Display
Unlike the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6s, which sports a 4.7-inch display, the iPhone SE offers a smaller, 4-inch Retina display with a resolution of 640x1136 pixel (326ppi). However, there is no 3D Touch, the pressure sensitive display technology that Apple introduced with the iPhone 6s, which may disappoint some users. There's a lot of demand for a 4-inch iPhone, Apple said at the event, adding that it sold more than 30 million 4-inch iPhone handsets in 2015. The iPhone SE is aimed at such users, as well as people who want to purchase an iPhone without breaking their bank.

Processor
The iPhone SE largely packs the same innards as the iPhone 6s. So we're looking at the same A9 SoC, and the same M9 motion coprocessor in the iPhone SE. Apple rightfully claims that the iPhone SE is the most powerful 4-inch iPhone to date. Apple has once again not disclosed any details about the RAM module in the iPhone SE. But since the iPhone 6s has 2GB of RAM, the iPhone SE is likely to have a 2GB of RAM chip as well.

Always-on Siri
Because the iPhone SE has the A9 SoC and M9 coprocessor, it supports "Always-on Siri functionality. The feature enables you to say "Hey Siri" without having to pick up your iPhone. In other words, you can ask Siri about weather, or any other query that you have, with the hassle of reaching out to the iPhone and unlocking it.
