According to Apple, iPhone SE 2022 is up to 1.8 times faster than iPhone 8 and even faster than previous models. Present on 16-core Neural Enginecapable of performing 15,800 billion operations per second and enabling faster machine learning calculations in third-party apps and powering functions such as Active text in the Camera app with iOS 15 and the on-device dictation. Apple promises one longer battery life on the iPhone SE 2022 compared to the previous generation and older 4.7 “iPhone models, despite the compact design and the addition of 5G – all thanks to the work the A15 Bionic chip does in conjunction with the iOS 15 operating system.

The photographic compartment of the iPhone SE 2022 has, on the back, a 12MP wide angle lens with F1.8 aperturewhile on the front there is a 7MP lens. Thanks to the presence of the A15 Bionic chip, the phone supports (with both lenses) computational photography functions, including Smart HDR 4 for photos, Photo Styles, Deep Fusion and Portrait mode with advanced bokeh effect and Depth Control. Introduced with iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13technology Smart HDR 4 it uses intelligent segmentation to apply the right color, contrast and digital noise adjustments to the subjects against the background to allow the correct exposure of faces even in the most difficult lighting conditions. The Photographic styles allow you to apply your own photographic preferences to each image while still benefiting from Apple’s multi-frame processing. Custom presets and preferences act on scenes and subjects and, unlike a simple filter, intelligently apply the right adjustments to different parts of the photo to preserve the most important elements of the shot, such as different skin tones. Deep Fusion uses machine learning algorithms to process photos pixel by pixel and optimize texture, detail and digital noise in every part of the photo. The ISP processor of the A15 Bionic chip can enhance videos by reducing digital noise (especially when there is little light), with better white balance and a more realistic rendering of skin tones.
