Great cameras, not Apple Intelligence, is what people want from an iPhone 16e

engadget.com Unknown 2025-06-29 19:00:41

After much anticipation, Apple finally announced the iPhone 16e yesterday. Looking at its position in the company's lineup, the 16e is a headscratcher. My colleague Ian Carlos Campbell already wrote about how strange it is that the phone is missing MagSafe, a feature universally loved by Apple users. However, the omission that stands out the most to me is that the iPhone 16e doesn't come with more than a single rear camera, and no, 2x telephoto cropping doesn't count. Sure, if you put the 16e a

Apple launches $599 iPhone 16e: Best features, specs, and everything else to know

Apple It was a little more than two years ago when Apple refreshed its entry-level, low-cost iPhone model, ideal for people who didn't need all of the bells and whistles but still wanted to be part of the Apple ecosystem -- the iPhone SE. After a two-year hiatus, the next big refresh has arrived. Also: What does the 'e' in iPhone 16e stand for?

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

Apple's Lower-Priced iPhone 16E Could Be Its Biggest Opportunity of 2025

cnet.com Mike Sorrentino 2025-06-29 19:59:00

Apple's $599 iPhone 16E is the biggest refresh ever for the company's lower-cost phone, formerly called the iPhone SE, and it couldn't arrive at a better time. With generative AI requiring beefier specs, and US tariffs on imports from China possibly bringing an increase in costs, Apple's entry-level iPhone might provide enough new features to be worth the upgrade from an earlier iPhone SE. But those prior iPhone SE owners will be facing a substantial price hike, with the iPhone 16E costing $170

Apple iPhone 16e (2025): Specs, Price, Release Date

Apple has launched a new iPhone, but what was expected to be a new iPhone SE announcement this morning has turned into a completely new product line: the iPhone 16e. This isn't exactly a follow-up to the iPhone SE from three years ago, though it officially replaces it. Also gone is the iPhone 14, meaning Apple's iPhone lineup now consists of the iPhone 16e, iPhone 15, and iPhone 16 series. Apple announced the new device online without much fanfare.

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

techspot.com Cal Jeffrey 2025-06-29 22:06:00

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

Apple resists UK regulator demands to open up iOS browsers, citing security risks

A proposed stipulation regarding updates to Apple's WebKit engine is particularly noteworthy.

Does Apple’s C1 chip mean mmWave 5G is dead?

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-06-29 23:48:50

Apple achieved a major milestone yesterday, when it launched an iPhone with its own in-house modem instead of a Qualcomm one: the C1 chip. This has been a key goal for the company for a great many years for two reasons, so finally ticking the box is a pretty big moment … The twin benefits of the C1 chip As we noted yesterday, ditching a Qualcomm modem for the C1 is a double-win for Apple. First, Qualcomm’s fee structure, which Apple has long considered unfair. When Apple bought modem chips f

Visual Intelligence feature coming to iPhone 15 Pro with a future iOS update

Apple Intelligence is available for iPhone 15 Pro and later, but there’s an exclusive feature for iPhone 16 models, which is Visual Intelligence. Some believed this was because the iPhone 15 Pro lacks Camera Control, but that all changed with the iPhone 16e – which supports Visual Intelligence.

Apple's iPhone 16E Brings Apple Intelligence Features With a Cheaper Price Tag

cnet.com Abrar Al-Heeti 2025-06-30 00:00:11

Until now, Apple Intelligence has been reserved for the cool kids – aka, the people with the latest, most powerful iPhones. Now, the $599 (£599, AU$999) iPhone 16E is here to shake that up. Apple's latest version of its budget phone line invariably cuts corners when it comes to design and camera specs, but it doesn't hold back with AI. Equipped with an A18 chip -- just like the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus -- the more affordable phone can power a suite of Apple Intelligence features including notifica

The iPhone is done with home buttons — here’s why I’ll miss it

theverge.com Jay Peters 2025-06-30 00:00:00

For the first time since the iPhone’s debut in 2007, Apple no longer sells a smartphone with a home button. The iPhone 16E announced yesterday removes it. The removal was long overdue, having been surpassed by all touchscreen controls many years ago. But while the home button’s time is over, it leaves behind an important legacy. The home button was crucial to the first iPhone, but it was also jarring; no other phone at that time had basically no buttons. It was both a gamble and a necessary inn

Humane wrapped its bet against the iPhone in the cloak of AI and lost

The Ai Pin is officially dead. Parts of Humane have been sold to HP, and the Ai Pin will cease to function in a week. Cause of death? An outdated and undercooked bet against the iPhone made by former Apple engineers that Humane tried to disguise as artificial intelligence hardware.

The iPhone 16e's lack of MagSafe doesn't make sense

The iPhone 16e, Apple's replacement for the iPhone SE, has plenty of features that make it a good deal, from its A18 chip to the fact that it actually comes with an OLED screen. But one glaring omission in its spec sheet makes no sense: Why doesn't this $599 phone have MagSafe? Despite looking a lot like an iPhone 14, and using components that are similar to the iPhone 16, the iPhone 16e doesn't support MagSafe or fast wireless charging.

The new iPhone 16e replaced the iPhone SE, giving the aging device a much-needed cosmetic upgrade and power boost, but it comes at a cost. The overhaul is so big that the iPhone 16e is essentially a new class of device in Apple's smartphone lineup, hence the name change. (Apple didn't say what the “e” stands for.)
