Same with iPhone 6s, the new released iPhone SE also built an A9 chip, and in accordance with detailed hardware information that, iPhone SE also has two different sized A9 processors, Samsung and TSMC.
From the above infos you can see different parameters “s8003” and “s8000” in “Platform” column, which is actually fully consistent with the iPhone 6s / 6s Plus, which also represents the iPhone SE comes with both Samsung and TSMC’s A9.
