The upcoming new smaller 4-inch iPhone SE seems to have been confirmed to indeed carry the ‘SE’ badging thanks to a leak from those manning the supply chain network in China.
Even though the leaked image which can be considered to be against the tenets of non-disclosure agreements that make public releases of such images before the official launch of the product illegal, is evident the budget iPhone will indeed come with 16 GB of onboard storage.
However, the leaker has taken to other posts to reveal that a 64 GB version of the iPhone SE will also there for the taking. Meanwhile, the SE will also come with an integrated NFC chip which makes it compatible with Apple Pay. Further, the iPhone SE is also expected to come in four color i.e. silver, space gray, gold, and rose gold.
The tipster has also added the overall design of the iPhone SE pretty much mimics the iPhone 5s but might have slightly curved edges sans the mirror finish of the original that had made it prone to scratches. Accessories to be included with the handset in the box include EarPods and Lightning to USB cable.
