iPhone SE 3 Review

The first impressions of the third-generation iPhone SE have now been shared by a few media outlets and YouTubers, providing a closer look at Apple's latest entry-level iPhone. Reviewers praised the device's improved specifications, but were disappointed with its aging design and lack of Night mode.

The new model added the A15 Bionic chip from the iPhone 13 and an upgraded rear camera with more advanced computational photography capabilities. Delivery times for the third-generation ‌iPhone SE' will be slipping into late March, but will begin arriving to customers this Friday.

Allison Johnson of The Verge criticized the new design of the iPhone, saying that it was a tired design that made the already small screen feel even smaller.

The device has a more durable front and back glass, as well as the familiarity and reliability of the Touch ID fingerprint scanning.

The A15 Bionic chip from the ‌iPhone 13&200C; lineup was praised by Johnson.

The responsiveness to the high-end iPhone 13 Pro Max was noted by the ZDNet's Jason Cipriani.

Johnson said that support for 5G was a good future-proofing feature, even if it is not very useful yet.

The previous-generation model has a noticeable battery life improvement, according to Johnson.

The camera improvements of the ‌iPhone SE''s are computational and subtle as a result.

Johnson criticized the low-light performance and lack of Night mode of the device, but emphasized the benefits of Deep Fusion.

The lack of Night mode was still a disappointment, even though the similarity of photos taken with the sene and mini was the same.
