News & Reviews:   Apple iPhone SE Malaysia launch

Just after a day from Apple's announcement of the Apple iPhone SE and 9.7-inch iPad Pro, Maxis has already put up their “Register of Interest” page for the iPhone SE in their website. For interested customers, all they have to do is input their name and email to submit the form and wait for further instruction. According to Apple, the iPhone SE will be released on 31 March 2016 but it will start in the US first, Malaysia is likely to get the device as well by the end of May. 

Apple has just launched their most powerful 4-inch smartphone with the Apple iPhone SE. Featuring an Apple iPhone 5S design with new colours like gold and rose gold, the iPhone SE will likely replace the iPhone 5S from $399 (RM1611) for the 16GB storage version and $499 (RM2015) for the 64GB storage version.

It will offer the latest Apple A9 processor with M9 motion co-processor, a 4-inch Retina display with 1136 x 640 pixel resolution, 12MP iSight camera, Touch ID fingerprint scanner and more. No Malaysia release dates yet but it is expected to go on pre-order on 24 May 2016 and arrive in 110 countries by the end of May (which should include Malaysia).

If you're searching for some Apple iPhone 7 rumours on Google, there's a good chance that you'd come across numerous sources of the device having dual cameras on the back. Taiwanese site Apple.club.tw (translated) just recently shared some images of a dual-camera module that could potentially be on the iPhone 7 Plus, matching several claims from few months ago. 

So finally, Apple has announced there will be indeed an event on 21 March dispelling the event date rumours. We have no idea what Apple is planning, but with all the previous rumours of the Apple iPhone SE, a 9.7-inch iPad Pro and a new second-generation Apple Watch, we won't be surprised if one of them make an appearance. 

Numerous renders about the Apple iPhone SE are appearing online now, including 9to5Mac's own depiction and another from OnLeaks thinking it should resemble the iPhone 5s and iPhone 6 mash-up together according to rumours. 

Apple can't seem to make up their minds, as just over the weekend, once known as the Apple “iPhone 5se” it is re-dubbed as the iPhone SE. Also, the rumoured 15 March Apple event is rescheduled to 21 March instead, at least according to Buzzfeed, Re/code and other sources.
