Although the launch of Apple’s latest four-inch screened iPhone is still to be confirmed, countless case manufacturers, leaks, rumors, and more are leaning in to tell us everything that is physically known about the upcoming iPhone SE. While some details, such as the software and certain capabilities will remain unknown until Monday, the geekerati have captured all the details about the handset.
That’s allowed the team at TechSmartt to once more fire up their design skills and 3D print the best representation of the iPhone SE we’ll have ahead of the launch event on the 21st. And it confirms something that I had suspected, but hoped would not happen.
Apple is forcing the fans of the four-inch form factor to buy many of their peripherals a second time.
Keaton Keller and Matthew Jones have worked with Sonny Dickson’s leaked sample cases to create a 3D model of the upcoming smartphone, and it reveals a number of physical traits. The volume and power keys have been repositioned slightly, the speaker holes at the base of the handset have been altered, and the 3.5 mm headphone jack remains in play – it looks like the big change to lightning/Bluetooth audio only isn’t going to happen until the presumptively titled iPhone 7 launch in September at the earliest.
What the 3D model clearly shows is that Apple has altered the internal volume of the iPhone SE when compared to the iPhone 5S range, and significantly altered the sides of the smartphone to remove the hard edge and go with a softer look. That is going to have two immediate repercussions that I can see.
