iPhone 16e: Latest iPhone, Greatest Price.
Apple has officially unveiled the iPhone 16e, the successor to the iPhone SE 2022. Packed with major upgrades, this new model offers a fresh take on Apple’s most affordable iPhone. Here’s what’s new:
- Larger 6.1-inch display – Provides more space for content, reduces the need for scrolling, and creates a more comfortable viewing experience compared to the 4.7-inch screen of the iPhone SE 2022.
- Powerful A18 chip with Apple Intelligence – Boosts performance, improves efficiency, and unlocks Apple’s latest AI-powered features for a seamless experience.
- Face ID replaces Touch ID – Enables secure facial recognition with the TrueDepth camera to unlock the device, authorises Apple Pay transactions, and accesses protected apps.
- Upgraded 48MP camera with Night mode – Captures sharper, more detailed photos and videos, even in low light, and zooms up to 2x optically without losing quality.
- Extended battery life – Delivers up to 12 extra hours of power compared to previous SE models, ensuring all-day use without frequent charging.
- Emergency satellite connectivity – Allows users to contact emergency services even in areas without mobile signal.
- USB-C port and customisable Action Button – Replaces the Lightning connector and mute switch to enable faster charging, broader accessory compatibility, and personalised quick actions.
The iPhone 16e is available in black and white, with storage options of 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. Prices start at €568,08 (VAT exclusive), with pre-orders opening on 21 February and deliveries starting from 28 February.
iPhone 16 vs. iPhone 16e
While the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16e share many similarities, key differences set them apart, some of which may be crucial when choosing the right device for your business. Here’s what sets them apart:
- Single-lens camera with no ultra-wide or telephoto options– The iPhone 16e features a 48MP Fusion wide-angle camera but lacks an ultra-wide 0.5x mode and a dedicated telephoto lens. It also misses out on macro mode and spatial photography.
- No dedicated Camera Control button– Unlike the iPhone 16 series, the iPhone 16e does not include a physical Camera Control button for quick access and adjustments, requiring all camera functions to be controlled via the touchscreen.
- No MagSafe and slower wireless charging– The iPhone 16e does not support MagSafe accessories, limiting wireless charging to 7.5W, significantly slower than the 15W MagSafe charging or 25W available on other iPhone 16 models.
- No Dynamic Island, only a notch– While the iPhone 16e has a full-screen display, it retains a notch at the top instead of the Dynamic Island found on the iPhone 14 Pro and later, meaning no interactive pop-ups for music, navigation, or Live Activities.
- Lower display brightness – The iPhone 16e has a peak brightness of 1,200 nits, while the iPhone 16 reaches 2,000 nits, making the latter version easier to view in bright conditions.
