HistoryEdit

The previous major redesign of the iPhone, the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus, resulted in larger screen sizes. However a significant number of customers still preferred the 4-inch screen size of the iPhone 5 and 5S. Apple stated in their event that they sold 30 million 4-inch iPhones in 2015.

SpecificationsEdit

DesignEdit

The exterior design of the iPhone SE is nearly identical to that of the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5, with the exception of matte-chamferededges and an inset stainless steel rear Apple logo. Cases designed to fit the 5 and the 5S will also fit an iPhone SE The iPhone SE is available in space gray, silver, gold and rose gold.

HardwareEdit

The iPhone SE incorporates the Apple A9 system-on-chip (SoC) with an M9 motion coprocessor and supports near field communication for Apple Pay. It was released with 16 GB or 64 GB of internal storage. It features a 12 megapixel rear-facing camera with the ability to record 720p at 30 frames per second. Unlike the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, the SE does not include 3D Touch, nor the updated faster second-generation Touch ID sensor from the 6S and 6S Plus,or its barometer.

On March 21, 2017, Apple announced that it would double the storage for these models at the same launch prices
