The iPhone SE (2022) will be the phone people love and hate at the same time. On the one hand, they will like it, but they will be scared away by the design from 2014. But for some people, it’s a better buy than, for example, the Pixel 5a and some other smartphones in this price range. The debate will go on for a very long time, but Apple really does something that others don’t. iPhone SE 2022 and Google Pixel 5a are smartphones that bring the world of Android and Apple as close as possible, but even they are too different. Now let’s look at what these models are and what exactly the iPhone SE 2022 is so good at.
This phone simply could not but cause controversy.
Who needs a new iPhone SE 3
People who need a phone to make calls, send text messages, and scroll through the social media feed choose a phone based on these requirements. Moreover, they will use it for quite a long time. Perhaps this term will exceed even 5 years. The iPhone SE 2020 is perfect for them. It has everything you need to use it and last a long time. Although it is expensive (especially now), the question of needs and the availability of money are two different things.
Apple took the iPhone 8 (released in 2017!) and replaced the A11 Bionic with the new A15 Bionic, which is available in the iPhone 13. Everything else is basically the same as the iPhone 8, including the camera, display, home button, and more. As you can see, this is enough to make users want to buy a new product.
In addition, it was this approach that allowed Apple to make the iPhone SE (2022) so cheap. The company has already spent a lot of money and time researching and developing this design, so it basically only needs to replace some components and it will be a “brand new phone”.
Many have been waiting for such an iPhone SE. But it’s almost an iPhone 13 mini. Why do we need another such phone?
How long will the iPhone SE 2022 receive updates
The appearance of the A15 Bionic in this phone suggests that Apple will be able to support the iPhone SE for years to come. iOS 15.4 (released March 14, 2022) is currently rolling out to iPhone 6S and later. He came out in 2015. Yes, the seven year old phone is still getting updates from Apple. And he might even get iOS 16 when it releases this fall.

If Apple is updating phones that are currently seven years old, then how long will it release fresh iOS versions for the iPhone SE 2022? It will be at least 5-7 years, and maybe more. Just imagine that if you buy this phone now, you will receive updates after 2030. Looks surreal, but it’s possible. At a minimum, it will be updated as much as the iPhone 13 Pro Max, which costs three times as much. All due to the fact that the same processor is inside.
This is probably the main reason why this phone perfect for some people. It’s not so important for everyone to get the latest iOS in 5 years, but on the iPhone, security updates are associated with the operating system and cannot be distributed separately. So, all this time your phone will be protected. Also, unlike Android, you’ll receive an update the first day it’s released. It will not be that one phone will receive iOS 16 today, and the one that is cheaper and not interesting to the manufacturer in six months.
Although this iPhone has only one camera module, the Pixel 5a also has one. This is the case when this is enough.
Do you need a 5G phone
Yes, it’s not yet time for 5G, but the iPhone SE 2022 has it too. Would you say that cheaper Android phones have it? You will be right, but often they are a sad sight, where all forces are put into one function. But we can say that he has a fantastic camera (who will check?), a cool screen (also everything is relative) and there is 5G (Wow!). This can be sold, especially if it costs a little more than $ 100.

In fact, the time for 5G has not yet come and it is not worth chasing it on purpose. but iPhone SE 2022 supports 5G, which means it will be relevant in 5 years. But he will remain not only with these two characters in the characteristics, but also with a good camera and a powerful processor.
At the same time, the iPhone SE 2022 costs less than the Pixel 5a with 5G. Some claim that it has a better camera than the iPhone, but many tests say they are comparable in quality. But the good thing about the iPhone SE is that it’s easy to use. It is suitable for people of age and you do not need to get used to it. Even the most casual users will be able to open the camera app and take a picture. No need to worry about switching to portrait mode or any other mode. Of course, this is also possible on the Pixel 5a with 5G, but sometimes things are much slower there. Functionally – yes, quickly – no.
When slides of the appearance of the new iPhone appeared at the presentation, many were upset. But many were glad that the classic design remained.
The downside of the iPhone SE that no one cares about
Many users don’t care that the iPhone SE (2022) has such huge bezels. They don’t stick around for hours on social networks and don’t play “Cold” every free minute. They need only one thing – to work quickly, well and clearly. And that’s why this design is perfect. Of course, many of you will say that this is an ugly design and very dated, which I agree with, but it is functional if you do not need a huge screen. And the phone itself weighs very little and is literally not felt in your pocket. And when gripping from below, there will be less accidental touches.

And the iPhone SE 2022 has Touch ID. In a world where we still wear masks from time to time, it’s great to have Touch ID instead of Face ID. Even though Apple is finally made Face ID work with masks in iOS 15.4, the fingerprint scanner, and even so convenient, and not often buggy screen, it’s good.
In conclusion, I really hope that other Android manufacturers will look at this from the outside and understand that they are required not only spade-like monsters. Sometimes you need to offer an alternative and would like to see what Samsung or OPPO comes up with. But there is not much hope for this. It’s a pity…
