Unlike other Iphones apple has launched its IPHONE 16e and its sale is going live on 28th feb 2025. This revamped version of the companie’s budget will have a Type-c charging port
a notch , a customizable Action button , a A18 and a lots of extra. Its is a good option for people looking forward for a smaller phone. You will miss the Home Button, Mag safe charging and a Dual Camera setup
A customizable Action Button
I love that Apple brought the Action Button to its new affordable iPhone 16E. It’s one of the better hardware features Apple introduced in recent years. It launched on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max and was included on all iPhone 16 models in 2024. I have mine set to launch a flashlight (and use it all the time), but you can set it to launch other apps, too, like Apple Translate, the camera app, shortcuts, and more. I’m sort of surprised Apple included it since previous iPhone SE mid-year launches usually included a newer processor but in a body a few years old.
MagSafe is missing
That’s a no for me. Not so much for MagSafe charge speed — wired is always faster anyway — but because the magnetic ring is so handy. You can always add a magnetic case, though, so if the camera is decent enough, I guess it’s not the end of the world.
Now with a notch
This design change means the SE finally feels like a modern take on an affordable phone: extremely powerful, packed with AI (for better or worse), and with a full-screen design that doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb.
The notch isn’t exactly Apple’s bleeding edge — I guess we’ll have to wait a few more years for the Dynamic Island to work its way down to the SE line — but it brings with it both Face ID and a lot more screen real estate. It is the end of an era, though: there’s no longer any iPhone on the market that has an uninterrupted display.
OLED at a nice 6.1 inches
As someone who currently wields a 6.7-inch brick of a phone, I’ve started to long for my iPhone 6S days. At 6.06 inches, the iPhone 16E’s screen size seems like the perfect medium between too big and too small. It’s bigger than the iPhone SE released in 2022 but roughly the same as the standard 6.1-inch iPhone 16 (though it’s also 0.1mm narrower and 0.7mm shorter). That will hopefully be a plus for those of us who want to put our phones in our pockets.
