Overview
The iPhone SE 2022 is a lower mid-range phone from Apple, with an unverified reference price of about JOD 185 (about $260) — an estimate, not a confirmed market price. Below is its full spec sheet with a plain-language breakdown, pros and cons, and how it compares to its rivals. We have not tested this phone ourselves; everything here is derived from published specifications.
Its main highlights: its practical balance of price and specs. Its chipset is mid-tier (66/100 on our spec-based index) — the usual class for social media, video, photos and light games.
Performance-index rank: #25 of 46 Apple phones we list.
Why consider it?
The cheapest way into iOS in our catalogue, and the smallest body in it: 4.7 inches, 144 grams, and Touch ID in a home button. The A15 Bionic chip is the only reason a body this old is still on Apple's supported list.
Who it suits
Someone who wants an iPhone running current iOS for the least money, prefers a phone they can work one-handed and unlock with a fingerprint rather than their face, and expects nothing more than a single camera.
Who should look elsewhere
Anyone who watches video for hours, wants a large high-resolution screen, shoots ultra-wide, or needs storage beyond the 64GB entry configuration.
Performance, camera, display and battery — and the limits of the evidence
The SE 2022 answers exactly one question: what is the least money that buys an iPhone still receiving updates? We have not tested it, and the figures below come from Apple's page for the "iPhone SE (3rd generation)", which is the official name of the phone we list as SE 2022.
The whole idea is a modern chip in an old body. Apple specifies an A15 Bionic with a 6-core CPU, a 4-core GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine — the same generation that powered the iPhone 13. The result is that a home-button design is still inside the update list: Apple's newest published iOS release (26.6.2, 8 September 2026) is listed for "iPhone 11 and later".
The price of that is written on Apple's own page. The panel is a 4.7-inch LCD at 1334x750 and 326 ppi rated 625 nits, the only non-OLED display in this round. The rear camera is a single 12MP f/1.8 unit with optical stabilisation and digital zoom to 5x; the front camera is 7MP at f/2.2. Water resistance is IP67 to one metre for 30 minutes, a step below the IP68 of the other three, and wireless charging is Qi only — Apple does not mention MagSafe on this page.
Our catalogue carries 4GB of RAM, 2018mAh and 20W for this model. Apple publishes none of them, so we lean on its published runtime instead: 15 hours of video, 10 streamed, 50 hours of audio. One last practical point: the base configuration is 64GB, and Apple itself notes that the operating system and preinstalled apps take roughly 12GB to 17GB — close to a quarter of the space is spoken for before you take a single photo. Our ≈ 185 is an unverified estimate.
Alternatives worth comparing
- Galaxy S22 — At exactly the same money (≈ 185), our catalogue lists the Galaxy S22 with a 6.1-inch 120Hz screen and a 50+12+10 triple camera — a relatively compact body with far more lenses. It is a 2022 Android phone with a listed 3700mAh cell, though, so it does not solve the battery problem either. (185 JOD · estimate) full comparison ›
- Poco F5 — Also at ≈ 185, our data gives the Poco F5 a 6.67-inch 120Hz screen, a listed 5000mAh battery and a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2. It is the exact inverse of the SE: everything the SE gives up in screen and endurance, in exchange for giving up iOS and its update record. (185 JOD · estimate) full comparison ›
Strengths and trade-offs in detail ›
Verdict — conditional on your needs and the documented price above
If the question is "what is the cheapest iPhone I can still use one-handed and still get updates on", the SE 2022 answers it directly at ≈ 185, and it stays supported for as long as Apple's list reads "iPhone 11 and later". If the use is watching and shooting, every alternative at the same money in our catalogue gives more screen and more lenses — and the limit we cannot argue away is that our own price is an unverified estimate, not a quoted shop price.

Phones JO index (spec-based)
What does that mean in plain words?
Chipset: Apple A15 Bionic — mid tier (66/100) for social media, video and light-to-medium games.
Battery: 2,018 mAh — a relatively small capacity by market standards. Capacity is an indicator, not a measurement: real endurance depends on the display, chipset and your usage, and we have not measured it.
Charging: 20W — standard (rated charging power; actual charge time varies with the charger and temperature).
Display: LCD HD+, 4.7-inch — an LCD panel; lower contrast than OLED, and the norm at this price.
Camera: 12 MP (1 lens) plus a 7 MP front camera. Megapixels and lens count describe the setup, not image quality — real results depend on the sensor and processing, which we have not tested.

Pros & cons
Pros
- The A15 Bionic — the same generation Apple put in the 13 mini and 14 Plus — is what keeps this phone inside the "iPhone 11 and later" range Apple lists for its newest published iOS release (26.6.2, 8 September 2026).
- The smallest and lightest device in this round: 4.7 inches, 144 grams, 7.3mm thick, with Touch ID built into the home button instead of face recognition.
- It supports 5G NR and takes two lines (nano-SIM plus eSIM), and Apple rates it for "up to 50% charge in 30 minutes with 20W adapter or higher" — all at ≈ 185, the lowest entry point to iOS in our catalogue.
Cons
- The shortest runtime Apple publishes among the four models in this round: up to 15 hours of video, 10 hours streamed and 50 hours of audio, against 17, 20 and 26 video hours for the others.
- A single 12MP f/1.8 rear camera with no ultra-wide and no optical zoom at all (zoom is digital, to 5x), plus a 7MP front camera.
- A 4.7-inch LCD at 1334x750 and 326 ppi rated 625 nits, an IP67 rating to one metre rather than IP68, and Qi wireless charging only — Apple lists no MagSafe here.
