The Apple iPhone SE has been officially available now. It might have the same design as the iPhone 5S, however, there are some significant upgrades inside. We have a more powerful CPU, GPU, more RAM, longer battery life and 12MP iSight camera. The iPhone SE is an attractive choice for big-phone haters because they will be able to use the phone comfortably with one hand now.
The phone was originally launched in March 2016 with 16 GB and 64 GB of storage configurations. Then, the storage was upgraded to 32GB and 128GB one year later.

I have Apple iPhone SE 2016 128GB Space Grey
model: MP862B/A
Need to change the screen, does it have to be a specific type, for example?
AB says
no

I have seem lots of companies trying to sell the A1662 in Europe and in Australia recently. Which of course means LTE can be incompatible. Now that GSM and 3G are phased out, the A1664 will not work for VoLTE in many cases because the LTE band is not available.
