Apple has announced its newest budget-friendly iPhone model, transitioning from the long-used iPhone SE name to the latest version with the addition of the letter e, known as the iPhone 16e. Many may wonder what the e stands for, and it could likely be Edition, a term previously used in the iPhone SE, denoting Special Edition. However, Apple has intentionally opted for a lowercase letter to differentiate the models.
Tech blogger John Gruber mentioned that during Apple’s announcement to the media, there were inquiries about the significance of the e. Apple representatives remained elusive, stating that the e does not stand for anything specific and that the product is designed for “everyone.”
This situation may indicate Apple’s reluctance to explicitly define the meaning behind the e in this iPhone model. While past models like the iPhone 3GS (Speed) and iPhone 5c (Color) have had their abbreviations explained, the e in the iPhone 16e remains a mystery.
