As we've heard from countless rumours, the Apple iPhone SE is making a comeback. It's an incremental update from its predecessor, but it still offers some pretty good specs for what's considered the most affordable iPhone. It now runs on the Apple A15 Bionic processor, which powers the latest iPhone 13 smartphones. It brings improved performance and battery life, which is needed especially since the SE now supports 5G.

The extended battery life might also be attributed to a larger battery. It promises up to 15 hours of video playback, 10 hours of streaming video playback, and 50 hours of audio playback. The iPhone SE supports Qi wireless charging, but it doesn't have MagSafe support.

It retains a 4.7-inch display and the home button for Touch ID. But don't go looking for Face ID here. It also keeps the single 12-megapixel camera but gets better computational photography features like Deep Fusion and HDR 4.

Apple offers the iPhone SE 2022 in Midnight, Starlight, and (PRODUCT)RED colours. The starting price is $579. You can find out info on trade-in offers here. It'll be available for preorder starting Friday, March 11, at 5 AM PST, with shipping expected on March 18.
