It is the first 4-inch phone to be
unveiled since the iPhone 5s and 5c and was announced at a press
conference in San Francisco alongside a new 9.7-inch iPad Pro.
Apple’s boss Tim Cook opened the event by
revealing there are now one billion active Apple devices globally, and
he revealed the Watch price will now be $299, down from $349 in the US,
and £259 down from £299 in the UK.
The iPhone SE is said to have the same
performance as the 6S and ‘delivers incredible battery improvements’ –
although Apple did not give any specifics.
It has a 12MP iSight camera with True Tone
flash and can capture 4K video, edit up to 2 streams and has TouchID
for Apple Pay built in.
Prices for the iPhone SE start at $399 in
the US and £359 in the UK, and will be available in space grey, silver,
gold and rose gold metallic finishes in 16GB and 64GB.
In addition to the iPhone SE, Apple unveiled a new 9.7-inch iPad Pro.
It has nearly identical features and
specifications as the bigger model, with an A9X processor and RAM
upgrades from the 12.9-inch model.
