Wes was the first to point out that the price was a hard sell, the iPhone 16e is priced at $599, while the iPhone SE 3 launched at $429.
On Wednesday, when the AppleInsider Staff was taking bets on when the new iPhone would be released — I called it, by the way — we were all still assuming it'd be the fourth-generation iPhone SE.
I should have been an easy sell for the iPhone SE 4, but I'm vehemently against the iPhone 16e.
It's the first iPhone I've actually liked, rather than just felt ambivalent towards, since the iPhone 5c.
It's pretty clear that the iPhone 16e is an improvement over the iPhone SE 3.
