Apple iPhone 16e Device Specifications

The iPhone 16e is Apple's entry-level iPhone 16 model, offering core features like the A18 chip, a 48MP single main camera, an Action Button, USB-C, and iOS 18 with Apple Intelligence, but it sacrifices advanced features like MagSafe, an ultra-wide lens, Dynamic Island, and always-on display to hit a lower price point ($599). It boasts good battery life and performance for everyday tasks, with a durable design, strong 5G, and emergency satellite features, but compromises on display smoothness (60Hz) and charging speed compared to its Pro siblings, positioning itself as a solid, affordable gateway to the latest iPhone tech.
