Apple's new smartphone may be small, but it's hella powerful. THE LAUNCH of the iPhone SE was one of Apple's most low-key to date, but we've come to the surprise conclusion during our time with the 4in handset that it's one of the firm's most interesting releases so far.

Not only is the iPhone SE Apple's cheapest smartphone, it's the most powerful. Unlike the plastic-clad iPhone 5C before it, the latest cut-price iPhone offers near-identical specs to the flagship iPhone 6S, stuffed inside a smaller shell and powering a downsized 4in display.
