Apple has cut back on the most affordable current iPhone. In addition to MagSafe and a second camera, it also sacrificed less conspicuous features such as the UWB receiver and Wi-Fi 7. A phone at this price with a 60-Hertz display looks outdated, something that is virtually unheard of with Android...
With the iPhone 16e, Apple is launching a solid entry-level model that is reminiscent of the iPhone 14 in many respects - but with modern upgrades such as the A18 chip and Apple Intelligence. The lack of MagSafe and the slimmed-down camera may bother some users, but the strong performance and long battery life make the 16e an attractive option for anyone looking for a powerful iPhone at a lower price.
