Rumor has it that Apple users who wish for a smaller iPhone will soon have one, and it will be called iPhone 5se (or iPhone 5 Special Edition). Beep recently unveiled a video capturing a hands-on with an iPhone 5se at Huaqiangbei Shenzhen in China, an area popularly known as the "Silicon Valley of the East." It was compared to the iPhone 5s and iPhone 6s to give viewers an idea on what to anticipate with Apple's upcoming mini powerhouse.

In the video, the iPhone 5se is a rounded-type iPhone, which is completely expected from Apple. With a pink hue and metallic built, the body color seems a bit more vibrant and is relatively thinner than the other iPhones. However, the iPhone 5se in the video won't power on hence viewers suspect it to be a pre-production model only.

Japanese site Mac Otakara claims having information from a third-party vendor stating that the rumored iPhone 5se may come in three color variations: Silver, Space Gray, and a pink shade that's different in comparison with the Rose Gold of the iPhone 6s. ZDNet reports suggest that the price of the iPhone 5se can be anywhere between $350 and $450.

In a report by Bloomberg, a source familiar with the details disclosed that Apple will introduce an improved iPhone with a 4-inch screen. The pocket-friendly handset will look similar to the iPhone 5s launched three years ago, along with improved features. One of which is Apple's faster A9 processor that is presently in the iPhone 6s.

Most probably, the iPhone 5se will be on March 21 during Apple's special event, which will be held at Apple's campus in Cupertino, California. The company sent e-mailed invitations without divulging other specific details, reports say. According to rumors, once the iPhone 5se is released, it will likely be available for pre-order that same day.st/
