iPhone 16e drops to lowest-ever price on Amazon: Should you buy it?

Despite being more affordable than the iPhone 15, the iPhone 16e comes with Apple Intelligence, Apple's latest suite of AI features, which the 15 doesn’t offer.

If you've been eyeing a new iPhone, now might be the perfect time to grab one. As part of Amazon’s Great Summer Sale, the iPhone 16e is now available at its lowest-ever price — just Rs 53,999 for the 128GB model. On top of that, if you use an HDFC Bank credit card, you can save an extra Rs 1,250, bringing the effective price even lower.

To put things into perspective, the iPhone 16e launched at Rs 59,900, so you're saving nearly Rs 6,000. What makes this deal even sweeter? Despite being more affordable than the iPhone 15 (Rs 58,999), the iPhone 16e comes with Apple Intelligence — Apple's latest suite of AI features — which the 15 doesn’t offer.

Sure, it’s not the flashiest iPhone around. It still has the old-school notch, a 60Hz display, and just a single rear camera. But it does have some cool upgrades, like an Action Button, USB-C charging, wireless charging, and a long-lasting battery. Plus, it’s the first iPhone with Apple’s own 5G modem, which is a pretty big deal.

Under the hood, it packs the powerful A18 chip and 8GB RAM, meaning it can handle even the most demanding mobile games and apps with ease. While it may not match Android flagships like the iQOO 13 or realme GT 7 Pro in terms of hardware, the iPhone 16e offers something they don’t — a smooth, long-lasting iOS experience and access to the Apple ecosystem.

So, if you want to get into the Apple world without spending a fortune — and you’re okay with skipping a few premium features — this could be the iPhone deal you’ve been waiting for.
