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.
