The Apple iPhone 16e brings the modern iPhone experience to a more accessible price point, replacing the iPhone SE line with a device that finally leaves the old design behind. Gone are the chunky bezels and Touch ID home button, replaced by a 6.1-inch edge-to-edge Super Retina XDR OLED display with Face ID. Powered by the same A18 chip found in the iPhone 16 with 8GB of RAM, it is the most affordable iPhone to support Apple Intelligence, unlocking writing tools, image generation, smart summaries, and an enhanced Siri. The 48MP Fusion camera delivers impressive results with sensor-crop 2x zoom, effectively giving you two focal lengths from a single lens. Apple's custom C1 modem debuts here, delivering improved cellular efficiency and battery life of up to 26 hours of video playback, a dramatic improvement over the iPhone SE 3. USB-C replaces Lightning, and the Action Button adds quick-access customisation. Starting at $599 for 128GB, the iPhone 16e is the smartest entry point into the Apple ecosystem for anyone who wants a modern design, capable performance, and full access to Apple's AI features without stretching to flagship pricing.
