"For a report released Monday , Ookla used its popular Speedtest tool to compare the online performance of the iPhone 16 against the iPhone 16e. With a starting price of $799, the iPhone 16 comes with a traditional Qualcomm modem, specifically the Snapdragon X71 5G. In contrast, the $599 iPhone 16e is outfitted with Apple's first in-house 5G modem, the C1."
"To measure the differences between the Qualcomm and Apple modems, Ookla said that it tested the online speeds across a range of markets and countries, especially ones in which people have gravitated toward the lower-cost 16e. The company specifically chose the iPhone 16 and 16e since both devices are similarly designed and sport the same 6.1-inch screen, with the modem being the major difference between them."
