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.

The iPhone SE 2020 is the best cheap smartphone for most people – its camera, build quality and speed all match more expensive phones. Its smaller screen will also please those who feel left behind by ever-larger devices.
Premium build; Excellent processor; Very impressive camera; Great value; Waterproof
Average battery life; No haptic touch on lock screen; No Night Mode in camera
Value may be subjective, but it’s hard to argue that the new iPhone SE doesn’t shake up what’s reasonable to expect from a smartphone in 2020. Apple’s most affordable phone is recycling refined to art, a blend of old and new with a barely-believable $400 price tag.
Aggressive pricing; Latest processor and Apple's track-record of updating iOS; Premium metal & glass construction
Single camera is solid but lacks features like Night Mode; Display is small compared to other phones; Budget for a better charger
The 16:9 display works well for watching video and, speaking of that, it’s great to view a screen without a notch.
Amazingly fast processor; Solid camera; Great fit in the hand
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
Similar to my Iphone 5 so not much to learn
The iPhone 14 isn’t much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it’s still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.
Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance
Display could use some upgrades
Apple has given select media outlets and YouTubers access to the new iPhone 14 ahead of when it begins arriving in customers' hands on Friday, September 16. There are two models of the iPhone 14, the standard 6.1-inch iPhone 14 and the larger 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus.
The iPhone SE is one year older, but its added storage options and strong performance running iOS 10 still makes it a great choice for small-phone fans.
A small, hand-friendly design; Solid speed; Good front and rear cameras; More built-in storage (up to 128GB); The lowest priced iPhone you can buy.
Older giant-bezel design and limited screen size are love-it-or-hate-it; Hardware hasn't changed since its 2016 debut.
If you've been doggedly clinging to a battered iPhone 5 or iPhone 5s, then the iPhone SE is your dream made real: a 4in phone with all the power of Apple's latest handsets. If, on the other hand, you've become used to a larger-screened phone then the iPhone SE looks and feels disconcertingly tiny.
The iPhone SE is as small as the iPhone 5 but as powerful as the iPhone 6s – and it has the same great rear camera – all for $679 (or $749 for 64GB of storage).
