What I Found
Apple’s iPhone 16e starts at $599 with Apple Intelligence, the A18 chip, USB-C, and Apple’s new C1 modem, but it.
Apple dropped the iPhone 16e, and my first question was pretty simple: where does this actually fit? Is this the new iPhone SE with a different name, a cheaper iPhone 16, or a phone that sits awkwardly between the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16?
The iPhone 16e starts at $599 and looks like Apple’s new entry-level iPhone. It gets the A18 chip, Apple Intelligence support, USB-C, Face ID, a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display, satellite features, and Apple’s first custom cellular modem, the C1.
