iPhone SE 2022: How to tell SE2 and SE3 apart without opening the device?

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 14:58:04 -0700

Are there any exterior differences between the two for quick identification? I work at a repair shop and people never know what phones they have, so quick identification of models is extremely useful.

iPhone SE 2022: iPhone SE 2022 BMS replacement

Tue, 07 May 2024 08:13:35 -0700

Hi guys,

I try to look for info about BMS replacement on iPhone SE 2022. Is it encrypted? Or can the info on the BMS be modified directly without flex on tag? I kinda can’t find any info about this model whatsoever. I know that the bms is encrypted since iPhone 11 but I can’t find exact info on iPhone SE 2022 which has A15 so it should be encrypted by my assumption but if so, than I can’t find flex on tag for the bms for this exact model. Does it need one? Or it needs the same as some other iPhone? Or it isn’t encrypted on this model?

Thank you all for your help 🙏

iPhone SE 2022: Can I swap an iPhone SE3's rear casing with an iPhone 8 one?

Wed, 01 Oct 2025 10:09:21 -0700

I have an iPhone SE3 (the 2022 one) and I hate this kind of stupid "midnight blue" color that Apple came up. It looks a bit disgusting. I want to have an iPhone SE 2022 with a pure grey color like the iPhone 8, but I'm not sure whether the rear casing of an iPhone 8 is interchangeable with the SE3.

I think it's identical, since I compared the repair guide pics and couldn't find any obvious structural differences. However, I can't seem to get a picture of a bare casing, so I'm not really sure. Can Anyone confirm this? If not, what do I need to mod to make it fit?

Also, do wireless charging work if the coils are separated by carbon fiber? I found this cool carbon fiber replacement for the glass on the back of the SE3, and I'd like to know whether wireless charging would be affected if I install it.

Any bit of help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

iPhone SE 2022: Why is battery health so low

Mon, 10 Jun 2024 08:18:39 -0700

I have had my iPhone SE 3 for like 6 months and the battery health is at 90%. Should I ask for a new phone or is this like normal? Should I just buy a new battery? It barley lasts me through school.

iPhone SE 2022: If I put another screen on, is Touch ID lost irreversibly?

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 14:35:47 -0700

I'm trying to repair an iPhone SE 2022.

I had two screens with me and I put the wrong one on the iPhone. Then I put the original one back on it.

Did my iPhone lose touch ID irreversibly when I put the wrong screen on?

Or does it keep your original touch ID data on the logic board?

iPhone SE 2022: Use Components and Body of SE2020 and just swap out Logicboard?

Wed, 23 Apr 2025 14:53:00 -0700

Hey,
im thinking of replacing the logicboard of my SE2020 inside its original case with a Logicboard of the SE2022. I would also swap in the original 2022 homebutton for touch id, a new se2022 battery and the speaker, since these 2 parts beside the homebutton are crucial for the fix. am i missing something here or will this most likely work just fine?
I heared that the taptic engine might function weak if not paired with its OG logicboard and the truetone function gets lost due to not paired display, but i dont mind missing those functions.
im just unsure if everything else works just fine. Some videos seems promising. Maybe someone knows something these videos and i dont know? if so please let me know :)

I heard if you change a part iPhone will ask you for an iCloud from the iPhone that the part is from. Is it true? Does it still work?

iPhone SE 2022: Mint iPhone screen showing display glitches hours after replacement

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 03:18:37 -0700

So I replaced the screen of an iPhone SE 2022, and initial testing showed no issues. However, the day after repair, the screen started glitching out (only showing garbled top lines, fading into colored bars, unresponsive, etc.) and only got worse.

I tried ordering another screen and replacing again, exact same issue. What’s going on? Is this a logic board fault? Or was I unlucky with screen repairs?
