Product details

Speed runs in the family. The heart of the iPhone SE is the same extremely powerful A15 Bionic chip found in the iPhone 13.

The A15 Bionic makes everything better. Apps load lightning-fast and feel smooth.

And that's not all. You get incredibly fluid graphics performance for gaming.

Great battery life. A highly efficient chip, an optimized battery, and iOS 15 work together for even more battery life. When you want to charge your iPhone SE, you can simply place it on a wireless charger. Or connect it to a 20W power adapter or higher to fast charge from 0 to 50% in about 30 minutes.

5G is now in the SE.

Faster charging.
Faster streaming.
Faster gaming.
Less waiting.
More fun.

Whether it's live streaming, multiplayer gaming, or video sharing – 5G makes everything much faster. Even FaceTime in HD and SharePlay feel smooth and seamless when you're on the go. And when you don't need as much speed, the iPhone SE switches to the energy-saving Smart Data Mode.

With the power of the A15 Bionic and a fast 5G connection, the future can come.

The sensible iPhone. There are trade-offs in display technology, size and camera, but in terms of performance and connectivity, the SE is on a par with the iPhone 13.

In its current edition, the iPhone SE is losing its status as the clear price tip among iPhones. On the one hand, Apple has raised the price of the SE, on the other hand, the 12 mini, which has been available for one and a half years but is better equipped, is hardly more expensive...

The iPhone SE is a successful upgrade for trend-avoiders who love the classic design of the iPhone 8 with home button: The processor is blazingly fast, making the SE future-proof together with 5G. The tiny screen is weak, but the camera and battery offer decent performance. But if you're looking for an affordable and handy iPhone, you should go for the 12 mini with OLED and a better camera.
