The 'E' in iPhone 16E Might As Well Stand for Expensive

cnet.com David Lumb 2025-06-29 20:00:07

Apple has unveiled its newest phone, the iPhone 16E, and promptly removed its budget iPhone SE (2022) from its online store. While that suggests Apple sees its new phone as a follow-up to its only affordable option, its $600 price tag means it's more of a discounted premium handset than a true budget pick. But I hold out hope. I'm an iPhone SE truther: I believe the affordable phone space is too valuable for Apple to give up. The iPhone 16E inhabits a mid-range role that had been missing for a
