Se confirma el nombre del iPhone SE gracias a una nueva filtración fotográfica

El iPhone 5se lleva filtrándose desde hace algunas semanas, pero por fin sabemos que el dispositivo se llamará iPhone SE, y no iPhone 5SE como se había informado en un principio. Una nueva foto a través de la red social china Weibo confirma el nuevo iPhone y nos da algunas especificaciones sobre lo que los consumidores pueden esperar cuando Apple anuncie el iPhone SE.

The iPhone SE, from the photo leak, shows 16GB of storage, an Apple Lightning to USB Cable (which isn’t surprising, since this started with the iPhone 5), CDMA, GSM, UMTS, TD-SCDMA, and LTE capabilities (cellular networks worldwide), NFC, and GPS. The iPhone SE’s 16GB of storage isn’t surprising, since Apple has included una función de adelgazamiento de aplicaciones en iOS 9 for all its iPhones (and Apple isn’t one to upgrade all its devices to 32GB of storage — unlike its staunch rival, Samsung). What is surprising about the device, however, is that the iPhone SE will feature NFC, or Near Field Communication. We’ve said this before with leaks in the past, but some early rumors declaró que el dispositivo no contaría con Apple Pay. We can confirm that the iPhone SE will now feature Apple Pay and allow buyers to make mobile payments. This is an obvious move for a wise company, who wouldn’t toss out a device with its own brand that didn’t run what is proving to be one of the company’s main profit makers and a new mobile trend (alongside of smartwatches).

The iPhone SE will likely feature Apple’s A9 SoC processor chip, its M9 motion coprocessor for gaming and fitness data, as well as a 12MP camera (though we’re still hearing an 8MP may grace the device instead). We don’t have all the details worked out yet, but we do know that Apple is returning to the iPhone de 4 pulgadas que tenía en el iPhone 5. Esta es quizá una de las principales razones por las que el iPhone SE se llamó iPhone 5SE durante tanto tiempo: su parecido con el iPhone 5 es sorprendente en muchos aspectos. Esa cámara de 8 MP, si el rumor es cierto, coincidirá con la misma cámara trasera de 8 MP que tenían el iPhone 5 y el iPhone 5S cuando los dispositivos salieron a la venta hace más de 2 años.

The iPhone SE doesn’t sound revolutionary in nature, but it’s not designed to be. Many believe this is the low-cost iPhone Apple has been planning in the works, but its rumored price, $450-$500, isn’t cheap in the slightest. The iPhone SE, in this regard, is more akin to Samsung’s Galaxy Alpha, at the time of its release. When the Galaxy Alpha was released, it matched the same price point with some camera, screen resolution, and software compromises. One compromise for the iPhone SE, outside of its display size and perhaps its camera, will be la ausencia de 3D Touch on the device. Apple may be playing around with a tiered experience for the device, but we’re not sure this is a wise move for a company that really wants this feature to take off in the future.

Apple anunciará el iPhone SE en un evento público en Infinite Loop en Cupertino, California, la ciudad de su sede central, el lunes 21 de marzo a las 10AM hora del Pacífico (1PM EST), aunque los rumores fijó una fecha anterior, this week to be exact, for the big unveil. We may see an iPad Air Pro there, what could be a thinner and lighter (but larger) form factor for the iPad that was once just called “iPad” before morphing into the iPad Air, as well as un iPod Touch de nueva generación. Apple isn’t expected to announce iOS 10 or the next-generation Mac OS X update until this summer at its WorldWide Developer Conference (WWDC 2016).
