The easiest way to think of the iPhone SE is as an iPhone 6S crammed into the body of an iPhone 5S .On the outside, the traits of the 5S come to the forefront. Holding the SE is very similar to holding the 5S. They have the exact same dimensions. The 5S w...

There was a time just a few years back when the 4-inch screen was considered Apple's big phone. After five generations of 3.5-inch screens, Apple made the iPhone taller in 2012 with the 4-inch iPhone 5. The width remained the same in a “common sense” move...

No, it's not the most exciting iPhone release, but the new SE still has a clear purpose: At $399, it's Apple's most affordable handset yet. Meanwhile, its 4-inch screen is likely to appeal to nostalgics who miss smaller iPhones. Indeed, the SE is nigh-ind...

Apple had a problem. Over the year 2015, they sold 30 million iPhone 5S phones. That's not the problem. Moving forward for new software and services, the 5S was aging out of the market quickly, and likely wouldn't have fared well if pushed into a third ye...
