Apple surprises tech enthusiasts yet again, launching the iPhone 16E ahead of its usual September schedule. While we await the iPhone 17 series, Apple delights fans with this affordable innovation, albeit not quite pocket-friendly for all.
Apple asserts that the iPhone 16E boasts an all-day battery life. The company highlights that their custom-designed chipset significantly boosts battery performance, including an impressive claim of 26 hours of video playback.
The iPhone SE is officially retired as Apple shifts towards the E series, introducing the intelligent iPhone 16E.
Pre-orders for the iPhone 16E begin this Friday, with sales commencing on February 28. It offers a powerful A18 chipset, a hallmark of excellence also found in the iPhone 16 series.

The iPhone 16E features a singular 48-megapixel rear camera, maintaining a design language similar to the iPhone 16, including a USB Type-C port.
Enjoy brilliant visuals on the iPhone 16E’s 6.1-inch OLED display. It supports Face ID but omits Touch ID for enhanced security.
