We’ve rounded up where you can get your hands on Apple’s latest iPhone SE in the UK
Apple’s upgraded iPhone SE 2022, or iPhone SE 3 as some are calling it, has been officially unveiled, bringing with it a host of upgrades including 5G, a faster processor (the same A15 chip as the iPhone 13), improved camera system and better battery life. It also retains the Home button and Touch ID for fans of those features.
Yes you can buy the new model direct from Apple, but a number of other reputable UK retailers and mobile networks have confirmed they’ll also be stocking the device, giving you options to spread the cost and buy it with or without bundles minutes, texts and data on a contract.
Here’s where you can pre-order the new iPhone SE 5G.
Apple Direct
The obvious choice for many, especially die-hard Apple fans who love the complete Apple Store experience. The phone can be bought outright or you can spread the cost. The thing to note here is that you’ll definitely be paying full RRP price – discounting rarely happens at Apple direct, unless you’re a student.
Argos
Good old Argos. The perfect blend of online and physical store shopping. Order online and get it delivered or pop into one of their stores (many of which can now be found in branches of Sainsburys). You can buy the iPhone SE 5G here SIM free and then insert your own SIM card (or grab a new SIM only deal if you need one or are out of contract).
