The iPhone 5SE — the phone’s current referential name — will see Apple launch a smartphone wil a 4.0-inch screen for the first time since 2013’s iPhone 5S. Internally, it will mirror the iPhone 6, and aesthetically, it should resemble one too albeit on a smaller scale.

The iPad Pro however is simply a smaller variant of the 12.9-inch behemoth Apple announced last year. It should sport all the bells and whistles of its larger brother, including Apple Pencil support.
