Review: Beyond size, what you get and give up with iPhone SE

NEW YORK (AP) — Unless you take a lot of selfies or need a bigger phone, Apple's new 4-inch iPhone SE is a good choice at a good price.

[...] that Apple has started taking orders, with shipments due in a week, keep these differences in mind:

[...] with software improvements, selfies taken with the SE came out better compared with the iPhone 5S it replaced.

— Though you get the same rear camera as the 6S, you don't get an image-stabilizing feature found in the jumbo iPhone 6S Plus.

— The SE lacks a barometer, which means fitness apps won't record stairs climbed.

The SE also lacks 3D Touch, in which you can press on an icon hard and harder for shortcuts and other options.

— The SE doesn't support "LTE Advanced" cellular technology, which can be twice as fast as regular LTE.

Sure, there are trade-offs, but at least Apple didn't try to pressure people into larger models by skimping on what matters most.
