iPhone inflation? Industry analyst predicts significant price bumps for iPhone 17 series

zdnet.com Kerry Wan 2025-06-21 14:00:21

Jason Hiner/ZDNET The latest US tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump have put Apple at a bit of a crossroads. With multiple tariffs impacting countries worldwide, including a 10% charge on all imports from China, electronics makers like Apple will soon have to decide if they'll take the brunt of the damage or redirect it to end consumers by increasing the price of goods. That includes the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and more. Also: Apple launches $599 iPhone 16e: Best features, specs, and

The Next iPad Needs an iPhone 16E Moment. But Will Its Cost Go Up, Too?

cnet.com Scott Stein 2025-06-21 16:00:00

Apple gave us a February surprise this year, launching a new entry-level iPhone ahead of schedule. The iPhone 16E is full of most of the things people want in an iPhone, plus hosts many features of the iPhone 16. But, while it's entry-level, it's not low-cost. As I wait for a new iPad to replace Apple's 10th-gen iPad base model, likely coming in the next month or so, I'm encouraged and concerned that Apple will follow a similar path as the 16E. Actually, it seems inevitable. But maybe I'm wrong.

Apple's iPhone 16E Has Lots of Features, but I'm Confused by What's Left Out

cnet.com Mike Sorrentino 2025-06-21 16:00:28

Apple's $599 iPhone 16E is the cheapest new phone that the company's released in years. Its debut Wednesday showcases a big rethink to how Apple presents itself for value-oriented shoppers. On one hand, Apple's created a device that's built to last for years by including the same A18 processor that's shipping in the $799 iPhone 16. The device's similarities to the iPhone 16 don't end there, with a similar display size, screen resolution, a USB-C port and front-facing camera. While there are som

Nothing prides itself on being an industry disruptor, releasing smartphones that match the efficiency of flagship devices while costing significantly less. The company frequently takes jabs at other smartphone brands, calling their devices boring and nothing more than empty product iterations, all while claiming its mission is to make tech fun again. Well, fun it did have at the expense of Apple’s reigning flagship — the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Unfortunately, this time, Nothing’s attempt to take down

It can be a flashlight, activate a smart home routine or let you access any number of custom shortcuts without having to unlock your phone and pick through apps.

iPhone 16e debuts Apple's first in-house modem, putting it one step closer to cutting ties with Qualcomm

techspot.com Cal Jeffrey 2025-06-21 09:06:00

In brief: Apple is a step closer to becoming silicon-independent. Its new C1 modem in the iPhone 16e marks Cupertino's first attempt at handling connectivity without outside help. The Silicon Valley tech giant has already cut ties with Intel, and Qualcomm could be next on the chopping block. Apple claims the C1 will improve power efficiency, helping the iPhone 16e achieve up to 26 hours of video playback. If the claim proves accurate, the 16e will become the longest-lasting 6.1-inch iPhone Cupe

A $599 iPhone 16e is a cruel joke

engadget.com Unknown 2025-06-21 17:05:07

The $599 iPhone 16e is many things, but don't you dare call it a budget phone. I hesitate to even call it "cheap." As a successor to the $429 iPhone SE, it's hard not to see the 16e as a disappointment. Sure, it's $200 less than the vanilla iPhone 16 (which I argued was a great deal at launch), and the 16e also packs in the latest A18 chip with support for Apple Intelligence. But it's no longer a small phone, and it pushes Apple's cheaper iPhone option well beyond $500. That's something we'll li
