For the December quarter, Apple's overall iPhone sales were down 1% on an annual basis. Apple still sold more than $69 billion of phones in the period. Low-end iPhones are important to Apple as it gets new customers into their ecosystem, and the new device supports Apple Intelligence, making it Apple's least expensive new phone that can access features like image generation and notification summaries. Apple's current models are the iPhone 16, which starts at $799, and the iPhone 16 Pro, which starts at $999.

The iPhone SE, as it was called then, got further updates in 2020 and 2022. Generally, the iPhone SE reuses an older design than the newest iPhones, but Apple updates its components such as its processor so it can receive ongoing software updates. After the old iPhone SE sells out, there won't be any new iPhones with a fingerprint scanner. It was also less expensive than the iPhone 16e at $429. The launch also marks a new approach to Apple's famous product launches, which garner media attention around the world. Previously, Apple would reveal new products live and onstage, at a presentation on its campus in California. In 2020, Apple stopped inviting people to live launches and started screening marketing videos on its website and YouTube instead.. It may be testing how much buzz it can get for one of these quieter launches.
