Apple announces “iPhone 16e” to replace iPhone SE, starts at $599 for 128GB
Lower-end iPhone replaces both the old iPhone SE and the aging iPhone 14.
$100 too much.
Agree completely. The pricing does not put it within the budget segment. It feels more like trying to push away from having a more affordable model at all.
Glad my last phone had a slight fire-related incident and that I got a iPhone SE 3 before they killed it, because as a replacement this is just plain a bad deal.
$170 more for a whole lot of shit that I cannot summon a single care about.
Yup, $100 too much and I get what out of it? I have a 12 Pro and there hasn’t been a single compelling feature in the past 3 generations.
Its four and half gens since then. Piss poor innovation.
$899 CAD…. For a budget iPhone… the se3 was $579 CAD or $649 CAS for 128GB.
WTF
As I said multiple times before, this iPhone sits in price over substantially better phones (from Google, OnePlus and Samsung), and below a feature-complete iPhone 16 with a complete A18.
My guess is there are not too many units (binned A18), and they will use this opportunity to raise the iPhone prices by $100.
It would been killer for $399 or even $499. Guess the previous iPhone model have become the new SE.
