If you’ve always wanted an iPhone with an extra lowercase e in the name, then wow does Apple have an iPhone to sell you. But seriously, Apple is pretty straightforward about which existing iPhone customers it anticipates will upgrade to the iPhone 16e.

A $599 iPhone 16e is a cruel joke

engadget.com Unknown 2025-07-04 10:05:07

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

Online scams are as old as the internet, but the rise of crypto has given con artists a valuable new tool — digital coins that can be transferred instantly, without oversight from banks legally obligated to monitor transactions for malfeasance.
