The phone is available in a range of bright and vibrant colours to choose from including Midnight, Starlight and Product RED.

The third-generation iPhone SE is incredibly durable with its aluminium design and Apple’s toughest glass in a smartphone, so it will be protected from bumps and scrapes.

With Touch ID, Apple has brought back the home button on the front display, making it easier to unlock your phone, sign in to apps and make instant payments with the touch of a finger.

The phone's speed is comparable to that of some of Apple's most recent phones, with features such as the A15 Bionic chip, which made its debut on the iPhone 13.

It handles demanding tasks with minimal disruption and runs up to 8x faster than the iPhone 8. The A15 Bionic improves almost every aspect of the latest iPhone SE, whether you enjoy intense gaming while trying to beat that high score or watching movies with friends via SharePlay. The iPhone SE 2022 has an even better battery life thanks to the A15 Bionic efficiency and iOS 15 operating system, so you can enjoy your favourite iPhone activities without worrying about running out of power.

The iPhone SE 2022 camera is a significant upgrade from previous versions of the SE. With its 12MP camera, paired with the advanced power of the A15 Bionic chip, your photos are really going to stand out when you post on social media.
