    1. Speeds are based on theoretical throughput and vary based on site conditions and carrier.
    2. iPhone SE (2nd generation) is splash, water, and dust resistant and was tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of IP67 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 1 meter up to 30 minutes). Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear. Do not attempt to charge a wet iPhone; refer to the user guide for cleaning and drying instructions. Liquid damage not covered under warranty.
    3. All battery claims depend on network configuration and many other factors; actual results will vary. Battery has limited recharge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced by Apple service provider. Battery life and charge cycles vary by use and settings. Testing conducted by Apple in March 2020 using preproduction iPhone SE (2nd generation), production iPhone SE (1st generation), and production iPhone 6s units with iOS 13.4; and production iPhone 6 with iOS 12.4.5. Video playback consisted of a repeated 2-hour 23-minute movie purchased from the iTunes Store. All settings were default except: Bluetooth was paired with headphones; Wi-Fi was associated with a network; the Wi-Fi feature Ask to Join Networks, Auto-Brightness, and True Tone were turned off. Battery tests are conducted using specific iPhone units.
