The Iphone 16e Doesn’t Have Magsafe, but Apparently Apple Thinks You Didn't Want It Anyway
The new iPhone 16e misses out on MagSafe, a feature that has been standard on all numbered iPhones since 2020's iPhone 12 series. According to a statement from unnamed Apple representatives, most people in the 16e's target audience exclusively charge their phones by plugging them into a charging cable. This claim has sparked debate about what consumers actually want from their iPhones.
- The apparent lack of MagSafe on the iPhone 16e may signal a shift towards more minimalist design, where convenience and affordability take precedence over premium features.
- What implications does this decision have for Apple's pricing strategy and how it differentiates its budget-friendly options from high-end models?
