The iPhone 16e launch frankly generated a lot of buzz because of what's not in this phone. You don't get MagSafe charging. Or the Dynamic Island. Or an ultrawide camera. Or Wi-Fi 7.
And those are all fair to bring up, especially since the iPhone 16e starts at $599. But you are also getting a lot for your money versus the previous iPhone SE 3. This includes a much larger 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, a sharper 48MP camera, an A18 chip and Apple Intelligence features.
