This iPhone SE teardown is pretty much what you’d expect<article>

Usually when groups like iFixit and Chipworks break open a popular new gadget, they turn up some sort of surprise. But that’s not the case with the
iPhone SE.</p><p>
In
Chipworks’ iPhone 5 SE teardown, Apple’s first 4-inch phone since 2013 is exactly what it seems to be. Most of its internal components are transplants from last year’s iPhone 6s, including an identical A9 processor, 2GB of RAM, NFC chip, motion sensors, modem, and transceiver.</p><p>
One notable exception is the touchscreen controller, a combination of Broadcom and Texas Instruments parts that Apple used in the iPhone 5s. This makes sense, given that the iPhone SE has a smaller screen than the previous two iPhone models, and unlike the iPhone 6s does not support 3D Touch. (The iPhone SE also uses the iPhone 5s’ Touch ID sensor, rather than the newer, faster version in the iPhone 6s, but
we knew that already.)</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3050322/consumer-electronics/this-iphone-se-teardown-is-pretty-much-what-you-d-expect.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
