The iPhone SE 3 (2022) is the first "Special Edition" iPhone to feature 5G. It received some other modest upgrades from its predecessor, including a larger battery and the A15 Bionic chip.

The iPhone SE 3 (2022) has a 4.7" inch Retina HD display. It leaves a bit to be desired, as its 326 ppi (pixels per inch) pixel density, 1400:1 contrast ratio, and maximum brightness (625 nits) are identical to the iPhone SE 2 (2020).
The iPhone SE 3 features the familiar 7 MP selfie camera and 12 MP rear camera. The rear camera supports Portrait Mode and six different Portrait lightning conditions to help you take the best portrait photos possible. Video can be recorded in 4K quality at up to 60 frames per second, too!
This iPhone has three different storage variants: 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB.
The iPhone SE 3 (2022) supports Touch ID with a fingerprint sensor built into its Home button. However, it not does not support Face ID.
Perhaps the biggest upgrade from its predecessor, the iPhone SE 3 is equipped with the A15 Bionic chip, the same chip found in the iPhone 13 line. Additionally, the 3rd Generation SE features a 4-core GPU, 6-core CPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine, an upgrade from the SE 2's 8-core Neural Engine.
Apple says the iPhone SE 3 has a bigger battery than the SE 2, which has a 1,821 mAh battery. This larger battery, in addition to the upgraded processor and improved battery chemistry, will give the 3rd Generation iPhone SE better battery life than its predecessor.
However, it's important to keep in mind that 5G may have a negative impact on the SE 3's battery life. A phone typically needs to put out more power to connect to 5G networks, as those networks aren't as fully developed as existing 4G LTE networks.
The iPhone SE 3 has an IP67 ingress protection rating. It designed to be water-resistant when submerged up to one meter for up to thirty minutes.
