The first teardowns of the third generation iPhone SE have appeared on YouTube, providing a glimpse of the components inside the device.
The teardowns show that the new iPhone SE has a larger battery at 2,018 mAh, compared to 1,821 mAh in the previous model. According to Apple's specs, the new iPhone SE offers up to two hours more video playback and up to 10 hours more audio playback on a full charge than the previous model. Loud According to Nikkei's xTECH, the new iPhone SE is also equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon X57 modem. This modem does not seem to be listed on Qualcomm's website, so it could be a model specially developed for Apple - further details are not known.
iPhone SE 3 has 4 GB of RAM
The modem enables 5G on the iPhone SE, with support limited to sub-6GHz bands while the iPhone 13 models in the US also support the faster mmWave bands. A few weeks ago, it was confirmed that the new iPhone SE comes with 4GB of RAM, up from 3GB in the previous model. Overall, the third-generation iPhone SE appears to have a very similar internal design to the second-generation model. Repair website iFixit will likely publish a comprehensive teardown of the device in the next few days to take a closer look. (Image: Apple)
