On 19.02.2025 Apple presented the new iPhone 16e – a model with an unusual name, which is new for the company. At this time of the year, Apple traditionally announces its more budget model, so far it has been SE, SE 2020, and SE 2022. However, this year the company surprised us.
iPhone 16e offers high-end performance at a more affordable price. With the A18 chip and Apple's first built-in cellular modem (C1), the model delivers smooth operation, improved energy efficiency, and exceptional battery life. Designed for Apple Intelligence, it offers advanced AI capabilities while providing the highest level of privacy protection.
Display and design
iPhone 16e features a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display that delivers vivid visuals. Its durable design includes an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, a front cover with a ceramic shield, and the toughest rear glass in a smartphone. Available in matte black and white, it supports wireless and USB-C charging.
Colors
The iPhone 16e is available in two timeless and elegant finishes - matte white and matte black. Designed with durability in mind, it features a premium, fingerprint-resistant coating that enhances its sleek appearance. The device is also built to withstand everyday challenges, boasting an IP68 rating for splash and dust resistance, ensuring long-lasting protection in various environments.
Camera system
With a 48MP Fusion camera and an integrated 2x telephoto, iPhone 16e captures stunning high-definition photos and videos. Night mode, portrait mode, and 4K Dolby Vision recording enhance photography and video recording. The TrueDepth front camera delivers crisp selfies and smooth Face ID authentication.
Action button
The iPhone 16e introduces the Action button, offering seamless access to your most-used features with a single press. Once customized in Settings, this button lets users quickly launch the camera or flashlight, switch between Ring and Silent modes, recognize songs with Shazam, or activate essential tools like Voice Memos, Focus, Translate, and Magnifier for enhanced accessibility. Additionally, users can set up Shortcuts for even more personalized functions. The Action button also extends its capabilities to third-party apps. It enables quick access to in-app functions such as opening the camera in Snapchat, unlocking a car door with FordPass, or tracking a child’s sleep schedule with Napper. With this level of customization, the iPhone 16e ensures a more intuitive and efficient user experience.
