The iPhone 16e, despite facing criticism for its priciness compared to the iPhone SE, reported a notable 60% increase in sales. Analysts suggest that the discontinuation of the SE has led users to view the 16e as the most affordable option within Apple's ecosystem. Additionally, it appeals to enterprise customers, which may also contribute to increased orders. For many users upgrading from older models, the price hike is less significant, leading to positive reviews for the 16e. However, its successful launch may not substantially aid Apple in regaining market share in China.
Despite initial ridicule for its higher price, the iPhone 16e has surprisingly outperformed the iPhone SE, recording 60% more sales since its launch.
The iPhone 16e, while costing $170 more than the iPhone SE, remains the only entry point into Apple's ecosystem following the SE's discontinuation.
Many users upgrading from older devices do not mind the price increase, as they are infrequent upgraders and view the new model positively.
While the iPhone 16e's performance in sales is noteworthy, it may not significantly improve Apple's position in the competitive Chinese market.
