Apple, known for its innovative and creative products has taken the covers off from its new iPad Pro.

The iPhone SE is described as an iPhone 5S body with the guts of an iPhone 6S inside. “Even if it grabs a very optimistic 100% of the smartphone opportunity around the Rs 40k price range it is in, Apple would move up to 3.5-4% share, as against its existing 2.1%”. The new iPhone features a familiar screen size: 4-inches and a familiar design.

While iPhone SE might be both smaller and lower-cost than its flagship iPhone lineup, it doesn’t mean that the device is not important. The iPhone maker also announced a new line of nylon straps.

Publications who were present at Apple’s event last night have posted their first impressions, and they are mostly positive. 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.

We have rounded up some of the best cases for the Apple iPad Pro 9.7 that we have found so far but we will be updating this feature as more become available. With enormous clarity you’ll be able to do more, and the superfast processor inside will also help. What will be more interesting is how Apple approaches the new frontiers – such as VR and in vehicle technology. However, this new tablet also comes with Apple Pencil stylus support and the same four speakers.

The new device-called the iPhone SE-will debut at $399 for U.S. customers without a contract subsidy, in a significant cut from the price of its larger iPhones. The strong start – 30 or 40 million iPads a quarter – has been reduced to around 20 million, sometimes lower, and this has become an awkward red mark on Apple’s otherwise sterling financial performance. Do you think the 4-inch display could be too small?
