@gruber The SE models were groundbreaking in that their price point allowed people for whom the cost of flagship models was prohibitive to access the Apple ecosystem. And the 16e and 17e models allow users to continue enjoying the Apple ecosystem for another 5–6 years, or perhaps even longer. This is because people who use the SE and ‘e’ series aren’t the sort who upgrade to a newer phone every year or two simply because a new model has been released. They want to enjoy the ecosystem at a price that remains affordable for them.

@bstn I'm not saying non-flagship iPhones don't matter. Just saying flagships have their own set of milestones.
