The 2022 iteration of the best-selling Apple iPhone SE lets you enjoy several features available on the Apple iPhone 13 Series for a lot less!

Three of the most notable ones would have to be ultra-fast 5G connectivity support, the powerful Apple A15 Bionic chipset, as well as stellar imaging and video recording capabilities.

Available in three colors – namely, Red, Black, and Red – and three storage options – 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB, Apple iPhone SE 5G 2022 dons an official price tag starting at only PHP 28,990.

The relatively low suggested retail prices of this model compared to any of the Apple iPhone 13 handsets – which start at PHP 44,990 (Apple iPhone 13 Mini 128GB) on retail – make the Apple iPhone SE 5G 2022 a great option for budget-conscious mobile consumers who want to stay or jump on the Apple mobile ecosystem.

According to Ms. Kaiann Drance – Apple’s Vice President of Worldwide iPhone Product Marketing, “iPhone SE has been an incredibly popular choice with our existing users and for new iPhone customers, thanks to its iconic design, exceptional performance, and affordable price. This year we’ve built the most powerful and durable iPhone SE yet, with better battery life thanks to A15 Bionic, the same chip as our iPhone 13 lineup that also unlocks advanced camera features like Smart HDR 4, Photographic Styles, and Deep Fusion.”

“With 5G, iPhone SE gives users faster downloads and uploads, higher quality video streaming, real-time interactivity in apps, and much more. Delivering the latest generation of technology and performance at this price is something only Apple can do,” she added.

Flaunting a 4.7-inch HD+ Retina IPS display and clad in IP67 Dust and Resistant glass-metal-glass enclosure, the Apple iPhone SE 5G 2022 is powered by the 5nm Hexa-Core Apple A15 Bionic – which Apple claims to be the most powerful mobile device processor to date – that delivers incredible computational photography benefits, smooth gaming and overall mobile performance, and stellar battery life.

Apple iPhone SE 5G 2022 will be officially released in Japan, China, India, France, Germany, Australia, Canada, the UK, the US, and more than 30 other countries on March 18, 2022. No word yet from Apple’s official network carriers and authorized retail partners on this model’s launch date in the Philippines — but I’m guessing it shouldn’t take too long for it to land here. Stay tuned for updates!
