Hey, what's up guys, Steve from Cult of Mac here and today is the day
0:03
Finally, the iPhone SE and 9.7 inch iPad Pro have arrived. So in this video, I'm going to unbox the iPhone SE
0:11
Let's get started. So here you have it, the iPhone SE. I've got the space grey 16 gigabyte version
0:18
As you can see, it's the standard simple iPhone box. iPhone SE on the sides, Apple logo on the bottom and top
0:27
And yep, 16 gig version. So let's open this up
0:41
So obviously as you've seen from all the other videos we've got covering the SE, it looks
0:45
pretty much exactly the same as the 5S but with the internals of the 6S
0:51
So there it is. It looks pretty much exactly the same as the 5S
0:57
The only thing that gives it away is obviously the SE stamp there
1:01
So let's take a look at what else is in the box. I'm guessing it's going to be the standard affair
1:08
So we've got our SIM tool there, which actually looks a bit more wiry than usual
1:13
It's more like a paper clip than it was in the past
1:18
Also in the little packet, we've got our usual quick start guides, some information and the
1:24
Apple stickers. Then we've got the usual power brick. Some Apple earpods, which is probably the last time we're going to see these for a while
1:33
as we're probably going to switch to the lightning connector for the iPhone 7
1:37
And then the USB to lightning cable. Nothing too exciting with the box, wasn't expecting much really
1:43
Now let's take a look at the phone itself. So of course it's got the 4 inch retina display
1:49
So obviously this is 7.6mm thick, exactly the same as the iPhone 5S and 0.5mm thicker
1:55
than the 6S. It weighs very slightly more than the 5S, not that you can feel it in the hand
2:01
And internally it's got the same A9 processor from the iPhone 6S
2:05
On the back it's also got the 12MP iSight camera from the iPhone 6S
2:10
Oh and then we've got the new Apple aluminum logo. So let's peel the plastic off
2:18
It kind of feels a bit strange holding a brand new phone that is so small
2:22
Because obviously I've been running with the 6 Plus for two years now
2:27
So let's boot this on. I'm actually interested to see how much I struggle using this
2:32
Because obviously the screen is so much smaller, just simple things like typing
2:36
I'm going to find it a lot more awkward than I used to. So the iPhone SE has actually divided a lot of people
2:44
The one side everyone's complaining about Apple using a hardware design that's over
2:48
three years old, whenever it came out originally. Whereas a lot of people are happy to see the smaller form factor, with all the latest specs
2:56
inside from the iPhone 6S. And obviously compared to the 6S you're saving about, is it $250
3:02
I think the iPhone SE starts at $399, where the iPhone 6S starts at $649
3:10
Considering you're getting all the same specs as the 6S, I think it's actually a pretty
3:15
nice idea. Of course it could be cheaper to compensate with all the Android phones out there, but
3:23
come on it's Apple, it's never going to happen. Well that's it for this unboxing, but let me know in the comments down below what you
3:29
think of the iPhone SE. Is it a waste of time or is it a good introduction phone for a lot of people
3:34
