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

cnet.com Mike Sorrentino 2025-06-07 12:00:28

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

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

There’s a very specific niche of Greek mythology geeks who think about the gods and goddesses at least once a day. Yes, it’s our Roman Empire, and with the news that Christopher Nolan (Interstellar) is going to meticulously assemble the grand myth of The Odyssey for the big screen with quite the epic cast, we’re so ready for it to be our time.

Best Over-Ear Headphones for 2025

Shure Aonic 50 Gen 2: A lot of us liked Shure's original Aonic 50 headphones, but they had pretty middling noise cancellation. Well, the 2nd-gen version addresses that issue -- the noise canceling is much improved -- and Shure has more than doubled the the battery life to around 45 hours (they now have a quick-charge feature) and also shrunk the headphone's carry case a bit, although it's still not that compact.

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

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

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
