The third-generation iPhone SE (also known as the iPhone SE 3 or the iPhone SE 2022) is a smartphone designed and developed by Apple Inc. It is part of the 15th generation of the iPhone, alongside the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini and iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max models. Apple announced the third-generation iPhone SE on March 8, 2022, as the successor to the second-generation iPhone SE. Pre-orders began on March 11, 2022, and the phone was released afterwards on March 18, 2022.[7][8][9] It was released with a starting price of US$429, a $30 increase over its predecessor.

The third-generation iPhone SE has the same dimensions and form factor as the second-generation iPhone SE. The iPhone SE has a similar design to the iPhone 8 and similar internal hardware components to the iPhone 13 series, including the A15 Bionic system-on-chip[10] and 5G connectivity.

The third-generation iPhone SE is the last iPhone to feature 4 GB of RAM, as well as 64 GB of internal storage.
