iPhone SE (Special Edition)[3] is a smartphone that was designed and marketed by Apple Inc. It was released on March 31, 2016 and served as the successor of the iPhone 5S. iPhone SE was discontinued on September 12, 2018 along with the iPhone 6S and iPhone X, and Apple has not announced a successor to this model, however some speculate Apple's successor to the iPhone SE was the iPhone XR, a lower-end model of the iPhone X and iPhone XS.
History
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.[4][5]
Specifications
Design
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-chamfered edges and an inset stainless steel rear Apple logo. Cases designed to fit the 5 and the 5S will also fit an iPhone SE.[6] The iPhone SE is available in space gray, silver, gold and rose gold.[7]
Hardware
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 4K 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,[8] or its barometer.[9]
On March 21, 2017, Apple announced that it would double the storage for these models at the same launch prices.[10][11]
Software
The iPhone SE shipped with iOS 9.3, supporting iPhone 6 and 6S-exclusive features such as Apple Pay, Live Photos, Retina Flash and always-on Siri voice activation.[7][9][12]
Reception
CNET was positive, considering the iPhone SE to be a "great choice at the small end, with no compromises". [11] CNET also lauded Apple for accomplishing the task of adapting the 6S's hardware to three different form factors; the smaller SE, 4.7-inch 6S, and 5.5-inch 6S Plus.[13][11]
The Verge considered the iPhone SE to be "a much-improved, well-designed, small phone with great battery life" and a "great upgrade" for existing owners of the 4S or 5S models, noting the device's familiar form factor, high performance (going as far as considering the screen size itself to be the only hindrance to multitasking and certain apps), and improved battery life. Giving the device an 8.7 out of 10, Goode argued that "the iPhone SE is not a tiny little engine of innovation. It's today's tech in yesterday's phone body. As with anything, we should be wary of giving too much praise to something that's just doing its job."[14]
