Apple's iPhone 16E, the replacement for the 2020 iPhone SE, has seen the company finally kill off multiple things in one go. From the home button to the Lightning port, Apple's new cheapest phone comes with big changes, but it also signals the death of small phones in the tech giant's lineup. I think that's a shame.

Apple just announced the long-rumored iPhone 16E. With a starting price of $599 (up from the $429 SE ), it’s now the most affordable smartphone in the iPhone lineup and offers the company’s latest A18 processor, Apple Intelligence software features, and a much better OLED display.

Apple just offed its smallest and most-affordable iPhone, and replaced it with the bigger and pricier iPhone 16e — so we looked closely at the tradeoffs to let you know if it’s right for you.
