- Analysis by KJ David
Essentially the iPhone 6s's specifications squeezed into the iPhone 5's compact shell, the iPhone SE brings back the iPhone 5's 4-inch Retina Display, which may be a pro or a con, depending on your preference.
Its biggest drawbacks include the absence of a microSD card slot , which many multimedia junkies obviously understandably frown upon, as well as a mere 1642mAh battery capacity that does not even pass the then-average (when it came out) value of roughly 2100mAh.
As for its selling points, this 2016 iPhone edition rocks a 12-megapixel camera that records 4K videos and has a sapphire crystal lens cover. It also features a FaceTime HD front camera , albeit it has only 1.2 megapixels in tow . Joining its cameras are Apple's Siri voice assistant, Apple Pay , as well as a Touch ID fingerprint sensor embedded into its home button.
The iPhone SE is pitched as being twice as powerful as the 2013 iPhone 5s, running on the iPhone 6s's 64-bit A9 CPU with an M9 motion coprocessor on board , though it sadly does not bring back the larger model's 3D touch technology . Still, the iPhone SE's pros and cons make it one of the most-advanced 4-inch smartphones out there.
