iPhone SE Repair

Background and Identification ¶ 

The iPhone SE, released March 31, 2016, is Apple's successor to the iPhone 5S as a low-cost alternative to their flagship iPhone 6s/6s Plus lineup. Like the iPhone 5S, the SE features a 4-inch, 1130-by-640 Retina display and TouchID sensor in the exact same form factor. Internally, the SE has the same A9 processor and 12-megapixel iSight camera as the 6s/6s Plus, but does not lacks a 3D touch display. Storage options include 16 or 64 GB flash memory, and color options include Silver, Space Grey, Gold, and Rose Gold. The iPhone SE is distinguished from the 5S by the SE label printed on the rear case, as well as its matte chamfered edges, and the model number, A1662 or A1723, printed on the rear case.
