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

Apple discontinued the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, and the third-generation iPhone SE, leading to significant changes in its product lineup with this launch. The removal of these older models simplifies Apple’s offerings while pushing customers toward a more modern and feature-rich entry-level iPhone.
