Apple gambles on new iPhone with AI features at lower cost
Briefly

Apple has launched the iPhone 16e, combining powerful AI features at a lower price than flagship models. It utilizes the same processor as the iPhone 16 but has fewer cameras and lower specs. The introduction aims to stimulate consumer demand after declining sales in previous quarters, despite cautious analyst opinions on the effectiveness of these features in driving sales. Priced at $599 in the UK, it builds on the legacy of the iPhone SE series, and pre-orders start on February 21 in 59 countries, signaling Apple’s ongoing commitment to affordability married with performance.
This now becomes one of the most affordable powerful iPhones now on the market. The move should help accelerate adoption and especially its foray into AI with Apple Intelligence.
Apple's trust and credibility is critical - this alone will help drive sales and lure users from rival devices and platforms.
The performance, intelligence and privacy Apple fans expect will drive the new model, enhancing productivity and self-expression for users.
Analysts have been cautious about the sales boost such tools bring, emphasizing the need for Apple to convincingly deliver on AI capabilities.
