Apple’s recently released iPhone SE (2022) isn’t very different from its predecessor. That said the new instalment offers a few notable hardware improvements, including an iPhone 13-like glass back and Apple’s A15 Bionic chipset.
While Apple says that the 3rd-gen iPhone SE features better battery life, we didn’t know for sure how much bigger the battery is. Now, courtesy of PBKreviews, we know that the new iPhone SE features a 2,018 mAh battery, 10.81 percent bigger than the iPhone SE (2020)’s 1,821 mAh battery.

Apple’s website says that the 2022 SE offers up to two hours more video playback than the 2020-released iPhone SE.
Apart from the battery, PBKreviews‘ video dives deep into the iPhone SE (2022) internals and its repairability, giving it a 5.5/10 repairability score, owing mainly to the inability to interchange parts between the 2020 and 2022 devices.
iFixit should be out with its teardown of the new device in a couple of days, and we’ll likely see a few more differences between the two generations of iPhone SE smarpthone.
