Apple has officially launched its first product of the year, introducing the iPhone 16e as the latest addition to its smartphone lineup. This release comes alongside the discontinuation of three existing models—the iPhone SE, iPhone 14, and iPhone 14 Plus.

For several years, Apple’s lower-cost iPhone option has been the iPhone SE, which retained a design reminiscent of older iPhone models while coming with newer processors. Many industry analysts and consumers expected Apple to continue the SE branding for its next affordable device (namely, the iPhone SE 4). However, from the looks of it, Apple has now officially moved forward with the “iPhone 16e” name instead of introducing a fourth-generation iPhone SE. By launching the iPhone 16e, Apple is effectively replacing the iPhone SE as well as the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, which were previously available as lower-cost alternatives to the latest flagship models.
