Apple Introduces $599 iPhone 16e with A18 Chip and Enhanced Battery Life

The iPhone 16e offers advanced features like Apple Intelligence and a new C1 modem, positioning it as a budget-friendly yet capable addition to the iPhone lineup.

The iPhone 16e, priced at $599, features a 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, and a notch design, replacing the older SE series' Touch ID and smaller screens.
Powered by the A18 chip and Apple's first in-house C1 modem, the 16e supports Apple Intelligence features and delivers improved power efficiency.
The device boasts 'breakthrough' battery life, lasting up to 26 hours of video playback, making it comparable to higher-end iPhone models in terms of longevity.
While the 16e lacks mmWave 5G and features like MagSafe and Dynamic Island, it includes a 48MP camera and offers a more modernized design at a lower cost.
Preorders for the iPhone 16e start February 21, with shipments beginning February 28, marking a significant refresh in Apple's entry-level smartphone lineup.
