This is persuasive, but I wonder why they didn't test the SE. Maybe because the 5S is older but quite similar/appeals to the same market?


The SE is basically a 6 in the 5S form factor.


It has the 6S's internal hardware, not the 6's. So it's way more powerful than the 6, let alone the 5S.


There are actually two phones called iphone se. It was updated from iphone6 hardware to iphone6s hardware partway through it’s life cycle withou a change to the name. The updated SE is also availible in rose gold while the original was not.


That is not true at all. There’s only ever been one SE and it was always based on the 6S hardware. The closest thing to a refresh was a mid-cycle bump to the base storage.


The iPhone SE launched with 6S internals and has never been changed except for a storage bump and a price drop.
