Apple updated the third generation of the iPhone SE at the earlier Spring Festival conference, which adopted a design that was exactly the same as the previous generation, but it was equipped with the strongest mobile phone chip at present.
You may not be able to understand who would buy such a phone with such an update, but in fact the iPhone SE's second-generation sales ranked eighth among all mobile phones in the world in 2021, surpassing the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
The third generation of the iPhone SE is also the first to print the fingerprint recognition area and the position of each key on its factory protective film to indicate their functions. Obviously, the target users of the third generation of iPhone SE are the people who are new to the iPhone.
Users who buy the third generation of iPhone SE will not pursue any trendy features, they just want to buy a normal "mobile phone".
Although the third generation of the iPhone SE is an "old bottle of new wine" phone, but it still has many upgrades compared to the second generation of the iPhone SE, let's take a look at it.
Consistent appearance, but more rugged
The iPhone SE 3rd generation and iPhone SE 2nd generation and even the iPhone 8 have exactly the same appearance, and it is difficult to distinguish them from the appearance alone.
The only difference may be the color, this year's iPhone SE third generation of the three colors are starlight, midnight and red, which is consistent with the previous generation of white, black and red basic color system, but their look and feel is still different.
Apple strengthened the front and rear glass panels of the third generation of the iPhone SE and called it "the strongest glass in smartphones", but it did not carry the super-ceramic crystal panel in the iPhone 13 series (it is composed of nano-scale porcelain crystals combined with glass, strictly speaking, it is not all glass, and Apple's description of this wave is also very rigorous).
Another "bright spot" in the design is that the third generation of iPhone SE still retains the physical home button and fingerprint recognition, which is also an "advantage" in the current epidemic environment that requires wearing a mask for a long time.
The strongest chip, the ultimate performance
The biggest upgrade of the third generation of the iPhone SE is that it is equipped with the A15 bionic chip, which is exactly the same as the iPhone 13 series, but misses a graphics processor core than the iPhone 13 Pro series.
Apple described the third generation of the iPhone SE as "faster than all competitors." It is also true that the A15 chip surpasses the performance of all Android platform processors.
In addition, due to the single-layer motherboard design of the third generation of the iPhone SE and the low screen resolution, its actual performance may be stronger than that of the iPhone 13.
In terms of memory, the third generation of the iPhone SE has also been upgraded from the previous generation of 3 GB to 4 GB. So you don't have to worry about the performance of the third generation of the iPhone SE at all.
The lenses are the same, but the quality is better
With the powerful performance of the A15 chip and Apple's exclusive secret computational photography solution, even in the case of completely unchanged camera hardware parameters, the camera quality of the third generation of the iPhone SE has been greatly improved compared with the previous generation.
The third generation of iPhone SE supports deep integration technology, portrait mode, smart HDR 4, photography style and other functions, but does not support night mode.
Although these functions seem very powerful, they are still not as good as the photographic effects of those flagship devices, and daily recording of life and scanning codes are also very sufficient.
Battery life and 5G
Although Apple replaced the third generation of the iPhone SE with new battery materials and used updated battery management technology, no matter how to optimize it, it could not break through the physical limitations.
Compared with the previous generation, the third generation of iPhone SE is naturally a little improved, but with the addition of 5G, a large power consumer, it is best not to have too many expectations for battery life. At the same time, the 5G of the third generation of iPhone SE supports sub-6GHz frequency and does not support mmWave mmWave.
Price
Earlier, some whistleblowers predicted that the price of the third generation of the iPhone SE would be reduced, but in fact it rose by 200 yuan. It seems that the price increase of 200 yuan may not be much for the iPhone, but it will still have a big impact on the "price-sensitive" users who want to buy the third generation of the iPhone SE.
However, fortunately, there are often various price reduction and discount activities in China, and within the first week, there are e-commerce platforms that play a price of less than 3,000 yuan, and the "cost performance" is very high.
For those who do not like to chase new, mobile phones as long as enough, and are very price sensitive, iPhone SE 3 is very suitable for them, I don't know what you think? Feel free to leave a comment in the comments section below to discuss with us!
