Apple introduced the all-new iPhone 16e<\/a> earlier this year, introducing a new tier to its iPhone lineup. While this device does fill the shoes of the former iPhone SE line, the fact that it embodies the same number as the rest of the iPhone lineup has left people to wonder: will Apple release a new \u2018e\u2019 iPhone every year?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman<\/a>, Apple isn\u2019t yet sure:<\/p>\n

The iPhone 16e \u2014 while basically a\u00a0stripped-down iPhone 16\u00a0\u2014\u00a0is a meaningful redesign from the SE 3. The other lever Apple pulled here was marketing it as an iPhone 16 variant rather than a new iPhone SE. That adds quite a bit more allure and makes it more interesting to consumers in places like China. The big question is whether Apple will update this new\u00a0\u201ce\u201d line annually. Apple hasn\u2019t yet made a final decision \u2014\u00a0and it\u2019s still months from needing to.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If Apple were to launch an iPhone 17e, it\u2019d likely come out around the same late-winter\/early-spring timeline as previous iPhone SE models and the current generation iPhone 16e, so it\u2019d be just under a year away.<\/p>\n

What would Apple change with a new iPhone 17e? Not too much, realistically. The company would likely bump it up to the latest A19 chip and introduce a couple small features from the iPhone 17 lineup. Maybe they\u2019d introduce Camera Control, which the iPhone 16e currently lacks.<\/p>\n

In any case, Apple hasn\u2019t yet decided whether or not it wants to make an iPhone 17e, so it\u2019ll be a little while before there are any noteworthy rumors to follow. Gurman personally believes that an annual iPhone \u2018e\u2019 upgrade makes sense, in order to better keep up in the low-end smartphone market.<\/p>\n
