Our take on the iPhone 16e 128GB

The iPhone 16e is Apple's lower-cost 6.1-inch phone, built around the A18 chip and Apple Intelligence. It has a single 48MP rear camera, Face ID in a notch, USB-C and up to 21 hours of video playback. It suits shoppers who want a current iPhone and long software support without paying for a Pro model. Against the standard iPhone 16 it gives up the second rear camera, the Dynamic Island and MagSafe, so buyers who care about ultrawide shots or magnetic accessories should look higher in the range.

Best forBuyers who want a current iPhone at the low end of the lineupPeople upgrading from an older iPhone or SEHeavy users who want all-day battery lifeAnyone who wants Apple Intelligence and long software support
