Apple's "cheap" iPhone SE range of smartphones allowed many of the brand's aficionados to treat themselves to a slice of premium aura at a reasonable price. But reasonable has recently become a little less reasonable.
iPhone 16e, consumers get their money's worth££££
While the previous iPhone SE from 2022 had a starting price of €529, its replacement, the latest iPhone 16e, has risen to €719. Enough to push Apple fans to get out the torches and pitchforks, while putting away their wallets? Not so, according to the figures reported by Bloomberg. Thus, over a similar marketing period from its launch, the iPhone 16e saw sales 60% higher than those of its predecessor, proof that the public was won over by the more than decent specifications of this model. It's worth noting, however, that the iPhone 16 is now the cheapest iPhone officially sold by Apple, and less affluent buyers desperate to acquire an Apple smartphone don't really have any other choice. Other than turning to the used and refurbished market.
