alt Hacker NewsIs this a replacement for the "SE" line? It seems similar to the previous SE models in that it's cheaper, uses an older body, and is released in an off month. The marketing copy in the OP also compares it to the older SE phones.
I am guessing that's the end of the small phone line at Apple.

Yes, this replaces the SE which was not really that small. The SE screen was small but the case not so small. This 16e is less that 0.25 inches bigger in the diagonal.
It’s funny that the marketing for this is about introducing a new member of the family. But it doesn’t also mention that one other member has been disowned/excommunicated
I feel you're correct because this is the iPhone that appeals to me, and no new iPhone ever appeals to me.
Yeah, they took the SE off their website at the same time as they announced this.

That really ended with the 13 mini on which I'm typing this comment and that I'll hold onto till it's no longer supported.
