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...

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.

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.

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

The iPhone 16e is the most modest entry in the current line-up, but there are many confusing choices considering the asking price
Expert review by : Britta O'Boyle (stuff.tv)
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.

The Home button being killed finally makes every iPhone ‘all screen'. About time. But there are still things it did better than anything else
Expert review by : which_co_uk (which.co.uk)
The Apple iPhone 16e is Apple's cheapest phone since 2022. It comes with Apple Intelligence, but a few noticeable features are missing. Has Apple made too many compromises to lower the price of the 16e, or is buying it a great way to save money on your...

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...
