Compare the Apple iPhone SE 2022 tot the Apple iPhone SE 2020

The iPhone SE 2022 has the A15 Bionic chip. You'll also find this chip in the iPhone 13 series. As a result, you can easily edit a photo on this device. The fast processor also increases the lifespan of the device. You can expect at least 5 or 6 more large software updates. That means the device will last you until 2027 at least. The A15 chip is also energy-efficient. You can play videos for up to 15 hours. That's 2 hours longer than with the iPhone SE 2. You do have to store the movies and series locally on the device, and not stream it via the internet.

The A13 Bionic chip is a solid chip that allows you to effortlessly play a basic game like Candy Crush or browse the internet. The A13 Bionic processor won't last as long as the A15 chip in the iPhone SE 3. The device was released in 2020 and will receive 2 or 3 more large annual software updates. This means the iPhone SE 2 will last until 2025. The battery life is 2 hours less. That means you can play videos for up to 13 hours. This is only the case if you download your movie collection and store it on your device.

On the back of this device, you can find a single camera lens with a flash. With this 12-megapixel camera, you can take sharp photos. Even in low-light situations. Thanks to Smart HDR 4 and Deep Fusion, your photos look natural and contain a lot of detail. With the portrait mode, you can give your portrait photos a professional depth-of-field effect. The selfie camera on the front can be used for video calls.

The rear camera has the same number of megapixels, but it's less advanced. For example, you can't take advantage of Deep Fusion and newer Smart HDR 4. This makes your photos less sharp and colorful. You'll also notice that your photos are a bit more grainy in low-light situation. The selfie camera without Deep Fusion doesn't perform as well. Your selfies will be less sharp, for example.

This is the first SE iPhone model that allows you to connect to a 5G network. That way, you have access to the fastest and most stable mobile internet. You do need a 5G mobile internet data plan for this. You can also still connect to a 4G network, of course.

With the iPhone SE 2020, you can only connect to a 4G network. Mobile internet via 4G is less fast and stable than 5G. You'll especially notice this in busy places, such as festivals or trade shows.
