Apple could have sold me an iPhone SE 4, but it won't sell me the iPhone 16e
Nailed it! I am an original techtress, drank the Apple koolaid in 1984. I worked in Silicon Valley for 30 years and owned MOL every iPhone since the first one (6s was the worst) through 13 (helps to justify when you have a kid to take the hand-me-down). I tried the big phone once, thinking I could dump my iPad mini (wrongo) as back pocket carry is mandatory. I was one of those waiting seemingly forever for the 12 mini. Then I got the 13 mini, and then another when I realized I bought too little memory. Yes, I am a power app user but have little use for distractions like AI. I was going to buy the SE 4 for my elderly friend who calls, texts, adjusts the thermostat, checks FB Messenger, her bank balance, etc. all from her bed on her SE 2. So, there could have been two 16e sales; instead, there are none. If anything, I will find her an SE 3. And I will rock my 13 mini another year.
