The first customers have already received the new iPhone SE and technicians from chipworks they immediately performed a traditional dissection, during which they deciphered what the new four-inch phone is made of. It is a perfect combination of components that Apple has used in previous iPhones.

There really aren't too many new components in the iPhone SE and how chipworks they note, "this is not a typical Apple novelty". However, this does not mean that it is not an innovation.

“The genius of Apple and its fearless boss, Mr. Cook, lies in combining all the right components to create a successful product. Finding the right balance of old and new, and at such a low price, is not easy." they write in his report chipworks. It is the combination of older components that is the key to the lower price.

According to their analysis, the iPhone SE is powered by the same A9 processor (APL1022 from TSMC) found in the iPhone 6S. Apparently, the four-inch model also has the same 2GB RAM (SK Hynix). The NFC chip (NXP 66V10), six-axis sensor (InvenSense) are also the same as the latest iPhones.

On the contrary, the iPhone SE takes components from Qualcomm (modem and transmitter) from the older iPhone 6, and the touch screen drivers (manufactured by Broadcom and Texas Instruments) are from the iPhone 5S.

The only news that chipworks discovered are some charging modules from Skyworks, 16GB NAND flash from Toshiba, a microphone from AAC Technologies and an EPCOS antenna switch.

A complete dissection, for which in addition chipworks will follow up with further tests, you will find <a href="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1932/8043/files/200721_ODSTOUPENI_BEZ_UDANI_DUVODU__EN.pdf?v=1595428404" data-gt-href-en="https://en.notsofunnyany.com/">here</a>.
