iPhone SE release date: Apple expected to announce new smaller handset in March 2016

Apple’s latest presentation is less than a month away, meaning there’s plenty of speculation as to what will be announced.

Among the products expected to be revealed during the event on March 21 is a new smaller iPhone, set to replace the iPhone 5s.

The 5s is currently the cheapest and lowest-powered iPhone still on sale, with the iPhone 6 and 6s being more recent models.

The iPhone SE, at it is now rumoured to be called, is likely to feature the same A9 chip as the 6s, include features such as Live Photos and 3D Touch, and come in 16GB and 64GB models.

It is likely to be closer in look to the iPhone 5, but with a few design elements of the softer-edged iPhone 6 and 6s .

The SE, meaning Special Edition, would mean a move away from the numbered names that all previous models have received.
