The iPhone SE (special edition) is that 4-inch device with which Apple has left the general public somewhat misplaced, and that we find a fairly continuous device as far as design is concerned (it retains the design of the iPhone 5 from 2012), except for the addition of the rose gold color, however, it includes hardware that many would like for themselves, indeed, the iPhone SE has been characterized in its presentation precisely by hiding almost all the iPhone 6s armament inside, the latest iPhone model available. What's inside the iPhone SE? Well, once opened, we tell you what they have found, what are their ins and outs.
The iPhone SE is slowly beginning to reach the hands of the first owners, in Spain the distribution will begin between April 5 and 6, so starting on the 6th we will see the first Spanish reviews, perhaps even here in Actualidad iPhone let's do some. Meanwhile, the boys from chipworks Let's see what this great little phone contains, analyzing every part of its four inches to the millimeter. Above all to reveal the doubts about whether it looks more like an iPhone 5s (by design) or an iPhone 6s (by power), so, we are going to analyze each of the details to reach the conclusions.
The power of the iPhone SE
The iPhone SE comes loaded with an A9 processor, identically the same as we find in Apple's highest-end device, the iPhone 6s. Meanwhile, we have come to the conclusion that just as happened with the iPhone 6s, we will find both TSMC and Samsung chips, although the chip that has found chipworks in this case it has been the TSMC. On the other hand, confirm that the iPhone SE has 2 GB of RAM of the LPDDR4 type, exactly the same as the iPhone 6s, one more coincidence. In fact, by the labeling dates it is concluded that they are from exactly the same circulation, August or September of last year, so this iPhone had been in Tim Cook's mind for some time.
As for storage, here if it has been renewed, Toshiba is the brand in charge of flash memories, a new brand. In the meantime, The touch screen driver does take us back a long time, it is effectively the same as in the iPhone 5s, something that should not surprise us since it is exactly the screen, the model BCM5976 from Broadcom or, failing that, the 343S0645 from Texas Instruments.
As for the NFC chip, we find the NXP66VIO model, an evolution of the one used in the iPhone 6 and which of course includes the iPhone 6s, a new similarity with the most powerful of the iOS devices. Meanwhile the six-axis sensor in charge of the accelerometer and gyroscope is the MEMS model used in the iPhone 6s. We can almost conclude that it is much more similar to the iPhone 6s than to the iPhone 5s, beyond the mere aesthetic fact that the case is the same. On the other hand, both the data chip and the audio chip are exactly the same as that of the iPhone 6s.
Much more of the iPhone 6s than the iPhone 5s
Definitely and although our mind wants to play a trick on us because of what we see with our eyes, iPhone SE looks infinitely more like iPhone 6s than iPhone 5sIn fact, there are few pieces that match the iPhone 5s beyond the screen and the chassis. Thus, we can conclude that not everything is in the package, the iPhone SE is a true "special edition" establishing itself as the most powerful four-inch phone on the market, which will give it a lot of fame if we take into account that it costs "only »€ 489 in Spain.
Ex-houses? Please… it is the minimum that can be asked, that there are no spelling mistakes. Dislocated? How about talking about the battery?
Anyway ... Let the EGB come back.
Hi ray
We are not talking about the drums because the guys from Chipworks have not decided to make that information public. Still, on the 6th when the device arrives we will do a review. But I can't make up information. Only one medium in the world has talked about the battery and has not given very specific data. I am sorry.
As for spelling errors, erring is human.
In fact, Miguel Hernandez's text says "exacasas" not appreciable ex-houses Ray ... If we are going to correct, we must try to do it right ... It is evident that it is not a spelling error but an extra "key".
Congratulations on your work friends Actualidad iPhone
Thanks for the appreciation. Greetings Pedro
You guys are really picky about spelling lately, huh?
And is the touch ID the same?
Yes Miguel. First generation.
regards
Leñes, where is my previous comment ?. I always thought that criticism is positive, it helps to improve. We are no longer dislocated but we continue to run out of air due to the lack of points and followed. To err is human, to rectify is wise and to forgive is divine. Anyway.
As I said at the time when it was presented, it is a terminal to take it into account in a considerable way. It costs € 260 less than the iPhone 6S and less the screen, the rest is very similar.
I think you commented at the time that however the Touch ID version and the camera take a step back. The version of the Touch ID is that of the 5S and the camera is worse, in this it fails, but I also do not see something to not take it into account. The 2GB of RAM makes up for it.
I have been with an iPhone 5S for more than 3 years and I am delighted, right now I do not see the need to change it. The iPhone 7 has to surprise me a lot for me to consider getting rid of the one I have, since in that case the candidate would be the SE that is worth much less and I am left over.
Of course, we must recognize Apple's great strategy with the iPhone SE, it is a great candidate to steal customers from Android. Moreover, I think I have read somewhere that the reserves in China and several countries have already been exhausted.
To finish, clarify that € 489 does not seem cheap, but I do not see it bad for quality-price. A pity that it does not stay here in Spain and other countries in the $ 399 they said, it would have been a success ...
