Apple’s new pressure-sensitive 3D Touch display did not make the cut as this will help distinguish the iPhone SE from the company’s flagship iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus models.

Apple vice-president Greg Joswiak made the announcement just last night at their Keynote talks in Cupertino.
The iPhone SE has double the processing power and four times the graphics performance of the iPhone 5S, as well as longer battery life.
But with the iPhone SE, that won’t be the case, as the original sensor is set to perform significantly slower than the one used on the 6s.
The 16GB iPhone SE is priced at $399 in the US. But in India, the device will be available to pre-order starting from March 29th and the sales begins from April 8th.
The new iPad will cost HK$4,688 for the 9.7-inch, and the HK$6,088 for the 12.9-inch.
Another product introduced at the event is the new iPad Pro that comes equipped with a smaller screen size of 9.7 inches compared to the old version.
The SE also comes with an NFC chip and supports Apple Pay. To them the phone is pretty much the same. The handset can be bought in four different colors: rose gold, space gray, silver and gold.

Tim Cook said, unsurprisingly, that he was very excited about the new device: “I’m really excited about iPhone SE – many, many customers have asked for this and I think they’re really going to love it”. The iPhone SE has a 12MP iSight camera, and the A9 allows for features like Live Photos, screen-based flash for the front-facing camera (similar to the 6S), and the ability to capture 4K video. This iPhone is said to be the “Cheap” iPhones in the country India at as price of Rs.39,000. The company also claims that the newly launched gadget’s screen is the brightest among all its counter parts available in the market.
