Apple Announces iPhone SE.

A big step for small.



Yesterday, was the March Apple event. There were not many products, but lot to love. One of them was the iPhone SE.

The iPhone SE is the new 4-inch phone from Apple. It comes in the same form factor as the iPhone 5s, but packed with amazing new features inside and out.

It starts with the design. The iPhone SE takes the beloved design of the 5s and refines it further.
It comes in a new Rose Gold finish, the same one of the 6s.

The iPhone SE is the most powerful 4-inch phone to date. It has the exact same A9 processor that is in the iPhone 6s. With the A9 processor comes an M9 motion co-processor. This tracks your fitness everyday. And apps can take advantage. More than that, this allows an always-on 'Hey Siri!'. With these new processors, the iPhone SE is twice as fast in CPU tasks that the iPhone 5s. But more than that, it's 3x faster in graphics tasks.

The iPhone SE comes with an amazing camera. It's 12 Mega Pixels and records stunning 4K video. Just like the iPhone 6s. Although this iPhone does not have 3D Touch built-in, it can capture live photos. You can edit your videos in iMovie, and edit 2 4K streams simultaneously, right in the palm of your hands!
The front facing camera is 5 MP, you can take stunning selfies with this phone!

iPhone SE comes with Touch ID, so you can unlock your phone fast, while being secure at the same time.
Since the it has Touch ID, you can use iPhone SE to make payments with Apple Pay. To make this possible, there had to be an NFC chip and a Secure Element inside the iPhone SE.

iPhone SE has faster LTE and Wi-Fi. It supports up to 19 LTE bands, up to 150Mbps over LTE and up to 433Mbps on Wi-Fi.

iPhone SE comes with iOS 9 with all the cool features. And it supports Night Shift with iOS 9.3.

iPhone SE costs just $399 for 16GB! On a 2-year plan, it's FREE!!

You can pre-order the iPhone SE starting Thursday (March 24th) and it will begin shipping March 31.

Third-party Indian resellers already undercut that price point, selling iPhone SE around the $320 mark. Apple was  effectively forced into setting up domestic manufacturing  in order to launch Indian retail stores, as India laws state that companies wanting a retail presence must source at least 30% of their goods locally. According to the Wall Street Journal, government officials hope to see the India iPhone SE sell for even less in its home country. There are obviously some cost savings for Apple to take advantage of by producing domestically and local government reportedly believes Apple could sell its iPhone for as low as $220 (converted to Indian currency). Apple typically does not like to price its devices differently based on region, however, so final pricing is unknown. However, Apple may be more lenient with its pr
