Apple iPhone 16e review

The iPhone SE is dead; long live the iPhone E! Apple has replaced the more affordable SE line with the new iPhone 16e - a controversial choice as this new...

Likable design, durable and lightweight.

Neither compact (not as an SE, or a mini)...

The iPhone 16e is worth getting if you live in the US and the UK for being a solid phone at a reasonable price. In the EU, however, it is an overpriced midrange phone that will evoke raised eyebrows and chuckles, but sales - doubtful. Not at that price...

iPhone 16e Review: A capable new entry point to the iPhone 16 line

Just as powerful as the iPhone 16 ; Leading battery life ; Sharp screen ; Dependable cameras ; USB-C port ; Apple Intelligence runs well

Screen is not as bright as on the iPhone 16 ; No mmWave 5G, Ultra Wideband, or Wi-Fi 7 ; Lacks ultra-wide and telephoto cameras ; No MagSafe charging support

The iPhone 16e gracefully fulfills its role as the most affordable member of Apple's iPhone family without compromising the core experience.

Apple iPhone 16e: Everything You Need—or Not?

The iPhone 16e brings the A18 chip, long battery life and Apple Intelligence at a lower price. Is it worth buying?

Powerful A18 chip with high efficiency ; Excellent battery life ; Super Retina XDR display with high contrast ; Powerful 48 MP camera for stunning detail ; Apple Intelligence adds smart features

No Always-On display ; Only one camera ; No ProMotion technology (120Hz missing) ; No MagSafe support

The iPhone 16e is a really good entry-level iPhone for anyone who is new to the Apple ecosystem or wants to upgrade from an older iPhone model (iPhone 14 or older). It comes with Apple Intelligence, an incredibly long battery life and the A18...

I tested the Asus Zenbook A14 for two weeks and it's so light that I forgot it was in my bag

While pricey, the Asus Zenbook A14 justifies it's cost

Amazing battery life ; Extremely lightweight ; Stunning screen

Not very many ports ; On the pricey side ; Definitely not a pro level device

A great portable laptop with enough battery to last you days at a time, perfect for those who are looking to commute often. You also get a stunning OLED screen which is lovely to watch movies and videos on.

The iPhone 16e is the perfect phone for your parents

Apple's new entry-level smartphone might not be for me, but it's a solid device for the average iPhone user.

Feels premium ; Camera snaps great photos ; A18 chip offers snappy performance

Roughly $100 too expensive ; Sizable bezels ; No ultra-wide lens

Apple’s new iPhone 16e is aimed at users on a budget, sporting many popular iPhone features while being priced much lower than its flagship counterpart, the iPhone 16.

With the iPhone 16e, is Apple abandoning budget devices?

Some upcoming hardware refreshes should confirm where Apple is headed.
