Apple unveiled the iPhone 16e on Wednesday, practically confirming most of the “iPhone SE 4” rumors that preceded the launch. The phone looks like an iPhone 14 but features the high-end specs of the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, which allows it to run Apple Intelligence out of the box.
The price isn’t as low as we thought Apple would go, but it’s not surprising either. For $599, you get an amazing device that it’s miles better than the iPhone 14 phones, which are gone from Apple’s inventory. The iPhone 16e is also a better option than the iPhone 15, which can’t do Apple Intelligence and costs $100 more.
The iPhone 16e does have expected compromises, including the notch at the top instead of the Dynamic Island, the single-lens camera instead of a two-lens shooter, and the absence of a Camera Control button. There’s also an unexpected compromise Apple made for a non-SE smartphone: The iPhone 16e doesn’t support MagSafe.
