Apple finally unveil its highly anticipated 4 inch iPhone SE in its press event in Cupertino on Tuesday.
The new iPhone SE’s major upgrades include Apple’s A9 chip and M9 motion coprocessor, since the design is mostly identical to the iPhone 5s apart from the new rose gold color as expected.
Apple noted that the upgraded internals give the iPhone SE the same graphics and processing performance as the iPhone 6S.
The new Apple device features a new 4K-capable 12MP iSight camera with Retina Flash, Focus Pixels, True Tone Flash, and a new image signal processor. That gives the device support for 4k video, 1080p at up to 60fps, slo-mo up to 240 fps, and Panoramas up to 63MP.
Other new specs in the iPhone SE include faster LTE, voice over LTE support, Wi-Fi calling, Bluetooth 4.2, and improved battery life over the iPhone 5s. You’ll also now get support for Live Photos and always-on “Hey Siri”.
And the device has new microphones as well as an NFC chip, which means Apple Pay will be supported unlike with previous 4-inch iPhones.
The iPhone SE will be Apple’s least expensive new iPhone yet starting at just $399 or free on contract with carriers. Get full information on the iPhone SE’s pricing and availability here.
