Apple Launches iPhone 16e as Budget-Friendly Option with AI Features
The iPhone 16e replaces the SE line, offering the A18 chip, Apple Intelligence, and a $599 starting price, but lacks some features found in the iPhone 15.
- The iPhone 16e is now Apple's most affordable smartphone, starting at $599, and replaces the discontinued iPhone SE line.
- It features the A18 chip, a 6.1-inch OLED display, and introduces Apple Intelligence, enabling advanced AI functionalities like enhanced Siri capabilities and photo editing tools.
- The iPhone 16e lacks MagSafe, has slower wireless charging, and includes only one rear camera compared to the dual-camera setup on the iPhone 15.
- While the iPhone 15 offers a more modern design with Dynamic Island and better camera features, the 16e provides a cost-effective entry point to Apple's AI ecosystem.
- Pre-orders for the iPhone 16e are now open, with availability starting February 28 through Apple and major retailers.
