The upcoming 4-inch iPhone SE may be more exciting than initially speculated, since it now appears that the smartphone will rock a high-end iSight 4K video shooting camera.
Latest rumors indicate that Apple is currently developing a new demo video to display the 4K-capable camera of the upcoming iPhone SE, which is slated for a release on March 21. The 4K camera would place the iPhone SE side by side with the flagship iPhone 6s in terms of camera prowess.
A tipster told Apple Insider that the company is planning to tout the imaging power of the iPhone SE in the upcoming promotional clip that features a scene made up of 4K footage captured completely on-device. According to the source, Apple employees have been shooting at the New York location since last week, seemingly preparing for the big event. The publication could not verify the precision of these claims, and therefore, it is better to take the news with a grain of salt.
If the claims are to be believed, the upcoming iPhone SE would be closer to the iPhone 6s than initially thought. Reports indicated that the iPhone SE would pack the same Apple A9 processor as the iPhone 6s line. Furthermore, recent analysts hint at a 12MP rear camera as opposed to the 8MP shooter previously rumored.
The smartphone was also said to ship without 3D Touch feature, as the company apparently wants to differentiate the 4-inch model from high-end iPhones. The 4K iSight camera would reduce the differences, though.
iPhone SE will reportedly pack an NFC chip and support Apple Play, which is the company's reputable mobile payments solution. While the information remains to be a rumor, the 4-inch iPhone SE could be a real hit if it packs powerful specs and the same 12MP 4K camera with Live Photos as the iPhone 6s.
With regard to pricing, KGI securities project the iPhone SE to have a price tag of between $400 and $500, according to 9to5mac. For this reason, it is likely that Apple will push down the price of iPhone 5s to about $250.
With the March 21 event around the corner, fans will learn straight from the source. For now, watch the footage below to get a glimpse of what iPhone SE will look like.
