Our take on the iPhone 16e 256GB Black

The iPhone 16e is Apple's lower-cost 6.1-inch phone with the A18 chip, a 48MP main camera, Face ID, USB-C and a 4,005 mAh battery rated for up to 26 hours of video playback. It keeps the essentials but uses a 60Hz OLED screen and a single rear camera. The 256GB model in black is widely sold; this listing is a carrier-unlocked unit in good condition with 100% battery health.
