Apple unveiled the third-generation iPhone SE alongside the new iPad Air and Mac Studio at an event back in March 2022. While it might not look any different on the surface, it boasts key upgrades including the A15 Bionic, 5G connectivity and much-improved battery life.
Here’s all you need to know about buying the budget-focused iPhone SE 3 in the US and UK right now.
How much does the iPhone SE 3 cost?
The iPhone SE has always been Apple’s budget-friendly iPhone, and that hasn’t changed with the third-gen model – but the price has slightly increased compared to its predecessor. The iPhone SE 3 starts at $429, up from the $399 of the second-gen model.
The iPhone SE initially cost £419 in the UK, but following a price hike in October 2022, the budget iPhone now starts at an increased £449.
Of course, there are also different storage options – 64GB, 128GB and 256GB this time around – to take into consideration. The more storage you want, the more you’ll need to pay.
Here’s how much the new iPhone SE range costs:
- 64GB: $429 / £449
- 128GB: $479 / £499
- 256GB: $579 / £609
For context, even with a slight price increase, the iPhone SE is still $370/£350 cheaper than the flagship iPhone 14 while offering a high-end A15 Bionic chipset and 5G connectivity at its heart.
