing I now believe I understand what the name of the game is. Will buy the new SE because I am used to the interface, otherwise, I would not lend myself to another costly expense and be taken advantage of by the manufacturer: They have gone too far in this regard. A new phone after 2 1/2 years? I use the phone for practical reasons. Still cannot understand the reviews about a phone where all is said is regarding the screen, the camera, and gaming. There is a portion of users that are not interested in showing off the latest gadget or use a mini screen to enjoy the richness of colours, etc etc of a game or movie because it makes no sense, for one. That is why I have a 50" screen TV, you see. Perhaps manufacturers could consider gown up consumers with less requirements. The price they charge for these devices makes no sense. Will buy SE for 2022 because it is small, powerful, 5G will provide better and faster reception as claimed, I can see it lasting 5 years against the 2,5 that my 600$ iPhone 8 lasted me. 64GB is enough for what I do and need. The camera? A gimmick. I use my DSLR to make decent pictures that I can edit later. Should the phone be provided with a decent camera that makes a viewable photo, I will have the option. In this review Danki states that the new model has the square edge design and follows saying he does not see the SE model keeping up with the new design. Well, that was the original design. The SE was the odd looking one with no roundness in its forms. They have flipped the design and the old is now found on the new 13. SE is identical to the iPhone 8 that, by the way, will not stay put in my hand due to its round edges. Bigger device with round edges are very cumbersome to hold, at least for me. If you keep your phone in your hand for 9 hours a day, that makes you a professional round edge phone handler. I am in the Canary Islands, Spain. There is no Apple Store so I am not able to buy direct from Apple in person or purchase online because it will not be delivered even though I am in Spain territory. I have been told Apple´s policy, which means discrimination. With this, I am not eligible to purchase Apple Care either and they suggest to add it to the homeowners insurance. What?. Just like that! Do not let me tell you about my MacBook Pro and other devices I own. Same story where Apple shows its true colours. The color of money and nothing else. SE 2022 model is advertised in the US for 429$, which is 386€ (Euro). Today March 31, 2022, the SE 64GB is between 509 to 539 Euros that represent 565 to 600 USD, same phone. 31% more expensive.

I've just upgraded from the XS to a 13 Mini. I didn't look at an SE, either time, because of its lower specification. Absolutely loving my 13 Mini. Strange to think that this has the same footprint as my iPhone 7. How times change. Thanks for the content.

[@gqftoast]

I bought a version 2 se at wally for $100 on black friday sale and I love it. For me the migration of cell phones to semi tablets is out of control. I want a small simple phone and this fits the bill nicely.

[@minilight3490]

I think it is the last iphone with home button in the apple lineup.

[@LXMAGIC]

I still have a 2016 SE working fine with no case. I hope this version is strong enough to allow going naked.

[@Therejectionartist]

I am still happy with 2020SE, I even replaced the broken screen instead of ditching it. Perfect phone. Will just use it until it reaches its natural end. The retro look, no bells and whistles simplicity of it makes it attractive. And it feels like a phone, not a halfway house to a tablet.

[@milo_thatch_incarnate]

Thank you!! I really appreciate a content creator who will take into account how good this iPhone is for the average consumer, not how interesting it is to nerds. I am on a tight budget and I just need a new iPhone to navigate with and play music on. I don’t care if it’s not fancy or new.

[@DanSaso]

Your channel slaps! love the color, the edits, the audio.. new subscriber. Keep up the great work!

[@augustferno9604]

The best review on the New iSE, honest and objective, definitely, I’m upgrading to this little beast!

[@stolmich]

I own an iPhone SE 2022, and I'm soo happy with it. It has a good amount of storage, performs good on google meet, and it fits good in my pocket.

[@mirrakirra]

If I needed an Iphone, this would be quite nice. Good price, small size, especially compared to my ZFlip.

[@beautyneytiri]

i just got myself an iphone se 2020 and i'm amazed by how fluent some things are even though it's a 60 hertz display. some things definitely move way faster than that.

[@abdullaharshad5052]

Good work. Thorough. To the point. Full of information. 👌👌👌

THE POLARIS ARTBOOK 😍 awesome video!

[@Denki]

The art is soooo good ✨️

[@MoominBoomin]

I was excited about the new se 2020 because I was looking for a replacement for my old phone. In my area, I picked up the 2020 model for 100$! there is nothing, absolutely nothing, that even touches it in that price range. I am not an avid phone gamer so my battery does last a bit longer, but yes the battery is quite tiny. I would either buy a battery case (sacrificing practicality) or have a charge in your pocket (general annoyance). Be this new SE as it may, but it is a strong contender in the low end-budget area.

[@itmm92]

The best phone ever will always be the first SE of all! The aesthetics, the battery, the camera and the price, plus the touch id, the best combo ever! I run out of storage with the first one and I basically bought the second generation SE but yeah, the battery stucks, I have it for more than 2 years and I am now thinking of upgrading it because of that :(. I hate waste money like this, it hurts my feelings, but it's not so doable a battery like this one. I also don't want to leave the Apple universe, I really like the ecosystem, the UX they provide is the best one.

[@TheJhtlag]

Heh, heh, I'm still using my gen1 SE although it is now entering the count-down to being no longer supported. But as for that, so what? Obviously, I'm a cell phone 101 guy, use it for calls, emails, Some functions like strava and streaming some music basically. The battery is also probably getting to the point of degradation so, yeah, why I'm here looking at the newer ones. But for $50 it probably was one of those "perfect" things.

[@adamlamar101]

I agree- my dream phone is the original SE form factor updated with modern tech but still with the bezels. Held onto my 2016 as long as I could and even replaced the battery at the Genius Bar, but iOS15 kills the battery life. When my bank app no longer worked I gave in; and I love the SE3. I kept the SE1 and threw a Mint Mobile chip into it, but mostly just use it on WiFi to surf when the SE3’s on the charger..

[@sandraperez2117]

I totally agree with you on everything you say about it. I am a user of the iPhone 13 Pro Max, it is an excellent work tool for me. I'm a publicist. I work and live surrounded by Apple devices. But if it wasn't and I didn't use my phone as a work tool, just for normal use, I wouldn't have any qualms about having an iPhone SE 3. Because it would totally serve my Apple ecosystem.

[@No-jb6fy]

Size makes a difference for me. I'm used to this Moto E4 that I like very much. This seems like an interesting upgrade for me, especially for the camera. It's like a LTS Apple barebone. I just wish they added a bit extra battery life. Also like the touch ID. iOS 16 might be the cherry on top of this.

[@SimplisticallyDigital]

Love this video! I am looking at an SE for a work phone. I miss Touch ID.

[@alangann8637]

In March or April 2020, Walmart!!? Home page featured the new SE2 for $199. Clicking brought you straight to Apple where the 64gb model was $199. I bought 2 for my wife and me. I always felt like I had stolen them. We are both now over 80, are not heavy users, but the SE2 is more than enough for us. Btw, my phone integrates perfectly with CarPlay in my new car. And, it has been able to run IOS17.41. and will be upgraded to 17.5. I may look at the SE4 but not in any hurry.

[@flyingninja1234]

I don’t like the notched iPhones, so I went with the SE. I’m glad I did.

[@andrewwarner7580]

Looking forward to getting this SE.

[@michaelwoolcock5600]

Got it. It’s a pocket power house!

[@shirleyking7598]

Get the iPhone SE trust me . It will make more sense in the long run

[@PrestonsGarage]

I wish the white se had the white front glass. I may be the only one, but that’s just what I wish.

[@sanders2378]

Me too.

[@conspicuousrod4910]

I've owned the 12 mini, 13 mini, and 2020 SE. I prefer Android, and love touch ID. Picking up a iPhone SE 2022 tomorrow. I don't want to let go of my Pixel 7a, and I can use the SE from time to time lol.

[@rushindl1]

We love a 12 MP shooter in the rear 🥸@6:12

[@aust100]

Still rocking my se 2020 and it’s great don’t need a new phone yet. For me it’s plenty of power

[@heathersailes4280]

I agree with you that the iPhone SE 2020 has plenty of power. The SE 2020 is also perfect for someone like me who has small hands and is totally blind. I’ll be keeping my iPhone SE 2020 for a while.

[@SameBasicRiff]

Big fan of the home button lol. The new phones look good but not good enough from the older ones imo. It's not like were looking at the diff. between a flip phone and an iphone 4s or anything. When apple has a bezel-less, under screen camera & fingerprint sensor phones, then I'll care about spending top dollar in the Apple mobile ecosystem, imo. Until then, classic and cheap is perfect, glad it exists.

[@avamiscelano]

i see that design as the iconic vintage design now, than outdated as many says... i personally love that retro classic design.

[@tinayalatorres7017]

Im changing my iPhone 8+ for the iPhone SE 22 and I feel it's gonna be a great change. I just love the touch ID 🤷‍♂️ also I love how simple it is! Just like apple philosophy back in the day

[@hanzard3299]

1:53 nice song you got there

[@blackheart58]

I still have the iPhone se 2020 and it still works great. It satisfies all my needs. If it should give out on me, in the near future I’ll move to the se 2022. I’m on a fixed income to start with. I like the smaller phone because it fits in my hands better. Less chance of dropping it. For me the iPhone se perfect.

[@NaqqashLatif]

According to the spec sheet over at apple site, the newer model uses something called "Advanced LTE", which used to come with the iPhone 8, while the 2nd Gen. SE uses Gigabit-Class LTE like the newer models, even with this downgrade I'm surprised to see the newer phone having better sustained LTE performance. Your thoughts on this?

[@thematthewlondon]

i have the iphone se 2020.. got it for $250 at walmart and have owned it outright since.. my parents liked it so much they each got one too and went with the payment option and it added $8 each to their bill for 2 years.. i'm perfectly happy with it, it makes calls, it does texts, i can look stuff up occasionally.. we've gotten to the point where boring is pretty damn good

[@lastlast2078]

This phone makes it so difficult to make a decision right now. Feels like wrong decision to spend more for the 12 now with the inferior chip but at the same time feels like wrong decision to spend less for the SE with better chip but quite a few sacrifices in screen, cameras, face unlock etc. I think they did this just to tip those on the edge into splurging on the 14. Apple is all about the mind games.
