The iPhone 16e Lacks MagSafe—And That's a Big Problem
The iPhone 16e's biggest omission is its lack of MagSafe, a feature that has blossomed into the Apple accessory ecosystem.

The phone still supports standard wireless charging, but those who prefer a caseless phone or want to use MagSafe accessories without their own magnets will be left out.

- How will Apple's decision to exclude MagSafe from future iPhones impact the company's ability to create a seamless and integrated ecosystem around its flagship device?
