iPhone SE: 5 things to look for in the new Apple phone

Chennai

Small and Sturdy

The iPhone SE comes with a 4-inch display, smaller in size compared to its earlier models. What sets the phone apart is the internal chip used - 64 bit A9 chip that can be found in iPhone 6s. This makes the phone quite responsive and speedy, yielding maximum performance.

Incredible camera

Like the chip, even camera resembles iPhone 6s. The SE comes with 12-megapixel iSight camera that ensures detailed and sharper images. While front camera is 1.2 megapixel, the phone enables ultra HD (up to 4k) video recording. Another advantage is the 'Live Photos' with sound and movements just like the iPhone 6s.

Promising battery life

Apple has not yet revealed the specifications of SE battery but claims that it is better than the 5s and easily beats the life of the latter.
 
Pre-installed iOS 9.3

Along with iPhone SE, Apple launched iOS 9.3 as well, an upgraded version of iOS 9, similar to an app called F.lux. The iOS 9.3 boasts with a feature called 'Night Shift' which as the day comes to an end, alters the colour, temperature and brightness of the display providing a good night's sleep to the user. By next morning, the display switches back to regular settings.

Price a constraint

Like rest of the Apple phones, price of iPhone SE seems to be on the higher side of the scale. In US, 16 GB version costs USD 399 (approx Rs 27,000) and 64 GB is priced at USD 499 (close to Rs 33,000). In India, the starting price of iPhone SE will be Rs 39,000.
