Apple debuted the budget-friendly iPhone 16e on February 19 at a surprise event, prompting those previously interested in the base iPhone 16 to ask: which of Apple's affordable iPhones is the better value?
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16e share the same chip family, display size, and storage options, and both phones run iOS 18 and all the Apple Intelligence goodies that come with it. However, they differ in rear camera setups, and of course, price.
