The iPhone SE (iPhone Special Edition) is a smartphone designed and marketed by Apple Inc. as part of the iPhone series of devices. It was unveiled on March 21, 2016, at Apple's Cupertino headquarters and was released on March 31, 2016. The iPhone SE serves as a replacement for the iPhone 5S: it maintains a 4-inch screen size and nearly identical design to the 5S, but includes selected hardware upgrades from the larger iPhone 6S model, including its updated processor, rear camera, and support for iOS 9 software features such as Apple Pay, always-on Siri activation, and Live Photos.
Reception to the iPhone SE was critically positive, noting its familiar form factor and design, improved hardware over previous iPhone models with 4-inch screens, and its overall performance and battery life.
The last major redesign of the iPhone, the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and 5.5-inch 6 Plus, resulted in larger screen sizes. However, a significant number of customers preferred the 4-inch screen size of the iPhone 5 and 5S; the 5S was the second-most popular iPhone after the 6, ahead of the 6S. Apple stated in their event that they sold 30 million 4-inch iPhones in 2015. Furthermore, the 5 and 5S design was regarded as having "long been the golden child of Apple phone design and a benchmark for phones in general," while the succeeding 6 and 6S design was less critically acclaimed. The iPhone 5 was described as "elegance rooted in the way the aluminum and glass work together. It felt streamlined, yet substantial, which is different from iPhone 6, which feels substantial in size alone. Plus, unlike the ubiquitous rounded corners of the 6, iPhone 5 didn’t really look like anything else on the market at the time."
Apple's product positioning trend in North America and Western Europe, starting with the iPhone 4S released in October 2011, gave each newly released model one year as the flagship phone, then moving it to midrange for its second year of production, with the third and final year as the entry-level offering before discontinuation. The iPhone 5S was expected to continue on sale until September 2016. In addition, a new iPhone launch was meant to stimulate demand, as sales of iPhone 6S and 6S Plus had not met expectations since their September 2015 release and the iPhone family may suffer its first ever negative growth quarter in 2016.
