Pros
- +Same fast Apple A18 chip and 8GB RAM as the iPhone 16, Apple's first in-house C1 modem improves battery efficiency, USB-C port and Action key carried over from recent iPhones, Full Apple Intelligence feature support, Satellite messaging in supported regions
Cons
- −No MagSafe magnetic wireless charging support, Dated 6.1-inch 60Hz OLED display design borrowed from 2021's iPhone 13, Single rear camera with no ultrawide lens, Only available in black or white
Expert Review
GSMArena's review found the iPhone 16e a solid phone with the latest Apple silicon and satellite features, but considered it an overpriced midrange phone given its dated iPhone 13-style design and lack of MagSafe support.
VERDICT
The best pick for buyers who want Apple's latest chip and long-term software support at the lowest possible price, rather than the most current design or camera system.
