Apple recently launched the third generation of the “iPhone SE” smartphone, which came in an unusual combination, as it combines the fastest advanced “Apple” A15 Bionic processors - also available in the iPhone 13 The current - and the old design that is almost no different from the "iPhone 6" phone from 2016.

By providing this amount of performance in this category of devices, the American company seeks to provide future security for the user.

Apple usually updates its mobile devices with iOS for 5 years, so the iPhone SE will be supported by Apple until 2027.

Fifth generation technology

The wireless technologies supported by the new Apple phone indicate the future direction of the American company, as it supports the fifth generation technology for communications, although the antenna appears to be somewhat smaller than the iPhone 13.

The differences between the “iPhone SE” and the current iPhone 13 are evident in the screen equipment, as the first model relies on a 4.7-inch LCD screen that is not as bright or rich in contrast as the screens based on “OLED” technology (OLED) in the second. However, the battery life of the two phones is the same.

Shortcomings

The camera is one of the most prominent shortcomings of the iPhone SE, although the American company is promoting its new device by relying on a “completely new camera system”, but this indicates only the new software that can take advantage of the superior performance of the main processor. A15 Bionic, and there has been no update to the lens and sensor with a precision of 12 megapixels.

The user can take good pictures when shooting in the sunlight, but with sunset and darkening the camera defects appear compared to the iPhone 12 and 13;

Since the "iPhone SE" does not include the night mode available in the luxury models, the differences also appear when you want to zoom in on distant shooting subjects, as images lose a lot of detail when digital zoom is turned on.

Apple adopted a similar strategy with the launch of the iPad tablets, as it provided superior performance to the iPad Air by equipping it with the M1 processor, but with shortcomings in other aspects.

In terms of design aspects, the tablet computer is characterized by a large, angled body and a modern, modern design.

There are almost no differences between the smallest model of the iPad Pro (11 inches) and the iPad Air model (10.9), as the screen looks a bit smaller, as well as the availability of plenty of colors;

The iPad Air colors are not limited to gray and pink, but also purple and blue.

Economy in the camera

Similar to the “iPhone SE” smartphone, Apple has economized on the camera, as the user has to be satisfied with a wide-angle camera only, which is sufficient for the user’s requirements for photography or document shooting, but the “iPad Air” device cannot be compared to the “iPad Pro” When it comes to editing photos and videos, the same processor that supports the fifth generation of mobile telephony technology beats inside the iPad Air tablet.

The American company has improved the selfie camera in the iPad Air, where it currently works with a resolution of 12 megapixels instead of 7 in the previous model, in addition to supporting the Center Stage function, which keeps the user in the center of the image automatically when making calls. the video.

In terms of performance, the “iPad Air” is closer to the “iPad Pro” than to the basic model that bears the name “iPad”, and if the user wants to get a simple tablet computer, he can rely on the basic model “iPad”, although the “iPad” Air has a better screen and a newer design, and the iPad Air is looking forward to the future by relying on the M1 processor.

And if the user wants to store a lot of photos and videos, he should consider the storage capacity of 64 or 256 GB, and it cannot be increased more than that.
