The iPhone 5se is said to sport similar curved edges like the 6S or the 6S Plus.

However, a fresh report by 9to5Mac pointed out that the new 4-inch handset would be known as the iPhone 5se, where “se” stands for special edition. If all of these details are correct, it will be a solid upgrade for anyone still holding on to an iPhone 4S, 5, or 5C and hoping for a new small-screened phone. The iPhone 6s will lend its Live Photos to the new model too.
According to those sources, the so-called “iPhone 5SE” will look and act a lot like a downsized iPhone 6.
What will come straight from the iPhone 6 is the A8 chipset, but it is said to be complemented by some iPhone 6s hardware, namely the Bluetooth 4.2, VoLTE and Wi-Fi 802.11ac chips.
The iPhone 5SE will have the same 4-inch screen size with the same resolution.

The new 40-second video clip (see below) published by M.I.C Gadget claims to showcase a model of the upcoming 4-inch iPhone. It would have a custom A9 processor, Touch ID support, and an NFC chip for Apple Pay (the only use Apple has found for NFC thus far), along with some other specs we won’t rehash. It’s probably safe to say we will see these and other iOS 9-specific features on the new iPhone 5SE. As for color options, they will, this time, be the same to those for the iPhone 6s, meaning you can get a rose gold-flavored iPhone 5SE on top of the classic color choices. However, at the march event, Apple will be adding some newer accessories like bands with new colours and new texture options. Sifting through the reports to figure out what’s real and what’s a bunch of bologna isn’t easy, a fact that’s underscored by the current next-gen iPhone chatter. It won’t have a 3D Touch Display. and could be launched in March or April of 2016. Last year, Apple introduced the iPad Pro, a 12-inch tablet with top-of-the-line specifications and Apple Pencil stylus, but the iPad Air 2 stayed company’s flagship 10-inch tablet. At the moment, the new phone is being produced overseas and is planned for a March introduction ahead of a late March or early April release by Apple.
