apps and games that its more expensive models do. The iPhone 16e — which will be priced at $599 when it goes on sale later this month — also dispenses with the home button and fingerprint sensor for Apple’s FaceID scanner and modern design. The lower-cost phone is a key plank in the company's strategy to revitalize sales of its most valuable device. </p></div> </article> <section class="storyline-feed flex-grow max-w-[744px] md:mb-4">

revive growth after a sluggish holiday season. The rebranded device goes on sale Feb. 28and will cost $170 more than the $429 iPhone SE that it replaces. Preorders for the phone begin Feb. 21. Apple modernized the device by removing the now-antiquated home button and adding a larger screen with Face ID. The model has a 48-megapixel rear camera, the same A18 chip as the iPhone 16 and a USB-C charging port. It also runs the company’s AI software, Apple Intelligence. <a class="link" href="https://lnkd.in/eqxUSKPm?trk=news_storyline_guest-text" target="_self" rel="nofollow"

— but it's a Trojan Horse play to break free from one of its biggest rivals in tech. This iPhone 16e features the C1 chip, Apple's first in-house cellular modem. That's a direct challenge to Qualcomm, the company that's provided similar tech to Apple for over a decade. If this C1 chip works well, Apple will likely look to use it in the upcoming, more expensive iPhone 17. That, in turn, will kick off Apple's journey of weaning off Qualcomm chips. This is a quiet, high-stakes bet that could change everything for Apple if it pays off.</p> <button class="attributed-text-segment-list__btn-truncation absolute right-0 bottom-0 pl-1

!text-sm whitespace-pre-wrap break-words " dir="ltr" data-test-id="main-feed-activity-card__commentary">Apple’s iPhone business is under pressure. Last quarter, iPhone sales declined nearly 1% to $69 billion, with a particularly concerning drop in China, where revenue fell from $20.8 billion to $18.5 billion. This decline underscores a fundamental challenge for <a class="link" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/apple?trk=news_storyline_guest-text" target="_self" data-tracking-control-name="news_storyline_guest-text" data-tracking-will-navigate>Apple</a>: its core market is saturated, and competition is intensifying. Enter the iPhone 16e, announced earlier today - Apple’s attempt to stop the bleeding and reclaim the mid-tier market. Priced at $599, it’s cheaper than a flagship but nowhere near a true budget phone. Here are the deets 📲 📵 The iPhone SE is old news - It used to be the “affordable” iPhone, but it hasn’t been refreshed in 2 years and, more importantly, people stopped buying it. The SE once made up 25% of iPhone sales; now it’s a rounding error. The new phone will run Apple Intelligence features, including ChatGPT. ✨ Premium, but just affordable enough - Apple still refuses to play in the sub-$500 market where Xiaomi, Vivo, and Samsung thrive. At $599, the iPhone 16e isn’t competing with $300 Androids. It’s a “mid-tier luxury” move - cheaper than a Pro, but still aspirational. 🌐 It’s not about the phone, it’s about the ecosystem - More iPhones = more Apple Intelligence users, more iCloud subs, more AirPods and Apple Watches sold. The device is the bait; services are the hook. 🇨🇳 🇮🇳 China & India are the battlegrounds – Apple is losing market share to Huawei in China and trying to crack the price-sensitive Indian market. The 16e is designed to compete just enough without killing margins. 🎮 Vertical integration = bigger margins, tighter grip - The iPhone 16e debuts Apple’s first in-house C1 cellular modem, a move that cuts dependence on Qualcomm - the “frenemy” Apple pays billions to each year. Translation? More control over performance, lower long-term costs, and another step toward owning the entire stack. Will This Work? Maybe. The iPhone 16e isn’t cheap, but it’s cheaper, which might slow Apple’s decline in the mid-tier market. More importantly, it locks more people into the Apple ecosystem: buy the phone → pay for iCloud → get an Apple Watch → spend your life upgrading hardware. ♻️ </p>  </div>  <code

With today’s launch of the $599 iPhone 16E, Apple officially retires the $429 iPhone SE, the last iPhone with a traditional home button. Now, remember, when Steve Jobs unveiled the original iPhone, most phones were covered in buttons. “On the front, there’s only one button down there. We call it the home button,” he said back in 2007. Thanks for all the memories, home button. Especially TouchID.

data-tracking-control-name="news_storyline_guest-text" data-tracking-will-navigate>#iPhone</a> to replace its low-end model…with a punchier price tag. The “iPhone16e” starts at $599, about 40% more expensive than the most recent iPhoneSE back in 2022. That’s some inflation rate! Add on the top-end storage of 512GB and you’re looking at $899 - close to the iPhone Pro price point. But there’s a lot like the iPhone16. - Access to Apple Intelligence software - Face ID - 48-megapixel rear camera (although only one of them) - USB-C charging. What’s not like the iPhone16? - The cellular chip. Many feeling this is a good test bed to try the in-house chipset “C1” before moving away from <a class="link" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/qualcomm?trk=news_storyline_guest-text" target="_self" data-tracking-control-name="news_storyline_guest-text" data-tracking-will-navigate>Qualcomm</a> semis across other devices. So who’ll buy it? Well ideally more people in China given recent market share erosion there - remember sales fell 11% in their latest earnings. Also perhaps India and other emerging markets where price plays a key roll vs local competition. But you’ll need bigger pockets - not just for the money to buy it, but for the size of phone too which has a bigger 6.1-inch screen. Lmk your thoughts on the latest “affordable” offering. ✌️❤️ <a class="link"

href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/apple?trk=news_storyline_guest-text" target="_self" data-tracking-control-name="news_storyline_guest-text" data-tracking-will-navigate>Apple</a> has released a new low-end iPhone into its lineup to replace the aging iPhone SE. The iPhone 16e is a 6.1-inch phone with an edge-to-edge OLED screen and a display notch, an Apple A18 processor inside (similar to, though not exactly the same as, the regular iPhone 16), a USB-C port and Action Button, and Apple's first in-house cellular modem, dubbed the Apple C1. The iPhone 16e starts at $599 for 128GB and will be available for preorder on February 21. The phone will be available on February 28. A 256GB version and a 512GB version will run you $699 and $899, respectively. At $599, the iPhone 16e's starting price is $200 less than the iPhone 16 but $170 more than the old 64GB iPhone SE and $120 more than the 128GB version of the iPhone SE. The 16e is a more direct replacement for the iPhone 14, which Apple started selling for $599 when the standard iPhone 16 was released, and will offer essentially the same iPhone experience the 16 does for most people.
