“E” in the iPhone 16e can stand for expensive
Apple has introduced its latest phone, iPhone 16Eand immediately removed his budget iPhone SE (2022) from his online store. Although Apple suggests that Apple sees its new phone as tracking its only affordable option, its $ 600 price means it’s more than a premium discount than a real budget choice.
But I endure hope. I am the iPhone SE TRUTHER: I believe that an affordable telephone space is too valuable for Apple to give up. The iPhone 16e inhabits the role of the average range that has been lacking for several key reasons, but at one point the company will triumphantly return the real heir to the throne of the iPhone if only to stop Samsung From eating his lunch.
Samsung has dominated the budget phones for years with models like Galaxy A15 5Gphone under $ 200 that was Fourth phone for the best-selling in the US last year. Although Apple Phone fans at least had $ 430 iPhone SE, which was the most accessible way to access iOS and Apple Services. SE also suitable for users who wanted unlocked iPhone that they could use years. I cannot imagine that the company wants to abandon this constituency.

Even if Apple suggests that the iPhone 16e is its budget option, the phone serves a different purpose: to be the most affordable phone with premium features. In addition to presenting his A18 chip, he also has Apple Intelligence (And the unspecified amount of RAM required to start it), a 48-megapixel rear camera with a higher resolution and a 6.1-inch OLED display that covers the full front of the phone. It also maintains satellite services for Apple Atriend’s SOS and Send text messagesS
All these features probably justify the price of the jump, but they also like a different client segment of buyers on the iPhone SE line. Who is the iPhone 16E for? Probably users who wanted these premium features and are ready to give up some for a “discount”. There is room for the iPhone 16e, but it is not at the bottom of Apple’s phone range.
It was painfully obvious that Apple was not interested in updating the design later budget phonesWith a 2022 iPhone SE, wearing the same appearance (a solid chin and top bars, a home button) as the iPhone 6, which starts in 2014, probably has an economic advantage for pumping the same old displays and body designs year after year. For its loan, Apple strives to upgrade the hardware to ensure that shorter iPhone SE models can handle all new iOS features while gracefully aging from software updates five to seven years later.
But since Apple downloads 2022 iPhone SE from its online store, it seems that the company wants to take a clean vacation from this phone. Hopefully it’s just to retire a specific aging design and use the iPhone 16e as a stop until the company understands the best way forward. In the end, there are several features, such as Apple Intelligence and Astrind SOS, which require better components and chips to work. It is not yet clear whether Apple can make a cheaper phone with those features that it includes in any new phone it releases.
Apple may decide that these are standard for his future phones and, if so, the iPhone SE line can be placed on ice until these components become cheap enough to return their phones to budget prices. Of course, it is always possible for Apple to decide that the price of $ 600 on the iPhone 6e is unattainable.
I don’t think we’ve seen the last of the iPhone SE, or at least, I endure hope. For all phone fools like me who want the most new and best, there are many others who just want a device that works with features that it can depend on, and for now Apple gives them reasonable prices. I hope it gets so soon.
