IPhone 5se 4-inch iPhone From Apple - Know The Details

The photos of the model could turn out to be fake, but the site One More Thing has published leaked images from "Apple insiders" which turned out to be legitimate before. Though the new smartphone may resemble iPhone 5s, however its software and hardware attributes are likely to differ considerably from the former version. The "se" either stands for special edition or enhanced "s", he added.

A report by 9To5Mac reveals that the iPhone 5se will come with faster A9 and M9 chips, instead of the previously rumoured A8.

The web is now crawling with rumours about a smaller 4-inch iPhone, likely to be called the 5se. The new phone is expected to have the same 4-inch screen as the iPhone 5, but with a similar design to the current-generation iPhone 6s, TechRadar reports.

Other reports have suggested the iPhone 5se will include a metal chassis and will be available in a choice of gold, rose gold, silver and grey, like the iPhone 6s. The upcoming device will have the same body size with iPhone 5S, but will have the specs of iPhone 6.

It will only account for 8-9% of next year's iPhone sales, but it will help Apple expand its presence in emerging markets, and among consumers on tighter budgets, according to Mr Kuo. The device is codenamed "N69" and features rounded edges with curved glass like the iPhone 6 and 6s.

As usual, these are all just in the rumor stage for now, so don't take anything for granted until March when the company is expected to present the new 4-inch iPhone. The forum has credibility for leaking the first images of the iPad Air and iPad Air 2 some years before.

When the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus were launched, Apple said it sold 13 million units in its first three days, breaking 2014's record of 10 million, although its still expected to match the 74.5 million iPhones sold during the same period previous year.
