How to preorder Apple's iPhone SE 3 (2022) and get the best deal

The new 2022 iPhone SE is on the horizon, and you can preorder it right now with these wireless carrier deals.

The latest iteration of the fan-favorite phone comes with a variety of fantastic features that make it feel like the most luxe version of the device yet. That includes support for 5G connectivity, Apple's A15 Bionic chip, improved battery life, and a slew of additional features that will undoubtedly make it one of the best entry-level iPhones or upgrade-worthy iOS devices yet.

Apple lined out the colors, configurations, and prices for each of its new iPhone SE models at the same time it announced the addition to the lineup on March 8. But while Apple made the phone's flat pricing obvious during the "Peek Performance" Apple Event, the company did not specify wireless carrier deals.

Now that the iPhone SE (2022) is on sale, it'll likely start flying off the shelves. It's a good idea to lock in your preorder early if you want to make one yours. Luckily, carriers and other retailers have already announced the deals they're promoting for the new phone, and we've lined them out for you here.

Apple iPhone SE (2022) preorders

When you purchase a new phone from a typical carrier, you'll usually run into terms and conditions that must be met, contracts to sign, and more to keep in mind when you purchase a particular plan. You can also run into trade-in deals if you want to replace your current phone with an upgrade, and that's where you might find the biggest discrepancy between brands.
