Apple's update to the iPhone SE adds a new design and Apple Intelligence, as well as a new name: iPhone 16e.
On Wednesday, Apple announced the brand new iPhone 16e, a budget-friendly entry into the iPhone 16 lineup.
Apple wants you to keep your iPhone 16e looking brand new with its lineup of new silicone cases.
Apple didn't simply change the expected iPhone SE 4 name to iPhone 16e — they're distinct product lines and all the data points to a strategy shift.
The introduction of the iPhone 16e means that Apple has seemingly killed off the budget-friendly iPhone SE lineup.
