New 4-inch iPhone also was not supported by the display technology pixels Dual-Domain, which improves viewing angles.
4. Touch ID is the second generation

10. Called The Taptic Engine
The iPhone 6s a linear actuator called the taptic Engine has replaced the classic vibrating motor. Basically it was necessary to provide accurate 3D Touch. Called the taptic Engine provides more precise and rapid oscillations of varying strength. Thanks to a special mechanism inside the body, like the gadget for the user in response. The lack of this module in the iPhone SE was not a surprise.
