LEAKED IMAGES OF APPLE'S NEXT IPHONE,5SE? SPECS,PRICE
A spate of leaks regarding a new, four-inch iPhone handset – originally thought to be called the iPhone 5SE – have emerged shortly ahead of an anticipated reveal.
A research note by Ming-Chi Kuo, the established Apple leaker and analyst, has been obtained by MacRumors suggesting what kinds of hardware features we can expect on the new device, as well as a potential price.
The "well-informed" analyst touts a price point between $400 and $500 (£288 and £360), meaning a price slash is on the cards when compared to the iPhone 5S, which starts at £379. This should drive sales in the low to medium-cost smartphone market and boost the company's foothold in India and China.
TechnoBuffalo says that introducing the new phone at such a price level means the "iPhone line-up would suddenly provide compelling options for budget smartphones buyers, who will have been sticking with Android and Windows Phone until now". The 5S is expected to have its price more or less halved in response.
The research note also points out several hardware features to expect on the phone. It should get a 12-megapixel camera -lifted from the iPhone 6S -, an A9 chipset and an NFC chip for Apple Pay, 16GB and 64GB storage options and a slightly larger battery.
However, 3D touch has been ruled out – something that appears to be confirmed by a separate leak on French website NWE that supposedly shows some of the internals of the new four-inch model.

NEXT APPLE CONFERENCE TO BE HELD ON 21ST MARCH
If you’re an Apple fan, you’ve probably heard the rumors that Apple will be unveiling a slew of devices on March 15, including new iPad. Turn out you might actually have to wait a while longer, after an unexplained delay.
BuzzFeed claims the even will be now be held on March 21, a date corroborated by an earlier Recode report. The publications both cite ‘several sources,’ and follow up on prior claims by Korean news site KG News andAppleInsider.
If you haven’t been keeping up, the rumor mill claims that we’ll be seeing a smaller, 4-inch iPhone 5se, new Apple Watch bands, and a smaller iPad Pro. The latter device is said to bring the current Pro’s Apple Pencil support, A9X processor and 4GB of RAM to a 9.7-inch form factor.
Why the delay? The most reasonable explanation seems to be Apple’s fiesty battle with the FBI. At the very least, you can expect the company to have added some strong words about privacy to its slide deck.

LENOVE NEW PHONE S90 IS A 'STEAL' TO APPLE
Design similarities in mobile are nothing new. It doesn’t happen as often today, but it’s been a darker part of the industry for years. This company copies that company, that company copies this company, and so forth. But Lenovo’s new S90 Sisley, which is bound for China, is practically a spitting image of Apple’s new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Not only that, but Lenovo’s marketing for the device is strikingly similar, too; just check out the pictures above, swiped from the phone’s website, and tell me you don’t see similarities.
Apple’s iPhone has been a hot commodity in China this year, and now that the handsets offer even larger screens, their status has risen in a market Apple has identified as key for the iPhone’s growth. We’re not saying Lenovo intended to copy Apple outright, but there’s really no avoiding the fact that the Chinese company drew inspiration from the iPhone’s rounded edges and aluminum design. Lenovo even chose a similar wallpaper in its marketing.
Lenovo has admitted that its new device does share “external similarities” with Apple’s device, but said it didn’t copy the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. “Considering the product design lifecycle of any smartphone—at least a year in planning and prototyping—it’s not possible to copy a design so quickly,” Lenovo said. Seeing knock-off iPhone designs out of China is really nothing new, but rarely do we see it from such a large company. Lenovo is the world’s biggest PC manufacturer, and is the proud owner of Motorola, which has the best.
Lenovo’s new device sells for 1,999 Yuan (about $325), and offers a 5-inch 720 display, NFC, 16GB of internal storage, dual-SIM support, a 1.2GHz quad-core processor and Android 4.4.4 KitKat. While the phone does look a lot like the iPhone, the screen doesn’t curve over into the rounded side, while the device’s antenna isn’t quite as pronounced. The colors are the same, however, while the phone’s UI looks like it’s trying hard to look like iOS. Judge for yourself in the pictures above.
