- Apple announced the new iPhone 16th
- The iPhone SE, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus have been abandoned
- The iPhone 16th is available for pre -order on February 21
Apple announced the iPhone 16th, a cheaper addition to the iPhone 16 range which, before, would be known as the fourth generation iPhone SE. We always cover the announcement of the iPhone 16th live while Apple reveals more details.
The new iPhone 16th is packing the A18 chipset, the 48MP merger camera and the Apple intelligence compatibility of the main line 16 in a chassis modeled after the iPhone 14.
However, the announcement of the new mid -range iPhone in fact reported the end of the IPhone SE and iPhone 14 product ranges.
It seems that the iPhone 16th replaces the iPhone SE directly – The SE product page is always accessible for the moment, but there is no more option to buy the phone.
With the iPhone 16th available to pre -order on February 21 and ship on February 28, it is logical that Apple stops iPhone SE sales to push customers to the new iPhone 16th.
The third generation iPhone SE was modeled after the iPhone 8 and transported the interns of the iPhone 13 – so from an aesthetic and performance point of view, it became a little long in the tooth.
Not just a 14 with a new name
As mentioned, the iPhone 16th can be considered a spiritual successor to the iPhone SE, although it is much more expensive at a starting price of $ 599 / £ 599 / $ 999 compared to the iPhone SE Third generation at $ 429 / £ 429 / $ 719.
The situation with the iPhone 14 is a little more complex. Until today, Apple had the base line for sale iPhone 14 at the same price as the iPhone 16th launches at: $ 599 / £ 599 / $ 999 in.
However, the iPhone 16e chipset A18, the 48MP main camera and the management of Apple intelligence make the iPhone 14 redundant effectively, because the iPhone 14 has none of these features. The two phones have the same display of 6.1 inch notch and the same dimensions. The only thing that the iPhone 16th lack of the iPhone 14 is a secondary ultra-large camera.
Apple has never sold two iPhones at the same starting price simultaneously, so the new iPhone 16th has taken the place of the iPhone 14 in the range.
Finally, today, bad luck has bad luck to all those who seek to collect a large cheap iPhone – the iPhone 14 Plus has been abandoned with its little brother.
Your cheapest option for a 6.7 -inch iPhone is now the iPhone 15 Plus, which remains on sale for $ 799 / £ 799 / $ 1,399 in.
We will test the iPhone 16th as soon as we can see if it ranks among the best iPhones.
