Earlier this week at Apple's campus in Cupertino, the company announced a brand-new iPhone. The heavens didn't part, pop bands didn't play, and people aren't camping out at Apple Stores to buy the thing.

Fast; Long battery life; Great rear camera; Relatively inexpensive

Starts with only 16GB of storage; Lacks a few iPhones 6S features; Design not updated from iPhone 5s

Display - Small but highly detailed The iPhone SE really is a handset that has been designed for the small phone lover with its 4" Retina display. This sizing makes it an ideal replacement for Apple fans still using an iPhone 4s or iPhone 5s.

Just because the iPhone SE looks like an old device doesn't mean it acts like one. Apple squeezed flagship-level performance and the best battery life we've seen from an iPhone in years into a familiar (and relatively inexpensive) frame.

L’Apple iPhone SE est un Smartphone avantageux non seulement pour son prix, mais aussi pour ses spécifications. En effet, il est livré avec Touch ID ainsi que des composants puissants qui le rendent réactif. Il embarque un appareil photo décent et peut parfaitement s’utiliser avec une seule main.

Cadre léger; Prix abordable

Durée de vie de la batterie décevante; Pas de prise casque

Apple still loves building compact smartphones, even though the last generations grew considerably. The iPhone SE (which is short for Special Edition) goes back to the roots and revives the hardly used 4-inch form factor.

sophisticated chassis; compact and light; very high performance; bright display with accurate colors; responsive and smooth handling; many accessories available; great signal quality; accurate GPS; good speaker; decent cameras; great runtimes in practice

high black value; NFC only for Apple Pay; microphone sounds dull; no IP certification; glass surfaces can easily break; storage not expandable; integrated battery

There are two ways of looking at the iPhone SE, the "special edition" smaller-scale 4-inch iPhone. One is that it's Apple simply churning out a 2-year-old design with a spec update; the other is that it delivers what many people actually want: a small but powerful phone for those who believe the...

Small size will suit a certain audience; majority 6S feature set means plenty of power; accessible price point

Not a new design; small size won't be for all - can feel crammed on screen; no 3D Touch; 1.2MP front camera; no MIMO Wi-Fi

It totally is. If you have a iPhone 5 lying around, check to see the dimensions- Apple have whipped out the shell of their older flagship, made the tiniest of tweaks and presented beefed up specs in the retro-themed body.

Perfect for using one-handed; Incredible performance; Great camera; Price; good battery life

Might be too small; no 3D touch

A small iPhone with the heart of a big one? It's true, and it's a pretty decent package, even if it took Apple long enough.

Apple's original winning size returns to centre stage; Great spec upgrade; making the iPhone SE faster than the still available iPhone 6; All-day battery life; Great camera; Includes a fingerprint reader; Supports the same accessories as the iPhone 5 and 5S… because it's the same phone chassis-wise...

Small screen (in comparison to what else is out there today; Front-facing camera is old and low resolution (again; in comparison to what else is out there today; No force-touch/3D touch screen

An iPhone with no number in its model name? That'll be the new iPhone SE , which ditches the number 5 but retains everything that iPhone 5 and 5S owners loved about their 4in phones - and upgrades all the bits which are out of date.

We think most users will have a love-it-or-hate-it reaction to the iPhone SE -either you prefer the smaller 4-inch screen size, or you're willing to sacrifice one-handed use for a bigger and more impressive display on the iPhone 6s.

Speedy A9 CPU and high-quality 12MP camera are high-end; The iPhone 5s design never went out of style; Ultra-long battery life in a compact size; Plenty of cases and accessories designed for 5/5s still fit; Starting price of $399 is outstanding

No 128GB storage option; Slower Touch ID; lower-res FaceTime camera; and no 3D Touch; Screen isn't as bright or crisp as iPhone 6s
