Same body, newer chip, same question
The third-generation SE arrived in 2022. On Apple's "Identify your iPhone model" page it appears with a 4.7-inch screen, three storage sizes (64, 128 and 256 GB) and the finishes (PRODUCT)RED, Starlight and Midnight. Its tray takes a physical nano-SIM, and the IMEI is engraved into it.
The practical risk is mixing it up with the 2020 SE. Seller photos of the two look near identical. Only the model number in Settings settles it, and only the 2022 phone starts with A2595 in the United States.

What the lookups returned
Window: 12 August to 10 November 2026, one count per handset. This is one of our smaller iPhone pages by volume, so read it as a sample, not a trend.
| A2595 result | Devices | Share of 34 |
|---|---|---|
| Unknown (no lock visible to the free lookup) | 22 | 65 % |
| Locked or unlocked | each below our display floor | - |
Almost two thirds unknown is much higher than for the 2020 model, where most lookups read as locked. The reason is not that 2022 phones are freer. Our free lookup sees a lock only on T-Mobile and Metro accounts, so "unknown" mostly means no visible T-Mobile or Metro lock. Half of the 34 (17) were checked in the United States.
Before you buy a second-hand SE
- Find Model Number on the About screen. A2595 means third generation; A2275 is the 2020 phone.
- Pop out the tray and compare the engraved number with the one shown on screen.
- Look at the finish: Midnight, Starlight or (PRODUCT)RED. A phone sold as "SE 2022" in another colour does not fit Apple's list.
- Enter the IMEI above, follow with a blacklist check, and have the seller sign out of Apple Account in front of you (iCloud lock steps).
Facts about the phone come from Apple. The numbers of devices are ours, from this site's lookups only.
Questions people ask
What is the A-number of a US iPhone SE (3rd generation)?
A2595. Apple lists it for the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Mexico and Saudi Arabia. Japan is A2782, China A2785, and A2784 covers Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. A2783 is every other country and region.
How do I tell the 2022 SE from the 2020 SE?
Barely, from the front. The model number is the test: A2595 is the 2022 phone and A2275 the 2020 one. Apple names the 2022 finishes (PRODUCT)RED, Starlight and Midnight.
Where is the IMEI on the 2022 iPhone SE?
On the metal tray you pull out with a pin, according to Apple. If the tray is stuck or missing, dial *#06# or open the About page in Settings.
Is a 2022 SE usually carrier locked?
We cannot say. Of 34 A2595 phones, 22 returned unknown and the locked and unlocked groups were each under ten, so we do not print them. Unknown means the free lookup could not see a lock, not that the phone is free.
Why is my SE listed as 2016 in some databases?
Some device records label every model called "SE" with the 2016 launch year. The model number is the reliable key: A2595 is the third generation, which Apple dates to 2022.
