In related news, the iPhone 16e received a very good response from the public. It emerged as a successful replacement for the SE model. The smartphone recorded 11% of the iPhone sales in the United States in the June 2025 quarter. This is more than double the sales of the SE model last year, which recorded just 5% sales.
