iPhone SE is a 4-inch phone unveiled by Apple on the 21st of March 2016. It's the first 4-inch produced by Apple since the launch of iPhone 5S in 2013.
The target group is users that prefer a compact and non-bulky phone with top features. Apple wants to ensure that existing iPhone 5S users don't switch to another brand when upgrading their phones. Hence, an upgraded 4-inch phone makes a lot of sense from this perspective.
The look of iPhone SE is almost identical to that of iPhone 5S in terms of form and look-and-feel. However, the four colours are the same as for the iPhone 6s.
The specs are impressive. The A9 processor powering the iPhone SE is 70% faster than the older A8 processor. The graphics processor (GPU) is 90% faster. In fact, Apple claims that graphics performance has been boosted three times compared to iPhone 5S.
The camera matches the performance of iPhone 6s and 6s plus. It's capable of recording in 4K at a 30 fps rate. The resolution of the camera is 12 MP. The Retina flash enables the front camera to take bright selfie shots.
The battery life has been vastly improved over iPhone 5S. Communication is also faster with network supported up til 433 Mbps. Wifi calling is also supported.
The iPhone SE is available with two storage options: 16GB and 64GB.
Manufacturer: Apple
It totally is. If you have a iPhone 5 lying around, check to see the dimensions- Apple have whipped out the shell of their older flagship, made the tiniest of tweaks and presented beefed up specs in the retro-themed body.
Perfect for using one-handed; Incredible performance; Great camera; Price; good battery life
Might be too small; no 3D touch
I really wanted to love the iPhone SE. From the moment it was announced I just knew it made sense. A compact iPhone with the best design the range has ever had, plus the very best performance and camera, should have made one hell of a handset.
Great design; Well priced; Excellent camera
Screen feels old; Slightly too small; 16GB minimum storage is disappointing
A form factor favourite returns rejuvenated. Apple's iPhone SE is the best small phone you can buy.
Great battery life, Compact without compromise, It's a bargain..; for an iPhone
16GB? Come on; Old design; No 3D Touch
Why is the iPhone SE cheaper than the iPhone 6s?
WIRED's verdict on the small but beautiful Apple iPhone SE.
Small but powerful; great battery life; good camera
Not for movie watchers; lack of 3D Touch; no upgrade for selfie camera
Update : We're still waiting for the iPhone SE 2 to come and usurp the SE, but it's not all over for this handset as Apple's just confirmed it will get an upgrade to iOS 11 later this year. Why should you care about the iPhone SE?
A mini phone packed with the latest technology - if you can't get on with phablets then this is the phone for you
Sensible size; Lengthy battery life; Good quality camera; Fast
No 128GB option; No 3D Touch
With the same design and 4in screen, the iPhone SE brings the iPhone 5S bang up to date, and at a price that's a lot more affordable than an iPhone 6S. Here's our iPhone SE review.
Display - Small but highly detailed The iPhone SE really is a handset that has been designed for the small phone lover with its 4" Retina display. This sizing makes it an ideal replacement for Apple fans still using an iPhone 4s or iPhone 5s.
A small iPhone with the heart of a big one? It's true, and it's a pretty decent package, even if it took Apple long enough.
Apple's original winning size returns to centre stage; Great spec upgrade; making the iPhone SE faster than the still available iPhone 6; All-day battery life; Great camera; Includes a fingerprint reader; Supports the same accessories as the iPhone 5 and 5S… because it's the same phone chassis-wise...
Small screen (in comparison to what else is out there today; Front-facing camera is old and low resolution (again; in comparison to what else is out there today; No force-touch/3D touch screen
