Apple originally released the iPhone SE in 2016, and updated the device a year later, in 2017. The iPhone SE featured an overall small form factor with a 4-inch display and shared the exterior design found on the iPhone 5 and 5S. The 2016 release of the iPhone SE offered storage options of 16GB and 64GB, while the 2017 release offered 32GB and 128GB storage options. The iPhone SE, along with the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, was the last to feature a 3.5mm headphone jack. The iPhone SE also had Touch ID and a 12MP rear-facing camera that could record 4k videos at 30FPS.
