Almost a year passed and we all get used to the iPhone 6, a curvy look by Apple. But, many people are still believing in small size iPhone and its harder angle look. They are still like the old iPhone size and believe that Old is Gold. Those who are huge fan of iPhone 4, will be the happiest to get it in gold also of their old favorite in upgraded features. Yes, I am talking about Apple’s new iPhone SE. It’s like a low cost love letter for old iPhone lovers. This time Apple took most of special features of the iPhone 6s and handsome and chamfered body of the iPhone 5.

We can say that iPhone SE is the twin brother of iPhone 5s with extra intelligence, I mean more features. Rather than features, iPhone SE has a rose-gold option among all colors. SE doesn’t have shiny finish but its chamfered edges have a matte. All of the most important changes are hidden under the hood, from the inclusion of Apple's A9 chip and M9 co-processor to the improved 12-megapixel camera sensor. 

If you are a fan of iPhone 5s then iPhone SE will feel like a fascinating combination of old and new. For once, we're getting a small iPhone that doesn't feel like a second-class device. Actually it’s a face that the SE might run even better than the 6s and 6s+ in some cases because the A9 has fewer pixels to move. The iPhone SE's screen resolution are 1,136 x 640. There are more new stuffs, though much of it is thanks to iOS 9.3 which is available from 21^st March, 2016.

With the compared features with iPhone 6s, we can’t get 3D Touch and the longer battery life. Still, there are some compromises. Apple says the iPhone SE has longer battery life than the 5s, but Apple hasn't mentioned how big the battery is. There is also a first-generation touch ID sensor, so it's not as fast as the iPhone 6s.

The Price is the most interested thing about the iPhone SE. Despite having many of the components that make the iPhone 6s such a powerhouse, the SE is a fraction of the price. Apple confirms that the started selling price of iPhone SE will be Rs.39000 in India.
