The new Apple iPhone SE is here.

Yet, up until now, nobody knew what the 'SE' in iPhone SE stands for? Of course, there was no shortage of guesses: Second Edition? Super Encrypted? Smaller Experience?

Android fans were also quick to ridicule it: Still Expensive? Spares & Extras?

Well, guess what folks: it's none of these versions. Apple's marketing chief Phil Schiller has just confirmed that 'SE' stands for 'Special Edition'. And in a market, where it's practically the only such super-small phone, the new iPhone SE is truly a special thing.

The Apple iPhone SE is here and it has a hidden ace up its sleeve: battery life.

While there is no official info just yet about the actual capacity of the 4-inch iPhone's battery, Apple has provided the official battery life numbers and the iPhone SE beats not only the iPhone 5s that it succeeds, but also the more expensive iPhone 6s.

The biggest gains of up to 30% you'd see come in battery life while browsing and watching video, while for audio and 3G talk time the numbers between the iPhone SE and iPhone 6s are identical.

We have put together a table to show you the difference between the iPhone SE, iPhone 6s and iPhone 5s battery life right below:

	Apple iPhone SE	Apple iPhone 6s	Apple iPhone 5s
Audio	50	50	40
Video	13	11	10
Wi-Fi browsing	13	11	10
LTE browsing	13	10	10
3G browsing	12	10	8
3G talk	14	14	10

The murmur was true - Apple today announced a new 4-inch smartphone after a two-and-a-half year break. The Apple iPhone SE is official and here to please the crowd that simply loves smaller-sized devices, like all pre-iPhone 6 ones that made Apple a domineering force in the industry.

SOME PEOPLE ❤ SMALLER PHONES

With a display size of 4 inches, the iPhone SE is a munchkin when you put it next to the current crop of smartphones. Indeed, we struggled to think of any sub 4.5, let alone a 4-inch device that arrived in the past couple of years. The last noteworthy one was probably the iPhone 5s, which can be considered the direct predecessor of the iPhone SE.

So, how does the new small iPhone stack up against its rivals in terms of size and size only? Let us find out together!

Here's why this leaked photo of the Apple iPhone 7 is a fake

Here's why this leaked photo of the Apple iPhone 7 is a fake

Check the reflection by the arrow and you can see that the iPhone in the picture originally sported a 3.5mm earphone jack

Thanks to sophisticated technology, sometimes it is very hard to find when an image of a hot upcoming handset is a fake. Then again, sometimes the answer is staring you right in the face. Last week, a leaked photo of what allegedly was the Apple iPhone 7 showed that it was missing a home button. While a major change, it certainly wasn't totally farfetched. These days, a fingerprint scanner could be placed inside a phone's display, and a the use of 3D Touch could replace the features found with a home button.

In another shot of the same phone tweeted by @Onleaks, you can see that the 3.5mm headset jack is gone, which is expected to be the case when the Apple iPhone 7 is unveiled in September. But if you look at the photo carefully, you can see that a reflection of the phone revealed that the iPhone in the picture originally had the earphone jack on the bottom of the device before it was photoshopped. Look at the picture at the bottom of this story. Can you see the earphone jack?

The Apple iPhone 7 will most likely launch sans the 3.5mm earphone jack, but we think it is much less likely that Apple decides to remove the Touch ID button for now.

On March 21st, a mere week from today, Apple will hold a press event during which it is expected to roll out the 4-inchApple iPhone SE. As usual, there have been a few picturesand video claiming to show the handset. But if you're looking for a clear look at the device, you need to check out the video at the bottom of this article.

Before you hit the play button, don your cynical glasses and grab some NACL from the shaker, as you should take this clip with the necessary grain of salt. Especially since the end of the video contains a vocal disclaimer about the phone that is allegedly the iPhone SE. 

The video describes the iPhone SE as the "mixed blood of iPhone 5s and iPhone 6s." Certainly it resembles the iPhone 6s in looks with a screen size that harkens back to the 4-inch Apple iPhone 5s. It also appears to match the schematics of the phone that were leaked last month.

The Apple iPhone SE is expected to be powered by the same A9 chipset that is found under the hood of the Apple iPhone 6s and Apple iPhone 6s Plus. Despite the lack of 3D Touch, it will reportedly offer Live Photos. NFC and Apple Pay are both said to be supported, along with Touch ID. And a 12MP camera is rumored to be on the back of the unit. 

We should know all in just one week. In the meantime, you can click on the video below to see what is supposedly the Apple iPhone SE.

Moonshots: Samsung outs a '4D' VR headset, shower singing app, and the Waffle social platform

Samsung is pushing its Gear VR headset pretty heavily these days, giving it away to early adopters of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, and everyone else, like HTC or LG, hopes you will get on the virtual reality bandwagon soon enough. Well, not so fast, as one problem with current '3D' VR headsets is that you might go through the made-up worlds in front of your eyes swooshing like a ghost, but your body is not actually feeling the movements, so you are a kind of a spectator which can make you pretty dizzy.

The update that Spotify sent out for its Windows Phone app in February 2015 will be that app's final update. The music streamer has decided that it no longer is worth it to add the newest features for the small number of Windows Phone users. Yes, that hardy bunch will still have access to the app, but it will continue to fall behind the capabilities of the iOS and Android versions of Spotify.
