The 2022 iPhone SE still feels amazing to use (physically)!
As someone who has a 2022 iPhone SE since its original launch date, I still think it’s a great iPhone with a no-nonsense form factor. The best part about this iPhone is that it feels physically easy to use and straightforward.
Here’s the funny part. For whatever reason, the keyboard on this 4.7 inch iPhone feels far easier and better to type on with two thumbs or with one handed mode than the 6.1/6.3 inch iPhone models like the iPhone 15/16/17 series. I’ve consistently made less typos on the 4.7 inch iPhone than a 6.1 inch modern iPhone. Something about the new keyboard feels off and doesn’t seem to always hit right. This might be some sort of design issue. Here’s also the weirdest part. The iPhone 11 which is a 6.1 inch iPhone ACTUALLY feels nice to type on and I’ve also made very few typos on that model. There’s something up with the modern iPhone keyboards, lmfao.
Anyways, using the 2022 iPhone SE has been great with one hand use. Reachability, where you swipe on the home button in any direction twice always works. The Camera is fine although it is overprocessed and worse than the 2020 iPhone SE which had the best photos I’ve ever seen.
The battery is decent and it can be fast charged up to 15 Watts maximum with a 18 Watt Apple USB-C charger or of a higher wattage. So if you’re running low, charge it with a fast charger and you’ll get about 30-50% in about 20-35 mins.
Finally, it’s a great iPhone to keep things simple. Sometimes less is good. New iPhones have insane battery life but it’s also a demerit. You’ll be scrolling endlessly and wasting time on social media way too often. With the 2022 iPhone SE (and older), you’re kept in check to not waste battery on excessive usage on social media, YouTube or gaming for hours on end. Which is something really nice once in a while. This is my opinion though.
Just my two cents. 😂 How are all your iPhone SE devices holding up?
