Phone 6s, but it has the same CPU, RAM and excellent rear camera as the more expensive model. The i. Phone SE has the body of the i. Phone 5s- - that Leica inspired one that's still my personal favorite i. Phone design. It's available in 4 colors and it has a 4" Retina IPS display.

Both front and rear cameras are much higher resolution and Apple's finally joined the 4. K video recording bandwagon. The casing is more rigid and the Touch ID fingerprint scanner recognizes your fingerprint nearly instantaneously. Lastly there's 3. D Touch for new interactions with the touch screen. Not bad for an off cycle year. Editor's Choice 2. Sept. 2. 01. 5i. Phone 6 Plus. It's Apple's first phablet, or really big smartphone if you hate that label. The i. Phone 6 Plus has a 5.
