Apple Launches iPhone 16e – A New Member From iPhone 16 Family

Apple launched a new iPhone in the iPhone 16 lineup, as anticipated, the new iPhone 16e.

iPhone 16e featured the fast performance of the A18 chip, Apple intelligence, better battery life, and a 48MP 2-in-1 camera system. Users can zoom in with optical quality with an integrated 2x telephone camera. The 16E includes the customizable Action Button, but not the new Camera Control you’ll find on the 16 series.

It also has satellite features, including Emergency SOS, Roadside Assistance, Messages, and Find My via Satellite. iPhone 16 comes in two matte finishes – black and white. Pre-orders begin Friday, February 21, with availability beginning Friday, February 28. iPhone 16e is the first iPhone with new Apple C1, the first cellular modem designed by Apple.

The 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display with OLED technology has an edge-to-edge design that is perfect for watching HDR videos, playing games, and reading crisp text. iPhone 16e has the best battery life ever on a 6.1-inch iPhone, lasting up to six hours longer than iPhone 11 and up to 12 hours longer than all generations of iPhone SE.

iPhone 16e features the Action button, allowing users to easily access a variety of functions with just a press. Once customized in Settings, the Action button can be used to quickly open the camera or flashlight; switch between Ring and Silent modes; recognize music with Shazam; activate Voice Memos, Focus, Translate, and accessibility features like Magnifier; or use Shortcuts for more options.

iPhone 16e will be available in white and black in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage capacities, starting at $599 (U.S.) or $24.95 (U.S.) per month for 24 months.
