The next iPhone
that Apple will reportedly announce will be called the iPhone "SE,"
not iPhone 5se as previously rumoured, according to 9to5Mac's Mark Gurman.
The SE is
said to stand for "Special Edition."
The
iPhone SE is expected to come with a 4-inch screen and a similar design to the
iPhone 5S with a slightly curved front glass panel. It's also claimed to have
an 8MP camera, the powerful A9 processor from the iPhone 6s, Apple Pay, and
Live Photos.
Apparently,
Apple is ditching the number "5" from the 4-inch iPhone's name to
avoid confusion. Indeed, having the "5" in the model name could give
the impression that it's a revamped older generation model, which might not be
as alluring as a brand new model.
Gurman
expects Apple to announce the iPhone SE at an event on March 15, where it's
claimed the company will also announce an iPad Pro with a smaller 9.7-inch
screen instead of the iPad Air 3.
