Apple has launched the iPhone 16e which comes with a 6.1-inch OLED display, is powered by A18 chip, 48MP camera, and USB-C charging. With iOS 18, 5G, and AI-powered features, it promises better performance and efficiency. Priced at Rs 59,900, pre-orders begin on February 21, with sales starting February 28.
After months and months of speculation, Apple has finally unveiled the iPhone 16e, a more affordable option in the iPhone 16 lineup. As speculated earlier, the phone is no longer known as the iPhone SE 4 but as iPhone 16 e. It keeps some of the core features from the flagship models, including the A18 chip, a 48MP camera, and satellite connectivity. Pre-orders begin on February 21, and the phone goes on sale on February 28.
The iPhone 16e looks similar to last year’s iPhone 15 but gets a bigger battery, which Apple says lasts up to 12 hours longer. It has a 6.1-inch display, now brighter and more color-accurate. The phone charges via USB-C and comes in black and white.
The iPhone 16e is powered by the A18 chipset, the same chip which has been used in the other iPhone 16 series. Apple says the updated 5G modem offers more stable connectivity, but real-world performance will depend on network conditions. AI-powered features are a major highlight, with ChatGPT integrated into iOS and Siri getting smarter.
The iPhone 16 e features a 48-megapixel primary camera. Apple has also made tweaks to the front camera for clearer selfies and video calls.
