Apple has launched a new iPhone, but what was expected to become a completely new product line this morning: the iPhone 16E. This is not exactly the follow -up to the iPhone SE three years ago, though it officially replaced it. It is also the iPhone 14, which means that the Apple iPhone combination now consists of the iPhone 16E, iPhone 15 and iPhone 16. Apple announced the new device online and without fan.
The iPhone 16E is available for $ 599 on February 21, which effectively eliminates the iPhone below $ 500. Official sales begin on February 28. Here’s the new Apple iPhone.
A modern iPhone, cheaper
The new iPhone 16E, a spiritual successor to the iPhone SE, says goodbye to Halmacks such as the Touch ID home button and thick margins around the display in favor of the modern appearance that has been Apple iPhones over the past few years. This means that a full -screen front, which now uses an OLED page, is cooked in the camera slot with the face ID.

Unlike the current combination of the iPhone 16, this iPhone does so No. Use the dynamic island system a floating strip around the front camera that shows live information from applications such as maps and Uber. Here, the camera gap is just a static vacuum. The 6.1 -inch screen, just as the iPhone 16, a large 4.7 -inch leap on the third iPhone SE. This is no longer a small phone, a blow for anyone who hopes for the other small iPhone – especially since Apple killed the iPhone mini series a few years ago.
The annoying, the iPhone is still stuck with a 60 Hz screen refresh, even though most other smartphones at this price have a renewal rate of -90 or 120 Hz. Higher rate means a softer experience using fluid animations. Apple calls the ad, and it is still in the iPhone Pro series, although it is expected to enter the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Plus later this year.
Also noteworthy is the switch from the Lighting Charging port to the USB-C port. Apple was first changed to the World Port in the iPhone 15 in 2023, which means that the entire iPhone combination finally has a USB-C. Unfortunately, like the iPhone 16, the port transfer speed is 480 Mbps the same. For faster speed, you need to buy the iPhone 16 Pro.
In December 2024, Apple stopped selling the 2022 iPhone SE and other thunderstorms in the European Union to observe the regulations that require the World USB-C port on devices such as telephones and tablets. The previous version of the iPhone 16E shows that Apple wanted to quickly fill the gap and bring the low -cost iPhone back to the market.
