Apple iPhone 16e Review

 

The iPhone 16e is the spiritual successor to the iPhone SE 3 and the most affordable entry in Apple's current phone range.

A welcome update to the entry-level iPhone ; All the Apple Intelligence features ; Nice design for the price ; Great battery life

A large selection of missing features, like MagSafe ; Single rear camera is a bit limiting in 2025 ; The iPhone 16 isn’t that much more expensive

The iPhone 16e isn’t an exciting iPhone. But it is an iPhone that gets the job done. It has all the tentpole features most will expect and comes at a price that is, on paper at least, tempting. For those who want the best iPhone, the iPhone 16 Pro...

I tested the Asus Zenbook A14 for two weeks and it's so light that I forgot it was in my bag

 

While pricey, the Asus Zenbook A14 justifies it's cost

Amazing battery life ; Extremely lightweight ; Stunning screen

Not very many ports ; On the pricey side ; Definitely not a pro level device

A great portable laptop with enough battery to last you days at a time, perfect for those who are looking to commute often. You also get a stunning OLED screen which is lovely to watch movies and videos on.

The iPhone 16e is the perfect phone for your parents

 

Apple's new entry-level smartphone might not be for me, but it's a solid device for the average iPhone user.

Feels premium ; Camera snaps great photos ; A18 chip offers snappy performance

Roughly $100 too expensive ; Sizable bezels ; No ultra-wide lens

Apple’s new iPhone 16e is aimed at users on a budget, sporting many popular iPhone features while being priced much lower than its flagship counterpart, the iPhone 16.

With the iPhone 16e, is Apple abandoning budget devices?

 

Some upcoming hardware refreshes should confirm where Apple is headed.

Apple is being overly ambitious with Apple Intelligence, and it knows it

 

Apple's goal is worth pursuing, but the company may be a little overeager to get there.

Apple iPhone 16e review: Who is it for?

 

The iPhone 16e is the most modest entry in the current line-up, but there are many confusing choices considering the asking price

The iPhone 16e made me realise what you actually need for a good smartphone

 

Even though the iPhone 16e makes some cut-backs, this entry-point to Apple's iPhone range delivers power without the hefty price

Lightweight and updated design ; Superb battery and performance ; Great single-lens camera

No MagSafe ; 60Hz display ; Limited colour options

A lightweight design, solid performance, consistent camera and brilliant battery make the iPhone 16e a great value option for those wanting a (slightly) less expensive iPhone.

Apple finally killed the Home button with the iPhone 16e. I won’t miss it

 

The Home button being killed finally makes every iPhone ‘all screen'. About time. But there are still things it did better than anything else

Apple iPhone 16e

Apple iPhone 16E review: An entry-level iPhone that people might actually want

 

Has Apple finally created an entry-level iPhone that you want to buy? #apple #iphone16e #appleintelligence

Excellent performance ; Mostly good display ; Great camera ; Takes great videos ; Decent battery life

Not exactly cheap ; 60Hz display ; Missing Wi-Fi 7 support ; No MagSafe ; Missing latest Photographic Styles

The TL;DR version: Apple's most affordable iPhone is still rather pricey, but it's a solid phone that delivers great performance and takes great photos. In other words, it's all the iPhone most people would ever need. Note: You can find the Apple...
