Our take on the Apple iPhone 16e

The iPhone 16e is Apple's lower-cost 6.1-inch phone, built around the A18 chip, 8 GB of RAM and a single 48 MP rear camera. It uses an OLED screen at 1170 x 2532, supports 5G and wireless charging, and is eSIM-only with no expandable storage. It suits people who want a current Apple chip and long iOS support without paying for a second rear lens, a 120 Hz screen or MagSafe-tier extras. Against the standard iPhone 16 it gives up the ultrawide camera, the Dynamic Island and some display features; against older budget iPhones it brings the newer chip and more memory.

Best forBuyers who want a current A18 chip in a smaller, lighter iPhonePeople upgrading from an iPhone SE or an older base modelUsers who mostly shoot with one main cameraAnyone who wants long iOS update support without flagship extras
Pros
  • A18 chip with 8 GB RAM handles games and multitasking smoothly
  • 48 MP main camera takes detailed, well-processed photos
  • Light at 5.89 oz and compact at 0.31 inches thick
  • Up to 26 hours of video playback from a 4,005 mAh battery
  • OLED screen at 457 ppi is sharp and color-accurate
  • USB-C charging and wireless charging support
Cons
  • Single rear camera, no ultrawide or telephoto
  • eSIM only, with no physical SIM tray
  • No expandable storage, so 128 GB is the ceiling on that model
  • Talk time is shorter than predecessors, which Apple ties to the new modem
  • 60 Hz-class display features and no always-on mode compared with pricier iPhones
