Apple’s iPhone 16e, which was released in February, initially faced criticism due to its technical specifications and pricing. However, recent reports indicate that the phone has exceeded sales expectations. Here are the details!
iPhone 16e Sells 60% More Than Its Predecessor
According to Bloomberg, the iPhone 16e has managed to sell 60% more units compared to its predecessor, the iPhone SE 2022, which was released in 2022. As a reminder, the iPhone 16e faced criticism initially for being $170 more expensive than its predecessor and featuring only a single camera, which felt outdated by 2025 standards.

While sources have not yet revealed the exact sales figures for the iPhone 16e, this increase in sales seems to stem from the model’s support for artificial intelligence features and its updated processor, among other factors.
