As a budget, it is not expected that iPhone 5se to match the latest iPhone 6s, but we hope it will have the performance close to the iPhone 6s. Current rumors points out that the iPhone 5se will be powered by A8 processor instead of current A9 chip used in iPhone 6s.

To make affordable, Apple replaced the premium metal and glass builds with a colorful plastic shell in iPhone 5c. The built was solid, but it looks far less premium or stylish than other Apple iPhones. We would love that the rumored iPhone 5se to come with a premium design.

The iPhone 5c is 9mm thick and we expect to see the iPhone 5se to be around 6.9mm thick like the iPhone 6.
