APPLE IPHONE

These Are The Reasons Why I’m Getting The iPhone 16e And Also Keeping My 3rd Generation iPhone SE

Sometimes things pay off, sometimes they don’t

I’ve just placed my order for a 128GB iPhone 16e in Black and once it arrives, I’ll be keeping it in a special place within my tech drawer where my other gadgets are stored.

It will be accompanied by my 3rd generation iPhone SE as well which I’ve reformatted and kept safely back in its box.

If it sounds like I won’t be using my new iPhone 16e once it arrives, it’s exactly as it sounds — I won’t be using it at all.

Why, you may be asking?

Well, I’ve had my iPhone 15 Pro for about a year plus now and it’s still my main and only phone that I have a need for.

My 3rd generation iPhone SE was passed down to my eldest after I bought the iPhone 15 Pro but once Apple announced the iPhone 16e, I got him a second hand iPhone 13 to use instead, and kept the iPhone SE.

Now, if it doesn’t make any sense to you, let me give you my reasons for doing all these things.

Anticipation of what’s to come
