iPhone 16e launched: Most affordable Apple iPhone in 2025 EXPLAINED in 10 quick points

The 16e is a spiritual successor to the iPhone SE 3 and while Apple may have discontinued the special edition branding, it lives through under a new name and possibly fresh vigour. Not only does it simplify the expansive iPhone lineup, it is also a positive sign for a more regular—yearly—update cycle, unlike the SE which had a tumultuous roadmap.
