Apple introduced a couple of products and iOS 9.3 in its event held a couple of days ago. The latest addition to Apple’s devices are a new 9.7″ iPad Pro with a True Tone display and a smaller iPhone knows as Apple iPhone SE.
The new Apple iPhone SE is pretty much an iPhone 6S in terms of specifications. The phone comes with a 4″ display a resolution of 1136×640 pixels. Display size and resolution is exactly same as the iPhone 5S had. The camera is 12MP iSight camera which is borrowed from iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. The camera can record 4K 30fps, 1080p 60fps, and slow motion 1080p 120fps and 720p 240fps videos.
The back camera is exactly the same as the iPhone 6S but the front camera is featured from old, iPhone 5S. The front camera can record live photos and features Retina Flash which means the screen will act as a flash by getting 3 times brighter when taking a selfie from front camera.
The design and measurements of SE are exactly same as of iPhone 5S. It features a Nano Sim and faster LTE connectivity. It features Apple A9 chip with Dual-core 1.84 GHz Twister processor and PowerVR GT7600 graphics processing unit. It also has the M9 motion processor. The battery capacity is just 1642 mAh. We have to wait to see how does the battery perform on usage and can it last a whole day on a single charge.
The storage options are 16 GB and 64 GB. Making a 16 GB device again, even after having a lot of issues regarding updates due to storage, is not a good idea. We are still wondering why Apple did that again. The iPhne SE will run on iOS 9.3 out of the box.
The iPhone SE is the cheapest iPhone till date. It has a price tag of just $399 for 16 GB and $499 for 64 GB. Pre-orders will start on March 24 and Apple will start selling this phone from March 31. the phone will be available in 4 colors including Space Gray, Silver, Gold and Rose Gold.
