The article delves into the technological differentiators between the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16e, highlighting the iPhone 15's Dynamic Island feature that leverages the selfie camera cutout for enhanced app interactions. Additionally, it notes that the iPhone 15 includes a UWB chip for precise AirTag tracking, unlike the iPhone 16e. The launch of the iPhone 16e is limited to 59 countries, potentially due to modem certification issues. Despite no sub-$500 iPhone, the analyst argues that U.S. consumers tend to purchase subsidized phones through carriers, reducing impact on sales.
