Our take on the iPhone 16e Black (Unlocked)

The iPhone 16e is Apple's lower-cost phone, built around the same A18 chip as the standard iPhone 16 and supporting Apple Intelligence. It has a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen, a single 48MP Fusion rear camera and a 12MP TrueDepth front camera, and it is factory unlocked for use with compatible carriers. It suits shoppers who want current Apple performance and long software support without paying for a second rear lens or extra buttons. Against the iPhone 16 it gives up the ultrawide camera, the Dynamic Island and MagSafe, so buyers who care about those should look higher in the range.

Questions and answers

Is the iPhone 16e worth it over the iPhone 16?
If you want the lowest-cost current iPhone and don't need an ultrawide camera, MagSafe or the Dynamic Island, the 16e covers the essentials with the same A18 chip. Step up to the iPhone 16 if those features matter to you.
Does the iPhone 16e support Apple Intelligence?
Yes. The A18 chip and 8GB of memory let it run Apple Intelligence features, including the updated Siri and writing tools, as they roll out in iOS.

One rear camera, a 48MP Fusion sensor that also offers a 2x crop for zoomed shots, plus a 12MP TrueDepth front camera. There is no ultrawide or telephoto lens.
Does the iPhone 16e have MagSafe?
No. It charges wirelessly with Qi but lacks the MagSafe magnet array, so magnetic wallets, mounts and chargers won't snap on without a MagSafe-compatible case.

This version is factory unlocked, so it works with compatible carriers. Check that your carrier supports eSIM or a physical SIM as required.

Apple ships the phone with a USB-C charging cable. There is no power adapter or EarPods in the box.
