If you do not have enough funds for this purchase, then you need to make it next year. During this period, you will be able to notice a significant decrease in prices. It will become available to everyone.

iPhone SE / iPhone SE (CE) - price in Russia

Today this device is considered to be similar to the previous model. That is why its cost will be considered identical to the one that was offered last. If you are planning to purchase this product in Russia, then its cost may be from 37 900 rubles... The developers report that the iPhone 5s after the release of this smartphone will already be discontinued.


The appearance of the iPhone SE - photo from the presentation

Before its official presentation to the public, many managed to understand that the smartphone will be a mixture between the 5s and 6s models. WITH previous model it will be united only by its dimensions. If you look closely at the 6s, then you can understand that it is combined with streamlined shapes. IPhone CE will not only have new design but also the body. Its body will be anodized aluminum.

Its back should be decorated with special inserts. The current generation has had the same inserts. It will also receive similar volume buttons from its predecessors. If you look at him externally, then you can understand that he almost completely copies the 5s model. After the announced release date of the iPhone SE, the manufacturer plans to provide buyers with four colors. These include:

  • Silver.
  • Gray.
  • Golden.
  • Pink gold.




These colors are considered the most common and popular. Rose gold is considered a novelty and the company is confident that this color will be popular among customers.

Display

The iPhone SE has a Retina display. Its diagonal is now 4 inches. One inch includes 326 pixels. Also the manufacturer practices new technology which will be installed on it. This includes 3D Touch. It provides the screen with a fairly high sensitivity. It will work with one touch and will not cause any difficulties. Compared to other models, it is considered similar, and you will hardly notice any differences.


CPU

The company has been thinking about the new processor for a long time. A9 chipset will be installed here, (photo from the iPhone SE presentation)


Apple employees were reluctant to install legacy products. This is logical, since in the fall many will be able to please themselves with the new iPhone 7. These products will already have a new platform, which is single-chip. In addition to a special chipset, a new voice assistant will also be installed here. It will almost always be in the background. If you want to activate it, then you should simply say the phrase "Hey Siri."

Now the processor it has is considered to be the most productive. Many experts think that within three years it will be the last in the ranking of the most productive devices. That is why the purchase of this device is considered short-lived, since in a few years its performance will not be enough for new applications and programs. If we consider the iPhone SE in technically, then you can understand that it is quite similar to the iPhone 6s. If you are looking for cheap products, then only Chinese manufacturers can boast of this product.

After conducting research, it was possible to understand that this product will be slightly more powerful than its 6 model. To carry out this test, a special AnTuTu system was used. After the test, the manufacturers were able to understand that this model will be 2,000 points more powerful than its predecessors.


At the moment, a Taiwanese company is supplying new processors. It is possible that in the near future they can join Samsung... She is also constantly developing her technology and therefore is considered a leader.

Memory smartphone iPhone CE

For many people, the memory of the device is considered quite important. The iPhone SE is now 2GB. This volume will be quite enough to perform the necessary tasks. Built-in memory, as in previous models, will range from 16 to 64 GB. Accordingly and price policy may differ.

Battery

The Wall Street Journal recently conducted a special test. They gave this device a real test of how long it worked. Thanks to this, they were able to determine its health and the state of the battery.
This test also took part new flagship Samsung S7. This novelty has shown its best side. It has the same brightness and therefore is in the same conditions. After the research, it was possible to find out that in its own way affordable price The iPhone SE is capable of up to two hours longer than a regular device. This device also has a 4-inch display. The Samsung smartphone lasted three hours less. However, it should be recalled that the devices were in the same conditions.

Cameras on iPhone SE

The new device will have a new 1.2 megapixel front camera. The main camera here is 12 megapixels. Camera characteristics in the photo from the iPhone SE presentation:


Also, the developers could not leave this device without new chips. The ability to create "live photos" was built in here. The frequency of shooting such pictures is 30 frames per second.

Impressions and reviews

Many journalists assume that this device is addressed to people who have smartphones with a 4-inch screen. It targets this very category, as many people think it will be difficult for people to go back from a 4.7 "screen to a 4" iPhone SE. Many experts believe that the company needs to change. Lately, a lot of people like to take selfies, and front camera 1.2 megapixels will not be enough.

This device is only truly available in the United States. If you live in Russia and wish to purchase an iPhone SE, then its price can be significantly upsetting. It will cost 40,000 rubles for this novelty. At the time of purchase, you will definitely need to study all the technical characteristics of this unit. In times of crisis, the price of the iPhone SE in Russia can even exceed 60,000 rubles. As you can see, not everyone can afford to change their predecessor to the iPhone CE.

At the end of March 2016, Apple presented several of its devices, most of all I was interested in Apple iPhone SE therefore I decided to write a review about it in which we will take a closer look at its characteristics. I want to say right away that the main competitor of the new smartphone will be the Iphone 6, but in general the device can be called a smaller one. Iphone version 6S plus. Everything seems to be the same, however, the screen is smaller and the maximum memory is only 64 GB, and the performance will not be much weaker than the flagship, besides, the battery has also not been cut down a lot. However, the new device promises to be a clear favorite, since not everyone likes shovels, but here it turns out like Sonya, not a large, but powerful gadget. Further details on the remaining characteristics point by point.

Design

In principle, the device is outwardly difficult to distinguish from the iPhone 5C, the only thing that it will be presented in 4 colors will add rose gold that many girls like. Otherwise, this is the same familiar and convenient design. Of the minuses, one can immediately note that there is no 3D Touch function, and the first generation Touch ID, but there is a fingerprint scanner and an NFC module that will allow you to make purchases in Apple Pay, although it should be borne in mind that this service is not supported either in Russia or in Belarus or Ukraine. Although a nice bonus will be that we have improved the work in LTE networks. Not much has changed in the materials of the case - the same matte aluminum and glass, in principle reliable and of high quality and, which is important, corresponds to the price.

Display

The diagonal of the screen is 4 inches with a resolution of 1136 by 640 pixels, in principle everything is good here, it looks not bad. Of course, we could have made some kind of screen from a series of not possible, but this would significantly affect the cost. for HD display lovers, I can say that with such a diagonal that it would not look much better, besides, the Retina matrix at one time went far from Amoled and IPS. Therefore, there are no complaints here. all this beauty is covered protective glass Gorilla Glass fourth generation, also has an oleophobic coating. One of the advantages is the support for Multi-Touch technology. Specifications quite high: maximum brightness 500 cd / m2, statistical contrast 800 to 1.

CPU


The good news is that the iPhone CE has received a top-end processor and, given the small screen diagonal, it should work really fast. Although, again, it will not be very convenient to work on such a display, but it will be just right for games. The dual-core A9 chipset with the M9 coprocessor is responsible for the performance here, of course, given its competitiveness, there is an option that the software will still underestimate the performance, but it's not bad either. Especially considering that most of the games from the iPhone 4 are optimized for the Apple platform. so we can't talk about lags and freezes, it should be one of the most powerful small smartphones.

Memory


This is where there is a big minus. Two versions of the phone will enter the market, the first with 32 GB and the second with 64 and without the possibility of expanding the volume using a memory card. It should also be borne in mind that with an average load, the phone will have to be cleaned on average 3-4 months after purchase, since only one photo weighs a lot.

Battery


Here energy saving on the highest level, this is facilitated by an economical processor and a small screen diagonal. Of course, the capacity will also not be cut much in order to reduce competitiveness, because the smartphone should be better than the Iphone 5S, but weaker, and therefore less expensive than the Iphone 6S +. However, with all this, the standards will be observed for 5-6 hours of work with serious toys and work with LTE networks and it will withstand 4K video shooting, of course, it is worth considering the factor that it all depends on how to use it. Well, if you need a phone in order not to surf the Internet a lot, sit in social networks, play a little, shoot a little, then here the operating time increases to 1, and then 1.5 days. In principle, I can say that the device has some of the best energy saving indicators, so if you need a long-lived and powerful device, then this will be the best option for buying yourself or as a gift to your loved ones.

Camera


This point is one solid plus, because here is the module of the flagship model of 2015-2016, that is, from Apple Iphone 6S +. With the same functions and characteristics. It also has the ability to shoot 4K video at 30fps, slow motion and many other shooting modes. There is also a dual-LED flash, which will help you take not only high-quality photos from the main camera, but also a good selfie with the front camera in low light conditions. So if you need to buy a small but powerful smartphone with a good camera for yourself or for a gift to loved ones - this is one of the best options. It is also pleasing that the outside of the modules are protected by sapphire glass, so that scratches are not terrible. The technical characteristics are not very modest, the main camera has a resolution of 12MP, the front one is 1.2.

pros

  • Autonomy

Output

Still will release the second iPhone generation SE. The smartphone turned out to be very successful, it “collects cash” in the middle price segment, mercilessly beats competitors in emerging markets. When to expect iPhone SE 2 According to the results of last year, in many countries (including Russia) the best-selling Apple smartphone became the iPhone 5s. This is a real find, especially for countries like India and China. The model looks cheerful even now, but the venerable age of "eski" does not allow recommending it for purchase. After the recent price cuts on the iPhone SE, it is turning into an ideal purchase for those who want a compact smartphone, who want to try Apple for the first time, or those looking for a device to act as a second phone. Now iPhone SE is on sale from 20 thousand rubles. For this amount, we get almost flagship characteristics, good camera, easy-to-use one-handed display and proven body design. The price cut is clearly approved by Apple and is aimed at selling the iPhone SE stale in Russia. Many rumors indicate that the "budget flagship" of the second generation will appear exactly next spring. It is pointless to roll out such devices every year, every two years is a normal cycle. Among the potential buyers of SE 2 will be those who, for whatever reason, will be disappointed in the iPhone presented in the fall.

Especially I would not wait for the iPhone SE 2, no one will give a 100% guarantee of the appearance of the device, the price tag at the start of sales may be overstated, and it is not known how much the generosity of domestic resellers with the price of the first SE will be enough. What will be the iPhone SE 2 The smartphone simply needs a new design. The "angular remnant" from 2013 will be a complete fail in 2018. Even last year, before the presentation of the iPhone SE, everyone was waiting for a new design in the style of the "six". Cupertino decided to save money on development and sell old components, but this cannot be done a second time. After the release of SE 2, the first will fall in price even more, resellers will offer this model for at least a year for an average of 15-17 thousand. At the same time, only a few will choose a novelty for the updated filling. We are definitely looking forward to a new design in the iPhone SE 2. Another major innovation may be the 4.2-inch display. A slight increase in the screen should not affect the size of the novelty. If the dimensions remain the same, but the screen increases, this will be a significant plus when choosing SE 2. Changes "under the hood" will be of the least interest to potential buyers, this is not flagship model and it will be superfluous to measure points in synthetic tests. Nevertheless, the model can inherit the filling from the iPhone 7. There will be an improved camera, and second generation Touch ID, and the A10 Fusion processor. Storage capacity and price Many sources confirm that the iPhone SE 2 will come in two versions: 32GB and 128GB. In the US, the models will cost $ 300 and $ 400, respectively. With us, this will result in 27-30 and 35-37 thousand rubles at the start of sales. Not so tempting, especially considering the reduction in price of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 7. Do you need an iPhone SE 2 Definitely! This is not the first time Apple has entered the mid-range segment. The plastic iPhone 5c experiment came out ambiguous, and the second appearance with the SE was much better. The company clearly plans to maintain market share in emerging markets and squeeze out Android competitors in other markets. It's always cool when an iPhone can be bought for $ 300-400, when you can choose between a flagship and a simpler model, when there is a big "shovel" and handy smartphone... As the practice of 5s has shown, such devices can easily withstand a 4-year service cycle.

It's been over a year since Apple gave serious attention to the compact smartphone segment it once owned. It did so with the launch of the iPhone SE, a 4-inch device that combines the hardware advances of the iPhone 6s inside the body of the iPhone 5. The recipe turned out to be a lucky one - the iPhone SE is still one of the best ultra-compact phones you can buy, reports.

Although not much time has passed, the iPhone SE will reportedly be replaced by the improved iPhone SE 2017, a new entrant to the compact scene. While not much is known about it, a bunch of specs and a couple of real-life photos that have surfaced recently added a bit of fuel to the fire. Who knows, maybe Apple will show us this new iPhone SE at WWDC 17 starting June 5th?

Apple iPhone SE (2017) design and display

It looks like the new iPhone SE 2017 will have almost no resemblance to its predecessor - according to a recent leak, Apple will ditch the old-school metal design, replacing it with a trendy and glossy glass one. That's exactly what the leak reveals: a bunch of rear panels that proudly show off the Apple logo and redesigned flash camera. The new 2017 iPhone SE reportedly boasts an ION-X glass back, made from the same material used for glass. Apple Watch and reportedly as durable as Corning's latest iterations of Gorilla Glass.


As for the overall design of the next iPhone SE, we're guessing it might look like a mix of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 5c, but with glass. The front of the device will certainly look like any other iPhone, with a circular home button and a built-in TouchID fingerprint reader.

The display size is likely to remain at 4 inches. There are rumors that Apple could put an OLED display on this phone, but that's unlikely - much more plausible that it will be first introduced on the iPhone 7S / 8. The screen will most likely still be 640 x 1336 pixels Retina display as we are not expecting an update.

Hardware

The next generation iPhone SE 2017 is likely to continue to meet the unprecedented performance standards set by its successor, as well as add some enhancements. Compact iPhone SE 2017 likely boasts Apple's A10 Fusion chipset, augmented by 2 gigabytes random access memory... It looks like it will be an impressive combination and we really hope the rumors come true.

Camera Apple iPhone SE (2017)

Almost nothing is known about the camera on the next generation iPhone SE. It is safe to assume that the device will either inherit the installation iPhone cameras 7, or will not improve anything at all. All we know so far is that the positioning of the camera and flash will be slightly updated - the flash will be positioned directly on the bottom of the camera lens, unlike any of the current iPhones.

release date

We don't know if the iPhone SE will be announced at WWDC 17. Given this is a purely software summit, we doubt Apple will launch new phone in June of this year, but we will not completely discard this rumor. After all, surprises happen all the time, and Apple is definitely among the top performers.
