Apple Iphone SE "the most powerful 4 inch Phone ever"
Apple introduced the 4-inch iPhone SE, its first 4-inch iPhone
since 2013, at a media event on March 21, 2016, with the official launch
following on March 31. Described as the "most powerful 4-inch iPhone
ever," the iPhone SE resembles the design of the iPhone 5s with many internal components from the iPhone
6s, resulting in an affordable, highly capable device that's available in a
small package.
Design wise, the iPhone SE uses the same body as
the iPhone 5s, but it includes a color-matched inset
stainless steel Apple logo and matte
chamfered edges, contrasting the shiny chamfered edges and
standard logo of the iPhone 5s. The iPhone SE is available in Silver, Space
Gray, Gold, and Rose Gold.
An A9 chip with
integrated M9 motion co-processor, also used in the iPhone 6s
and 6s Plus, powers the iPhone SE, enabling always-on "Hey Siri"
functionality. Its efficiency results in longer
battery life with
up to 14 hours of talk time and 13 hours of Internet use.
Also adopted from the iPhone 6s is a rear-facing 12-megapixel
camera which has
faster focusing, better noise reduction, improved tone mapping, and a new image
signal processor for sharper, more detailed photos. The iPhone SE can shoot 4K
video and capture
63-megapixel panoramas, and it can take Live Photos, but there is no 3D Touch support.
The FaceTime HD camera has not been upgraded,
continuing to support 1.2-megapixel photos and 720p video recording. Retina Flash,
which lights up the iPhone's display for illumination, is included.
Other iPhone SE features include faster LTE with support for up to 19 bands at
speeds of up to 150MB/s, plus it has fast 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 support. A first-generation
Touch ID sensor
and an NFC chip are available in the iPhone SE,
enabling Apple Pay functionality.
The most appealing aspect of the iPhone SE is its
low price, which starts at $399 for
16GB of storage and goes up to $499 for 64GB of storage.
