Apple surprised consumers by introducing the iPhone 16e, a device that inherits many features from the iPhone 16 series but at a cheaper price.
The highlight of the iPhone 16e is not only the design and specifications but also the new name. This has led many to question the mea
ning of the letter “e”. However, Apple has not confirmed any of the hypotheses, leading to much speculation and uncertainty.
Could the iPhone 16e usher in a new era in the mid-range iPhone segment?

The launch of the iPhone 16e also makes users wonder whether we can expec
t the iPhone 17e in 2026. Rumors suggest that the iPhone 17 series will include four models: the iPhone
17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, and the 17 Air, a new model that replaces the Plus version. In particular, the iPhone 17 Air is said to have a thinner design and an aluminum frame.
Meanwhile, the future of the iPhone 17e is still unclear. There are no reports or information suggesting that it will be released this year or
next year. The introduction of the iPhone 17 Air could be Apple’s attempt to provide a mid-range option, making the “e” version unne
essary. However, it is still possible that Apple will launch the iPhone 17e next year as
a way to boost its core product line mid-cycle, similar to the strategy with the iPhone SE.

Apple's strategy regarding this product line remains unclear as it could choose to release products annually to refresh the categ
ory or follow a non-linear model like the iPhone SE, with infrequent releases.
Of course, the success of the iPhone 16e in the coming months will determine
whether the “e” series will continue. So we will have to wait until the official launch of the
iPhone 16e on February 28 to assess user reception. This product will compete in the mid-range to high-end smartphone segment with a starting price of $ 599 (15.3 million VND) for the 128 GB version.

In terms of continuity, only time will tell whether the “e” on the iPhone 16e is simply a nod to the past or the start of a new era for Apple.
