A rumor from some weeks back is suddenly gathering steam, suggesting a different iPhone is on the brink of release.

If you're confused about who the iPhone 16e is for, you're not alone — I know I won't be upgrading. I'm going to cut right to it. I should have been an easy sell for the iPhone SE 4, but I'm vehemently against the iPhone 16e.

If you’re an iPhone SE 3 user, check out what changes have been made and whether now is the time for an upgrade (hint: it is). With its introduction, the iPhone 16e is now the most affordable iPhone on the market.

Apple has officially launched the iPhone 16e in India and the global market. This Apple phone may be a new version of the entry-level iPhone SE (2022), but it is being compared to the iPhone 16. The company has kept very little difference in the features of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16e.
