"The iPhone 16e takes a brand-new position in Apple's iPhone family. With the $429 iPhone SE out of the picture, the $599 iPhone 16e stands as the most affordable new iPhone you can buy. Yes, it costs almost $200 more than the iPhone S"

iPhone 16e Review: Who Are You?

Marques Brownlee10 months ago

AI Summary

Marques Brownlee reviews the iPhone 16e, Apple's $599 budget phone. It has the A18 chip, 6.1" OLED screen, Face ID, 48MP camera, and long battery life. Lacks MagSafe, UWB chip, and fastest 5G. Brownlee questions its value, noting it's a big price jump from previous SE models but offers 5-7 years of software support. He sees it as confusing but potentially appealing to those wanting a new, smaller iPhone with long-term support.
