The iPhone 16e makes some trades to hit the lower price point, but it makes a compelling case for itself as the cheapest phone that will last the longest.- Modern design, Good battery life, Nice-looking screen, Top-tier performance, Reliable camera
- No MagSafe, More expensive than the iPhone SE

A capable new entry point in the iPhone 16 line- Just as powerful as the iPhone 16, Leading battery life, Sharp screen, Dependable cameras, USB-C port, Apple Intelligence runs well

Apple iPhone 16e Review
The iPhone 16e isn’t an exciting iPhone. But it is an iPhone that gets the job done. It has all the tentpole features most will expect and comes at a price that is, on paper at least, tempting.- A welcome update to the entry-level iPhone, All the Apple Intelligence features, Nice design for the price, Great battery life
- A large selection of missing features, like MagSafe, Single rear camera is a bit limiting in 2025, The iPhone 16 isn’t that much more expensive
Apple iPhone 16e review: The best value iPhone
Misses out on some core features but the iPhone 16e has better battery life and a much nicer design than SE models- Impressive battery life, Fast performance, Top video camera
- 60Hz display, No MagSafe charging, Only one camera
Apple iPhone 16e reviewed: everything you might need
As a reviewer, I use most if not all of the features on the iPhone 16 Pro Max, easily one of this reviewer’s favourite phones right now. Day in and day out, the feature set is in regular use, from the three camera system to the ProRes and RAW capabilities to the action button, and special screen...- Lovely design, Great screen, Solid performance, Decent camera (that could be a little better), Surprising battery life, Water resistant
- A little expensive for what it is, particularly outright, No MagSafe, Camera isn't quite as good as the iPhone 16 range
iPhone 16e review: Best entry point to the Apple world
The iPhone 16e offers an impressive blend of flagship features at a more affordable price point.
iPhone 16e review: the no-frills iPhone ideal for first time users
“The iPhone 16e is built for someone who has never had an iPhone before. It offers a no-frills essentials-only iPhone experience that is ideal if you’re joining Apple’s ecosystem, but will leave you wanting if you’ve had a more capable iPhone in the past.”- Excellent size for one hand use, Single camera is surprisingly good, 2x telephoto is detailed and sharp, Vivid Super Retina display, Phenomenal battery life
- Camera lacks details when zooming, Inconsistency in camera at different focal lengths, Display is only 60Hz, Apple Intelligence is not essential, Lacks MagSafe
iPhone 16e review: The cheaper iPhone that packs a punch
This is the phone for people who want an iPhone with many years of software updates, but don’t want or need all the bells and whistles. For that audience, the iPhone 16e is perfect.- Lower cost iPhone option, Long battery life, Same chip as the iPhone 16
- Still $1,000, Apple Intelligence still has a lot of issues that need to be ironed out
