The iPhone 16E can get a sequel in 2026

Apple's SE series is now on the market with a new name and a new visual identity. In addition to the large hardware upgrades, however, another aspect of the budget proposal of apple It can change – the time amplitude between generations. While the SE series models appeared on the market between 2 and 4 years of one of each other, according to the CIRP heir to the iPhone 16e, there may be next year, and this trend is expected to continue.

The iPhone 16e is already a reality and you can order it in Bulgaria, but the new member of the Apple smartphone has also taken a little criticism related to the price, the lack of some quite often used features or absent camera options over the iPhone 16.

However, the Cupertini budget apparatus brought with it a number of great enhancements such as the A18 chipset, the first 5G modem manufactured by Apple, Apple Intelligence Support, and Refresher and Updated Design. It is the serious hardware improvements that have led many to think that the SE series substitute will continue the tradition and will not be an annual part of the company's market plan.

However, CIRP analysts, howeverthat it is the positioning of the iPhone 16e in the upper tier of the budget segment, where the navigated devices with a premium focus are that Apple intends to make and “be” the models of some of their regular offers.

However, to do this, the iPhone 16e will probably have to achieve significantly better results than its predecessor. Official data show that average SE models on an annual basis have formed only 7% of all iPhone devices sold for the period – a figure, which 16E will have to exceed significantly.

At this point, Apple's forecasts are for about 22 million pieces sold for 2025, which would be equal to less than 10% of the preliminary annual estimates of most analysts.
