    iPhone SE (2022) Iphone SE 2022 slow with ios 18?

    Opening and closing apps & texting doesn't feel as snappy, also scrolling and interacting in apps also feels sluggish. Has anyone else felt this? Is it possible to buy a used iPhone SE 2022 with iOS 17 and use my iCloud backup on the device to go back to iOS 17, or am I screwed since I updated...

    iOS 18 made iPhone SE 2022 slower?!

    Opening and closing apps doesn't feel as snappy, also scrolling and interacting in apps also feels sluggish. It might be a step in the planned obsolescence from Apple, but I don't know. Is it possible to buy a used iPhone SE 2022 with iOS 17 and use my iCloud backup on the device to go back to...

    Selfie sticks, iPhone SE... and iPad Mini?

    My current equipment: iPhone SE 3 (2022) - in Spigen protective case iPad Mini 2 (possibly looking to buy a newer Mini in 2025) I have never owned, or looked at, selfie sticks / tripods. I have no idea what's out there or how much it costs. Recent tasks that I took photos for would have made a...

    iPhone SE (2022) Any antenna difference between iPhone SE 3 and iPhone 15 Pro?

    On my afternoon walk in my neighborhood I hit dead spots where my cell tower signal just drops out and the video content I'm streaming just drops. This also happens when I drive around town and it's always in the same spots. I'm guessing it's a low signal from the cell tower. I currently have...

    iPhone SE (2022) iCloud Backup Size Seems Too Small?

    Running a brand new SE 3, upgraded from SE 2. How is my iCloud backup so small even though the photo album is so large (relatively)? My last backup from the SE 2 before updating was 2.9 GB. Is this lower number due to indexing or something about having a new phone?

    Other I can not decide (iPhone SE or 13 maybe)?

    Hı my friends,for people who don't play games, using the phone to talk and text, take family and class photos/videos and use it with a Macbook, is the iPhone se 2022 enough or should the iPhone 13 be preferred? I loved the iPhone SE, but everyone is telling me to buy the 13. I have to work for...

    iPhone SE (2022) Refurbished Product Red not available

    Anyone know why the Apple Refurbished store doesn’t sell Product Red iPhones? Second random thought, why do they not sell SE 2022 iPhones in the refurbished store… where does all the returned stock go if they don’t resell in the refurbished store?

    SE2022 mute switch problems

    Having a problem with the mute switch on a 2022 SE where the physical switch 'slips' into silent mode. I couldn't find much when searching, but the closest alignment seems with this single-post thread from last September...

    iPhone SE (2022) Apple silently upgraded the modem in the iPhone SE (3rd Gen, 2022)

    When the iPhone SE was released in early 2022, it included the Qualcomm X57 (as noted here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/third-generation-iphone-se-teardown-reveals-larger-battery-capacity-and-snapdragon-x57-modem.2338891/) I just bought one– downgraded from the iPhone 14 Pro because I...

    iPhone SE (2022) SE wifi

    Does anybody else find that the wifi on the iPhone SE 2022 really sucks. I keep getting disconnects, or it won't connect at all when you're not right beside the router. I've tried several networks. And meanwhile, other devices are having no issues. My Macook and my old 6S connect solidly...

    iPhone SE (2022) - What's your standby battery life like?

    Hello my iPhone SE brethren, I wanted to see what your standby battery life is like? My iPhone battery drops about 10% overnight, even with airplane mode turned on. Likewise, if I leave the phone sitting all day, it will drop a further 10% throughout the day without even being used. I find...

    iPhone 12 Pro Calling my moms iPhone always goes straight to voicemail.

    I'm not sure if it's a settings issue, a carrier issue or something else, but calling my moms iPhone 12 always goes straight to voicemail. We tried calling her phone from the landline and it rings, but calling her iPhone from my iPhone always goes straight to voicemail. She says other people...

    Other Possible to replace face plate on iPhone SE?

    Yes, I will be asking Apple, but I wanted to ask here first to see if anyone else has tried this and had success. I use a white iPhone 8 for work. I would like to take the white faceplate from that 8 and replace the black faceplate of a new iPhone SE 2022. Has anybody done this? How? I tried...

    iPhone SE (2022) Will the iPhone SE (4) actually have a refreshed design

    I've been a bit disappointed with the removal of the mini iPhone, but the design of the current SE doesn't make sense, Sure, it appeals to a group of people who need Touch ID, but the SE design is 6 years old. And besides, Apple does at least make one external change to their phones, the 12...

    Was PWM added in iOS 16?

    I’m highly sensitive to PWM (pulse width modulation). Though PWM is mainly used in OLED screens it’s also used in LCD screens such as the recent MacBooks and iPads. The only iPhone I’ve been able to use without issue is the iPhone SE 2020. But ever since I installed iOS 16 I’ve been getting eye...

    iPhone SE (2022) iPhone SE (2022) & iPad Mini, or wait for iPhone 14?

    Hi everyone! I wanted to get your thoughts on this. I currently have an iPhone SE. It’s been pretty alright since I didn’t go out much. But lately I’ve been going out a bit more and the battery on this thing is horrible. I love how light it is, but it’s died on me a few times out in the wild...
