Video Description

The iPhone SE was once the perfect budget iPhone—compact, powerful, and affordable. But now, it’s gone. Instead of continuing the SE lineup, Apple has replaced it with the iPhone 16e, a device that shifts away from the SE’s core philosophy. So what happened? Why did Apple abandon one of its most beloved budget phones, and does the iPhone 16e actually carry on the SE’s legacy—or is Apple officially done with small, affordable iPhones?
