The new iPhone SE has 3GB of RAM and an 1821 mAH battery
What you need to know
- Apple released a new iPhone yesterday.
- A Chinese reseller website has revealed a couple of specs not mentioned by Apple.
- It seems the iPhone SE has 3GB of RAM and an 1821 mAH battery.
Yesterday, Apple announced its brand new iPhone SE featuring a classic iPhone 8-esque design, updated internals, and a consumer-friendly $399 price point.
There were, however, as always, a couple of specs not listed by Apple that are important to buyers. As reported by 9to5Mac, the website listing of the new iPhone SE seems to have revealed the new iPhone's RAM and its battery:
Now, the spec sheet also states that the new iPhone SE has a headphone jack, so clearly these aren't bulletproof. However, 3GB of RAM was the long-rumored size for the new iPhone's memory, and the 1821 mAH battery matches the iPhone 8 specs, so these seem pretty legit!
Apple's website states that the iPhone SE's battery "lasts about the same as iPhone 8". Specifically, up to 13 hours of video playback, or 8 hours if you're streaming, and up to 40 hours of audio playback. More interestingly, it's fast charge capable, which means you can charge the battery up to 50% in just 30 minutes with an 18W adapter (sold separately).
Our pick
Packs a punch on a budget.
The iPhone SE combines the form factor of the iPhone 8 with the internals of the iPhone 11 at an affordable price, offering a phone with power and longevity for less.
