When the SE iPhone was released, many saw it as an iPhone 6S in a packing iPhone 5S. In fact, according to Chipworks site, the thing is a bit more complex than that, since the iPhone SE actually uses components of the iPhone 5S, as well as the iPhone 6, 6S and some entirely new components. That is, there are four generations of components used, manufactured between 2013 and 2016, plus some modifications made by Apple, such as the introduction of Rose Gold color, which was not available when the iPhone 5S was announced (by the way, it marked the adoption of golden color with it). But what comes from where? It’s because? When?
Chip Apple A9
This is the same present in the iPhone 6S, model TSCM (APL1022), one of the points most prominent iPhone SE. Interestingly it comes with the inscription “1604″ indicating that it is the same batch used by Apple releases in 2015. That is, it is not designed for the iPhone SE, but repurposed models not manufactured, but the same is not true for the 2 GB LPDDR4 module of RAM, this coming from Hynix, which bears the inscription “1549″, probably produced in January this year, according to Chipworks.
the 16-GB module internal memory was produced by Toshiba (THGBX5G7D2KLDXG) using 19 nanometer fabrication process. As new models of the company have already migrated to the process of 15 nm, it may indicate that Apple chose older models, and therefore cheaper, to try to reduce the final price of the iPhone SE.
Sensors
Starting with NFC the model used in the iPhone SE is the NXP 66V10, the same iPhone 6, noting that it is only used for Apple Pay, having a general purpose as with other platforms. The same goes for the 6-axis inertial sensor, Qualcomm modem MDM9625M and infrared transceiver WTR1625L, audio drivers and 338S00105 338S1285, they also found in the iPhone 6. That is, in relation to connectivity, the SE iPhone is basically an iPhone 6.
screen Controller
Used to more than five years by Apple on several products (Macbook Air, Macbook Pro , iPads, iPhones and even in iPods), the Broadcom BCM5976 chips and Texas Instruments 343S0645 were reused on the iPhone SE. Indeed, were the same used in the iPhone 5S.
Power Management
Apple made a beautiful one splurge on autonomy improved iPhone SE, despite the 1642 mAh battery does not indicate great things. Well, Apple actually did something different at this point, using a brand new power controller in iPhone SE, known by the friendly name 338S00170.
Screens and housing
the components reused iPhone SE can be summarized basically the physical aspects of the device, as the same housing and screen. The screen is exactly the same as the iPhone 5S, which does not mean necessarily that they are not new, as well as the structure of the iPhone 5S in three colors they were announced. In this case, the economy would be research and development, as the project was ready.
In other words, Apple took what they could take, He rose old components, used what was best in places and created new components to put everything together and announce the iPhone SE. You can understand the company’s motivation in keeping his price comparatively lower (compared to the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus).
