Apple's launch of the iPhone 16e, which replaced the iPhone SE line, marked a strategic shift in the company's flagship smartphone

For all we know, this fall's iPhone launch will go ahead as per usual, with Apple introducing all of its new models at once — a standard iPhone, two iPhone 17 Pro models and a brand new iPhone 17 Air is what the rumors are telling us to expect. But as reported by The Information, thing's change pretty radically after that.
