Honestly, I think the same criticisms from the previous generation apply here as well. If only it were $100 cheaper, it would have probably been the perfect SE successor. Still, at least they added MagSafe.

    the 17e has become the replacement for the most generic phone.

    That’s exactly what it’s for. It’s the cheap iPhone for people who want an iPhone, but don’t really care. The 16e won’t be around forever, and Apple doesn’t do price cuts. So it’s either offer a phone that once was a good value, but now sucks. Or just keep pumping out a newer value phone every year.
