Apple Introduces iPhone SE — The Most Powerful Phone with a Four-inch Display

Featuring A9 Chip, Advanced 12-Megapixel iSight Camera & Apple Pay

CUPERTINO, California — March 21, 2016 — Apple® today introduced iPhone® SE, the most powerful phone with a four-inch display, in a beloved compact aluminum design that has

been updated with matte-chamfered edges, a color-matched stainless steel Apple logo, and

four gorgeous metallic finishes, including rose gold. iPhone SE offers exceptional performance with the same 64-bit A9 chip offered in iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus for

blazing fast speeds, longer battery life, faster wireless, a 12-megapixel iSight® camera

featuring Live Photos™ and 4K video, and Touch ID® with Apple Pay®.

“iPhone SE is an exciting new idea — we started with a beloved, iconic design and

reinvented it from the inside out. The result is the most beautiful and powerful phone with a

four-inch display in the world,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “iPhone SE is packed with a stunning four-inch Retina display, advanced 64-bit A9 chip with M9 motion co-processor, longer battery life, 12-megapixel iSight camera with True Tone flash, Live Photos, 4K video, faster LTE and Wi-Fi, and Touch

ID with Apple Pay. Everyone who wants a smaller phone is going to love iPhone SE.”

The Most Powerful Phone with a Four-inch Display

iPhone SE takes a beloved iPhone design and reinvents it from the inside out, giving

customers a powerful, full-featured iPhone no matter which model they choose. The 64-bit A9 chip, introduced in iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, offers iPhone SE customers two times

faster CPU and three times faster GPU performance compared to iPhone 5s, all with gains in

energy efficiency for improved battery life. M9, Apple’s next-generation

motion coprocessor, is integrated into A9 allowing more features to run all the time at lower

power, including “Hey Siri” without having to pick up your iPhone, and a range of fitness

tracking capabilities like measuring your steps and distance. iPhone SE users can browse, download and stream content even faster with Wi-Fi up to three times and LTE up to 50

percent faster than iPhone 5s.* iPhone SE also includes more LTE bands for better worldwide

roaming and supports Voice over LTE and Wi-Fi calling for high-quality wideband calls.

With an easy-to-use interface, amazing features, and security at its core, iOS 9 is the

foundation of iPhone SE and brings powerful built-in apps like Messages, FaceTime®, Photos, Music and Maps to iPhone users. iOS 9 also brings more intelligence to iPhone SE

with proactive assistance, powerful search, improved Siri® features, and a new Night Shift™

feature that uses your iPhone SE’s clock and geolocation to automatically adjust the colors

in the display to the warmer end of the spectrum after dark and may even help you get a

better night’s sleep.

All of these innovations are packed into a light and compact phone designed to fit comfortably in your hand, crafted from bead-blasted aluminum for a satin-like finish, refined matte-chamfered edges, a new color-matched stainless steel inset Apple logo and a

brilliant four-inch Retina® display.

The World’s Most Popular Camera

iPhone SE has an advanced 12-megapixel iSight camera featuring Focus Pixel technology for

fast focusing, an Apple-designed image signal processor, advanced noise reduction, third- generation local tone mapping and better face detection, all resulting in sharper, more

detailed photos like the ones shot on iPhone 6s. With Live Photos on iPhone SE, customers

can go beyond snapshots to capture moments in motion and relive unforgettable memories

with sound. Live Photos are beautiful 12-megapixel photos that, with just a touch, reveal the moments immediately before and after the shot was taken, so users can enjoy a living

memory rather than an instant frozen in time.

Additional camera advancements include: The ability to shoot HD video with support for 4K at a resolution of 3840 x 2160. After

capturing 4K video, customers can edit on a Mac®, PC or iPad®, and with the latest version of iMovie® on iPhone, can even edit two simultaneous streams of 4K on iPhone

SE.
