Apple explains why the iPhone 16e doesn't have MagSafe

The recently unveiled iPhone 16e doesn't have MagSafe, and Apple has already explained that this has nothing to do with the use of its first in-house developed modem. So why did it happen?

Well, Apple says it decided not to equip the iPhone 16e with MagSafe because "most people in the 16e's target audience exclusively charge their phones by plugging them into a charging cable". This statement allegedly comes from unnamed "Apple representatives" speaking to Daring Fireball's John Gruber.

Those representatives go on to claim that these people, the ones who are going to buy the iPhone 16e, "tend to not use inductive charging at all". How Apple came to this conclusion is unclear. Who Apple thinks these people are - also unclear.

iPhone 17e is coming next year, research firm says

Apple recently overhauled its more affordable iPhone line, getting rid of the SE designation entirely and launching the iPhone 16e. According to a new report from research firm Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, Apple is also changing the release schedule for its new "e" line of cheaper iPhones.

Unlike the SEs, which launched every two years before being ignored for three most recently, the "e" models will come every year. So, the iPhone 17e will land in 2026, a year after the iPhone 16e.

This is just a "prediction" by a research firm, but if it pans out it means Apple has big plans for the "e" line, basically making the "e" iPhone part of its main line of devices more or less.

And it makes sense when you consider the naming - the iPhone SE models were all called iPhone SE, but with the "e" naming, the suffix is attached to a line of mainstream more expensive devices. So it wouldn't make a lot of sense for there to be an iPhone 16e, but not an iPhone 17e, then an iPhone 18e, but not an iPhone 19e - you get the idea.

Anyone know of an easy way to get out of Standby mode while the phone is in landscape on a MagSafe charger without having to pick it up or rotate it?

I don't want to turn the feature off, just be able to unlock it while it's charging at my desk.

You can't keep it landscape, but you can just rotate it to vertical and then unlock it.
