Fans of Apple's shiny products, rejoice! The Cupertino-based
company has been tipped to launch a 4-inch iPhone - dubbed iPhone 5se - new
Apple Watch models, and possibly an iPad Air 3 at an event in March, according
to a report by someone with a reliable track record.
Chatter
around a 4-inch iPhone - the supposedly true successor to the iPhone 5s for people who don't crave for a large
display - has been circulating for more than a year now. Previously dubbed the iPhone 6c or iPhone 7c,
or even iPhone 5e - the phone will actually be called
the iPhone 5se, reports 9to5Mac.

Apple reportedly plans to launch the iPhone 5se - wherein se stands for special edition - alongside a new Apple Watch with minor improvements at its March event. Apple is also said to have plans to launch another Apple Watch dubbed Apple Watch 2 later this year around September with major hardware improvements and design changes. 9to5Mac further adds that the company is also aiming to launch the iPad Air 3 at the event, however, the plans could change later.

Previous reports suggest the upcoming 4-inch iPhone will have
the same hardware specifications as the iPhone 5s, but it seems Apple has
bigger plans. The new report claims that iPhone 5se will also borrow some
features from the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6s.
The
iPhone 5se will sport a curved glass as previously seen on the iPhone 6 and
iPhone 6s smartphones. The supposedly imminent handset will be powered by A8
SoC and M8 motion coprocessor as seen on the iPhone 6. As for connectivity
features, the iPhone 5se will support 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, and VoLTE,
as seen on the iPhone 6s.
Other
features tipped around the iPhone 5se include an 8-megapixel iSight (rear
camera), and a 1.2-megapixel FaceTime (front-facing camera) - the sensor
combinations previously seen on the iPhone 6. The new iPhone will also support
larger panoramas and autofocus for video recording. The handset will
purportedly support Live Photos,
a feature currently exclusively available on the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.
The iPhone 5se will also come equipped with an NFC chip to facilitate Apple Pay,
the company's mobile payments solution.
The
report claims that the iPhone 5se will come in Silver, Space Gray, and Rose
Gold colour combinations - as seen on the iPhone 6s/ 6s Plus lineup.
