A 4-incher screen iPhone SE has entered the market a short while ago, but users’ reaction to it can be compared to that to iPhone 6 Plus, when Apple has changed the body design and increased a form-factor. Experts and users have divided into two groups – some suppose that Back to Basics is a logical and correct step, whereas others are certain in failure of the novelty.
When SE was released, Apple portfolio included smartphones five and six, as well as updated models 6S/6S Plus. In the past Cupertino released a “budget” iPhone 5C, which, however, did not get a warm welcome, so, remembering this experience, the company was waiting for reaction to the novelty with some caution.
Design of smartphone was the main intrigue, but SE has appeared to be a classical iPhone with sharp-edged case. Unexpected was a return to a 4-incher diagonal, which has pleased owners of small palms, as they can again use a smartphone with one hand only.
Market observers fiercely criticize the American company in another failure to make a “budget” smartphone, but Cupertino never claimed to have such intention. In fact, SE model is a device with modern filling and classical design, which, judging by information from topical forums, has been missed by many users.
Let us bring about the greatest advantages – SE has larger RAM (2 Gb on board), which, by all means, will have positive impact on work with several applications. Speed of Wi-Fi has increased three times, and speed of LTE has risen to 50% in comparison to iPhone 5S, which will allow users of iPhone SE open and transfer content quicker.
It is worth mentioning that SE has functions of iPhone 6s, among which 63-mega-pixel panoramic pictures, 60 frames per second video with 1080p resolution and 240 frames per second in slow motion mode, time-lapse with video stabilization and cinematic video stabilization.
We can now clearly say that iPhone SE has no rivals in this segment, as most 4-incher diagonal smartphones are plastic budget devices that can tempt by price only.
According to Nord FX analysts, as of May 31, the shares of Apple set at the point of 100.35 dollars, having lost 0.06%.
