The latest addition to the iPhone 16 lineup, iPhone 16e is making headlines across the globe. Marketed as the spiritual successor to the iPhone SE 3 (2020), this one promises modern design and updated features.
The price tag has also taken a hit as the iPhone 16e can be bought at $599. The iPhone 16e and iPhone 16 share a similar design. But both certainly share a notable difference in prices. The launch has unleashed a thread of online reactions.
Many netizens appear excited. But some are also sceptical. The company has a history of launching affordable versions of its flagship models, such as the iPhone 5C and iPhone XR. This iPhone 16e also appears to fall in this category.
There is another important update. The latest iPhone 16e features the first in-house designed modem. Until this launch, the company had been relying on brands like Qualcomm for modems. The company has been trying to build its modem for the past multiple years.
