Apple iPhone 16e
£27.95 – £53.95 excl VAT
Apple’s iPhone 16e, introduced in February 2025, serves as the entry-level model in the iPhone 16 lineup, succeeding the iPhone SE series. It features a 6.1-inch OLED display, the A18 processor, and a 48MP Fusion camera capable of 2x optical zoom. The device introduces an Action Button replacing the traditional mute switch and transitions to a USB-C port, aligning with Apple’s latest connectivity standards. Notably, the iPhone 16e lacks MagSafe compatibility and the ultra-wideband chip found in higher-end models. Despite these omissions, it boasts impressive battery life and supports Apple Intelligence features, offering a compelling option for users seeking a modern iPhone experience at a more accessible price point.
