Apple announced the iPhone 16e last Wednesday (19). With the unveiling of this new model, the company decided to discontinue the production of older models.
Now, the third-generation iPhone SE, launched in 2022, will no longer be available for sale in Apple’s official stores. The iPhone 16e has come as a replacement for the company’s entry-level model.
However, what is a bit more surprising is that Apple also announced the end of sales for the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus, which were also released in 2022. This change marks the end of devices with Touch ID and Lightning charging.
The iPhone 16e features a 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, A18 chip, and compatibility with Apple Intelligence, Apple’s AI, as well as a USB-C charging port.
Despite the discontinuation of the iPhone 14, 14 Plus, and SE, it is expected that the company will continue to update these models until 2027. Additionally, the devices will continue to be sold in physical and online stores as long as stocks last.
