The 5-inch iPhone XNUMXSE is almost a sure thing and is most likely to be one of the highlights of the program Apple's March keynote. By all accounts, it is supposed to be a direct successor to the ever-popular iPhone 5S, with innovations expected concern almost exclusively the hardware insides of the phone.

Now server resources 9to5Mac they bring new visual materials that show that the iPhone 5SE will be almost indistinguishable from the original iPhone 5S. In terms of dimensions, the phone should be absolutely identical, but a few inconspicuous changes can still be read from the pictures. The hardware button for locking and powering the phone has been moved to the side of the device, like the iPhone 6 and 6S.

The shape of the device also looks slightly changed. The edges and front cover glass of the iPhone 5 appear rounded. The rounding is far from what we can see on the "six" iPhones, but it is still noticeable. Schemes published on Twitter OnLeaks they confirm the changed shape of the device, but they do not show the change in the location of the hardware switch.

On the contrary, the slightly protruding camera lens is clearly visible on them, but it is not yet clear what exactly it will look like. A variant from the iPhone 5S (not raised) and from the iPhone 6 (raised) is possible, as well as OnLeaks they show two slightly different forms of the prototypes that they say they are testing at Apple.

Otherwise, the iPhone 5SE will look exactly as we are used to from other "five" iPhones. The back will be made of aluminum, supplemented by glass "bars" on the upper and lower edges, and the front of the phone will be dominated by a FaceTime camera in the company of a speaker and a light sensor.

The renders don't show a fingerprint sensor, but the presence of Touch ID is pretty much a certainty. All iPhones starting with the 5S model have the sensor, and the function is, among other things, central to Apple Pay.

In terms of hardware specifications, the new four-inch iPhone is to be equipped with the A9 chip, which is also used in the latest iPhone 6s, as well as the corresponding M9 motion coprocessor. The iPhone 5SE should also be able to take Live Photos and should have the latest camera system. An NFC chip with support for the aforementioned Apple Pay is also a sure thing.

The existing colors of the iPhone 5S would with the arrival of the new model should have added gold and rose gold color. Together with space gray and silver, customers will have a choice of four color variants. As for storage size, the cheapest option will unfortunately still be 16GB. But the second option will be a model with 64 GB of storage, so the "middle" 32 GB variant will traditionally be missing from the menu.

 

The price of the new iPhone should be the same as the 5s model, which is now on sale here for 14 crowns. However, the price of the variant with higher memory is not completely certain, because the higher model iPhone 790S had 5GB and not 32GB of memory. In addition, it is not at all certain whether our new prices will be the same as the existing ones. We expect a slightly higher amount.

The new iPhone is scheduled to be unveiled on March 15 and could go on sale as soon as 3 days later. As part of the keynote, Apple is also expected to introduce new bands for the Watch and the new iPad Air 3, which could bring a powerful A9X processor and a Smart Connector for connecting special accessories, following the example of the iPad Pro.
