preface:

Apple's new product launch conference is undoubtedly the highlight of the mobile phone industry in the first half of the year, which is expected by many fans. The release of iPhone SE is a hot topic discussed by everyone. First of all, it brought two big surprises. First, this debut finally included mainland China. Second, SE created the lowest price ever for Apple's new product launch.

Are there any doubts about the release of Apple SE? On the one hand, it is speculated that Apple's leading edge in technology is getting smaller and smaller, so it can't continue to maintain high profits and cut prices in disguised form to gain greater market share. On the other hand, returning to Jobs' classic design, the small screen design has a better one handed operation experience. There are at least two such groups around me. One colleague doesn't like the big screen and chooses 5S after the 6 release, while the other colleague insists on the small screen and immediately orders after the SE release. Whatever the reason, the user-friendly price of new SE is always a good thing for consumers.

Unpacking:

The packaging style of SE is basically the same as that of the previous generation iPhone. The product pattern is outlined on the white paper box, but this time the product pattern is three-dimensional relief rather than plane pattern, which feels concave and convex, and looks taller.

The product list includes: iPhone SE mobile phone, charger, data cable, call headset, warranty card, card insertion pin, and some instructions.

The shape of SE follows the 5S design, and the appearance is basically the same. There is no difference, so it looks very familiar. If you don't look at the product model identification on the back, you can't tell which is SE and which is 5S.

Workmanship details:

SE design is basically nothing new. The top is an oval power key, silver frosted frame, arc shaped corner, and there is a signal belt 1cm from the top.

There are three buttons below the left signal band, namely, screen lock button, volume+, and volume -.

There is no button on the right side of the fuselage. There is only one Nano SIM card slot. You need to insert a card taking pin into a round hole to take out the slot. Install the Nano SIM card.

A light distance sensor, earpiece and front camera are installed on the top of the mobile phone screen. The front camera's pixel is 120W, which is not high in the current mobile phone configuration. It is absolutely enough to cope with the close-up self portrait. Of course, the quality of the camera cannot be measured only by pixels, but also by many other factors. Of course, it depends on the effect, It's good if the girl becomes beautiful.

At the top left corner behind the machine is a 12 million pixel, ƒ/2.2 aperture iSight camera. A variety of optimization functions can take better photos. The camera is equipped with a True Tone flash, which can fill the light in case of insufficient light, and can also be used as a flashlight.

The round Home button at the bottom of the main screen is also a fingerprint identification sensor for fingerprint identification. From the parameters of the official website, the second-generation fingerprint identification sensor with higher 6S accuracy is not used.

On the left side of the bottom of the machine is the 3.5 audio output interface, and in the middle is the Lightning data cable connection interface. Sound holes are distributed on both sides of the data connection interface. It is estimated that the number of sound holes on both sides is asymmetric due to the distance. No matter whether it is symmetrical or not, the actual effect is good. The voice is very loud. Don't worry about missing the call because you can't hear the ring tone.

The classic iPhone charger has always been imitated and never surpassed, with an output voltage of 5V and an output current of 1A.

Apple EarPods randomly distributes call earplugs with wire control. Wire control can not only control calls and adjust the volume, but also control the camera, which is very practical for people who prefer taking selfies. Of course, for me, I prefer the sound quality. This earplug has a balanced sound, transparent and bright, natural sound field, rich details of the instrument, and is not very strong, but it is very durable. The appearance looks like a hair dryer, bringing a comfortable wearing experience. It sounds a little better than the XE600 with Vivo mobile phone. Personally, it should be considered as the best earplug in the random earplug. Some people may also think that the bottom of the plug is a little thin, the bass is not heavy, and the sound is not powerful enough.

SE uses a 4-inch display screen. The size of the phone is relatively small, and it has a good one handed operation experience.

Model comparison:

At present, the trend of mobile phone development is not only thin, but also large screen. Now the mainstream screen size is between 5.0 and 5.5 inches. Can you go back to the era of small screen if you are used to large and thin mobile phones? Compared with Vivo X6, which one will you fall in love with?



Many people say that SE is a combination of 5S and 6S, with a 6S configuration and a 5S face. By comparison, if you don't look at the logo on the back, you can't tell which is 5S and which is SE.

Visual experience:

SE is equipped with a 4-inch Retina display with a pixel resolution of 1136 x 640 and a PPI of 326. The display effect is still very clear without obvious graininess.





Compare SE and Vivo X6. The screen brightness is adjusted to the highest. It feels that SE screen is warm and yellow, while Vivo X6 is cold and blue. SE screen color is more comfortable to see, not so tired.



Photo experience:

SE's rear camera is equipped with a 12 megapixel iSight camera and a True Tone flash, which works well in sunny days and at night.

The picture below is taken on a sunny day with sufficient light.

This is a picture taken at sunset when the light is weak.

Photos taken at night.

IOS system experience:

One of the characteristics of the iPhone is its iOS system, which is said to run smoothly, and does not need to be restarted for a month or two. It is a safe and stable operating system that is very reassuring. The system update prompt was received shortly after startup, and the latest version pushed was 9.3.1.

The classic GUI interface of iOS, with several practical tools built into the system. If you need some other applications, you can get them through the official App Store. The GUI of iOS system is still classic. Now many Android versions of GUI are very similar to it.  

It is very interesting to experience the cascading window design of iOS system. As long as you double click the Home button, you can drop programs running in the background to switch. This design is much more convenient than Android system.

AirDrop is a feature of iOS. It is similar to Bluetooth file transfer, but it is more convenient than Bluetooth in operating experience, but only supports Apple devices.

Now many enterprise APP applications are promoted to mobile phones, and can be accessed anytime and anywhere even when traveling on business. Like browsing emails, approving OA processes, or ERP processes. IOS APP is more stable than Android. Android systems have been deeply customized by various manufacturers, and there are more or less compatibility problems.

The iOS system management is defined in detail, and each APP can be managed for security without relying on third-party software.

Touch ID provides a reliable security guarantee for mobile phone security and mobile phone payment. The function of erasing data can prevent others from breaking passwords and stealing your private information.

The experience of iOS in games is not ideal. The problem of getting stuck and quitting automatically is encountered many times during the running of the game. In addition, the machine is also very hot. After playing for about 20 minutes, you will feel that the machine is relatively hot.



According to the convention, we still have to test the performance by running a minute. From the test results, the performance of SE is between iPhone 6 and 6S.

Summary:

The classic design style, high configuration and the lowest new product price in the history of the iPhone SE are great news for consumers. The performance of the SE is between 6 and 6S, while the price of the 16G version is only 3288. The price performance ratio is very high, which has great attraction for consumers. If you don't stick to the size of the screen, iPhone SE should be your choice!
