The iPhone SE (1st generation)<\/strong> combines the compact design of the iPhone 5s era with Apple’s A9 chip<\/strong>, a 12MP iSight rear camera, Touch ID, and 4K video recording. Originally introduced in 2016, it was designed for users who preferred a smaller 4-inch iPhone while still getting capable performance and camera features for its generation.<\/p>\n The iPhone SE (1st generation)<\/strong> features a compact 4-inch Retina IPS LCD display<\/strong> with a resolution of 1136 \u00d7 640 pixels at 326 ppi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Its small form factor makes it considerably more compact than later iPhone models. The design features an aluminium body with flat edges and a physical Home button, closely resembling the design of the iPhone 5s.<\/p>\n The display provides a typical maximum brightness of around 500 nits and was designed to deliver sharp text, photos, videos, and everyday interface elements within its compact screen size.<\/p>\n The iPhone SE (1st generation) is powered by Apple’s A9 chip with 64-bit architecture<\/strong>, paired with an embedded M9 motion coprocessor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The A9 features a dual-core CPU and provides the performance required for everyday tasks such as calling, messaging, browsing, music playback, photography, and compatible applications.<\/p>\n The M9 motion coprocessor handles motion-related data and enables features such as always-on \u201cHey Siri\u201d when supported by the installed software.<\/p>\n The iPhone SE (1st generation) features a 12MP iSight rear camera<\/strong> with an \u0192\/2.2 aperture.<\/p>\n The camera supports features including Live Photos, autofocus with Focus Pixels, True Tone flash, Auto HDR, panorama, burst mode, and face detection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It also supports digital zoom up to 5x for photographs.<\/p>\n Despite its compact design, the iPhone SE (1st generation) supports 4K video recording at 30fps<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It can also record 1080p HD video at 30fps or 60fps<\/strong> and 720p HD video at 30fps.<\/p>\n Slow-motion recording is supported at 1080p 120fps and 720p 240fps. Time-lapse video with stabilization is also available.<\/p>\n The device features a 1.2MP FaceTime HD front camera<\/strong> with an \u0192\/2.4 aperture.<\/p>\n It supports 720p HD video recording, Auto HDR for photos, Retina Flash, burst mode, and face detection.<\/p>\n The front camera can be used for FaceTime calls, selfies, and other compatible video-calling applications.<\/p>\n The iPhone SE (1st generation) features Touch ID<\/strong>, integrated into the physical Home button.<\/p>\n Touch ID provides fingerprint-based authentication for unlocking the device and supported security functions.<\/p>\n Users can also protect the device using a PIN and passcode.<\/p>\n The iPhone SE (1st generation) supports 4G LTE<\/strong>, Wi-Fi 802.11a\/b\/g\/n\/ac, Bluetooth 4.2<\/strong>, NFC for Apple Pay, GPS, and GLONASS.<\/p>\n It uses a nano-SIM<\/strong> and features Apple’s Lightning connector for charging and data connectivity.<\/p>\n The device also retains a 3.5mm headphone jack<\/strong>, allowing compatible wired headphones to connect directly without an adapter.<\/p>\n The iPhone SE (1st generation) uses a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery and charges through its Lightning connector<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It does not support Qi wireless charging or MagSafe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The available device is Open Box<\/strong> and comes with 85%\u201388% battery health<\/strong>, depending on the individual unit.<\/p>\n Actual battery performance can vary depending on battery age, condition, network usage, applications, display brightness, and individual usage patterns.<\/p>\n One of the most recognizable features of the original iPhone SE is its compact aluminium construction.<\/p>\n The flat-sided design, physical Home button, and 4-inch display make it noticeably different from modern all-screen iPhones.<\/p>\n Unlike newer models, the iPhone SE (1st generation) does not carry an official IP water and dust resistance rating<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Across its lifecycle, the iPhone SE (1st generation)<\/strong> was offered in four storage capacities:<\/p>\n At launch in 2016, Apple offered 16GB and 64GB variants. Apple later refreshed the storage lineup with 32GB and 128GB models in 2017<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The iPhone SE (1st generation)<\/strong> is best known for combining the compact iPhone 5s-style form factor with upgraded internal hardware from its era.<\/p>\n Its A9 chip, Touch ID, 12MP camera, 4K video recording, 4G LTE, and compact 4-inch Retina display<\/strong> provide the core features associated with the original SE generation.<\/p>\n For a product catalogue, using iPhone SE (1st generation)<\/strong> also clearly distinguishes the original 2016 model from the later iPhone SE (2nd generation) and iPhone SE (3rd generation).<\/p>\n Used & Refurbished iPhone SE (1st generation) Available<\/strong><\/p>\n Key Features<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
