Old vs. New: How Much Has the iPhone SE Changed?
You could hardly avoid it last week. Apple presented a new phone, tablet and several other products. The new iPhone SE succeeds the model from 2020 and has been significantly improved, especially under the hood.
The outside has not been tinkered with. The iPhone SE of 2022 is therefore still just as compact as its predecessor. The device can be ordered since yesterday and the first models will be delivered next Friday. In the article below, the device contrasts with its predecessor.
These are the innovations of the iPhone SE 2022
New iPad Air can also be ordered from now on
On to the tablet. Since yesterday you can also order the new iPad Air. The 2022 model has received a new processor as the main improvement. The M1 chip is faster than all the competition and is also in the MacBook Air and iPad Pro from 2021, for example.
Furthermore, the iPad Air 2022 has support for 5G. So you can surf the internet at lightning speed, watch movies or even play online games while on the go. The improved selfie camera is also handy. This comes in handy during video calling.

Lost count? Apple announced all this last week
Apple also announced the Mac Studio. This desktop computer is best described as a Mac mini on steroids. For example, it is powered by the powerful M1 Max or (new) M1 Ultra chip.
Also new: the Studio Display. This new computer screen measures 27 inches and has a resolution of 5K. The screen contains an A13 Bionic chip, which we know from the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, to keep things running. Speaking of phones, a green version of the iPhone 13 (mini) is also coming.
These are all Apple announcements at a glance
Where can you buy the HomePod mini?
We had to wait a long time for it, but Apple secretly announced last week that the HomePod mini is coming to the Netherlands. The brother of the HomePod has been available abroad since the end of 2020.
The HomePod mini will be available in the Netherlands at the end of March. Unofficially, you could buy the compact speaker for some time. It was in stores in France and Germany. The HomePod mini will cost 109 euros here.

The next update for iPhones will be released next week. Apple confirmed that iOS 15.4 is almost here, but did not give an official date. Usually new software versions appear at the beginning of the week.
iOS 15.4 will be available for all iPhones that can currently run iOS 15. The biggest change is that from now on you can unlock an iPhone (with Face ID) while wearing a mouth mask.
