MyDrivers has posted some new details about Apple's much rumored 4-inch iPhone. The site claims that contrary to some reports, the 4-inch iPhone will resemble the iPhone 5s and be called the iPhone 5SE.

Foxconn insiders have allegedly revealed that the device will feature an A9 processor, 1GB to 1.2GB of RAM, a 1624mAh battery, NFC, VoLTE, 16GB and 64GB of storage, and start at 3,688 yuan ($560). Production of the device is said to have already started ahead of a possible March unveiling.

9to5Mac has also heard that the device will be called the iPhone 5 SE and has added some specifications to the list:
● Curved glass like on the iPhone 6 and 6s lines
● 8 megapixel rear camera and 1.2 megapixel front camera from the iPhone 6
● Support for larger panoramas and autofocus for video recording
● Barometer for tracking elevation in the Health app
● The A8 and M8 chips from the iPhone 6 (Note: this differs from MyDrivers)
● Bluetooth 4.2, VoLTE, and 802.11ac WiFi chips from the iPhone 6s
● Live Photos from the iPhone 6s

It's expected that Apple will discontinue the iPhone 5s and replace it with the iPhone 5SE.

Would you prefer a 4-inch iPhone with the design of the iPhone 5s or the design of the iPhone 6? Let us know what you think in the comments.

Love the 5s and not really into the 6, so it's a win win situation apart from the lack of wireless charger

4 inch phone rocks! Why would you want carry a tablet in your pocket?

I'd love to see this phone in a 32GB storage size to fill the gap left between the 16 and 64GB 6s.

Take my money!!!!

Stoked! Can't wait to get the smaller phone. The iphone 6 has so many design flaws im ashamed of apple over it. The 6 is a beautiful phone, but the size causes so many new issues and big hands or small its a two handed phone. Even with a lesser camera, im going back to the 4 inch phone.

Guys remember that they literally just made this up. There is no way I would believe this without cold hard evidence.

Sorry Typo in the last one. I hope they will call it iPhone 5 or 6 something. I think they should call it iPhone 7 Mini... (iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 7, and iPhone 7 Mini).

Better off buying a 5s ....they're asking 560 for 16gb really Apple, going backwards in time

gamerscul9870 - January 23, 2016 at 2:18am

Seriously? 16gb wasn't involved sometime because of the 4K video recording and it makes sense. I still own a 5s 16gb and like it.

5SE, Hmmm. What will Samsung call their version, 6SE I wouldn't be surprise. Mark my word.

stevenlacross - January 23, 2016 at 4:37am

Samsung would name theirs the S6E

M!Do Space - January 22, 2016 at 11:46pm

Definitely 5s-like design .. The 6 and above design is super lame to me!

Whatever old people want

It's a stupid name. And that video of a 4 inch iPhone 6 looks pretty legit to me. Make it thinner.

gamerscul9870 - January 23, 2016 at 2:16am

What if e stands for something? The 5s is upgraded to a newer version so the name has to change a bit somehow, and yes it'll be thin as mentioned before.
