It's official: the iPhone 16e is now available for preorder. Apple's latest addition to their smartphone lineup, the iPhone 16e, is set to launch on February 28, but eager customers can secure their device right now. This innovative mobile device, which combines the functionality of a phone, iPod, and internet communication tool, comes in sleek black or white and starts at an attractive price of $599, making it the most affordable option in the iPhone 16 series. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to preorder your iPhone 16e.
Where to Buy the iPhone 16e
Available for preorder starting February 21, you can get the Apple iPhone 16e at various retailers:
- $599.00 at Verizon
- Get it at Apple
- Get it at Best Buy
- Get it at Verizon
- Get it at AT&T
- Get it at T-Mobile
The iPhone 16e steps in as Apple's latest budget-friendly smartphone, succeeding the iPhone SE, which was last refreshed in 2022. Unlike the SE, the 16e closely mirrors the standard iPhone 16 in size and specifications, though it's priced higher at $599 compared to the SE's $429 starting price. However, it remains significantly more affordable than the standard iPhone 16 at $799 and even undercuts the iPhone 15, which starts at $699.
iPhone 16e Specs
What does the iPhone 16e offer? This model features a 6.1-inch OLED display with a traditional notch, rather than the dynamic island found on the standard iPhone 16.
Under the hood, it's powered by the same A18 chip as the iPhone 16 but comes with a 4-core GPU, one less than the iPhone 16. This might slightly impact performance, but it fully supports Apple Intelligence, ensuring you can enjoy all the AI features introduced with iOS 18. The iPhone 16e also incorporates Apple’s new C1 cellular modem for improved power efficiency and better battery life, promising up to 26 hours of video playback compared to the 22 hours on the standard model.
On the downside, the iPhone 16e lacks MagSafe integration, so you won't be able to use MagSafe chargers. It does, however, support Qi wireless charging. The color options are limited to black or white, unlike the more vibrant choices available with the iPhone 16. Despite these trade-offs, the iPhone 16e represents a compelling, budget-friendly option within the iPhone family.
