The rumors had been going strong for several months ... they were confirmed in March 2016, when Apple announced the release of his last, the iPhone SE . More accessible financially speaking (265 € less on average compared to the iPhone 6S), it is often referred to as "low cost iPhone". Yet his abilities are far from being so. After testing it, find out why this little jewel of technology has made us crack.
Reason # 1: Its price!
Displayed at the price of 489 € (16 GB), one realizes with the SE iPhone , a saving of 260 € compared to the iPhone 6S of the same capacity, and 150 € compared to the iPhone 6. placing under the € 500 mark, Apple scores points and, on the budget side, becomes more accessible.
Reason 2: its power
According to high-tech specialists, the iPhone SE is considered the most powerful compact smartphone of its generation. Why ? Simply because it gathers all the latest technical capabilities and performance of the iPhone 6S . Thus, it is equipped with a chip A9: a processor that allows it an exceptional speed of execution. In other words, on the iPhone SE as on the 6S, we open all our applications in record time. It is also equipped with a Retina display whose high resolution offers spectacular graphics performance. Value level price / quality , there is ultimately little better than him on the market.
Reason 3: the quality of its camera
With the iPhone SE (and the 6S), Apple makes a real leap in terms of image quality . For comparison, it is equipped with a 12 megapixel camera when the iPhone 5S (yet of the same size) is equipped with an 8 megapixel camera. And no need to be a pro to really see the difference. Photos taken with the iPhone OS are high quality, sharper, clearer, with many details. And with a few tricks, you can even make pictures worthy of a Reflex with its iPhone . It also has the "live photo" mode that allows to give life to our pictures.
On the video side, you can with the iPhone SE film in Full HD (the resolution is even better than with the simple HD) and 4k (in cinema format, with a black band at the top and bottom of the picture). Once again, the Retina screen is a real plus for those who touch up and mount their images directly on their smartphones.
Reason 4: its pocket format
One more reason to crack for the iPhone SE ? Its format . If some prefer the big screen of the iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 6S and 6S Plus, others on the contrary favor the pocket format of smaller smartphones. And that's where Apple's latest addition makes all the difference. Thanks to its size (exactly the same as the iPhone 5S), it holds in the hand and can be stored more easily in its purse or in a pocket without skimping on quality. While it is perfect for everyday personal use , it is also ideal for professional use since it combines performance, speed and small format.
Reason # 5: Design
In addition to being true pearls technology, Apple products are also acclaimed by the afficionados of the brand for their chic and sleek design . Simple but not simplistic. And the iPhone SE does not deviate from the rule. It is thin, light, and we crack completely for the refined look that give it its aluminum finishes with satin finish and stainless steel logo. Note: our favorite for the chic model pink powder (which did not exist on the iPhone 5) that pleases women without making too girly.
