The iPhone 5 se is out. Review of the smartphone Apple iPhone SE: more is not better. How long will the iPhone SE be up to date? What firmware will it support

What will be the iPhone SE 2? Told all the available details.

iPhone SE 2 is Apple's long-awaited and truly desired smartphone, which has not yet been announced. On October 3, 2019, it became known that iPhone SE 2 will still be released! The launch of the smartphone was confirmed by Ming-Chi Kuo, the most authoritative analyst from the world of Apple. In this article, we have collected all the reliable information about the iPhone SE 2 - no unverified rumors, only leaks from the most trusted sources.

Note: We will be updating this thread with fresh, reliable leaks until the official release of the iPhone SE 2. Stay tuned!

iPhone SE 2 - coming or not?

Let's start with the main question that interests most fans of compact smartphones. Is Apple really developing the iPhone SE 2 and getting ready to release it?

Over the past few years, there have been a huge number of rumors about the iPhone SE 2. Various sources, which are now unheard of, predicted the release of the iPhone SE 2 at different times. But the smartphone is still not released.

However, on October 3, 2019, there was still a reliable confirmation of the soon release of the iPhone SE 2. The most authoritative analyst from the Apple world, Ming-Chi Kuo, said that the iPhone SE 2 will be released in early 2020.

Design

According to Kuo, The iPhone SE 2 will be similar to the 4.7-inch iPhone 8. The similarity will be great, since Apple will actually create a new smartphone based on the components of the iPhone 8. This means that the iPhone SE 2 will receive a case with slightly rounded corners and edges.

Whether the back surface will be glass (like the iPhone 8) or the aluminum specialist did not specify. Note that if the iPhone SE 2 will have a glass case, the device will receive support for wireless charging.

The smartphone will be released in three colors: space grey, silver and red.

Display

The iPhone SE 2 won't be as compact as its 4-inch predecessor. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, The smartphone will be equipped with a 4.7-inch LCD display with a resolution of 750 × 1334 pixels and an aspect ratio of 16:9. It is expected to be exactly the same display as the iPhone 8, with relatively wide bezels around the perimeter.

Specifications

The system on the Apple A13 Bionic processor will be responsible for the performance of the iPhone SE 2. This is the flagship chip that is used in smartphones. iPhone 11 , iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Thus, the inexpensive iPhone SE will have the most powerful processor among mobile devices. This will allow him to freely run any applications, including games from Apple Arcade.

The actual performance of the A13 Bionic processor is known. In "live" tests, the processor is ahead of all current chips from Qualcomm. In synthetic tests, the processor also has no equal. In the Geekbench benchmark, the A13 Bionic chip scores 5472 points in single-core mode and 13769 points in multi-core mode. It is noteworthy that the still unannounced flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor has the worst performance.

The A13 Bionic processor is supported by the 3rd generation Neural Engine machine learning system. Thereby iPhone SE 2 is set to feature Night Mode and a special Deep Fusion shooting mode exclusive to the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max.

The smartphone will have 3 GB of RAM, 32 or 128 GB of storage, depending on the configuration.

Battery

The exact capacity of the iPhone SE battery is not yet known. However, there are assumptions that should be close to reality. iPhone SE 2 will be similar to the iPhone 8 in many ways, including the location of components. This means that the smartphone will receive a battery similar in capacity to the iPhone 8. Expected that iPhone SE battery capacity will be about 1821 mAh.

Touch ID or Face ID?

iPhone SE 2 will receive a touch-sensitive Home button with a second-generation Touch ID fingerprint scanner built into it. The smartphone will not have the Face ID face scanning function.

iPhone SE 2 cameras

In his report, Ming-Chi Kuo did not specify what kind of cameras the new iPhone SE 2 will have. In this regard, there is only speculation regarding the cameras of Apple's next budget smartphone. They are based on information that the iPhone SE 2 will be similar to the iPhone 8 in many ways.

Probably, the new iPhone SE 2 will borrow from the iPhone 8 and the camera. In this case, the main camera of the smartphone will be single with a resolution of 12 megapixels (aperture f / 1.8). The front camera of the smartphone will receive a resolution of 7 megapixels (aperture f / 2.2).

iPhone SE 2 price

According to reports, the iPhone SE 2 will be priced the same as the original iPhone SE - $399 for the base version with 32GB of storage and $499 for the 128GB model. In Russia, the iPhone SE 2 will be priced at 35,990 rubles. and 44,990 rubles. respectively. October 14 iPhone SE 2 cost confirmed analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

• The price of the iPhone SE 2 is from 35,990 rubles.

Should we wait for the release of the iPhone SE 2?

After rumors about the iPhone SE 2 began to appear more and more often, many fans of Apple technology faced another important question. WITH Should I wait for the release of the iPhone SE 2 and not buy other iPhone models yet? However, even more often, such a modification of the question comes to us - “Is it worth buying the iPhone SE or is it better to wait for the iPhone SE 2?”.

It is important to understand that initially iPhone SE 2 will definitely not be budget, remember this. First, the new iPhone SE 2 will be sold at a price of more than 35 thousand rubles. The price of a smartphone will drop to a more pleasant 20-25 thousand rubles only a year after the start of sales.

When will the iPhone SE 2 be released?

Let's draw a conclusion from the above. iPhone SE 2 will be presented at Apple's March 2020 presentation.

In the lineup of iOS-devices there is iPhone SE - a compact smartphone with impressive features and a great camera.

Externally, the iPhone SE is very similar to the 2013 model, the iPhone 5s. However, inside they have significant differences.

External differences

iPhone SE is available in four color options: Space Grey, Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold. The iPhone 5s in rose gold does not exist.

iPhone SE has improved matte edges. Therefore, even with inaccurate use, the iPhone SE is less prone to minor scratches.

The iPhone SE has the Apple logo in brushed metal and the “SE” badge on the back bottom of the smartphone.

Internal differences

Battery

Thanks to the updated “stuffing” and an increased battery (1624 mAh versus 1560 mAh for the iPhone 5s), the autonomy of the iPhone SE allows you to use your smartphone 2-3 hours longer than 5s.

iPhone SE will last 13 hours of active use on 4G LTE networks, Wi-Fi or video playback and up to 50 hours of non-stop music playback. By comparison, the iPhone 5s could last up to 10 hours of talk time, 10 hours of video playback, or 40 hours of music playback.

RAM

The iPhone SE has 2GB of RAM, while the iPhone 5s has 1GB less.

Therefore, the performance of the iPhone SE is much higher - now you can open a dozen pages in Safari, minimize the browser, launch a resource-intensive game or other application, then open the browser again and not worry that the pages will reload again, wasting bandwidth and time.

CPU

Inside the iPhone SE is the latest proprietary A9 chip, similar to that of the iPhone 6s.

In performance tests, the SE scores 4421 points. For comparison, the iPhone 5s, which has an A7 processor, scores 2555 points.

The A9 processor guarantees the high speed of the iPhone SE. Even when running resource-intensive applications and games, the system will not slow down.

Coprocessor M9

In iPhone SE, in addition to the main A9 processor, an M9 co-processor is installed, which directly interacts with the compass, gyroscope and accelerometer.

Therefore, the smartphone collects and analyzes statistics about physical activity more accurately, and also allows you to use the “Hey Siri” function even when iPhone SE is not connected to the network.

The iPhone SE also supports the Raise to Wake feature in iOS 10, when in order to see notifications on the lock screen, you just need to lift your smartphone off the table.

Camera

The iPhone SE has one of the best cameras in smartphones, with a resolution of 12 megapixels.

When photographing with the front camera, the new Retina Flash feature for selfies is activated: the screen brightness increases several times compared to the normal state. At the beginning of the process, the screen lights up in a cold white color, after which it changes its hue to a warm amber.

The result is a photograph with realistic color reproduction and natural skin tone.

The video function also pleasantly surprises with the quality: unlike the iPhone 5s, where the video resolution is 1920x1080 pixels, and slow motion is possible at 120 fps, the iPhone SE records video at 4K resolution (3840x2160 pixels) at 30 fps and slow motion at 240 fps.

If the iPhone 5s shot well with an 8-megapixel camera, then the iPhone SE shoots just fine.

Live Photos

Like iPhone 6s and later, iPhone SE supports Live Photos when you take photos.

If you press your finger on a photo taken on the iPhone SE, then the picture will literally “come to life”. You will see a few seconds before the snapshot is taken and a few seconds after.

This feature in iPhone SE expands the photo experience and allows you to experience unforgettable moments of nostalgia, looking at photos come to life under your fingers. The iPhone 5s does not have this feature.

Conclusion

iPhone SE will appeal to those who want to get a modern smartphone, but in a compact package.

While the iPhone SE and iPhone 5s are similar in appearance, the SE model has many undeniable advantages that will give you the joy of using Apple products.

The iPhone SE smartphone, despite the fact that it was known long before its release, made many wonder and raised a lot of questions. Does anyone else buy 4-inch iPhones? Isn't Apple playing with fire with this design? It can be argued that the answer to both questions is yes, but after getting to know the phone, it becomes clear that this does not matter. Regardless of the reasons that forced the company to go for the creation of this device, the iPhone SE (photo posted later in the article) is equally a great smartphone for both beginners to get acquainted with the iOS OS, and for users with small hands.

Summary

Just because the new iPhone SE looks like an old-fashioned device doesn't mean it functions the same way. In a familiar and relatively inexpensive form, Apple has managed to squeeze in flagship-level performance and the best battery life that an iPhone has had for years. It lacks some of the niceties of the 6s and its screen might be too small for some, but the SE is the best compact smartphone the company has ever made.

iPhone SE phone: what is it?

If you answer quickly, then this is an iPhone 6s in a 5s body. On this, in principle, you can stop. Although this statement is greatly simplified, it is true. Almost all of the things that make the 6s what it is are here, only now they're compressed into a body that never seemed to be seen again. Apple could have taken the economically conscious route of offering a smaller iPhone 6, in which case we can only be glad that didn't happen. The phone's performance will be discussed below, but the A9 chipset with the M9 motion processor used in the SE is a replica of the company's flagship models, from its clock speed to the 2GB of RAM it's paired with. In short, the SE doesn't feel like a second-rate device.

This also applies to its design. The iPhone SE 64 GB is just as light and well-built as the 5S two years ago, with a few minor differences. In fact, aside from the introduction of rose gold to the iPhone SE Rose Gold, which the 5s didn't have, there are only two changes: the SE logo on the back and matte bevels around the phone's flat edges. If someone liked the old school design of the iPhone 5s, then they will feel right at home. And if not, then he was not going to purchase this smartphone anyway.

There is a third camp: buyers who liked the design of the 5s and then opened the big screen generation. And for them to return to a small phone after two years spent with the sixth family, it would be strange. They wonder how they could use small screens for so long? Shoppers, even after a week, can't type text messages on the cramped on-screen keyboard as they used to. In addition, there is a sense of frustration at how little text can fit on a smaller display.

Better less is better

However, size has its advantages. According to owners, after months of using large smartphones (iPhone 6s Plus, Galaxy Note 5 and Nexus 6p, etc.), the right hand is in a rather tense state. She gets tired quickly and starts to hurt, especially when trying to reach the bottom edge of the phone with her little finger or when stretching her thumb across the screen to tap something in the corner. A week of SE use is like a mini-vacation for the hand. The small display isn't for everyone, but there's no denying that the SE is a very handy little device.

The tested iPhone SE 64GB Space Gray phone in gray color has 64 GB of internal memory. Nearly 64, since IOS 9.3 takes up some space, leaving 55.7 GB available. It's no surprise that the entry-level model comes with 16GB of storage, but hopefully this is the last time the company leaves so little room for user data and programs. This is just one of the compromises that have to be made, moving to such a form factor at such a price. For example, none of the modifications, including the iPhone SE 64GB Gray, has 3D Touch. on the home screen buttons are from the first generation, which is not as fast as in 6s. And the front camera is a 1.2-megapixel step back to the fifth model.

In addition to the already mentioned gray and rose-gold body colors, the Apple iPhone SE Gold is produced in gold and silver in silver.

Image and sound

We can confidently say about the screen of the iPhone SE that it is a complete match for the 5s display. It still runs at 1136 x 640, which also means the same pixel density of 326dpi (same as the 6s). If you look not at the numbers, but at the screen itself, you can see that it is as bright and saturated as in the old days. However, 6s buyers will need some time to get used to the display. The screen is slightly darker than the 6s or 6s Plus, and the color temperature is slightly warmer. If anything, the biggest difference here is the loss of 3D Touch, which some will feel more keenly than others. But some buyers, who enthusiastically embraced 3D Touch gestures when the 6s arrived, now rarely use them. Therefore, iPhone owners with experience may not worry about the lack of this function, and beginners will not even notice its absence.

The single speaker located at the bottom of the SE, meanwhile, is a lot louder than you might expect, especially in the highs and mids. Any long-term listening will still need a pair of headphones, but the speaker packs enough power to sound YouTube videos and spice up your favorite soundtrack.

Software

The Apple iPhone 5 SE ships with iOS 9.3, which doesn't add many critical features. If anything, the most notable addition is Night Shift, a feature that can automatically lower the screen's color temperature to ease eye strain at night. This is not a completely new idea. Applications like f.lux have been able to do this on the desktop for years. Compared to regular white, warm colors really make evening reading easier. Instead of setting a specific night mode schedule, you can manually adjust the screen's warmth. In theory, the color change should help ease the sleep cycle, but the result is an annoying orange display. According to customer reviews, this does not help them fall asleep faster, but there is hope that there will be those who will find this feature useful.

In addition, it is now possible to block certain entries in the Notes application. Opening them requires a password or placing a finger on the touch fingerprint sensor. And Verizon subscribers are finally able to make Wi-Fi calls to their friends (others have been able to use this for some time). The Health app now takes into account nutrition data. This program is especially nice to have on the SE: the smaller size of the device allows the phone to be a more enjoyable workout companion.

Yes, and the News app has become a little better at determining which topics users prefer. While it still overestimates Donald Trump's relevance, this is likely a symptom of a larger problem. With iOS 9.3, 3D Touch has become more diverse, but it is obvious that not a single gesture works here. That is life.

Oddly enough, some phone owners are experiencing strange Siri behavior after turning on the voice activation setting. When listening to an audiobook in the Audible app, snippets of it with phrases that didn't sound like "Hey Siri" brought a virtual assistant to life, puzzled by a puzzle of random snippets of dialogue. The same book on 6s did not cause a similar effect.

Camera

The iPhone 6s camera is great. And since it is exactly the same in SE, there is no doubt about its quality. In fact, it's even slightly better for the following reason: The Apple iPhone 5 SE is slightly thicker, lacking the awkward bulge found on the sixth generation. Here's an argument in favor of thicker phones.

In any case, we can talk for a long time about how the company's defense in depth does not allow shedding light on the neighboring photodiodes covered with darkness, but this is not necessary. All you really need to know is that the phone is capable of capturing amazingly detailed, beautiful color photos. The shots on the SE and 6s Plus are almost identical. True, the latter leads the way when it comes to photography in low light conditions, as it has optical image stabilization.

In low light, the smartphone performs well, keeping the noise level to a minimum, although buyers prefer the Galaxy S7's camera. The SE is also capable of shooting video that looks smooth and evenly exposed, even when tracking moving subjects. It's certainly nice to have this capability, but with 16GB of storage - and many would agree - users probably won't want to shoot videos of that high quality.

There are two other things worth mentioning. First, the iPhone SE supports "live photos," moving images that add a bit of feeling and context to your shots. Since there is no 3D Touch, a long press on the Live Photo button will start the program. Secondly, selfies are not as good as on 6s. Apple hasn't bothered to improve the 1.2MP front-facing camera on the top of the device, though the 6s' 5MP sensor doesn't take up much more space. As a result, the photos are noisier. Although they are suitable for Instagram, they lack the liveliness that a matrix with a higher resolution is capable of. At least the SE is equipped with Retina flash, which uses the phone's screen to provide extra brightness.

Performance

The SE is more powerful than its old-fashioned looks might suggest. The combination of Apple's state-of-the-art A9 chipset with 2GB of RAM is enough to keep the device running effortlessly, from swiping through home screens and switching between apps to running graphics-intensive games. The last time the company released a budget 4-inch phone (it was a second-rate iPhone 5c), it felt dated from the start. But being able to cram your flagship cell phone into a small $399 iPhone is impressive. For the first time in years, it's possible to own a 4-inch model without sacrificing performance for size.

Below are the test results of the phone. Its performance more or less matches that of the most expensive Apple models.

Test results table iPhone SE vs 6, 6s, 6s+.

Battery Life

When Apple refused to release the SE's battery capacity data, some users freaked out. But there was no need to worry. You can be calm, as the phone is able to withstand the whole day, and then some more. After charging at nine in the morning after 11 hours of work, there is still 30-40% of the charge. According to the owners, the device can stay without recharging for more than 24 hours, which they are very happy about.

The video test, which consisted of continuous playback of high-definition video with Wi-Fi on and the screen brightness set to 50 percent, showed 13 hours and 40 minutes of iPhone SE operation. The differences with the manufacturer's claimed 50% increase in battery life are obvious, but the model is still the best indicator of all iPhones. It's amazing that so much energy is contained in such a miniature case.

Price and quality

With the iPhone SE, the difference from other top models becomes noticeable when you evaluate the combination of cost and power - the 16 GB model is the cheapest new phone Apple has ever released. Therefore, it occupies a special place in the line of mobile devices of the company. There is no reason left to buy 5s, so the question is whether potential smartphone owners should buy SE or 6s. The iPhone 6 could have been included, but the 6s costs only $100 more. As said, the 6s shares the power of the SE but has a larger 4.7-inch screen. This is quite convenient, but the battery life is reduced.

If someone has a desire to spend about $400 on a smartphone and is not tied to Apple, then you can consider the option from LG and Google's Nexus 5X. It also delivers good performance at a reasonable price, but its plastic body doesn't compare to the top-notch looks of the iPhone SE. What kind of phone it is becomes clear when you get acquainted with the huge power of the Snapdragon 808 chipset, which will run Google Android N, which supports multi-screen multitasking.

Conclusion

The biggest downside of the iPhone SE is its size, and that's obvious. But if it wasn't for the fact that it's easy to operate with one hand, it would be impossible to understand why Apple went for it. The smaller size certainly feels great in your hand and in your pocket while walking. The power that the phone is endowed with is impressive. Considering the performance of the processor that Apple has been able to fit into the smaller phone, it's surprising that it doesn't overheat or reduce battery life. While not the best in the industry, this is an iPhone with good battery life that many will enjoy. The SE doesn't hold a charge as well as other iPhones when browsing media, but compared to the 5S, it's a step up. The camera is powerful and sharp, and many will be surprised by the change in image quality.

Phone design is outdated. There is no other explanation for why Apple didn't create a smaller version of the iPhone 6s other than for cost reasons. Also, users do not like the outdated screen technology. Minor changes aside, this is an old 2012 iPhone 5 display from almost four years ago. And the image on the phone plays an important role. The owner of the phone should not compare the screen with for example. He will be very upset.

It's safe to say about the iPhone SE that it's not a smartphone for people who welcomed the appearance of more spacious screens, even despite the strange bulges it creates in pockets. If you look at the SE as a new Apple product, everything makes sense. The phone is relatively cheap, which will be tempting for people who want to finally get rid of their old flip phone. Its small size will suit those who stopped upgrading iPhones when they got too big. But most importantly, it's powerful. Apple fans should wait until the release of the seventh model in September, as this device was not intended for them. If you want a top-of-the-line smartphone that won't empty your pockets or hurt your hand, then the iPhone SE deserves a place on the contenders list.

In the second half of March 2016, the head of Apple presented the new iPhone SE to the world. On the same day, the main characteristics of the new device and the date of its release in the world and the Russian Federation were announced. Tim Cook also announced the approximate price of the gadget, which surprised the public a lot. It turned out that, despite many advantages, the phone is quite budget. Subsequently, this factor had a great influence on the popularity of the iPhone SE.

Already during the presentation, attentive viewers noticed that the SE resembles the design of the fifth iPhone. And, it should be noted, the characteristics of the device also did not impress potential buyers of the novelty. Whether they changed their mind after purchasing the gadget or were even more disappointed - we will try to figure it out in our review.

The Russian user deciphered the abbreviation in the name of the new iPhone as Special Edition. But what exactly this model is good for is easiest to identify by comparing it with gadgets of the fifth and sixth line. At the presentation, it was said that the new device is not inferior in performance to the two closest predecessors. However, the size of the SE, as everyone immediately noticed, turned out to be significantly smaller than other phones from Apple. Whether this is an advantage or a disadvantage is up to the user to decide. Some will be confused by the small display. And others will consider small dimensions as a big plus, because the phone will not be able to slip out of their hands.

Since many users consider the camera to be the main feature in the iPhone, this is what should be highlighted in the SE model. Advantages of the camera of the considered smartphone:

• Improved shots thanks to the 12 MP camera.
• Capable of shooting 4K video.
• The availability of creating panoramas with a resolution of 64 MP.
• Getting "live" photos.
• Excellent shots even at night (the manufacturer built a dual-color flash into the device).

Of course, all these chips will impress anyone. But other internal components of the SE model are no less good. At the same presentation, the manufacturer highlighted the following advantages of the model:

• The presence of the A9 processor.
• Memory in 2 versions - 16 GB or 64 GB.
• Built-in Touch ID sensor.
• A powerful battery that can hold a charge up to 13 hours with active surfing on the net.

So, the iPhone SE is almost no worse than the six S. But, of course, there are a number of differences. For example, in the new product, the Touch ID sensor is the first generation, and in the six S, the second. In addition, the SE version does not include LTE Advanced technology. This negatively affects the speed of loading data. And if in the gadget of the sixth generation the speed indicator is 450 Mbps, then in SE it is 3 times less.

iPhone SE performance

At a time when the release date for the iPhone SE in Russia has not yet been precisely determined, Apple fans already knew a lot about this new product. In particular, many were interested in performance indicators. We will talk about them in more detail later.

The manufacturer installed the A9 chipset in the new gadget. As always, the company did not want to equip the "fresh" device with the old version of the processor. And this is quite understandable, because at the time of the release of the SE, a newer model loomed on the horizon - the iPhone 7 with the A10 chipset.

In addition, due to the presence of the A9 chip and the M9 coprocessor in the SE, the Siri assistant can be used in the background. In order for this assistant to be activated, the phrase “Hey Siri” is enough. The supply of processors for the SE was carried out by the Taiwanese company TSMC. But there are also rumors that Samsung Corporation has something to do with it.

According to the test results, it turned out that in terms of performance, the iPhone SE is more powerful than the six S. According to AnTuTu studies, the younger model scored a little more than 133 thousand points, and the older one - 132 points. By comparison, a simple six has only 80 thousand points.

Memory

The amount of "RAM" model SE - 2 GB. As for the built-in memory, variations of gadgets with a memory of 16 and 32 GB are available to users. According to research, thanks to a good amount of memory, the tabs in the Safari browser remain for a longer period than in the fifth iPhone. In addition, their reboot occurs much less frequently. This makes traveling across the global network more efficient. The user can navigate to any open tab without waiting for it to refresh.

Battery

Journalists from one of the American newspapers tested the iPhone SE and the subject of the duration of its battery life. iPhone 5 and 6 models S and Samsung Galaxy S7 also took part in this study. The new device from Apple proved to be just fine, although the conditions were equal.

It turned out that the iPhone SE runs on one full battery charge for 2 hours longer than other "apple" gadgets. And when compared with Galaxy, then the Korean device was discharged 3 hours earlier than the iPhone SE.

Cameras - main and front

The SE's selfie camera specs are exactly the same as the S's sixes - 1.2 MP. The new device received the “live photos” function, but all gadgets of the sixth line have the same feature (except for the simple six).

Video recording with 4K quality and 30 frames per second has become available.

The cost of the iPhone SE in Russia

As noted at the beginning of the article, the price of the smartphone was announced at the presentation. It is very important that the manufacturer did not forget to mention this. For many buyers, the cost of a mobile phone is an important factor in their purchasing decision. And here Apple was able to attract the attention of fans.

The price of the SE model turned out to be very democratic and at the beginning of sales amounted to about 400 dollars (on average, 28,000 rubles). Apple's management has focused on the rich "stuffing" of the device and the same functions. Thus, the iPhone SE model has become the most inexpensive in the history of the company. But, importantly, at a low price, the quality remained at the same level.

It is for these reasons that residents of Russia should pay attention to the iPhone SE. According to experts, in our country for such a price to buy a smartphone with a similar set of functions is simply unrealistic. And, in fact, SE is a smaller version of the iPhone 6S.

Based on all of the above, it can be argued that the iPhone SE will be a great purchase for everyone.

iPhone SE release date in Russia

The release date of this gadget in our country has been slightly shifted. As always, at first the novelty was sold in the USA and Europe, and Russia became one of the countries of the second wave of sales. And in countries such as India, the new device hit the shelves even later.

In Russia, Apple fans were able to purchase an iPhone SE in early April 2016. In the official store of the company on the network, the service of pre-ordering the model was available, which many took advantage of.
