iPhone SE 2 Discontinued, iPhone SE 3 From $429 Now Apple's Cheapest iPhone

With Apple's debut of the new third-generation iPhone SE (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/03/08/apple-announces-new-iphone-se/) at its spring "Peek Performance" event, Apple has dropped the previous second-generation iPhone SE from its lineup on the online Apple Store, which means the cheapest new iPhone Apple offers has gone up in price.

The old iPhone SE 2 featured an A13 Bionic chip, 3GB RAM, and a low starting price of $399. It came in white, black, and red, and was offered with 64GB or 128GB of storage.





By contrast, the new iPhone SE 3 features the A15 Bionic processor - the same chip found in the iPhone 13 series – as well as improved battery life, a new 12MP Wide camera system, and 5G connectivity (although not the fastest mmWave (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/03/08/iphone-se-ipad-air-no-5g-mmwave/)). As a result, pricing for the new model starts at $429, up $30 from the previous model, and is offered in the same three colors.





The new version of the iPhone SE also includes a new 256GB storage option not offered on the previous model, coming in at $579. The iPhone SE continues to be compatible with Qi-certified chargers for wireless charging, and also supports fast charging.





Preorders for the new iPhone SE 3 begin on Friday, March 11, with the first devices shipping on March 18.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: iPhone SE 2020 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-se/)</div><div class="linkback">Tag: March 2022 Apple Event (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/march-2022-apple-event/)</div><div class="linkback">Buyer's Guide: iPhone SE (Buy Now) (https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#iPhone_SE)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: iPhone (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/iphone.99)</div>
