In 2016, Apple released a cost-effective mid-range machine, the iPhone SE. This is the first generation, equipped with the same processor A9 as iPhone6S. The body is the same as iPhone5S, and even the material is exactly the same. After this phone was released, it was well received. It was not until four years later that Apple launched the second iPhone SE, equipped with an A13 processor. This year, it released the A15 processor and iPhone SE3 that supports 5G. So how big is the performance gap between these three generations of iPhone SE? Now let’s do a test on the running speed and see what the result is? #iPhone#
In testing, all three iPhoneSE models were upgraded to the iOS15 operating system. In the system software test, it can be seen that the first-generation iPhone SE released 6 years ago is obviously relatively slow. Even when running system software such as weather, you can still see that the loading speed lags far behind. Although iPhoneSE2 and iPhoneSE3 are 2 years apart, you can see that the running speeds are almost the same.
This time the system software test includes weather, map, camera, photo album, AppStore, etc. Especially when the AppStore is opened, the gap is particularly obvious. No wonder Apple will phase out the first-generation iPhone SE this year and will not allow upgrades to iOS16.
The next step is to test third-party application software, with performance requirements ranging from small to large. The first is to open several social software. Although the performance requirements are small, the first-generation iPhone SE is still lagging behind. The second-generation and third-generation iPhone SE run almost at the same speed. So the gap is more obvious in which software is running? When iPhoneSE2 and iPhoneSE3 run large-scale 3D games, especially PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Asphalt, you can see a difference in the image rendering speed of the GPU unit. The A15 processor of iPhoneSE3 is faster, while the A13 processor lags behind. , but actually not far behind.
However, in another test, the speeds of the three iPhoneSE models were almost identical. That is the fingerprint unlocking function. After using the fingerprint to unlock the Home button, you can see that the performance of the three generations of models is very good. It can also be seen from this point that the unlocking parts of iPhone SE3 have not been upgraded.
Summary: Compared with iPhoneSE2 and iPhoneSE3, iPhoneSE should actually be eliminated. The A9 processor is also a chip from 7 years ago, and its running speed cannot keep up with demand. Although iPhone SE2 is a product from 2 years ago, it does not have 5G and the performance of the A13 chip is still good. The most worth mentioning is the iPhone SE3. The initial price is only 200 yuan more than the second-generation iPhone SE2. However, it supports 5G network and is equipped with an A15 processor. Both performance and signal meet the current use needs, and it is still worth buying.
