Apple has announced the iPhone 16e as a new entry-level iPhone model. This iPhone 16e will replace not only the previous entry-level iPhone SE, but also the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus.

The third-generation iPhone SE, released in March 2022, and the iPhone 14 Plus, released in September 2022, were immediately discontinued due to the introduction of the iPhone 16e. You can find out what the third-generation iPhone SE and iPhone 14 Plus are like by reading the reviews below.

In addition, the iPhone 14, which will be released in September 2022, has also been completely removed from Apple's official website. However, the iPhone 14 is still available for purchase from Apple's channel partners, so it is not completely discontinued.

The iPhone 16e starts at 99,800 yen, which is quite expensive compared to the third-generation iPhone SE, which starts at 57,800 yen. In addition, since the iPhone 16e has a 6.1-inch display size, it can be used as an alternative to the iPhone 14, which also has a 6.1-inch display, but 9to5Mac points out that it is not an option for users who want a large display like the iPhone 14 Plus (6.7 inches). For users who want a display size of 6.1 inches or more, the cheapest option is the iPhone 15 Plus (starting at 124,800 yen).
