One of the novelties of the new iPhone SE from 2022announced during Apple’s ‘Peek Performance’ event, is the improvement in autonomy compared to its predecessor. According to the companythe new A15 Bionic chip and its efficiency, as well as iOS 15, allow us to offer up to two more hours of video playback than the model announced in 2020. Battery life, however, varies depending on usage. In other scenarios, such as when playing streaming content, the difference may not be as noticeable not only compared to the second generation iPhone SE, but also compared to other models with similar specifications, such as the iPhone 8 or even the iPhone SE. the iPhone 12 mini and 13 mini.
Apple does not usually share technical data on the battery capacity of its models, but it does share the duration of the battery depending on different situations. Among them, the hours obtained during video playback both offline and online, or audio playback. The iPhone SE 2022, in particular, gets up to 15 hours of video playback, 10 hours of streaming video viewing And till 50 hours of audio playback. All this, with a 4.7-inch LCD screen and HD resolution, an A15 Bionic chip and iOS 15.
However, What differences are there between the autonomy of this third generation iPhone and those Apple smartphones that share specifications? We have compared the battery life of the new budget model against the iPhone SE 2020, the iPhone 13 mini, 12 mini and the already discontinued iPhone 8, which shares both design and some of its specifications.
This improves the battery of the iPhone SE 2022 compared to its predecessor
Both the iPhone SE 2022 and its predecessor, the second generation model announced in 2020, have the same design, screen, camera configuration and, although Apple has not confirmed it, the same battery capacity. The main difference is in the processor. The new version arrives with an A15 Bionic chip, a SoC that gives the terminal compatibility with 5G networks and is also more powerful and efficient than other company chips. The iPhone SE 2020, on the other hand, includes a A13 Bionic chip with 4G networks.
Although the iPhone SE 3 can consume more autonomy due to the fact that it has support for 5G networks and some additional features in the camera section, its duration is considerably better compared to the model of two years ago. Specific, get two more hours of video playback and streaming and up to 10 more hours of audio playback.
both, yes, are compatible with fast charging if a 20W adapter is used. This can supply 50% of the battery in about 30 minutes. They are also compatible with wireless charging.
The battery of the new iPhone SE compared to other Apple smartphones
iPhone SE 2022 | iPhone SE 2020 | iPhone 13mini | iPhone 12mini | iPhone 8 | |
Ability | 1821mAh (to be confirmed) | 1821mAh | 2438mAh | 2227mAh | 1821mAh |
video playback | up to 15 hours | up to 13 hours | Up to 17 hours | up to 15 hours | up to 13 hours |
Streaming video playback | up to 10 hours | up to 8 hours | up to 13 hours | up to 10 hours | (Apple does not detail) |
audio playback | up to 50 hours | up to 40 hours | up to 55 hours | up to 50 hours | up to 40 hours |
The results that Apple has obtained in its tests against the rest of the models in its catalog are very interesting. The 2022 iPhone SE, for example, tIt has exactly the same battery life as the iPhone 12 mini. Specifically, they get 15 hours of video playback, 10 hours of streaming and 50 hours of audio. The iPhone 12 mini, however, has a more efficient screen, since it includes OLED technology, as well as a larger battery (2,227 mAh). However, it does not have the A15 Bionic chip, which seems to increase the duration considerably.
In fact, the iPhone SE 2022 It does not reach the duration that can be obtained with the iPhone 13 mini. And it is that this model, in addition to having a more efficient screen and a larger battery, also includes the A15 Bionic chip. Specifically, the iPhone 13 mini gets up to 2 more hours of video playback, 3 more hours of streaming video and 5 more hours of audio playback.
Compared to the iPhone 8 there are also very interesting differences. Both smartphones have the same screen and a 1821 mAh battery. The results in all three scenarios, however, are quite remarkable. As for video playback, andhe iPhone SE 3 can get up to two hours more than the iPhone 8. In audio, on the other hand, the difference it is up to 10 hours more for the new Apple model.
