Finally, today Apple launched it’s much-rumored iPhone SE in the launch event at Cupertino HQ, and Apple is going with its catchphrase “A big step for small”, well it looks like this phone is much of a hybrid which has come out from some of Apple’s previous best product lines, taking the specifications from its current flagship and morphing them into a design and size of the Iphone5 series, that is what Apple has done here, maybe that SE in the name stands for the smaller edition, you never know iPhone SE might actually mean, iPhone 6s (small edition) because that’s what it is.
This phone has a 4-inch form factor, and it has come out in the middle of Apple’s yearly phone launch cycle just before the iPhone 7 was about to hit the shelf, iPhone SE is a move by Apple to create a more affordable phone in order to capitalize on growing markets like India and China. The 4-inch form factor is handier and still preferred by many users and Apple has packed this device with the best specifications it could have before the iPhone 7 release, the device holds Apple’s fastest chip A9, a 12MP camera, in the keynote Apple said that it’s the best specifications for any 4-inch device out there.
