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.”
Pros:
- Excellent size for one hand use, Single camera is surprisingly good, 2x telephoto is detailed and sharp, Vivid Super Retina display, Phenomenal battery life
Cons:
- Camera lacks details when zooming, Inconsistency in camera at different focal lengths, Display is only 60Hz, Apple Intelligence is not essential, Lacks MagSafe

Apple iPhone 16e 5G (8GB RAM, 256GB, Black) - Brand New review
It’s easy for me to get caught up in outrage, ranting at Apple’s decisions to exclude MagSafe or raise prices. But for people who don’t use magnetic accessories or who finance their smartphones over a two-year period, those might be non-issues.
Pros:
- Solid performance, Long battery life, Clean, durable design, Bright, vibrant screen
Cons:
- Only one rear camera, leading to many limitations, Expensive compared to previous iPhone SE, No MagSafe

I tested the iPhone 16e for a week and found it's a good phone that stretches the definition of 'budget'
Forget the iPhone SE; the iPhone 16e represents a whole new class of affordable iPhone. It has an excellent screen, powerful performance, a cutting-edge CPU with Apple Intelligence, and even an all-new C1 modem chip. It's also a bit of a frustrating conundrum.
Pros:
- Modern design, Versatile Action button, New C1 chip
Cons:
- The notch is back, 2x zoom is just a crop, No MagSafe

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.
Pros:
- A welcome update to the entry-level iPhone, All the Apple Intelligence features, Nice design for the price, Great battery life
Cons:
- 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
