iPhone 5 se white. A look at the pros and cons of the Apple iPhone SE

A funny video is already circulating around Merezha, in which one humorist gives two iPhone 5S into the hands of random people on the streets and it seems that one of them is the price of the new iPhone SE. They immediately recognize a lot of advantages in one of the devices, but they don’t even realize what they really smell like. After the iPhone SE starts selling, the experiment can be repeated and it is unlikely that anything will change.

Why? Because Apple simply took the “filling” of the iPhone 6S and packaged it in a case similar to a smartphone from three years ago. Saving is saving, but the process is still not the most beautiful. The new model may still be new in terms of design.

Towards the hour, the demand for mercy began.

The guy was given two iPhone 5S and told that one of them was the price of the new iPhone SE. I immediately started praising one of the devices and barking at the other. Other participants in the experiment reacted similarly.

2. The iPhone SE does not have the best technical characteristics

It seems to be true: when it comes to optimizing the system and “climbing”, Apple retailers are doing a solid job. This does not ignore the fact that 2 GB of memory in a current smartphone is not nearly as plentiful as one would like.

Well, 16 gigabytes of memory have been used – this is a voluntary benefit for the sake of suffering. How many movies, games, music and photos can you save on those 12-13 gigabytes that Apple really deprived you of? So, there is a model with 64 GB of memory, and for it the cunning Americans ask you to be generous in addition and pay an additional 10,000 rubles to the beast.

3. For the same money you can buy a very good Android smartphone

Let’s remember that the Apple iPhone SE in Russia costs 38,000 rubles. It’s impossible to ask potential buyers for a younger version with 16 GB of memory, but as we all know, it’s impossible to expand.

What can you buy for this money? Almost like a minor flagship at an official price! For example, Samsung Galaxy S6 for 39,000 rubles, LG G4 for 40,000 rubles, Sony Xperia Z5 Compact for 36,000 rubles, or the even newer and stronger Huawei Mate 8 for 40,000 rubles. You can find these devices even cheaper from other sellers.

4. Screen with a diagonal of 4 inches - it’s too small

Try to find out if you want one larger current Android smartphone with a screen whose diagonal is no larger than 4 inches. They simply don’t understand, because the majority of the market has long been comprised of models with a display diagonal of 4.7 to 5.5 inches. The Sony Xperia Z5 Compact, which everyone respects as a very small smartphone, is equipped with a 4.6-inch screen!

Another problem with Apple for pixels: the separate screen of the iPhone SE becomes 1136x640 pixels and does not reach simple HD (1280x720 pixels). Well, the current standard for a decent “midget” on Android today is Full HD (1920x1080 pixels). Before speaking, there is a lot of reason why, through the low-split screen, the iPhone works faster and uses fewer financial resources to complete various tasks.

To put it simply, Full HD today is not good, just HD is already less, but still normal, less, less HD (like Apple) - in fact, a century has passed.

5. Do you really want a non-top-end iPhone?

New iPhones are often bought over healthy people: just for the sake of prestige. Once you look at the iPhone SE from this point of view, you should seriously think about how your friends and colleagues will perceive the appearance of the gadget in your hands. After all, it just seems that you have, as before, an old iPhone 5S. If you can overcome them, then you won’t be able to get rid of your respect and respect. For whom do you happen to check Veresnya and brother iPhone 7 on credit.

Before the speech, since you immediately missed the presentation of the iPhone SE, we saved it especially for you. Well, read about it thoroughly - we still take an objective approach: the new gadget has both its shortcomings and its advantages.

SE, although it’s a stretch, it can still be called “cheap,” but you can boast of a remarkably low price not in every device market, but among other current iPhones. For example, its characteristics are much better than the same iPhone 5C, which also gives it the status of “cheap”.

The devices that are removed from the box, the first thing you appreciate is its new look. Since this is the original version, it is impossible to revive it in 5s. The new devices are the same and become 112. The elements of the locking system are also no longer permanent, the blocking button is no longer present, and the keys are no longer round.

Due to the smooth and streamlined “six”, the inflexible body of the SE crashes into the hand and causes discomfort to the kidney. Through phablets and smartphones with a diagonal of approximately 5 inches, the SE is perceived as even unimportant and compact.

The eye of the camera, the sleepers, the roses, the light under the antenna - everything was lost by oneself. The only thing that is similar to the 5s device is the SE engraving on the back, like the iPhone 6s.

In addition to the body, the novelty has reduced the abundance of archaic parts of the front. The four-inch IPS display will be lost, as it were, with a separate size of 1136x640. What permission is required in order to comfortably use the smartphone, even if the iPhone 6s is leveled head-to-head, it is still visible that the screen does not lose contrast, although the reserve of brightness has been lost too much.

The new smartphone has eliminated the first generation Touch ID scanner. As a result, it is working faster, below 5s, but it is still far from being as fast as 6s. As with the 5s, often the finger is simply not recognized and you have to re-apply your finger.

One of the biggest disappointments is the front camera of the iPhone 5s. This separate unit is only 1.2 megapixels, and you can take good pictures, otherwise they will be suitable for Instagram.

In 2016, it’s amazing to release a phone for such a pittance with such a weak front panel.

What really makes me happy is the main camera. It may be the case with the iPhone 6s, but the number of photos is still not enough. More extensive tests of the camera will be carried out with a closer look, but it is now clear that the SE camera is no longer suitable. Є support for Live Photos, like the iPhone 6s, but through the presence of 3D Touch, photos are activated in the morning. It is recessed into the body and does not protrude beyond its boundaries.

One of the main advantages of the iPhone SE compared to its predecessor, for which the smartphone can be rich, is its characteristics. “Zalizo” in SE is absolutely the same as in 6s. The smartphone is based on an A9 processor with an M9 processor, which provides geolocation and other sensors. The size of the RAM is 2 GB.

However, it is surprising that the smartphone has such serious characteristics. Playing “important athlete” games on the GTA: San Andreas console is difficult, with your fingers covering almost half of the display. But at the same time, these games are performed surprisingly well, without straining against “lags” or suspension.

It is important to respect the autonomy of the device. However, the display has a low separate capacity and the battery (1624 mAh versus 1560 mAh), which is a little larger, is important to note that the SE will be a little longer, below 6s and 5s. A few days of work, of course, is not a good idea, unless you increase your life time by a couple of years.

So there is a new iPhone in the old case for 40 thousand. rub. With dubious components for the base of the outdated display and front camera, but what about the wonderful camera and heavy filling?

And finally, most people don’t need a phone with a large display, but in this case they have to work hard so as not to “disturb” the next two or three rocks. There are few such phones, and there are not enough of them with a diagonal of 4 inches. Therefore, regardless of flaws in details, SE will know your buyer based on the camera, characteristics and remarkably low prices.

For the iPhone SE "Gazeta.Ru" to this store

Calling all lovers of small screens and 4-inch iPhones! On March 21, 2016, Apple updated its line of 4-inch iPhones with the new iPhone SE. This means that we can choose. We can avoid buying large iPhones with 4.7″ or 5.5″ screens because they smell like new models. If you love a large screen and the good old “five” has always ruled you, then today you can get a new, fresh 4-inch iPhone SE due to the current and current “leak” in the middle.

The most important thing is that people who used the iPhone 5 have already encountered problems associated with the software. For example, the “night mode” function in iOS 9.3 is no longer supported by the “five” and is important for everything, it is not a fact that the iPhone 5 will support all functions. Tobto. Apple is gradually introducing support for the fifth generation, and when purchasing an iPhone SE, we will receive the latest device with a current processor that will support all the functions of all new versions of iOS for nearly 5 years. So we'll probably sell it or we'll ruin it sooner :)

Colori and corps

First of all, I would immediately like to show respect for the presence of a new color in the line of Apple iPhones and, as such, in the line of 4-inch iPhones - Rose Gold. Just in time, Apple introduced this color and has now decided to equip the next version of the iPhone. The new color is popular and already three devices from all Apple products are available. I really believe that it won’t be long before we figure it out.

The shape of the iPhone SE identically repeats the shape of the iPhone 5S, which is why everyone is sick of your heels. They just took our whatever 4-inch iPhone and inhaled the current stuffing into it. They updated, in other words. Well, that’s right, even the iPhone 5S can be convenient, handy, comfortable, in optimal shape and everything you need, as long as the filling is relevant.

Zalizo

What kind of processor does the iPhone SE have?

The iPhone SE processor is the current A9 chip, which is found in the iPhone 6S. Also, the A9 chip contains an M9 processor, which provides contactless access to Siri - now you can simply say “Hello Siri” and it will be activated. You don't need to press the "Home" button anymore.

How much RAM does the iPhone SE have?

Fortunately, the iPhone SE has lost 2 GB of RAM, like the iPhone 6S. Also no lags. The phone works smoothly and without problems. I definitely won’t. The iPhone 5S is even shorter and a little more beautiful than the previous 6S. At the presentation, Apple showed that the new iPhone SE is on par with the iPhone 6S in terms of productivity and outweighs the fluidity of the work and the weight of the iPhone 5S by 2 times. And the graphic chip supercharges the iPhone 5S this morning.

How much memory does the iPhone SE have?

The iPhone SE's memory was limited to 16 GB and 64 GB. So, only two models will be available. The same topic is already available from 16 GB. In 2016, the Russians are putting a premium on it, but it’s not worth it for the support of capturing 4K video. Well, it’s clear that this is a marketing move and that they are pursuing the concept of the iPhone 6S. Maybe everything will change when we come out.

What OS does the iPhone SE run on?

iPhone SE comes with iOS 9.3 on board. And it will definitely support iOS 10 and future ones, right up to iOS 13.

Video look around iPhone SE

Video review - from iPhone 5S to iPhone SE

Axis and everything at a glance iPhone SE. Zagalom garniy device. Especially for those who don’t like big screens on their phones. Good replacement for iPhone 5, iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. And the price really pleased me. This is the best available iPhone in the world today. The filling is perfect, it has a charming camera like the iPhone 6S, a powerful and smooth processor, a beautiful rose gold color to make this iPhone the best among 4-inch iPhones, current and relevant.

The iPhone SE smartphone, unimportant to those who knew about it long before its release, shook the rich people and cried out for food. Who else buys 4-inch iPhones? Doesn't Apple hate it if it has this design? You can confirm that the response to food is positive, but after getting on the phone it becomes clear that this is not of any significance. Regardless of the reasons why the company decided not to invest in this new device, the iPhone SE (photo posted in the article) is, however, a wonderful smartphone both for those using iOS and for those with small hands.

Summary

Just because the new iPhone SE looks like an old-fashioned device doesn't mean it functions like one. In a well-known and apparently inexpensive form, Apple managed to squeeze in the productivity of the flagship level and the greatest hour of autonomous work, which the iPhone demonstrates for a long time. The device rejects several thin 6s, and its screen for which may be too small, but the SE is the smallest compact smartphone that the company has ever produced.

iPhone SE phone: what is it?

As you can tell, it's iPhone 6s and 5s. On this, in principle, one can argue. I want this statement to be more simplified, but it’s more accurate. All the talk about how to treat the Model 6s like this one is present here, only now they are squeezed into a body, the size of which, it seemed, was not destined to be built again. Apple could have taken the economical route and sold the sixth iPhone to a smaller size, and in this case it could have been less than happy about the fact that it didn’t happen. The productivity of the phone will be discussed below, but the A9 chipset with the M9 displacement processor, which is featured in the SE, is an exact copy of the company’s flagship models, starting with a clock frequency of up to 2 GB of RAM, depending on pairings. In short, SE does not seem to provide a different device.

This is expanding and its design. The iPhone SE 64 GB is also lightweight and foldable, like the 5S, but with low capacity. In fact, besides the appearance of a rose gold color on the iPhone SE Rose Gold, which the 5s did not have, there are only two changes: the SE logo on the back panel and matte chamfers along the flat edges of the phone. If you like the old-school design of the iPhone 5s, you will feel at home. And if you don’t, then you won’t be able to buy this smartphone every time.

The third group is starting: buyers who like the design of the 5s, and then a generation of great screens has opened. And for them to turn to a small telephone after two fates spent from their homeland would be wonderful. They wonder how they could have been using small screens for so long? Customers will now be unable to type text messages on the compact on-screen keyboard, as was previously the case. In addition, there is frustration with how little text can fit on the smaller display.

The more beautiful the less, the more beautiful

Prote size has its advantages. Under the influence of power users, after months of the decline of great smartphones (iPhone 6s Plus, Galaxy Note 5 and Nexus 6p, etc.), the right hand begins to get stressed. She quickly gets tired and begins to feel ill, especially when trying to reach the bottom edge of the phone with her little finger or when stretching her thumb with the screen to press against the corner. Tyzhneve vikoristannya SE is similar to a mini-vacation for the hand. A small display is not for everyone, but you can’t tell that the SE is an even handier small device.

The iPhone SE 64GB Space Gray in gray color has 64 GB of storage. The maximum is 64, because iOS 9.3 takes up the same place, and 55.7 GB are no longer available. It's not surprising that the cob model comes with 16 GB of memory, but you want to be aware of what will happen if the company takes away so little space for data and software programs. This is just one of the compromises that one has to make when switching to such a form factor at such a price. For example, any modification that includes the iPhone SE 64GB Gray does not have 3D Touch. On the buttons to go to the home screen, it is brought up to the first generation, not like the Swede, like the 6s. The front camera has a 1.2 megapixel edge back to the fifth model.

Along with the already mentioned gray and rye-golden body colors, there is an Apple iPhone SE Gold and Silver silver shade.

Image and sound

You can definitely say about the screen of the iPhone SE that it is identical to the display of the 5s. The Win, as before, operates with a separate 1136 x 640 resolution, which also means a higher pixel density of 326 pixels per inch (the same as the 6s). If you marvel not at the numbers, but at the screen itself, you can see that it is as bright and intense as an old clock. Tim doesn't know, buyers of 6s will need an hour to call the display. The screen is darker than the 6s or 6s Plus, and the color temperature is warmer. In any case, the greatest importance here is the use of 3D Touch, which is more sensitive than others. Even those buyers who actually adopted 3D Touch gestures when the 6s appeared, now rarely use them. Therefore, iPhone owners with experience may not worry about the absence of this function, and newcomers may not worry about it.

There is one speaker, which has been developed in the lower part of the SE, is louder and louder, especially at high and mid frequencies. For any long-term listening, you still need a pair of headphones, but the speakers are powerful enough to play YouTube videos and add charm to your favorite soundtrack.

Software security

The Apple iPhone 5 SE comes with iOS 9.3 firmware, but it does not provide many particularly important functions. The most notable addition is Night Shift, a function that can automatically lower the color temperature of the screen to make it easier to watch at night. This is not a completely new idea. Programs such as f.lux could be running on your desktop in a lot of ways. The crisp whites and warm colors will make evening reading easier. Instead, to set a specific schedule for switching to night mode, you can manually adjust the screen's warmth. Theoretically, changing the color can help ease the sleep cycle, but as a result, the user will remove the drab orange display. It doesn't help that customers fall asleep, but we hope that there will be those who will benefit from this function.

In addition, it is now possible to block song recordings in the Notes program. It does not require you to enter a password or place your finger on the finger sensor. And Verizon subscribers have decided to deny the ability to make Wi-Fi calls to their friends (others have been unable to do so for quite some time). The Health program now provides information about food. This program is especially suitable for mothers on SE: the smaller size of the device allows the phone to be an accepting companion in training.

This addition of “News” has become a little more beautiful than the meaning, which topics the authors give greater importance. Although Donald Trump's demands are still overestimated, it is certainly a symptom of a larger problem. With iOS 9.3 firmware, 3D Touch has become more versatile, but it is obvious that the usual gesture does not function here. Such is life.

It’s not surprising that many phone users experience the wonderful work of Sira after turning on voice activation. When listening to an audiobook on the Audible app, the passages from it, using phrases that are not at all similar to “Hey, Siri,” called to life a virtual assistant, a splendid puzzle of random dialogue cues. The same book on 6s did not produce such an effect.

Camera

The iPhone 6s camera is amazing. And the fragments in SE are like that, then there is no doubt about its rage. It’s true that the little ones are getting smaller for the following reasons: the Apple iPhone 5 SE is getting smaller, this day there is an inexorable bulge, present among representatives of the sixth generation. This is an argument for you about the cost of these phones.

At any time, we can talk for a long time about how the company’s deeply layered defense does not allow light to be shed on the dark-covered vessel photodiodes, but in which there is no need. All you really need to know is the building's telephone number, complete reports, beautiful color photographs. The photos on the SE and 6s Plus are almost identical. True, the rest is in the lead when it comes to photography in low light conditions, which results in optical stabilization of the image.

In low light conditions, the smartphone handles smoothly, maintaining a minimal level of noise, but buyers give the advantage to the Galaxy S7 camera. SE also shoots video that looks smooth and evenly exposed, but when the lenses are released they collapse. This is possible, of course, good mother, but with 16 GB of memory - and there is a lot to be gained from it - video gamers, obviously, will not want to remove a video of such high capacity.

And two more speeches about which to guess. First, iPhone SE encourages the capture of “live photos”, images that collapse, which add a little sense and context to the photos. If there is no 3D Touch, the program will launch a trival procedure by pressing the Live Photo button. Otherwise, selfies don’t come out as good as on 6s. Apple did not dare to paint the 1.2-megapixel front camera at the top of the device, although the 5-megapixel sensor on the 6s does not take up much more space. As a result, the photographs come out more elegant. I want the stink to be suitable for Instagram, but to reduce the stinkiness, as the matrix is ​​created with great separateness. The new SE is equipped with a Retina screen, which covers the phone screen to ensure extra brightness.

Productivity

SE is more tight, the bottom can be mistaken for its old-fashioned appearance. Pairing the current Apple A9 chipset with 2 GB of RAM is enough for the device to work effortlessly, from fluttering home screens and switching between programs to launching graphically intensive games. Since the company released a budget 4-inch phone for the first time (not the same iPhone 5c), it became obsolete from the very beginning. The challenge of squeezing the contents of your flagship mobile phone into a small $399 iPhone is daunting. For the first time, it has become clear that it is possible to become a 4-inch model without sacrificing productivity for size.

Below are the results of the phone test. Its productivity is more or less consistent with the speed of the most expensive Apple models.

Table of test results for iPhone SE vs 6, 6s, 6s+.

Hour of autonomous robot

When Apple decided to release data about the battery capacity of the SE, some customers complained. Ale turbuvatisya ne varto. You can remain calm, but you can use your phone all day, and then for another hour. After charging for the ninth morning after the 11th year, the robot still loses 30-40% of its charge. According to Vlasnik, the devices can be lost without recharging for up to 24 years, which is why they stink.

A video test that runs in continuously created high-definition videos with Wi-Fi turned on and screen brightness set to 50 pixels, showing 13 years 40 hours of iPhone SE operation. The importance of the 50-hundred-hundred-hundred-hundred-second-half-second increase in autonomous operation of the battery is significant, and the model, as before, has the shortest performance of all iPhones. It’s amazing that such a miniature body has so much energy.

Price and brightness

The iPhone SE's advantages over other top-end models stand out when considering the increased power and strength - the 16GB model is the cheapest new phone Apple has ever released. Therefore, he occupies a special place with the company’s line of mobile devices. There are no more reasons to buy the 5s; the reason is that potential smartphone owners should buy the SE or 6s. You could also include an iPhone 6 here, but the 6s costs only $100 more. As already mentioned, the 6s shares the SE, but also has a large 4.7-inch screen. Do this manually, otherwise the battery life of the autonomous robot will decrease.

If someone wants to spend close to $400 on a smartphone and has no taste for Apple, then you can consider the LG and Google Nexus 5X option. It also delivers good performance at a reasonable price, and its plastic casing doesn't match the premium look of the iPhone SE. What kind of phone it is becomes obvious when you know the high power of the Snapdragon 808 chipset, which is used in Google Android N, which supports multi-screen multi-tasking.

Visnovok

The biggest disadvantage of the iPhone SE is its size, and that's obvious. If it weren’t for the fact that it’s easy for him to handle with one hand, it would be impossible to understand why Apple is attracted to his creation. The smaller size, insanely, miraculously, is felt in the stomach during the hour of a walk. The tightness of a telephone is offensive. Considering the performance of the processor that Apple managed to put into a smaller phone, it's surprising that it doesn't overheat or reduce battery life. Although I don’t want to show off the greatest displays in Galuzia, but the iPhone with the best hour of autonomous work, which is worthy of riches. The SE doesn't retain its charge as well as other iPhones while watching media files, but compared to the 5S, a short time ahead. The camera is strong and clear, and there will be many changes in the number of pictures.

The design of the phone is outdated. It is impossible to know otherwise that Apple did not create a smaller version of the iPhone 6s, except for the reduced savings. Also, the outdated technology of the screen is not befitting for hobbyists. However, there are minor changes, but the old display of the iPhone 5 2012 is almost a few years old. And the images on the phone play an important role. The Vlasnik phone is not able to turn the screen upside down. You will be even more embarrassed.

It can be said for sure about the iPhone SE that it is a smartphone that is not suitable for people who have become more spacious screens, regardless of the strange bulges that are created in their guts. As much as you marvel at the SE or at the new Apple product, you know everything, sense. The phone is definitely cheap and will be useful for people who want to get rid of their old flip phone. This small size will suit those who have modernized iPhones, since the stinks have become so great. Ale nagolovne – vin pouzhny. Apple wearers should expect to begin selling this model in the spring, since this device is not intended for them. If you want to get a first-class smartphone that won’t empty your guts or hurt your hand, then the iPhone SE deserves a place on the list of contenders.

Many users of the iPhone SE were able to see the main advantages and shortcomings of the 4-inch Apple smartphone released in 2016.

Advantages of iPhone SE

The good old 4-inch form factor

Millions of sophisticated women in the valley missed the small, hand-shaped frames of old gadgets. The same can be said about the large army of Asian buyers, about toddlers and children. Rotating the display to a 4-inch diagonal and proportional dimensions to the body is a clear plus. Not degradation, but brightness, rethinking the concept of a smart phone for all types of life.

A9 processor

Small, but successful - the iPhone SE is a little compromised by the flagship models, but does not come close to productivity. Those who have not yet replaced their old iPhone 5 are in for a surprise from among the adoptees. It looks like the same device, but the filling in it is the most advanced, I would like to take the new version of the A9 processor, no modifications with reduced functionality. The remaining official will become one of the newcomer’s most important marketing advantages over competitors.

M9 and continuous activity of Siri

The gadget also received a function from others, which was first demonstrated here. The power of the M9 processor has become sufficient for its role as a full-fledged defender of the main chip at a time, such as connecting to save energy or simply blocking the smartphone. In situations like these, you can still shout “Hey Siri” and get away with it. It’s okay, don’t tell me.

Color "Rozheve Gold"

The iPhone SE can still be used with the lower-end iPhone 6s model. This indicates, for example, that the heirloom rice is characteristic - a fermentation of the “Rozhevo Zoloto” body, first sold in 2015. Although it's not uncommon, this color is still unavailable to many devices in the range of Apple products. And the iPhone SE smartphone has been removed - to the delight of those who like to put a pill in their eyes without a lot of expense.

Presentable view of the Apple logo

This is not a metal stamping, but a framed part made of stainless steel, carefully placed in its rightful place. The logo serves as a kind of inlay, embellishment for the body of the smartphone, although this is not entirely logical in view of the minimization of the product’s quality. Otherwise, it’s just on such inexpensive, less noticeable details for the sake of getting buyers to save money.

Correct silhouette of the edges

The iPhone 5s model was distinguished by exceptional ergonomics; after the transition to the phablet format, Cupertino engineers had to sharpen the bevels of the edges - the edges became rounded. iPhone SE has lost its old design on the side edges. Handy for grip and theft from rips and chips.

2 GB RAM

It’s a small downside for Apple, as it didn’t just satisfy one of the key concerns of its customers, but it didn’t skimp on solutions for the budget model. We are talking about continuing the transition from the inevitable fate of a permanently uninterrupted gigabyte of RAM to the replacement of a valuable resource. Never mind, without official confirmation, but the iPhone SE model still required the required 2 GB of RAM - goodbye, clutter in the Safari robot, unmotivated frozen iOS and other unacceptable factors.

12 MP iSight camera

Another example of the fact that the costly new items will not feel too pinched in the level with the rulers of the flagship devices. Their main cameras of the iSight series are identical - the same matrix design, the same f2.2 aperture, and a different set of additional modules. Whether it’s video recording or selfies, everything is on par with the operator’s skills and not the capabilities of the equipment.

The body is thick, but there is no camera lens, but the ring protrudes

It’s true, no, no, that’s all said.

Support for 4K video format

iPhone SE not only has a high capacity, but also implements almost all aspects of operation with the most popular format. For example, it is possible to merge multiple streams into a single video using iMovie. Or digital zoom and virtual panning are for those who do not intend to create 4K, but are not interested in increasing the comfort of work when creating video from a separate source at 1080p.

Slow-mo capture at 240 fps

Copied from iPhone 6s – the new smartphone supports advanced video recording modes. It is also produced at a frequency of 240 fps, the brightness level is 720p, and at 120 fps, and also in separate formats, similar to 1080p. Poperednik, an old 4-inch gadget, also known from slow-mo, prote vmіv much less.

Sleeping Retina-Flash

The technology, first implemented in the iPhone 6s model, allows you to neutralize a small amount of light when working with the front camera of a smartphone. The additional light source is the display itself, which in the other version is the same as in the previous version. What is more important, the concept of “contradictions” – it is smarter and more necessary that the brightness be developed precisely on the basis of the sensors in the FaceTime camera of the last generation. Unfortunately, the iPhone SE smartphone has dropped the old front-facing module, and you would like to be able to highlight it yourself when taking a selfie, otherwise you will not be able to take advantage of the really smart flagship camera.

Support Live Photos

One of the cosmetic functions of the remaining generation of Apple gadgets is theoretically supported on older models. However, only the format has been created – the iPhone SE is modified to be able to take live photos. There is nothing fundamentally new, the same automatic storage of videos and the addition of short animated inserts before and after a static image. Let's take a look at fashion.

Problems with the Apple Pay payment system

This service was initially expanded to include a wide range of iPhone models, and at the same time, the need for an NFC chip and a “secure enclave” key storage in the mobile device was eliminated. And those, even in the iPhone SE, for the rest - you don’t have to use the Apple Watch companion gadget for shopping for an additional smartphone.

Swedish connection

More, less than the iPhone 5s, and less than the performance of the current flagship - the result is a nasty average result. The iPhone SE model is equipped with drone-free Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi 802.11ac and 19-band LTE modules with a peak throughput of up to 150 Mb/s.

The energy system has been optimized

There is less space in the middle of the body, but today's compact batteries. An advanced and energy-efficient display, but with a 4-inch diagonal, it is not as lightweight as similar phablet units. Overall, these two factors ensured that the iPhone SE had shorter battery life than the iPhone 5s.
