1:27Now PlayingWith a starting price of $599, Apple Inc.’s iPhone 16e is hardly a budget phone.
This new handset replaces the $429 iPhone SE as the cheapest phone in Apple’s lineup. And while it brings many of the iPhone 16’s features and enhancements, including Apple Intelligence and a programmable Action button, it cuts back on camera capabilities, display quality and other areas. So it’s neither cheap nor a full-fat iPhone. Who is it for?
People like me, perhaps. I’ve lived outside the Apple bubble for years now, opting for Android-powered devices offering better cameras and specs for the money. But I have many US friends whose digital lives depend on iMessage, and I look on with envy at the ubiquity of Face ID and the company’s unrivaled selection of third-party apps. The “it just works” quality of the iPhone user experience (while slightly less solid than it once was) still carries appeal — so, while I might not spend flagship-phone money on an iPhone, a lite version at a palatable price could be appealing.
