The new Apple smartphone is meant to address both the demand for a smaller screen iPhone, as well as the demand for a cheap iPhone.

Apple launched the highly anticipated 9.7-inch iPad Pro on Monday, which succeeds the iPad Air 2. For example Apple says that the A9X on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is 2.5x faster than the A7, while the 9.7-inch iPad Pro says that it is only 2.4x faster.
That could affect performance while multi-tasking, particularly using the split-screen features built into recent versions of iOS. A 32GB variant will sell for $599, while a 128GB one will sell for $749 and the largest 256GB model will be sold at $899.
A common trait of Apple’s latest smart devices is their more affordable price tag, which trumps any innovative new functions.
Like its bigger siblings, the iPhone SE comes with a fingerprint reader and near-field communication technology, with support for Apple Pay tap-and-go mobile payments. The co-processor too has been upgraded to M9 from the M7.
Analysts noted that the new device could be good for companies looking for new digital creative options. Graphics are also a concern with the new iPad Pro because the processing speed is slower, and it may certainly affect the graphics. There’s also new wristbands for it, made of woven nylon. It will be available on March 31 as well, with pre-orders starting Thursday. There’s a 12MP front-facing iSight camera, a new image signal processor, True Tone Flash, 4K video and the ability to create a Panorama of up to 63MP.
Moreover, the newly-unveiled 9.7-inch iPad – like the 12.9-inch iPad Pro version – also comes with support for the Apple Pencil; and features the Smart Connector.

Apple claimed that the device is three times faster in terms of its Wi-Fi capability, along with an improved LTE connectivity.
