Buyer’s Guide: Is it worth it to buy the new third generation iPhone SE?


The third generation iPhone SE is the newest edition to Apple's iPhone lineup and it's also a great option for customers who would like to try out the iPhone for the first time but aren't willing to spend a lot for the premium flagship iPhones. Here's a quick rundown of features available on the third generation iPhone SE.


Third generation iPhone SE features:

  • 12MP Wide camera with Smart HDR 4 and 4K video up to 60 fps

  • 7MP front facing camera with Smart HDR 4 and 1080p video recording

  • New A15 Bionic chip found on iPhone 13 lineup

  • Up to 15 hours of video playback on a single charge

  • Support for 5G

  • IP67 water resistance rating

The design of the third generation iPhone SE is the same as the iPhone 8 and it still has the home button with Touch ID. It also has a small 4.7-inch LCD display and doesn't feature the OLED displays found on the flagship models. The iPhone 14 base model also only comes with 64GB of storage while the flagship iPhone 13 models come with 128GB of storage on the base models.

Customers who should buy a third generation iPhone SE are those who are new to the Apple ecosystem since existing iPhone users won't get any huge upgrades from their existing iPhones by switching over.


It's also worth it to note that Apple's upcoming iPhone 14 models will launch in September and buying an iPhone right now isn't probably the best decision since you will not want to miss out on the new models.


We don't recommend that you purchase a third generation iPhone SE if you're an existing iPhone user since you won't see any massive differences between your previous iPhone and the newer models. It's definitely worth to wait a couple of months for the new iPhone 14 models or find another cheaper alternative like the iPhone 11 or iPhone 12 models which are still available to purchase from Apple and are great options.


If you're looking to purchase the third generation iPhone SE, it retails for $429 and you can buy it in Midnight, Product Red, and Starlight color options. It's also available in 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB storage options.
