Apple unveiled a smaller, cheaper iPhone on Monday, stepping away from the bigger-is-better trend. The iPhone SE boasts a 4-inch screen and is set to replace the iPhone 5S and 5C models. It starts at $399 (AED 1465) and will be available for pre-order in the US, UK and other major markets starting March 24. It is expected to reach most markets including the UAE by early April. The phone will have faster LTE and Wi-Fi and will be available in the same colours as its predecessors - space grey, gold, rose gold and silver. Apple also launched a new iPad Pro with a 9.7-inch screen, which also come in an extra large 256GB version.
