On March 21, Apple held a special event at their headquarters in Cupertino, California. Apple introduced new iPhone and iPad Pro models along with new Apple Watch bands. Let's take a closer look at Apple's new products.
iPhone SE
The iPhone SE is a new 4-inch iPhone available in Silver, Space Gray, Gold, or Rose Gold and in two storage options: 16GB and 64GB. iPhone SE has the same design as an iPhone 5s, but boasts powerful new internal parts. The iPhone SE offers a 2x faster CPU than the iPhone 5s, ability to film 4k video, take Live Photos and more. The iPhone SE possesses processing power similar to that of an iPhone 6s, but in a 4-inch screen.
In introducing the iPhone SE, Apple appeals to a segment of smartphone users who desire smaller devices without sacrificing power and performance. Individuals who did not enjoy the increase in size brought on by the introduction of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus should check out the iPhone SE.
iPhone SE starts at just $399 or free with a two-year contract and is available for order on March 24, 2016.
