While Apple has always claimed that the iPhone SE is a “special edition” for those who prefer small phones, it has always been very clear that this phone is designed to be a more affordable iPhone for those who don’t need everything that a high-end smartphone has.

This phone was introduced when Apple had zero iPhones with a “borderless” design, and the biggest iPhone you could get back then had a 5.5-inch 1080p display, so keep that in mind. I won’t discuss the iPhone SE design here since the point of this article is to discuss how it performs with iOS 15.

So how is the first-generation iPhone SE six years later? First-gen iPhone SE and iOS 15 It features the same design and four-inch display as the iPhone 5s, but with the same A9 chip and 12 Megapixel 4K camera as the iPhone 6s.īy comparison, the first iPhone SE was priced at $399 in the US, while the Galaxy S6 was launched at $599. For those who don’t remember, the first iPhone SE was introduced in early 2016 as a cheaper alternative to high-end iPhones. I don’t have an iPhone 6s, but I do have a first-generation iPhone SE. Some may argue that although iPhone 6s will still receive iOS updates, their performance will be compromised by the latest software – so I wanted to see for myself if these old phones are still usable in 2022. Both flagship phones were introduced in 2015, but while iPhone 6s came with iOS 9 and runs iOS 15, Galaxy S6 was released with Android 5 and was completely discontinued two updates later with Android 7. I decided to write this article after seeing a tweet comparing the iPhone 6s with the Samsung Galaxy S6. But how decent are these old iPhones running the latest version of iOS? Well, I tested a first-generation iPhone SE with iOS 15, and it’s still surprisingly good. At the same time, the older iPhone models are still there receiving iOS updates, which is great for people who don’t upgrade their phones every year. Every year, a new iPhone is released with better cameras and faster processor.
