iPhone 16E: Buy It Now or Wait for the iPhone 17?

Apple's newest phone, the $599 iPhone 16E, breaks with the company's usual September launch timeline and instead will be released on Friday, Feb. 28. In fact, you can preorder the 16E right now. The new iPhone offers a unique appeal: Get some of the iPhone 16's best features (a 48-megapixel camera, iOS 18 and an A18 chip for Apple Intelligence) for $200 less than the $799 iPhone 16. That makes the iPhone 16E basically a scaled-down version of the iPhone 16 that lacks certain features, like MagSafe charging and a second rear camera to keep the price low. But the iPhone 16E isn't the only phone Apple will release this year. We expect the iPhone 17 to launch in September. Rumors indicate that it might get a new ultra-thin design. So that begs the question: Should you buy an iPhone 16E now or wait six months for the iPhone 17? Unfortunately, the answer is: it depends.
