Apple has released the smallest smartphone in comparison to its other models which are presently available in the market. It has been named iPhone SE and its starting price in India will be Rs. 39,000.
It’s for the first time that Apple releases a phone with screen size less than 4.7 inch and this is what the VP of product marketing for Apple, Greg Joswiak has to say about its launch, “Some people simply love smaller phones. And the 4in phone is often their first iPhone. Some people asked and pleaded with us. So we’re calling it the iPhone SE. Our most powerful 4in phone ever.”
Apple has diverted from the theory of “bigger the better” and tried to market its new smartphone as small and powerful. The launch got some great reviews but Twitter had mixed reactions over the new smartphone! While some Twitterati appeared to be unhappy with the product, few appreciated the move and talked about the good features of the phone.
There were some who liked the small screen like this user:
If u don't like the iPhone SE bc it's small then don't buy it? It wasn't made for u anyways ✋🏽 it's made for people who prefer small screens

Cost is still an issue:

Besides positive and negative remarks, a number of users were satirical on this launch:
Apple – “4 inches is totally acceptable.”

4 inches that is less cool at night in bed? Thanks for inventing my ex, Apple.

"The most powerful 4 inches ever" sounds like a Trump campaign slogan. #Appleevent
