Apple just unveiled a new phone in their iPhone 16 lineup called the iPhone 16e and it will not only be the most affordable of the series but also has numerous features. These include powerful performance and battery life and Apple Intelligence, but it will be missing the notable feature, MagSafe. This new model will be available for pre-order starting Friday and will be released to the public on February 28.

“No way, the 16e doesn’t support MagSafe,” another fan wrote.
