Apple has introduced a new iPhone variant – the SE has been replaced by the iPhone 16e. The “e” might suggest “economical,” but that’s not the case in Europe, where it starts at €700 – or $599 in the US. The iPhone 16e is equipped with an A18 chip, 8GB of RAM, a 6.1-inch display, and features a single 48MP camera on the rear, boasting lossless 2x zoom capabilities. Additionally, this model includes Apple’s much-anticipated first-ever in-house developed modem, the C1, and supports satellite connectivity for Emergency SOS, Roadside Assistance, Messages, and Find My via Satellite.
The iPhone 16e will be available exclusively in white and black. Pre-orders commenced on February 21, with shipments starting on the 28th.
On the subject of Apple, we’ve seen speculative initial renders of the iPhone 17 Air and 17 Pro. The Air is anticipated to be the only Titanium model in the range, featuring a visor-style camera island with just one lens. In contrast, the 17 Pro and Pro Max will also adopt a visor-like camera island, but much larger, housing three lenses. For the 2025 generation, Apple is reportedly planning to increase charging to 35W across all models.
It features only a single rear camera and lacks vibrant color options.
This year, Apple is set to launch two new smartphones featuring a single rear camera.
Although Apple might be stepping back from titanium for its Pro models, the Air will have unique features.
This could represent a notable shift in Apple’s design strategy if confirmed.
