Apple has started take pre - orders for its late smartphone , theiPhone 16e , in the U.S. and elsewhere . The rather dissentious budget - focus smartphone from Apple is a major evolution over the now - defunctiPhone SEand sits underneath the mainline iPhones with a clustering of similarity and some serious feature - trimming , as well .
It starts at $ 599 in the U.S. for the 128 GB storage variant , while the 256 GB and 512 GB version will have you set forth ways with $ 699 and $ 899 , respectively .
Monthly installment plans for the iPhone 16e begin at at $ 25 on Apple ’s onlinestore , while Apple Care+ ( with Theft and Loss protection ) are up for grabs at $ 10 / calendar month and $ 100 / year . newsboy options list on the depot include Verizon , AT&T , T - Mobile , and Boost , but you could take the unbolted road , as well .
Apple is also offer patronage - ins up to $ 630 . That maximal amount is for theiPhone 15 Pro Max , a definitely better offering than the iPhone 16e , so you probably should n’t be tempted . Apple ’s trade wind - in note value for Android telephone set ? Well , countenance ’s just say they ’re embarrassingly low .
As usual , a institutionalise cable television is the only peripheral equipment you get in the box seat , which means you have to fork out extra cash for a charge brick . Talking of load , there is no financial backing for MagSafe charging on this one , but wireless charging is still supported .
Apple has also , for incomprehensible understanding , saidgoodbye to the conception of people of colour . The iPhone 16e will only be available in black and white shades , but you may get some colorful cases from Apple ’s own line - up , or third - political party labels .
What do you get with the iPhone 16e?
As far as the internals go , the most famous one is a 6.1 - column inch OLED panel and a battery that is rated to last longer than theiPhone 16 . This is also the first iPhone to have Apple ’s own mesh modem , the C1 , which the society has worked on for years .
This is also an AI - ready telephone set and comes armed with A18 silicon , though it is not the same as the A18 fitted inside the iPhone 16 , because it descend with only four GPU heart or else of five .
In the photographic camera department , the iPhone 16e adopts the 48 - megapixel Fusion Camera , which is subject of 2x optic rapid climb seizure , as well . However , itmisses out on a whole gang of featurescompared to the iPhone 16 ’s 48MP principal Chrysophrys auratus .
The material body is your usual brutalist industrial design affair from Apples , blending Al with a glass back to achieve the clean flavour . Satellite connectivity is part of the parcel for emergency communication .
Another key element is the USB - speed of light port on the iPhone SE , which ultimately marks the oddment of Apple ’s Lightning connector on iPhones . You wo n’t be neglect , fella !
