Apple’s iPhone 16e—Killing the Button, Forcing the Change


So Apple finally did it—they’ve killed off the last remaining home button in the lineup with the iPhone 16e, and if that wasn’t enough, they ditched the Lightning port too. USB-C is in, and I can hear the collective groan from my people still holding onto those drawerfuls of old accessories.

Now, I’m not against progress—hell, I’ve been living in /etc since most people were learning about iTunes. But there’s something off about Apple selling “freedom” while quietly yanking away your old gear, one port at a time. If you’re in business and your people rely on iOS devices, now’s the time to recheck your mobile strategy. Are you ready for another round of adapters, training, and OS quirks?

This ain’t just a new phone—it’s Apple reminding us they’re not in the habit of asking permission to change your workflow.

Ugh……Real talk tho…they should have done this a long time ago! But, Please, please, PLEASE stop rearranging my photo and setting menus!
