Apple Unveils iPhone 16e, Replaces SE and 14

Apple has unveiled the iPhone 16e, which replaces the iPhone SE and iPhone 14, marking a shift towards more modern design and features at a price point of $599. The device features a 6.1-inch OLED screen, a single 48MP rear camera, and ditches the Home Button for Face ID, while introducing a USB-C port. The iPhone 16e is powered by the A18 chip and Apple's new C1 modem, supporting advanced AI capabilities and 5G connectivity. It is designed to appeal to users of older models like the iPhone 11 and 12, offering significant upgrades in processing speed and battery life. Despite the price increase from its predecessor, Apple aims to boost sales by offering trade-in options to make the transition more affordable. Pre-orders begin on February 21, with general availability starting on February 28.
