The iPhone SE is the cheapest phone Apple has launched in recent years globally. However, Rs 39, 000 for 16GB version and Rs 49, 000 for 64GB variant are obviously over-priced. While the smaller iPhone makes perfect sense, the current pricing is a deterrent. Once, the re-imported iPhone 5S goes out of stock in India and also with the iPhone 7 launch, the prices of SE is bound to drop. The iPhone SE prices in India will simply help Apple to boost sales of the other existing iPhones for now.
The fingerprint scanner or Touch ID is included in the SE and it is fast. The phone is backed by a 1, 624mAh battery. The battery life is slightly better due to a smaller low-resolution screen of the SE. Users can squeeze in one day in a full charge easily.
The SE is just a matter of choice for people who prefer to use small screen and Apple doesn’t want them to use old hardware to run new apps.
