Yes, they will definitely add Magsafe so that they hold well in the stores, lol.Or they could’ve just, you know, added MagSafe..

This isn't even a poor man's phone at $AU1000!Essentially saying "MagSafe is a luxury unknown by the poor, removing it gives us $2 back in our pocket per device."
Exactly why it's unacceptable for the feature to be omitted.This isn't even a poor man's phone at $AU1000!
How else do you want to make a budget phone without cuts? Reading this thread seems like people for the first time ever noticed how the market and product segmentation works.Oh come on! Do Apple and Tim think we are that stupid?
They literally took an iPhone 16 into a meeting room and started shaving every $ they could to make the gimped 16e.
Lets remove magsafe, yep, pro motion tick, telephoto, macro..and the list keeps going. Oh, lets tell everyone what great battery it has,..we just won't say that its because we've removed every worthwhile feature to satisfy shareholders.
I agree but as I mentioned earlier on, why the OLED screen, why satellite calling? It doesn't even make sense as a budget phone.How else do you want to make a budget phone without cuts? Reading this thread seems like people for the first time ever noticed how the market and product segmentation works.
It'll be a feature, just like it took them two decades to start offering a matte screen as an option again after saying how crap glossy screens were until they moved to them. Its a fun cycle.Let’s give it a few years and see what happens… 😂
The plug eventually wears out if you keep a phone for multiple years.Get a magsafe case and move on with your life..
I've never personally charged with magsafe... I don't see any advantage over just plugging my phone in at night. I do, however, use a magsafe wallet and popsocket
So we’re not allowed to be annoyed generally that Apple is leaving features off what is priced as a premium phone.A simple question for the complainers. Did you buy in the past or currently have an iPhone SE? No? You are not the target audience. Move on.
Really?? How other way a company can get to a not so expensive product if not is by shaving features to its more expensive products?Oh come on! Do Apple and Tim think we are that stupid?

Well, if you want to play this game... those people were also likely happy with their audio jack, but apparently this didn't prevent Apple from removing it.
I now keep my phone across 4 generations of phone releases. Never had its connection ever wear out.The plug eventually wears out if you keep a phone for multiple years.
Have you bought any SE or not for yourself or your family? If you need Magsafe so much, buy a older phone, 14 or 15, simple.So we’re not allowed to be annoyed generally that Apple is leaving features off what is priced as a premium phone.
Many of us who help friends and family purchase ‘budget’ Apple devices find it ridiculous that such an expensive phone is missing a feature which has been around for 5 years and should be standard across the range by now.

Nearly everyone puts their phones in a case anyway. And the phone's magnets then become useless and need to be replaced with magnets in the case. Spigen already has cases for the 16e with magnets. I don't see it as a big deal. The bigger deal is the slower charging speed, but I tend to really just use MagSafe at night when I have time anyway. I use wired connection in my car because MagSafe just gets too hot trying to charge and use GPS simultaneously.
