Summary :
Apple has revealed plans for all its devices in the coming year including a more intelligent Siri and Messages app, quicker Apple Watch and easier to use laptops.
At the technology firm's annual software conference, WWDC, chief executive Tim Cook and fellow executives revealed software updates for all of Apple's products - iPhone, iPad, Mac computers, Apple Watch and Apple TV - with Mr Cook saying the company's work "should lift humanity".
The annual refresh of the mobile operating system saw iOS 10 unveiled. The most prominent feature revolves around the Messages app, which has seen its interactivity expanded. Users will be able to replace words with emoji in a single tap, and send handwritten notes, while special "invisible ink" messages will appear when the screen is swiped, and animations can be added to a conversation that fill the entire screen.
The app has also been opened to developers for the first time so it can be used to complete financial transactions and other tasks.
The move is seen by some as a response to the growing popularity of other messaging apps, including WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.
As part of the update to Apple's desktop computer software, OS X was renamed macOS, with this year's version named Sierra after the mountain range that spans California and Nevada.
Siri, Apple's voice-based virtual assistant, has been added to the Mac for the first time, as has the ability to pay using Apple Pay. An option to use the payment service will appear on websites, with confirmation requests sent to a user's phone, where they can use their fingerprint to authorise them.
Mac users will also be able to use their Apple Watch to unlock a Mac when in close proximity to their laptop.
Apple Music, the subscription-based streaming service launched at WWDC last year, was also given a redesign after many reported the app to be too confusing to use. A user's existing music library has been pushed to the front of the app, with more playlist suggestions being offered by Apple.
All the updates showcased are being made available to developers this week, ahead of free upgrades for all Apple customers in the autumn.
Mr Cook took time out at the beginning of the presentation to pay tribute to the victims of the Orlando shootings, telling the auditorium that Apple offered its "deepest condolences to everyone whose lives were touched by the violence", before leading a moment's silence in tribute.
India at WWDC
There was quite a bit of India at the WWDC keynote from Priyanka Chop featuring on the homescreen of the redesigned Apple Music app to Craig Federighi, Apple’s SVP Software Engineering (macOS, iOS 10), trying to order a deconstructed samosa from a Indian food cart using the revamped messaging app. Indian food ordering app Zomato found a mention when new features in Maps where being shown. However, there was more for the Chinese audience, as it is still a much bigger market for Apple.
Watch WWDC 2016 keynotes in the following video:
WhatsApp has got a new feature that will let users quote messages when replying. While earlier this week, the new feature was spotted in beta builds of WhatsApp for Android, it is now rolling out for most users across Android and iOS running the general release builds from Google Play and the App Store.
The message quotes and replies feature is self-explanatory and the user needs to long press a message in any conversation to see a reply option pop up alongside star, delete, forward, and copy.
On tapping the reply button, the original message will appear as a quote, and users can reply to that. On the receiver's end, the quoted message will appear as a grey box with the reply below it. The feature works on one-to-one chats as well as group chats.
The last month update to the platform was last month - the addition of documents sharing on WhatsApp Web. Shortly before that, the company rolled out its first desktop app for Windows and OS X.
After a month of beta testing, WhatsApp has finally rolled out v2.12.250 to Android users, which brings a number of features to the popular messaging app. Not only do you get more control over your messaging options with the new update, it also gives you more emojis and decreases the amount of data used in WhatsApp calls.
5 new features that the latest WhatsApp update has brought to Android:
- Android users can mark messages as unread even after reading them.To be clear, this feature does not make it appear as if you have not read the message yet, and your messages will appear as read to senders even after you mark them as unread. Instead, it can be used to highlight messages so you can get back to them later.
- Custom notifications: WhatsApp is bringing its whole set of custom options, which were available only for the whole app till now, for individual contacts.
For example, if you want to set a specific ringtone for a contact, you can select any song from your playlist, so you know the messages and calls are from that particular person even without looking at your smartphone.
Similarly, you can set notification light colours, custom call and message contain ringtones, enable or disable vibrations and pop-up notifications for each contact.
- Mute individual contacts :
Till now, we have only been able to mute group conversations, but with the new update Android users are able to mute individual contacts as well.
If you want to mute any person on your contact list, check the Mute bar in the About menu. Slide the Mute bar to the right and you will see duration for which you can mute the chat: 8 hours, a week, or a year.
- Lower data consumption in WhatsApp calls:
If you make a lot of WhatsApp calls and want to reduce your data consumption, WhatsApp has added a new option in the app for that purpose.
Under Chats and Calls menu in Settings, you will notice a new option called Low Data Usage at the bottom of the scroll. Just click the box and you will be able to save some data while making voice calls using WhatsApp.
- New emojis and more skin tones:
The new update brings a set of new emojis to WhatsApp for Android, c such as the Spock salute, the rather- rude middle finger, more diverse facial emojis, and a bunch of LGBT c emojis. On top of that, several emojis now come in different skin tones.
- But no Google Drive integration
Though we saw Google Drive integration in the beta testing stage, the latest Android update for WhatsApp has excluded it. We expect it to be rolled out in the near future, and make backing up chats, images, videos, voice messages etc much easier.
Maths is not strong suit for everyone. It is said that maths is tough for those who do not apply their whole brain or lack practice. I am not criticizing maths strugglers as people living in glass houses shouldn't throw stones on others.
Literally my way of doing maths:
- Write down the problem.
- Cry
But god has shown mercy. Thanks to the wonders of IRT (Image Recognition Technology). Now we have MATHPIX, an iOS app that lets you point your phone camera at a problem and calculates solutions in seconds which is first technology that can solve handwritten maths problems. Mathpix was envisioned by Stanford PhD student Nico Jimenez. This app provides a step-by-step guide to reach the correct solution.
The interfere looks like any standard camera app. Simply drag on-screen reticle over the equation and the app solves it. It also provides you with multiple methods to reach a solution, making it a divine educational tool. It uses image recognition to process problems and pings its servers to do the mathematical heavy lifting, so it requires internet connection to work.

Spending tracker
Spending tracker is a very useful app for people like me. I mean I usually lose track of how much money I have been spending in the month or sometimes I think I lost money! But the actual problem is I don’t remember where I have been spending money.
So basically what spending tracker does is it keeps track of you’re out flow and inflow of money. All you have to do is every time there is an outflow or inflow of money you will have to open the app and record the transaction. Now you must be thinking who has the time to do it every time you spend some cash but once you bring this in routine it will help you a lot.
Spending tracker has different categories like petrol expense, food expense and other expense so you can even manage how much money you have spent on which category.

We all have been there, trying to type a text and getting frustrated how slow this crazy app works, after a while we eventually get used to it, and think that typing on smartphone keyboards is one of impossible task (apart from waking up at 5:30 in morning), Smartphone keyboards are never fast enough, never autocorrect properly and often lead to frustration. Can you relate to these problems? Then check out our tips to increase your typing speed on keyboard apps for Android.
Using One Hand Mode
Trust me with one, you can type faster with one hand compare with two on your smartphone, just for that reason Google have released one hand mode for its app. Its simple to you and keeps your other hand free for other tasks.You also have the choice of sharing "small snippets" of input with Google to "improve Google Keyboard for everyone." Presumably that ties into the keyboard's suggestions and making word prediction smarter. The keyboard's height can be adjusted between five different choices ranging from short to tall, with "normal" as the middle point between them.
What do you need to do ?
- Update your Google keyboard to latest version from here .
- Open any app, say WhatsApp and open your Google keyboard, Once it start press and hold Enter for a while.

- Tap on third icon that float out.
- Boom you are ready to use your keyboard with one hand.

Let your word do typing for You
If your hands aren’t free — or you just feel like dictating — you can tap the microphone button on the keyboard and enter words just by speaking them.

This feature sends your voice input to Google’s speech recognition service, where it’s examined, converted to text, and sent back to your phone. This means that it requires an Internet connection, but the approach of using Google’s massive computing power makes it surprisingly accurate.
What do you need to do ?
To enter punctuation marks while using voice recognition, just say “period,” “comma,” “question mark,” “exclamation mark,” or “exclamation point.” Android will enter the appropriate punctuation mark instead of the words.
Swipe to Type
The default keyboard in Android 4.2 gained the ability to type words simply by swiping your finger over them.

What do you need to do ?
To type a word by swiping, simply touch the first letter and glide your finger over the letters — for example, to type Geek, touch the G, move your finger to the E, and then move your finger to the K. Android will try to guess what you’re typing, displaying it above the keyboard. Lift your finger and the word will be typed. You can do this to type many words in sequence quickly, lifting your finger from the screen in between each one.
Sharing from one platform to another isn't an easy task. Sharing simply means we have to copy link from one app then paste it to another. Now, as we all know Google has most creative mind and a big bunch of innovative ideas. Spaces is one key to sharing problem from that big bunch.
Spaces provides platform where we can find and share articles, videos and images without leaving the app, since Google Search, YouTube, and Chrome come built in.
When we are having a group conversation with lot of chit chat type friends, then leaving conversation even for a minute simply means losing complete track of conversation. Also in these types of conversations important notes get lost in endless threads.
With Spaces Google has tried to build a platform with better group sharing experience. When something new is shared by anyone to Spaces, the conversational view lets us see what the group is talking about without missing a beat. Spaces lets people get together instantly to share around any topic.
And if we want to search for some image, video, article or even comment which was shared many days before, its easy to find it with Spaces.
Spaces is very easy to use, with just one tap on '+' you can create new space. After creating assign it title then start inviting your friends via messaging, email, a social network, or whatever way you like. For different topics we can create any number of space.
Google in its blog has written "We’ll also be experimenting with Spaces this week at Google I/O. We’ve created a space for each session so that developers can connect with each other and Googlers around topics at I/O, and we've got a few surprises too. If you’re joining us in person at I/O, make sure you install Spaces on Android or iOS before you arrive!"
Spaces was rolled out yesterday, i.e. May,16th. Spaces can be used on Android, iOS, desktop, and mobile web for all Gmail accounts. Give it a try and create your first space today.
Society has transitioned into a post -PC era. Most people are using mobile platform to perform various everyday task instead of a computer or a laptop. This year it's estimated that thirty are about 2 billion active mobile user on the phone. There phones are capable of doing various jobs like mobile banking , social media and also an unforgettable game like candy crush.
In addition to the host of many productive apps, these platforms have become great for gaming.
Their is a a lot of hype that which mobile platform OS the best. All of geeks are arguing which is the best of all. It's no secret that Apple started the mobile smartphone movement and truly opened the gate for a full migration from our PCs. In three recent years Android has showed is capabilities, the Android OS had really com into its own and took the world by storm.In fact, the current estimate report that the Android OS commands approximately 70% market share in the mobile OS arena.
Each of the major mobile platform is evaluated from both side, as a user and a development point of view. As important as the user experience has become, any mobile OS is only as good as the developer makes it for the user.
Platforms have their strengths and weaknesses. Depending on what you're already using and what you want to get out of your computing experience, any one of these three choices may be the superior option. Understanding your own goals and each platform will deliver the most positive experience possible. Failing to understand this will lead to disappointment. Fortunately, I'm here to try and help you make sense of the options available.
iOS
Apple has truly innovated the mobile OS when it introduced the first smartphone OS in 2007. Since that time the world has literally transformed into a post -PC era society expecting to live to live at the speed of information.
iOS was the one which offered users downloadable application 2010, once again turned the table by the introduction of iPad. a device that experienced success in each year till now. But now it's upset line is being competed by the another companies like Microsoft with its surface tablet line up.
Android
I believe that the not only Android the most popular smartphone OS but it is also positioned to be the dominant tablet and hybrid OS but the end of 2015 it's no wonder that Android (in some ways) is called the windows of the mobile platform. With multiple companies manufacturing there device powered but Android. After all Android give more flexibility to the user that iOS can match any time soon.
Android is the middle ground. With many of the features (and liabilities) of a true mobile OS, Google has tried to walk a line in offering the same kind of intuitive, light-weight mobile experience as iOS but with the power and flexibility of a traditional Windows desktop OS. They've done a pretty good job at this, which is reflected in the popularity of this platform.
However, the process has not been without compromise. In making a more flexible and powerful platform that supports more devices.While that may sound good to a lot of potential users, it means that Android is not as stable, predictable, or well designed as iOS. Things are just a little
less polished.
At the same time, for true power users, Android falls just short of being able to deliver a completely satisfying experience. I've been using Android daily for several years. I can leave the PC notebook at home for trips and travel, but I've had to adjust and learn "work-around" methods that include saving the heavy lifting for a real PC. For some users, this is good enough. If you want a little more power on the road but are still okay with needing a PC to finish things up when you return, Android may be a good solution for you.
Conclusion
After such a great success in recent years they saw the face of loss, this year Apple have declined in the profit but in India they grew 56%. But there Android never was behind apple in any way, if we compare each company differently, the companies were always behind apple in the revenues but Samsung was the one who wore the crown of selling the most number of moving phone in 2015.
iOS has been one of the best user experience that smartphone industry has provided to users. Apple is very particular about its updates. As soon as the jailbreak industry starts focusing to jailbreak the new iOS version Apple is out with another IOS version with more features and bug fixes. But people jailbreak is not necessary to improve your IOS experience here are some tips and tricks.

Low power mode
One of the best feature that I love of IOS 9 is LOW POWER MODE if you aren’t satisfied with the battery backup of your iphone LOW POWER MODE will work as a life savior for you. Basically what it does is allow you to temporarily reduce power consumption by closing things like background app refreshment back ground app activities some visual effects are turned off. This feature saves lot of battery and that is what people want lots of battery you may have seen people carrying power banks with there iphone trust me people if you are at IOS9 you don’t need it any more.
Reduce motion
Lot of people feel the animation speed is slow and apple needs to speed it up. so here is what apple did now you have a feature that you can access in accessibility menu in general settings by turning this feature on it reduces the amount of animation on your iphone and looks like the phone is acting more faster than earlier . It may also save some battery for you.
Search bar in setting
The new update has brought you search bar in the setting so that you can quickly access the settings that you need to change all you have to do is go to settings and swipe down your finger and you will find a search bar.
Back to app
Back to app feature so basically what it does is suppose you are in WHATSAPP and having a pretty good time chatting with your friends suddenly you get a FACEBOOK notification and you directly click on the notification and switch to FACEBOOK now when you are done with FACEBOOK you will get a option to directly switch back to WHATSAPP where you have left on the top left corner of your screen this save a lot of time and you don’t have to go to your spring board again to switch back.
Swipe to dismiss and thumbnails in photos app
So you are in the photos app you just accidently clicked on the photo you dint wanna open so rather than clicking on the back button what you can do is swipe down your finger from up to down this will close the photo. The thumb nail view is also one of the great update in photos app you have a thumbnail view of other photos to which you can switch directly without closing the present photo.
Ambient light
Basically if you put your phone facing down the phone will not light up when you get a notification because the phone knows no body is looking at the screen. This feature also helps in saving battery life.
Quick reply
Whenever you get a notification you can swipe down with your finger on the notification and quickly reply without opening the app. This may save a lot of time.
6 digit passcode
Must needed and important feature that I almost forgot to tell you guys. Now you can have 6 digit passcode rather than 4 digit all you have to do is go to settings then go to passcode click on the passcode option and then select 6 digit.
Hope these details may help to improve your IOS experience.Do you know any trick that you want to share with us, comment that in section dwn below..
On March 21, 2016, Apple finally released the new iOS 9.3 update for everyone to download and install. Beta versions of this update first rolled out in January but it was only in March when Apple officially released it to the general public. This update does not really come with any significant interface updates but it has new functionalities such as the Night Shift which enables users to shift to warm colored tones so that viewing the iPhone would be easier on the eyes at night. Is this feature enough for you to update to the latest iOS?
Compatibility
Unlike the past iOS updates, the 9.3 can be downloaded by a vast number of Apple platforms. This includes the iPhone 4s and late, the iPod touch 5th generation and onwards, the iPad 2 onwards and the iPad mini 1st generation and onwards. To begin the update, simply go to Settings > General > Software Update.
Even though this update can be downloaded by more Apple users, not all features can be utilized by all especially the new Night Shift functionality. This feature can only be enjoyed by the following: iPhone 5s or later, iPad Pro, iPad Air or later, iPad mini 2 or later, and the iPod touch (6th generation).
Common Problems
Like all of the previous iOS releases, the 9.3 comes with a few kinks. Usually, Apple’s answer to these bugs is another system update but that could take weeks. Here are a few common reported problems with the new iOS 9.3 and how to fix it.
No iOS 9.3 Update Available
If your Apple gadget is compatible with the new iOS 9.3 update and you still do not see an option to update your iOS, the next best thing is to try to update via iTunes on your Mac or PC. Ensure that your computer has the latest iTunes installed. Connect your Apple device to the computer. Once connected, select Summary then Check for Update. The iOS 9.3 update should appear, prompting you to update.
Reduced Battery Life
If you are an Apple device user especially the iPhone, you’d know that the battery is not its strongest suit. Apple devices are known to have a short battery life and this iOS 9.3 update does not address that problem. Infact, it makes things worse. Users have complained that since updating their phone to the 9.3, their battery life has significantly reduced.
According to experts from forums that discuss this problem, a quick fix would be to do a reset once a week until Apple releases a new software update that will address this problem.
Touchscreen Issues
Many users are experiencing touchscreen issues since updating to iOS 9.3. Some have reported that their touchscreen would not respond or apps would freeze without you being able to prompt swipes or touches to exit the app. To fix this, hold down the home button and the power button until you see the apple logo. Users suggest to do this three times in a row to avoid the issue from coming back.
Why You Should or Shouldn’t Install
So after everything we’ve discussed regarding the new iOS 9.3 update, the question remains, should you update or not?
- Install if you frequently use your phone at night and if you think you’ll benefit from the new Night Shift function
- Install if you've already downloaded the 9.3 beta from a few months ago since the official 9.3 download fixes all the bugs from the beta testing release last January
- Don’t install if your device is jailbroken because if you do so, this will restore your phone to its factory settings since there is no available jailbreak release for iOS 9.3

He has had experience in buyer and inventory forecasting, marketing, and expanding customer base in new markets.

“Technology is solely meant to make human life better and what better than using it for the security of women?” said Ravi Shankar Prasad, Minister of Communications and Information Technology.
Essentially, phones will have to ensure the facility of the panic button by pressing numeric key — 5 or numeric key 9 — to enable an emergency call. On smartphones, the order says that a customer should be able to make an emergency call by pressing either a special panic button for a long time, or use the existing power button to do the same by pressing it thrice in quick succession.
The new rules were announced by India's telecom ministry to improve safety for women. While the numeric keys 5 and 9 will be used for panic buttons in feature phones, smartphone manufactures will have to introduce a new button or feature to send emergency alerts.
All manufactures, including Apple and Samsung, will have to abide by the new rules and introduce this software updates for phones sold in India. Smartphone users should be able to make an emergency call by pressing the panic button for a long time, or by pressing the power on and off button in quick succession three times.
The feature had been first proposed by India’s minister for women and child development Maneka Gandhi last year, with Gandhi calling for the introduction of physical panic button on mobile phones last year.
Yet, the Indian government’s new measure will make emergency assistance available to a much bigger number of women and in a much more convenient way.

Google has announced new feature of Maps for Android and iOS. Maps will now allow users to choose from various alternate routes and it will also give explanation for its recommendation. It will also inform users, that the route it is suggesting is shorter or it avoid traffic jams.

Summer is here, and many of us might be planning for a road trip to hill stations, but delay due to road traffic might reduce all the fun. Luckily, Google Maps has new feature which will help us to avoid road traffic and also gives most suitable route for our journey. The company launched this feature for US users in last May.
Sanket Gupta, Product Manager, Google Maps stated in a blog post, “Luckily, Google Maps can help you find the most ideal route to your destination with the least delays. Just in time for you to hit the road, we’ve updated Google Maps with new traffic alerts to help you avoid jams.”
When we will give destination as input to Google Maps, we will get a spoken alert for upcoming traffic conditions that will helps us to identify the quickest route. Google Maps will also tell if their is jam ahead then for how time we will be stuck their. In addition, it will also give the explanation for its recommending a particular route. If a user is in navigation mode on their iOS or Android device, they will see these updates automatically.
iOS 9 was released on September 9 2015. First devices to ran the new operating system were the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. Currently, there are 21 devices that have been upgraded to the latest OS. On March 31 new version of iOS 9 was released i.e. iOS 9.3.1, that fixes the bug causing applications to become unresponsive and to crash when tapping on a web link.

Now, some of feature and hidden tricks of this OS are:
1.) To call someone from your list of contact, we have to type its name and Siri (Get Siri-ous), the virtual assistant of Apple devices with its predictive search capability, will find that contact immediately. On the left side of the home screen, you’ll see the picture of that contact and in its right side you’ll find the three options: to make a voice call, to send a message or to make a video call.
Notes app allows you to create To Do lists, then sync them to other devices running on iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan. After creating a new note, tap on the plus symbol placed above the keyboard, then start adding new items and finally, make the list complete by tapping on the circle.
2.) Notes has another hidden option – it allows you to add links and attachments by pressing the share icon and choosing Notes while browsing the web with Safari.
3.) If you are lost in a large city or you are unable to figure out your path, then Apple Maps will offer you public transportation directions, no matter if you’re walking on foot or traveling by bus or train. Also, you will know how long it takes to get from one place to the next.
4.) iCloud Drive can be used to sync files between iPhones, iPads and Macs and the shortcut of this application can be added to the home screen by going to Settings > iCloud > Show on Home Screen.
5.) Siri can also remind you to look at a webpage later, in case you don’t have time to explore it right now? Well, if you say “Siri Remind me about this” and add a location or date and time, the intelligent virtual assistant will add that item to your reminders and when the time comes, she will pop-up and give you the link of that specific website.
6.) iOS 9.3.1 can run Night Shift and Low Power Mode simultaneously, as long as you follow a particular combination.
- Enable Low Power Mode via ‘Settings –> Battery’
- Start Siri and say “Enable Night Shift”. Siri will reply: “In order to turn on Night Shift, I’ll have to turn off Low Power Mode. Shall I continue?”
- Reply “Yes” and press the sleep button before the response is confirmed. You will then hear Siri’s confirmation beep
- Unlock your iPhone and, providing you did step 3 correctly, you will see both Night Shift and Low Power Mode are enabled at the same time
WhatsApp has reinforced the default encryption settings for more than a billion users so that all messages will now be accessible only to the sender and recipientThe popular service owned by Facebook began applying "end-to-end" encryption to standard messages sent on Android smartphones in 2014.
The company says it is now using a powerful form of encryption to protect the security of photos, videos, group chats and voice calls in addition to the text messages sent by more than a billion users around the globe.
After gradually expanding to other formats, WhatsApp confirmed on Tuesday that the encryption now works with all forms of communication on its app for Android phones, Apple's iPhones and other devices.
Encryption has become a hotly debated subject, with some US authorities warning that criminals and armed groups can use it to hide their tracks.
"WhatsApp has always prioritised making your data and communication as secure as possible," a blog post by WhatsApp co-founders Jan Koum and Brian Acton said, announcing the change.
"And today, we're proud to announce that we've completed a technological development that makes WhatsApp a leader in protecting your private communication: full end-to-end encryption."
This means that "when you send a message, the only person who can read it is the person or group chat that you send that message to," the statement said.
"No one can see inside that message. Not cybercriminals. Not hackers. Not oppressive regimes. Not even us."
However, while many advocates for more privacy welcomed the move, some still maintained that the meta-data - which records who is speaking to whom, as well as the date and time of the messages - can still be accessed.
Google, Facebook and Yahoo use less extensive encryption to protect emails and messages while they are in transit, to prevent outsiders from eavesdropping.
Apple uses end-to-end encryption for its iMessage service, but some experts say WhatsApp's method may be more secure because it provides a security code that senders and recipients can use to verify a message came from someone they know - and not from a hacker posing as a friend.

People who should buy SE?
People have loved iPhone series all over the world. The new SE gives the old and premium look and style that the iPhone 5s gave us and 5s was loved and is still loved by the people.
5s is still the daily driver for people they dint switch to new iPhone 6 or 6s just because they were not comfortable with the new look and the size of the iPhone the launch of the new SE was one of the great news for the people all over the world the old and premium look with the new and fascinating technology.
I personally would prefer the new se over 6 or 6s and there are people who are downgrading to se from 6s.

Perks of buying an SE
Performance
3rd generation 64bit chip new transistor architecture optimized for real world use. May it be that the new se is smaller than the iPhone 6 but it is way more powerful than the 6. Apple decided to utilize the A9 processor from 6 month old 6s, along with the M9 co-processor.

The processors bump mean you are going to get smoother performance with apps and games, ios 9.3 is going to work as smooth as it works on the iPhone 6s.
Display
The iphone se has 4 inch widescreen display. But surprisingly the iphone 6 and the se have same pixel density rating of 326ppi.
Which means to an average eye the screen ought took look identical. You get less screen size for games and media and the ui may seem a little cramped but what do you expect more from a 4 inch widescreen display.

Cameras
Inside the se you will find a 12 megapixel back camera, same as on the iphone 6s, and it will deliver even more sharper photo's than the iPhone 6.
Furthermore it shoots 4K video footage from the back and you can also take the live photo as on the 6s. the front has the face-time HD 1.2 megapixel only flaw in the front camera is that it does not have the front flash and the 6S has it.

Hardware perks
The new se has both touch id and and NFC sensors for the apple pay, so they're are well equipped to keep you secured in terms of money and as well as your data and sorry no it does not have 3D touch.

Battery life
Smaller phone shorter battery life right ? nope iPhone SE may have a smaller battery pack as compared to iPhone 6 but it its actually rated to last longer than the iPhone 6.
