Apple announced their new iPhone SE.



Apple iPhone SE packs the same A9 chip that can be found on iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. It's overall design is that of older iPhone 5s. Sports a 4 inch 1136 x 640 Pixel Resolution Multi-Touch IPS Retina Display. M9 co-processor chip is also present that handles information of sensors as well as Siri. Measures 4.87 inches (123.8 mm) x 2.31 inches (58.6 mm) x 0.30 inch (7.6 mm) and weigh only 3.99 ounces (113 grams).
