Is the iPhone 16e worth it?

Yes, if you want a current iPhone with strong battery life and Apple Intelligence for less than the iPhone 16. Skip it if you need an ultrawide camera or a 120Hz screen.

How is the iPhone 16e different from the iPhone 16?

The 16e has one rear camera instead of two, no MagSafe magnets and a 60Hz display. It keeps the A18 chip, Apple Intelligence and a 6.1-inch OLED screen, and it has longer battery life than the iPhone 16.

How long does the battery last?

Apple rates it at up to 26 hours of video playback, the best in a 6.1-inch iPhone. Most owners report a full day of normal use with charge to spare.

Yes. It supports 5G, and this unit is sold with Walmart Family Mobile service.

For most people it is fine, but heavy photo and video users should consider more. There is no memory card slot, so storage cannot be expanded later.

The phone and a USB-C cable. Apple no longer includes a charger or earphones, so you need your own USB-C power adapter.
