According to sources close to 9to5Mac, Apple’s return to 4 inches will be named iPhone 5se and will be a blend of the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s. Gurman added that the device will be more similar design-wise to the iPhone 5s, as opposed to the upcoming iPhone 7, which will reportedly come with a daring new feature, or lack thereof – the lack of a headphone jack.

We have heard a lot about Apple’s supposed cheaper iPhone coming this year. 9to5mac.com discovered that the new iPhone 5SE will come with a barrage of cool features, including a powerful 8 megapixel rear camera and the ability to use “Live Photos” like the iPhone 6 can. It’ll also allow for larger panoramas and autofocus for video recording, a barometer for tracking elevation in the Health app (bring on the mountain jogs!) and better connections for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and VoLTE that come standard in the 6s. Apple will reportedly launch the next iteration of the iPhone 6s, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in September.
Earlier reports from Chinese tech blog MyDrivers had claimed that Apple will launch a 4-inch iPhone 6c, which will have exactly the same resolution and size as iPhone 5s. The new handset will also take up the price point of the older iPhone 5s. The iPhone 5se will be available in silver, space grey, gold, and Rose Gold colour options. The smaller iPhone should also be NFC ready and compatible with Apple Pay as well to make the device a compelling buy among the masses. The Apple Watch 2 will sport major design and hardware changes such as the inclusion of a FaceTime camera and improved processor and battery. The company aims to provide users an wide range of new color band options. Currently, there are no updates regarding the technical specifications of the upcoming tablet.
