About this model
The first-generation iPhone SE (also known as iPhone SE 1 or iPhone SE 2016; SE is an initialism for Special Edition) is a smartphone that was designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. It is part of the 9th generation of the iPhone alongside the higher-end iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. Pre-orders began on March 24, 2016, and was officially released on March 31, 2016 alongside the 9.7-inch iPad Pro. It was re-released on March 24, 2017, with larger storage capacities.
The iPhone SE shares the same physical design and dimensions as iPhone 5S, and has upgraded internal hardware, including the newer Apple A9 system-on-chip, greater battery capacity, and a 12-megapixel rear camera that can record up to 4K video at 30 frames per second. Like the iPhone 6s, the iPhone SE can shoot Live Photos and has features like Retina Flash and the option to have Hey Siri activated without the need to be plugged into a power source.
The iPhone SE was discontinued by Apple on September 12, 2018. The 1st generation SE, alongside the 6S and 6S Plus, are the only iPhones to be supported through seven major versions of iOS, from iOS 9 to iOS 15.
Its successor, the second-generation iPhone SE, was announced on April 15, 2020, and released on April 24, 2020.
