Introduction

Fast runs in the family.
At the heart of iPhone SE you'll find the same superpowerful A15 Bionic chip that's in iPhone 13.

A15 Bionic enhances nearly everything you do. Apps load in a flash and feel so fluid.

Big-time battery life.
A highly efficient chip, an enhanced battery, and iOS 15 work together to boost battery life. When you do need to charge, just place iPhone SE on a wireless charger. Or connect a 20W or higher adapter to fast charge from zero to up to 50 percent charge in 30 minutes flat.

5G now on SE.
Faster downloads.
Faster streaming.
Faster gaming.
Less lag.
More fun.
From livestreaming to multiplayer gaming to video sharing, 5G really speeds things up. It even makes FaceTime in high definition and SharePlay feel smooth and seamless when you're on the go. When you don't need all that speed, iPhone SE shifts into Smart Data mode to preserve battery life.

With the power of A15 Bionic and a fast 5G connection, you're set up for years to come.
