With the presence of iPhone 16E in the coming week, Apple will change a lot in the previous portfolio. The group uses new entry -level devices to cut old braids and improve some improvement – in some cases, however, in such a way that some customers should not like. an overview.

Cut old braids

Electricity was actually at least in the European Union: Shortly before Christmas, Apple dropped the iPhone 14, 14 Plus and SE 3 from the program as they did not have the local mandatory interface USB-C. In other regions of the world, however, this compulsion does not exist, which is why a complete end of Lightning Interfaces in the iPhone was now: With the onset of 16D, the model 14, 14 plus and SE3 are repaid from the market , But the trading is still closed. According to the iPad, the electric era ends in another mobile device. Only an ancient apple pencil of the first generation still has an interface, and Apple also sells adapter cable.

With the end of SE3, the final iPhone with home buttons also drops out of the program-inflammatory fingerprint detection touch ID. This means: Use all iPhones on the market’s face identification (face ID). LCD screens are also buried in the iPhone: all models are now OLED. The home button was introduced at the beginning of the first iPhone in 2007, the touch ID was added in 2013, which is still used by Mac and some iPads.

New standard sets

Another innovation in the portfolio worries about the minimum flash memory equipment in the iPhone. With SE3, it was still at a narrow 64 GB for the entry -level model.

However, there was no change in RAM: Although 16E to use Apple Intelligence is now 8 in the form of SE 3 inste The device continues without. More than 6 GB (LPDDR5).

For some users, it should be that Apple no longer has a compact iPhone in the program with a loss of SE 3. In the future, the screen size starts at 6.1 inches, it will no longer be small. (SE3 had 4.7 inches in.) The mini model (with 5.4 inches) has not sold Apple 13 mini since the iPhone, replaced by the plus variants from iPhone 14.
