iPhone 5se vs iPhone 5 Photo (Supposedly)

[ValO]

Better performance but not as good as an A9. I'd like to have a phone that will last me a long time, through multiple iOS upgrades, not a SOC that is already about to be onto its 2nd iOS upgrade cycle.

You would get real time performace as good as a a9 on a 6s plus that internally scales everything on a res that is almost 2 times as high as a 1136x640 res on the 4 inch iphone.

I am not saying that i am ok with a " new" 4 inch iphone with a 1136x640 res. That is my biggest problem, and i am surprised that your biggest point is the soc and not the res/display.

But if apple will go with a 1136x640 display the 2gb a8 is ample of power for the next 3 years.
For someone that has such high expectations i am surprised that the one thing you are critizing is the soc.

You are very naive to think that apple even could power a 4 inch iphone with the current a9 at the same clockspeed. They would have to turn down the clockspeed.
And when they do that , you would get the same benchmark results as a full speed a8 at 2gb.
But you would have your a9, marketing and numbers always win....

Wow, somebody just flushed their NDA down the poop drain
It's a known thing, that Apple's trusted devs get their goodies earlier.
My friend works for a fairly large iOS app developer and they get Apple stuff a few months earlier all the time.
They got the new MacBook earlier even though they don't develop for OSX, they got the iPad pro and Apple TV earlier and not just a while, a lot earlier, some 3 months before the official unveiling.
They've been clamouring about a new, smaller iPhone for a while, so at some point it has to come true.

All in all it is becoming kind of samsung-ish that break the offer up into all these small pieces, but it's Apple we're talking about, they know best if something's going to sell - *cough* Hunchback battery case *cough*.

You might want to look at your reality distortion field.

Its quite widely recognised that the 6 was not much of an upgrade from the 5S in terms of performance, compared to most other iPhone generations. The majority of those benchmarks show only small improvements between the 5S and 6 compared to much bigger differences between the 4 and 4S or the 4S and 5 or the 6 and 6S.

LOL what?

 

[mrbyu]

It's funny to see how you guys think it is going to make a difference if it has iPhone 6 specs or not, a bigger res screen or not, etc. Open your eyes.
95% of the potential iPhone customers couldn't care less, given that they get the "Apple experience".
Features (like Touch ID, 3D touch, etc.) are that matter, not a specification number...
Heck, even the speed and display quality of the 5S is not that much different from the latest iPhone's, do you think people will give a damn if this new 4 inch model has a somewhat less powerful CPU and lower res screen than that of the 6S / 7?
5% of the potential customers will care, the rest will be just happily living their life.

This has to just be a Photoshop job.

the reflection of the lamp being the same scale and the shadows of the person holding the camera seem to indicate it's a legit photo/device.

It is an optical illusion. Put an iPhone 5 and iPhone 6/S next to each other, raise the iPhone 5 with something (e.g. coins), put them right under a lamp to prevent shadows and create the consistent reflection, then take a picture from above. It’s a really nice job, admittedly, but you can see clearly that the proportions of the iPhone 5 are off (home button, chin) and that the right phone has the same proportions as the iPhone 6. A 4-inch phone would have bigger controls relative to its size, just as the reverse is true with the iPhone 6 Plus.

Agreed, it is a fake.

Just like the photo he posted of the ipad air. This was just a resized ipad mini.
Didn' t see a picture of the air 2 from the same person, because there was no ipad (mini) with touchid before the release of the air2/mini 3. So he couldn' t post a resize.

 

[bobob]

The veracity of the photo cannot be confirmed, but Gijs Raggers previously leaked photos of the original iPad Air in August 2013, nearly three months before the tablet was announced.

Are there any instances of this source being incorrect?

My wish for a 4" iPhone:

Better battery life, the latest processor and 128GB.

Don't care about Siri, Apple Pay, 3D Touch or Live Photos.

It looks so freaking CUTE

Haha, you got that down sir. Looking at it now, something about the 5 is clearly off. It casts ABSOLUTELY NO SHADOW on the table. Not even a tiny line as the alleged "5se" on the right.

 

[vmistery]

I think 6c sounds better. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me to call it a 5se yet put internals close to the 6 in (for example an A8 instead of the A7). Also, If it supports Apple Pay I will look like an idiot as well as I have been telling people only the 6 and above support it!

6C please Apple! No 5se!

See the reflection inside of the phone displays? You can see the iPhone which took the photo. On the left side, the reflected iPhone is taller than on the right side.

The phone on the right is just a rescaled iPhone 6. The reflection has not been adjusted entirely or it is an optical illustion in which the left phone is closer to the camera than the phone on the right. Hence close objects would seem bigger (reflected phone) and object further away (lamp shade) would stay the same size. Mystery solved. I marked it in my uploaded photo.

If you would post those photos after looking at them more closely, you would minimize the amount of fake shots like this because those guys dont get their fame for fakes...

It's an iPhone 6 mini

Does not look like an 6 mini. Looks like a 5/5S.

Hence . . . . .

It does look like a 6 mini. Check the antenna bands.

With those square edges this thing reeks of 5/5S but if your imagination has you thinking it looks like a 6 mini, enjoy!

 

[Belly-laughs]

got the 6+ but would not mind having a 4" for the more formal occasions.

What square edges? It's your imagination that is running amok here..

It's clearly a smaller iPhone 6, photoshopped or not.

Gosh, you're right! if you trace the reflected corner of the phone used to photograph them, the reflection is bigger on the 5 than on the purported 5SE

What a cunning scallywag

Sorry but still not looking like a 6/6S to me. Like I said enjoy

 

[smacrumon]

These aren’t really Apple “rumours”, they are deliberate leaks, and read so. They have become predictable as well. Apple has enormous resources to keep future products entirely secret and it really should. I long for the day of genuine surprises at launch.

 

[Nik]

It is not a leak, it is a fake. See post 137 !

 

[Anaxarxes]

Power button on the side of a 4-inch phone makes no sense. I'd say fake.

Are you trolling or something?

You are saying that this:

Doesn't look like this:

But instead looks like this?

 

[Newtons Apple]

Seems too!

 

[bobob]

Seems too!

Definitely much.
