Apple iPhone SE (3rd Gen)

Making phone calls, sending messages, surfing the internet - for most people, everyday life is hardly conceivable without a smartphone. It is therefore all the more important to be able to rely on the devices. The Stiftung Warentest smartphone test answers the question of which model is the test winner and which ones lack stability or basic functions...

The sensible iPhone. There are trade-offs in display technology, size and camera, but in terms of performance and connectivity, the SE is on a par with the iPhone 13.

In its current edition, the iPhone SE is losing its status as the clear price tip among iPhones. On the one hand, Apple has raised the price of the SE, on the other hand, the 12 mini, which has been available for one and a half years but is better equipped, is hardly more expensive...

The iPhone SE is a successful upgrade for trend-avoiders who love the classic design of the iPhone 8 with home button: The processor is blazingly fast, making the SE future-proof together with 5G. The tiny screen is weak, but the camera and battery offer decent performance. But if you're looking for an affordable and handy iPhone, you should go for the 12 mini with OLED and a better camera.
