The iPhone 16e, priced at $599/€699/£599, is the budget-friendly member of the iPhone 16 series. It features a binned variant of the A18 chip, which includes a 6-core CPU (2 performance, 4 efficiency) and a 4-core GPU, compared to the 5-core GPU in the standard iPhone 16. While the reduced GPU may not significantly impact everyday use, benchmarks and demanding games could reveal performance differences. This approach demonstrates Apple’s strategy of maximizing chip production efficiency through chip binning, similar to prior models like the iPad mini (2024).
The iPhone 16e is the least expensive in the iPhone 16 series, featuring a binned A18 chip with a reduced GPU core count.
