The iPhone SE 2022 puts a recent-generation Apple processor into the old Home-button body. It is small, uses Touch ID rather than Face ID, has a 4.7-inch LCD screen and one rear camera, and it is the cheapest route to a chip this current with 5G alongside it.

Modern speed, older design

Performance is the point of this phone. It is quicker than several larger and more expensive used iPhones on this site, because the silicon inside is years newer than the shell around it. What you give up is screen size, an ultra-wide or telephoto lens, and the edge-to-edge look. If you prefer a fingerprint sensor and a phone that sits in one hand, that is an easy trade to make.

The longest runway here

Of the models on this page, the SE 2022 has the most software life ahead of it. Apple typically ships feature updates for roughly five to seven years from release and this is the newest phone we list in this group, so it should keep receiving them well after the others have stopped. That makes it the safest choice if you intend to keep a phone for a long time.
