Apple's iPhone 16E, the replacement for the 2020 iPhone SE, has seen the company finally kill off multiple things in one go.

Small phones struggle in 2025 due to battery life, performance throttling, poor thermals, and camera limitations, making larger devices the better choice.

From the home button to the Lightning port, Apple's new cheapest phone comes with big changes, but it also signals the death of small phones in the tech giant's lineup. And I think that's a shame.
