help iPhone SE (2nd Gen) FAQ

Does the iPhone SE 2nd Generation support 5G cellular networks?

No, the iPhone SE 2nd Generation only supports 4G LTE networks, as it relies on older cellular modem technology. You would need to upgrade to the iPhone SE 3rd Generation, released in 2022, to access 5G connectivity.

Is the camera on the iPhone SE 2nd Gen the same as the iPhone 11?

While the SE 2nd Gen uses the A13 Bionic chip from the iPhone 11 family, it only has a single-lens 12MP rear camera. It lacks the Night Mode and ultra-wide lenses found on the iPhone 11, though it does support Portrait Mode.

Does the iPhone SE 2nd Gen have a physical home button with Touch ID?

Yes, the defining feature of the SE line is the physical home button at the bottom of the 4.7-inch display. It utilizes Apple's first-generation Touch ID fingerprint sensor rather than the Face ID facial recognition found on flagship iPhones.

Will the iPhone SE 2nd Generation get iOS updates in the near future?

Because it shares the powerful A13 Bionic chip with the iPhone 11, the SE 2nd Gen remains highly capable and is expected to receive iOS updates for several more years. It was fully supported through the major iOS 17 release.
