Why is the new iPhone the same as the iPhone 5S?

I have the 5S so will I be able to tell lies that I have the new iPhone lol?

You can check on the Apple website btw.

Because it has no features differentiating it. The 5S has the fingerprint scanner, same size screen & it's got the same shape. So other than some slight colour changes, it's identical. So yeah, You could lie!

Yes it looks exactly the same as the 5s but its supposed to be the "enhanced" version. It looks exactly the same to me

There are some new colors with the new SE. But don't let anyone actually use your phone if they know anything about the new SE because they'll know in a second that your old phone is definitely not the new one. Compared to your 5s, the new SE is much faster, has a Retina display, the camera is MUCH better, has fingerprint security, has faster LTE cell service and faster Wi-Fi, and supports Apple Pay. The SE is simply an iPhone 6s with a smaller screen. So you can fool everyone if you want, but just don't let them actually touch your phone.

Its not, far better hardware. But just keep telling yourself yours is the same if that makes you happy.

IPhone 5S has different form than the iPhone 6 and later. Size is different and build quality is different too.

It's only the same when it comes to the outer shell design (except for the matte edges vs shiny on 5s and the fact itll say SE on the back and the 5s just says iPhone), the screen size and Touch ID generation. Other than that, on the inside is where it'll outshine the 5s by alot because it's like a smaller 6s on the inside excluding no 3D touch and it's Touch ID, that means it'll have it's processor, cameras and other internal.

Yes if it's in a case you'll be able to lie as long as they don't notice it's a bit slower loading things a bit slower. If it's not in a case they'll be able to see the edges shine and if they look carfully, see it lacks the SE letters.

As to why they didn't change it, maybe because a lot of people say they preffered the 5/5s design and wanted to take that as an advantage or to save resources on designing a new one, personally I didn't like the mock ups that were made to look like a 6/6s in a smaller width and height and same depth as the 5s.

Its not exactly the same, but close enough externally. Internally though, completely different.

So pathetic you are. I can't understand why not having the latest iToy is a reason to lie. You might as well continue to drink The Apple Kool Aid, because you're ovviously a lost cause.
