What size is the iPhone SE equivalent to?

Considering the difference in screen size, the dimensions of the two devices are more similar than you might expect: iPhone SE (2022, 3rd gen): 5.45in x 2.65in x 029in or 138.4mm x 67.3mm x 7.3mm. 5.09oz or 144g. iPhone 13: 5.78in x 2.82in x 0.30in or 146.7mm x 71.5mm x 7.65mm; 6.10ox or 173g.

Is the iPhone SE the same size as the 11?

The first and probably most notable difference is just in the size of these two: the iPhone SE with its 4.7-inch screen looks tiny in comparison to the bigger, thicker and overall bulkier iPhone 11 with its 6.1-inch display.

Is the iPhone SE the same size as any other phone?

The dimensions of iPhone SE 2020 and iPhone 8 are exactly the same.

Which iPhone is the SE similar to?

Apple's $399 iPhone SE, released in 2020, looks like an iPhone 8 but works like Apple's newer iPhone 11 Pro. Note that Apple no longer sells this model and most models you'll find online are preowned or refurbished. Here's how the specs for the new 2022 iPhone SE compare to those of the previous iPhone SE.
