Gadget Review: Apple iPhone SE specifications
It is undeniable that Apple is using an older design, but by no means, it is a bad decision. The iPhone 5S design remains the best that Jony Ive\'s team has come up with in the last 9 years and if Apple has decided to recycle it, that is understandable.
If you're someone who love the iPhone 5S, so much so that you can continue to cling on to your old phone, then it is time for you to rejoice. Apple's latest iPhone the SE is basically the same iPhone 5S-style device in terms of looks. But it comes with almost all the modern and latest features that are inside the iPhone 6S.
It is a classic case of an old bottle with a new wine. Although, the bigger question is about its appeal to a bigger set of consumers. Can a phone with 4-inch screen really have mass appeal in 2016? We find out.
Design
The iPhone SE looks identical to the iPhone 5S. That's because Apple is using the same design and same chassis as the one on the iPhone 5S. Many consumers may not find it very appealing, considering it to be old and stale, but the fact is that this is a very premium design. In fact, the iPhone SE possibly sports that best iPhone design Apple has ever released. It looks great, feels fantastic in hands and in "rose gold" looks extremely dashing.
Once you take a better look at the phone, you will see some differences compared to the iPhone 5S. Apple has actually refined the older design. For instance, the metal chamfers which embellish the outline of the phone, aren't polished. Instead, they have a matte finish, which is likely to ensure that the phone ages in a more graceful way.
The rear Apple logo is now made of metal and is also sure to last longer without scratches.

With the iPhone SE, Apple has made an expensive smartphone which has impeccable fit and finish. It looks better and feels more polished than its peers, even the newer ones like the Xiaomi Mi 5.
It also works well for people who want a smaller iPhone. Apple says that over 30 per cent of its iPhone users are still on 4-inch or smaller iPhones, which makes this a huge market. The iPhone SE very pocket friendly. While chunkier at 7.6mm than the iPhone 6S, it is considerably lighter than it at 113 grams. That's just 1 gram heavier than the iPhone 5S and 30 grams lighter than the iPhone 6S.
It is undeniable that Apple is using an older design, but by no means, it is a bad decision. The iPhone 5S design remains the best that Jony Ive's team has come up with in the last 9 years and if Apple has decided to recycle it, that is understandable.
