Apple iPhone SE (2022) was released earlier this month on March 8. The third-generation iPhone SE smartphone is pretty much indistinguishable from the second-generation release. Now, a teardown video has surfaced on YouTube that showcases the differences between the two generations. The iPhone SE (2022) is said to house a larger 2,018mAh battery in comparison to the 1,821mAh battery of the iPhone SE (2020). In addition, the iPhone SE (2022) is said to be fitted with a custom-made Qualcomm Snapdragon X57 modem for 5G connectivity.

The teardown video was recently shared on YouTube by the PBKreviews channel. As previously mentioned, the iPhone SE (2022) packs a 2,018mAh battery which is claimed to provide up to two hours of additional playback and up to an extra 10 hours of audio playback in comparison to the second-generation handset. The two batteries are approximately the same size, but the teardown video suggests that Apple has slightly tweaked the connectors with the new release to prevent backwards compatibility.
