Apple iPhone SE (2022)

Fast Runs in the family

At the heart of iPhone SE, you’ll find the same super powerful A15 Bionic chip that’s in iPhone 13. A15 Bionic enhances nearly everything you do. Apps load in a flash and feel so fluid. You get incredibly smooth graphics performance for gaming. A15 Bionic even powers advanced photography features that make each part of your photo faces, places, everything look fabulous.

Big-time battery life

A highly efficient chip, an enhanced battery, and iOS 15 work together to boost battery life. When you do need to charge, just place iPhone SE on a wireless charger. Or connect a 20W or higher adapter to fast charge from zero to up to 50 percent charge in 30 minutes flat.

5G Now On SE

From livestreaming to multiplayer gaming to video sharing, 5G really speeds things up. It even makes FaceTime in high definition and SharePlay feel smooth and seamless when you’re on the go. When you don’t need all that speed, iPhone SE shifts into Smart Data mode to preserve battery life.

Cool with Stumbles

Thanks to a durable design and the toughest glass in a smartphone. iPhone SE shrugs off spills from common liquids such as water, soda, coffee, tea, and juice. And it’s certainly not bothered by a little dust, either.

A camera you’ll instantly click with

The A15 Bionic chip does all kinds of computations behind the scenes to make your photos look great. For example, Smart HDR 4 automatically refines the contrast, lighting, and skin tones for up to four people, so everyone looks their best.

Low-light scenes, Just-right videos

Go ahead, keep the camera rolling. The enhanced video on iPhone SE picks up an incredible amount of detail including contours, shadows, and highlights even when the sun goes down.
