"iPhone 16e has the best battery life ever on a 6.1-inch iPhone," says Apple's press release, "lasting up to six hours longer than iPhone 11 and up to 12 hours longer than all generations of iPhone SE.".
Where the old iPhone SE's strongest selling point was that it was much lower cost than any other iPhone, the iPhone 16e is now only $200 less than the iPhone 16.
Apple's iPhone 16e marketing and trade-in pricing is designed specifically to get iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 users to upgrade.
Six years on from the iPhone 11 and five years on from the iPhone, this is the best iPhone to upgrade to and Apple is aiming to sweeten the deal.
Apple's update to the iPhone SE adds a new design and Apple Intelligence, as well as a new name: iPhone 16e.
