IPhone 16E vs. iPhone 15 Pro: Affordable Alternatives to the iPhone 16

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-07-26 10:00:08

The iPhone 16 is an excellent handset for Apple aficionados, but $799 can be pretty pricey for a lot of people. But there are a couple of good options that are both cheaper and have Apple Intelligence: the iPhone 16E and the iPhone 15 Pro. Both have 6.1-inch displays, but the Pro has a few more perks. The 16E starts at $599, but Apple no longer sells the 15 Pro. However, you can snag a used version of the 15 Pro for anywhere between $538 and $684 or get a refurbished one from Apple for $759. On

iPhone 17e said to launch next spring, with identical display to 16e

A new supply-chain report suggests that the iPhone 17e will launch next spring, which is in line with previous reporting. It doesn’t sound like the upcoming model will be a major update, with today’s report indicating that it will use the exact same display as the iPhone 16e … This display was itself repurposed from the iPhone 14. One big question when Apple replaced the iPhone SE with the iPhone 16e was whether the new naming scheme pointed to an annual update. The SE had been updated at ran

iPhone 16E Specs vs. Google Pixel 8A: How Apple and Google's Lower-Cost Phones Match Up

Google's A-series Pixel handsets are typically budget-friendly, but currently the cheapest Google goes is $499 for the Pixel 9A. If you do want all of Google's flagship features and are comfortable with getting a used or refurbished device, you could check out last year's Pixel 8A which is going for under $300 in the secondary market. Strangely, Google is currently selling the Pixel 8A for the same price as the Pixel 9A, so it doesn't make sense to buy a new version of the Pixel 8A. A sub-$300

Which iPhone 16 Model Should You Buy?

In a surprising twist, Apple has expanded the iPhone 16 range months after launch with the new iPhone 16e. Unlike the iPhone SE it replaced, the iPhone 16e is a part of the “iPhone 16 family,” according to Tim Cook. That means you have a staggering five different iPhone 16 models to choose from: iPhone 16e, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, and they range from $599 unlocked to $1,199.

The 'E' in iPhone 16E Might As Well Stand for Expensive

cnet.com David Lumb 2025-06-05 01:00:07

Apple has unveiled its newest phone, the iPhone 16E, and promptly removed its budget iPhone SE (2022) from its online store. While that suggests Apple sees its new phone as a follow-up to its only affordable option, its $600 price tag means it's more of a discounted premium handset than a true budget pick. But I hold out hope. I'm an iPhone SE truther: I believe the affordable phone space is too valuable for Apple to give up. The iPhone 16E inhabits a mid-range role that had been missing for a

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 Silicon Valley tech giant has already cut ties with Intel, and Qualcomm could be next on the chopping block.

A $599 iPhone 16e is a cruel joke

engadget.com Unknown 2025-06-05 01:05:07

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

Apple I might be the one and only person who’s genuinely excited about the iPhone 16e. On paper, there’s nothing crazy about Apple’s new mid-range phone — it only has one camera, brings back the notch for Face ID, and comes in two bland colorways, black and white. But hear me out — that’s why I’m excited.
