iPhone 16e: Apple’s New Midrange Smartphone Struggles to Replace SE
Apple's latest release, the iPhone 16e, aims to fill the shoes of the retired SE lineup but faces challenges in user perception. Launched with Apple Intelligence features and a modern design, the device includes a 6.1-inch OLED display and improved battery life.
