Perhaps its you who is not "techie enough" to know Apple calls it the Ultra Wideband Chip in iPhone specifications. And an iPhone SE 3rd generation does NOT include such a chip. And Phil, who has been helping people on this forum for years, with more than 151,000 points is well versed and completely correct in what he posted.

The Ultra Wideband chip IS listed in the 13 Pro Models.


See this comparison --> https://www.apple.com/iphone/compare/?modelList=iphone13promax,iphone13pro,iphoneSE3rdgen


Check Cellular and Wireless specifications and you'll see it listed for 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max but NOT iPhone SE 3.


You need to recognize iPhone SE 3 is the least expensive iPhone model and as such it will not have the same features as the top models. If this is a feature you want, then you need to buy a higher level model.

The technical specs for iPhone SE 3 are up at Apple.com. And the comparison of the models I linked is accurate. And you are incorrect in your assessment the Ultrawide Band is referring to the cameras. There is indeed an Ultrawide camera lens on appropriate iPhone 13 models. The Ultra Wide with Spatial is completely different and is NOT included in iPhone SE 3.


You clearly did not check the specification difference between iPhone 13 Pro/13 Pro Max listed in Cellular and Wireless.

I just had a look. It's kinda disappointing. I would pay extra for the U1 chip in the classic iPhone form factor. I don't need two or three cameras, one is fine. I love the airtags, but their use is limited without the U1 chip. It's ironic that they advertise the airtag on the same page as the iphone SE under "deck it out". When my iphone 8 dies, I'll have to weigh up the benefits of trading the fingerprint reader for a U1 chip it seems. My wife has the second generation iPhone SE and she is happy with it though.
