So, after weeks (if not months) of anticipation, the iPhone 16e is finally here – baffling almost everyone from a naming standpoint (iPhone SE 4 it ain't) but ticking off much of what was expected in terms of features. It's very much a stripped-back version of the iPhone 16, and looks like Apple's way of continuing the iPhone SE lineup in a form that'll be easier to differentiate on a yearly basis moving forward. It'll probably be a lock on lists of the best iPhones moving forward.
The phone becomes a new affordable option for those who aren't quite willing to stretch to a new iPhone 16, but does so by making some really interesting changes and omissions. It even introduces a couple of features that no other iPhone can boast, so I've brought together a shortlist of the five facts you need to know about it if you're considering a pre-order.
