Apple iPhone SE price, release date and country availability

Apple just took the wraps off its long-rumored small iPhone, which it dubbed the SE. We say small, as the screen is a 4-inch one, but this is just in comparison with the current iPhone 6s, while the SE is actually bringing Apple back to the roots of comparatively tiny, very manageable in the hand handsets.

There are still millions of iPhone 5s owners in the US, for instance, who are holding off an upgrade to a larger form factor, and yet yearn for the beefed up specs of Apple's current flagships, and that's exactly the market Apple is striving to address with the SE.

Another important advantage of the new small iPhone is that its price is also much smaller than the ones of its larger brethren. How much smaller? Well, check out the starting prices of the different versions below, together with the release date.
