Apple announced a new third-gen iPhone SE model tonight at its Peek Performance spring event. The eagerly awaited budget smartphone comes almost two years after its predecessor, the popular second-gen iPhone SE which launched in April 2020.
In this article we reveal everything you need to know about the iPhone SE 3, from its release date, pricing and colour finishes to tech specs and design.
When will the new iPhone SE launch?
The new iPhone SE was announced tonight, 8 March 2022, but you'll have to wait a few more days to get your hands on the device.
SE pre-orders will begin on Apple's website on Friday 11 March, and the device will hit shops on 18 March.
iPhone SE (2022) pricing
Prices for the new SE start at £419 in the UK, and $429 in the US. As usual, prices vary according to your storage requirements, with 64GB, 128GB and 256GB capacities to choose from:
64GB: £419/$429
128GB: £469/$479
256GB: £569/$579
These are solid mid-market prices that bring some of Apple's premium features and components within reach of the average budget. But we can't help feeling slightly disappointed. Ahead of the event rumours suggested that Apple might finally tackle the truly budget end of the market: there was talk of a sub-$300 iPhone SE to rival the cheapest Android phones.
