There came a point when I realized that flagship phones were overrated.
Now, however, Apple has effectively retired the SE series with the announcement of theiPhone 16e.
Theres now less of a gap between the cheapest iPhone and the iPhone 16.
It went on sale on February 28.
Additionally, the iPhone 16e supports Apple Intelligence.
Trade in your old iPhone, and you might get up to $630 off.
Id still recommend putting a case on the iPhone 16e because its prone to superficial scratches.
Theres a trade-off here for sure, but its not a dealbreaker in my opinion.
Seriously, the iPhone 16e camera exceeds all of my expectations.
The only minor difference is how the iPhone 16e saturates my skin tone by just a teeny bit.
Next up, I want to show how the iPhone 16e handles zooming compared to the iPhone 16.
Both phones lack dedicated telephoto cameras, so zooming all depends on the main camera.
At 2x zoom, the differences are marginal detail capture is identical with the wooden post.
I can also make out more of the wooden textures with the iPhone 16es shot.
Its also a close call with high-contrast nighttime scenes.
Overall, Im beyond impressed by what this single 48MP camera can capture.
With that second camera, I can better take ultrawide photos for landscapes and group photos.
Furthermore, it offers the same slow motion mode as well with capture at 1080p 240fps.
It’s not perfect, but usable for most cases.
Not only were the frame rates buttery smooth, but the iPhone 16e also handled lighting effects with ease.
The iPhone 16’s average was 12:13.
Yet, the iPhone 16e’s result comes up a little short.
After 30 minutes, I got it to reach 57%.
But thankfully, the company provides access to all those AI features.
This is a big deal because of how Apple Intelligence amplifies the experience by streamlining tedious tasks.
Do I think Apples AI features are any better than rivals offerings such asGalaxy AIorGoogles AI?
