The Apple iPhone SE (1st generation) is Apple's 2016 compact flagship, delivering iPhone 6s-level A9 performance in the beloved 4-inch iPhone 5s form factor. It features a 12MP rear camera capable of 4K video recording, Touch ID, NFC with Apple Pay, and a lightweight 113g body that was unique for its time. This was the last iPhone to retain a 3.5mm headphone jack in a 4-inch size, making it a favourite among users who valued a smaller device.
