That would make it the “iPhone 16 Edition”.
That “e,” though, must stand for something.
Apple isn’t talking about it.
Trust me, I asked.
However, a little research reveals that Apple has used the “e” a couple of times before.
There was 2002’seMac,where “e” stood for “education.”
Such a nomenclature made the product’s intention clear.
Apple wanted schools to adopt this cheaper, boxy, candy-colored computer.
I don’t think they were very successful.
However, the iPhone 16e is neither an “education” smartphone nor exactly an “enhanced” model.
What does ‘e’ mean to you?
It has far more in common with all the otheriPhone 16models.
I think you get where I’m going.
I do think Apple missed an opportunity here.
This is the first and only iPhone 16 with the new C1 cellular modem.
“Why Apple didn’t name this the iPhone 16s is beyond me.
I hope everyone is okay with that.
