Apple Announces New Entry-Level iPhone 16E
It’s good value for a new iPhone and capable enough for most consumers, but its $599 price makes it a tough sell against refurbished iPhones.
In a press release this afternoon, Apple announced the latest entry-level iPhone, the 16E. A spiritual successor to the iPhone SE, it looks similar to the standard iPhone 16, but whereas that starts at $799, this starts at $200 cheaper, at $599 — and you don’t sacrifice a lot for the downgrade.
Put both side by side, the core specifications are the same. Both use Apple’s A18 chip and have a 48MP primary camera, a 12MP selfie camera with FaceID face unlock, USB C charging, a 6.1″ “Ceramic Shield” screen, satellite data services, and even a customizable action button.
