Condolences to the final holdouts for Apple's iconic home button. The Chinatech giant announced a new iPhone on Wednesday, the iPhone 16e, and with it comes the apparent demise of the home button.

As Mashable's Stan Schroeder wrote, the announcement "likely means the iPhone SE, which was widely expected for today, has been retired in favor of the iPhone 16e" — that shift, Schroeder noted, would be "a pretty huge deal." One reason why? The newly announced 16e, unlike the iPhone SE, does not have the home button.

Apple's cheaper SE line was the last bastion of home button aficionados. The 16e, while also a relatively budget option, falls in line with the rest of Apple's iPhone lineup by swapping out the button for a full-screen experience.

The new iPhone 16e promises a large display, excellent battery life, and the ability to use Apple Intelligence, among other features.

All those features aside, folks online have already begun paying tribute to the deceased home button.
