After much speculation, Apple has released a new smartphone called the 'iPhone SE.' Unlike the company's other mobile offerings, the new phone serves as a smaller and more affordable option for consumers.
Designed to meet the changing needs of smartphone users, the iPhone SE comes with a number of high-end features without the added bulk. The phone itself features a four-inch screen and round buttons that are similar to that of the iPhone 5S. The phone also includes many of the same features found on the iPhone 6, such as an A9 processor, M9 motion coprocessor, a 12-megapixel camera and a longer battery life. Despite the advanced features, the phone only costs $400.
The latest iPhone gives consumers a more affordable option when it comes to purchasing a high-end smartphone.
