There has been a lot of speculation regarding the name of the new iPhone that will be the successor to the iPhone 5c. If a packaging leak from China is true, then the new Apple device’s name is iPhone SE, reports AppleInsider.
The leak from the supply chain is a photo of the specifications sticker from the box of the smartphone. In addition to the name, the sticker confirms the phone will be available in a 16-gigabyte model and will feature a NFC chip to make it Apple Pay compatible.

Existing rumors about the device maintain that it will be available in a 64-gigabyte configuration. The phone, which will be similar in design to the iPhone 5, will have hardware elements that are closer to the iPhone 6 and 6s. The gadgets will reportedly be available in four colors: silver, space gray, gold and rose gold.
While these specs are all unconfirmed, Apple is slated to reveal the name and details about the device in its first media event of the year on March 21 at Apple’s Town Hall in Cupertino, Calif.
