iPhone SE (3rd generation)

Background

Apple announced the third-generation iPhone SE on March 8, 2022, which succeeded the second-generation iPhone SE. Pre-orders began on March 11, 2022. The phone was released afterwards on March 18, 2022. The third-generation model shares its predecessor's dimensions and form factor while sharing similar internal hardware components from the iPhone 13 series, including the A15 Bionic system-on-chip. The iPhone SE is available in three colors: Midnight, Starlight, and a Product Red edition. Midnight and Starlight replace Black and White respectively. The third-generation SE adds several camera functions enabled by the A15 Bionic. Like the 13 and 13 Pro, the rear camera supports Smart HDR 4. To comply with mandates, the iPhone SE (third generation), as well as all the iPhone 14 models, were discontinued in the European Union in 2024, completing the iPhone's transition from a Lightning connection to USB-C.
