The iPhone 16e, marketed as a budget option by Apple at $599, disappoints by lacking critical features like MagSafe, 90Hz display, and ultrawide camera, which are standard in cheaper Android devices. Missing enhancements make it merely a slight upgrade from its predecessor, the iPhone SE. Apple pitches it excitingly, highlighting its A18 chip and battery life, but many competitors provide better value for significantly less money. The review strongly recommends looking away from the iPhone 16e to explore refurbished iPhones or Android alternatives instead.
For $599, you're missing: MagSafe, Dynamic Island, 90Hz or 120Hz Display, Ultrawide Camera, and proper price justification—this phone is $170 more than the iPhone SE but barely improves on it.
'iPhone 16e packs in the features our users love about the iPhone 16 lineup, including breakthrough battery life, fast performance powered by the latest-generation A18 chip...' said Kaiann Drance.
