If there's one thing everyone knows about Apple, it's that the company doesn't really do "cheap." The days of "Does More, Costs Less" are long over, and nowhere is that more apparent than with the iPhone. Or more specifically, the company's "cheap" iPhone model, the iPhone 16e.
The phone was designed to replace the iPhone SE, a solid mid-range phone with a $429 price tag. While that's not what I'd call cheap, it is considerably more affordable than a flagship iPhone — and with all the best parts of an iPhone bundled in. Unfortunately, Apple then went and hiked up the price of the iPhone 16e to $599.
