80% Apple iPhone 16E review: An entry-level iPhone that people might actually want
Bron: Hardware Zone EN→NL
With the iPhone 16E, Apple has ushered its most affordable iPhone into a new era. Where the old iPhone SEs were compromised devices, the iPhone 16E offers a more thoughtful and modern blend of performance and features – though this all comes with a higher price tag. But to the iPhone 16E’s credit, it has just about everything most people need, and if you have an older iPhone and want to upgrade to a modern iPhone at the lowest possible price, it is not a bad option at all.

I replaced my iPhone 16 Pro with the 16e for two weeks - here's my buying advice update
Bron: Zdnet.com EN→NL
Overall, it is a solid phone for people willing to forgo some of the bells and whistles of the rest of the iPhone 16 lineup. From my testing, the biggest sacrifice coming from the iPhone 16 Pro was the loss of the ultra-wide and telephoto lenses and advanced photography and videography features. For mostly everything else, the iPhone 16e can hold its own for a $599 handset.

70% I switched to the iPhone 16e to see if it can beat Android's best affordable flagships
Bron: Android Authority EN→NL
Even OnePlus has a worthy rival to the most affordable iPhone in its OnePlus 13R ($599.99 at OnePlus). It might not come out as the first pick in your mind, mainly because OnePlus only sells its phones unlocked, but the 13R is essentially a 2024 flagship set up for 2025. It packs Qualcomm’s powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset under the hood and pairs it with 12GB of RAM — more than any other phone mentioned. OnePlus’s mid-ranger is also the largest at 6.78 inches, packs the fastest wired charging (a very casual 80W), and has a sharp 50MP telephoto sensor for all your zoom needs. Can you tell that Apple’s single-camera setup gets less impressive each time it’s compared to something?

70% iPhone 16e review: the no-frills iPhone ideal for first time users
Bron: Digital Trends EN→NL
If you’ve never experienced an iPhone before and are upgrading to the iPhone 16e from a simpler phone (smartphone or otherwise), you will enjoy the iPhone 16e. It’s the quintessential Apple smartphone experience at a cheaper price, and it offers everything you probably want. The iPhone 16e is a true battery life champion, and if you value longevity over all else, it’s the iPhone to pick. However, there are better iPhones on the market if you take a lot of photos or need snappier performance. You could buy the iPhone 16 or last year’s iPhone 15 Pro series. These are all priced similarly, and they both have significant advantages over the iPhone 16e. The iPhone 16e is the iPhone to pick if you just want the essentials like a good display, solid performance and great battery life. The e doesn’t mean it’s for everyone, but it’s definitely the right phone for someone.

92% iPhone 16e review: The cheaper iPhone that packs a punch
Bron: Gadgetguy EN→NL
The iPhone 16e is for people who want an iPhone without dropping over $1,500. I think the purpose of the 16e is to lure people away from the secondhand market and towards getting a new phone with Apple Intelligence. Given the specs and price point, I think it’ll work. This isn’t a budget phone, and it’s not a true replacement for the iPhone SE (given how much less expensive the SE was, but also how behind its features were). But it’s also not supposed to be. This is the phone for people who want an iPhone, with a long warranty and many years of software updates, but don’t want or need all the bells and whistles. For that audience, the iPhone 16e is perfect.

60% Review: The iPhone 16e is an iPhone for Apple shareholders
Bron: Android Police EN→NL
Is the iPhone 16e a fine-enough phone? Yeah, sure. Buy it for yourself, your teenage kid, your parents or grandparents, and I'm sure they'll be more than satisfied. But at $600, I think it's fair to expect a little more from Apple. Any "budget" device — even one as expensive as this — is going to have to make concessions to hit its price point. It's true on Android, and it's true here as well. With the iPhone 16e, Apple prioritized build quality and processor performance over a more robust camera system or power user favorites like MagSafe, Camera Control, and the Dynamic Island. That might fit your lifestyle — or, considering this is Android Police, the lifestyle of the person you're buying this phone for.

90% iPhone 16e review: Best entry point to the Apple world
Bron: The Indian Express EN→NL
At a starting price of Rs 59,900, the iPhone 16e is a good option for those looking to enter the Apple ecosystem. Compared to the iPhone SE or older iPhones, the iPhone 16e offers such users the ability to be current while buying the new phone and stay relevant for a few years given that the phone has mostly the latest features from Apple. In fact, I would suggest that this is a better phone for many people who end up over-investing in the iPhone tag.

iPhone 16e: A new affordable iPhone, but not without sacrifices
Bron: Calcalistech EN→NL
On one hand, the iPhone 16e fits more seamlessly into Apple's flagship series than its previous budget model, featuring a similar design, identical hardware, and shared capabilities. On the other hand, Apple has deliberately removed some features, likely to create differentiation and prevent it from being too competitive within the lineup. This effectively turns it into a downgraded iPhone, with a particularly noticeable compromise in the camera department. Additionally, while marketed as a budget-friendly iPhone, it is far from cheap. For Apple loyalists unwilling to consider other brands, another cost-effective option is purchasing the previous model.

Worst Phone Of 2025 | iPhone 16e Review

Reviewing Apple's iPhone 16e, the worst phone of 2025. Not merely the worst value phone, but the most horrible smartphone I've had to test this year. The camera tech is basic but okay, the battery life is actually great, but everything else on the iPhone 16e is mostly terrible.

Apple iPhone 16e Review – When Budget Doesn’t Meet the Cut
Bron: Pokde EN→NL
Having a single camera is not a big deal as a lot of people can live with it but with sluggish charging speeds along with the lack of MagSafe support and Dynamic Island, it’s hard to get people to adopt this. One would only consider this if they really want to have a brand new iPhone at the lowest price possible or it’s for school kids and retired folks that won’t need much from an iPhone but for me, you’d be much better off saving up a bit more and getting the iPhone 16 instead.

60% iPhone 16e review: A lopsided mix of lofty peaks and surprising omissions

In many ways the iPhone 16e is astonishingly good, delivering superb speed, good battery life, the latest Apple Intelligence features, and an attractive design at an affordable price. And then you bump into the lack of MagSafe and the single rear camera lens. The only word for it is lopsided, and I’m struggling to see who the iPhone 16e is for.

80% Apple iPhone 16e review: The best value iPhone
Bron: Expert Reviews EN→NL
The Apple iPhone 16e is, as I said at the top of this review, Apple’s best value smartphone. Yes, it misses out on some core features, and yes there’s a good choice of Android phones that are better equipped than it. I’d certainly recommend you at least consider the Google Pixel 8a or its impending replacement before laying down your cash. You’ll get a phone with a higher refresh rate display, equally good battery life and a more flexible array of cameras. However, if you’re desperate for an Apple handset, this is a much better bet than the old SE models and offers superior value for money than the iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Plus.

The iPhone 16e isn’t an exciting iPhone. Does that matter? Not really. For those who want the best iPhone, the iPhone 16 Pro offers flagship features, and the iPhone 16 is a stellar mid-range option. If you’re bemoaning the lack of an ultrawide camera, MagSafe or the Dynamic Island then the iPhone 16e wasn’t ever going to be for you. Spend the extra £200/$200 on the iPhone 16 – you won’t regret it. But for someone coming from the banged-up SE 3 or an iPhone 12 or 13 that feels antiquated with a Lightning port and 12MP camera, then this is a great pick.

80% iPhone 16e review: Apple Intelligence and Visual Intelligence for the win
Bron: India Today EN→NL
Coming back to whom the iPhone 16e makes sense for. Currently, there is a lot of chatter comparing the iPhone 16e with the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Pro whether the latter is a better investment. And I think the comparison is fair. If you want the flagship experience, then yes, the iPhone 15 may make good sense. With bank offers and discounts, you can get the iPhone 15 at an almost similar price point: for about Rs 60,000. But this comparison is not as simple as it seems. With each of these phones you gain some and you lose some. On the iPhone 15 you get the dynamic island, but otherwise, both the 16e and the iPhone 15 offer a similar display ratio and refresh rate. Then on the iPhone 15, you get the old-fashioned toggle aka mute switch, whereas on the iPhone 16e you get a more modern action button.

Bron: T3 EN→NL
When the iPhone 16e was first announced, people questioned why this phone was more expensive than the outgoing SE (3rd generation), but I don’t think that’s the point. The iPhone 16e is a very different beast from the SE. As suggested in the name, this is more of a 16 lite, providing a reduced set of features but still very much part of the current range. What this phone does, it does very well. It feels great in the hand, thanks to the superb build quality, and it's a very pleasing size – both to hold and for the screen. The addition of Face ID, the Action button and the high-resolution screen make it easy to access, while the power of the A18 chip means it’s ready for everything from video editing to gaming.

The iPhone 16e is a solid smartphone - it offers Apple's iconic design, now made cleaner than ever, durable as always, and, well, just beautiful. The 16e is also one of the most compact and lightweight modern smartphones on the market. And it costs under $799/€800, which translates to affordable in Apple's world. But it is not the next iPhone SE or an iPhone mini successor. This alone would be a big turn-off for many customers (some of our team members included) who were expecting a new mini iPhone even if it wasn't meant to be as affordable as before. The iPhone 16e being a recycled iPhone 13 with scrapped iPhone 16 chips is surely not helping its case, especially at that price.

Would I buy the iPhone 16e? Definitely not. I don't necessarily need the best of the best all the time, but I'd miss the Dynamic Island and I'm not fond of the sizable bezels. There are other factors, too, like the lack of a higher refresh rate display, and I've grown very fond of playing around with Photographic Styles. I'm clearly not the iPhone 16e's audience, though. This phone is for people that need a new iPhone and are currently on the iPhone 13, iPhone 14, or maybe the iPhone SE, who don't want to shell out the money for the pricey iPhone 16. In fact, I'd argue that the iPhone 16e will actually cannibalize the iPhone 16's sales. It offers all the features that matter to the average person, alongside a cheaper price tag.

Should you spend $100 more, and get the iPhone 15? Again, it's a matter of compromises: a second, ultra-wide camera but an older, A16 Bionic chipset; the useful Dynamic Island, but no Apple Intelligence; MagSafe support, but shorter battery life compared to the iPhone 16e. I can't say I agree with Apple, that the AI is a big enough selling point on its own, and I wish Ultra WideBand — for precise AirTag location — had made it to the 16e's spec sheet. I also think it's far too easy to dismiss these $100 increments, particularly if you're not used to considering things from a strict budgeting perspective.

I tested the new $599 iPhone 16e to see if it’s truly a good value
Bron: CNN underscored EN→NL
The iPhone 16e is an incredible value at $599. It’s as fast and future-proof as any modern flagship phone, it takes great photos and it somehow lasts even longer on a charge than the regular iPhone 16 that costs $200 more. If you’re getting your first iPhone, buying one for a kid or upgrading from a really old model — I’m talking iPhone 11 or older — you’ll be absolutely delighted by what this thing does for just shy of 600 bucks. That said, the evolution of Apple’s entry-level phone comes with some growing pains, and it isn’t necessarily the best low-cost iPhone for everyone. Folks who love the smaller 4.7-inch screen and Touch ID button on their iPhone SE will have to either adapt to the modern 6.1-inch iPhone design or cling to their current device for a bit longer.

80% Apple iPhone 16e review: Win some, lose some
Bron: BGR EN→NL
At the beginning of this review, I called the iPhone 16e a kind of spiritual successor to the iPhone SE. Ultimately, however, that’s a bit of an oversimplification. To be clear, the iPhone 16e is the new “budget iPhone” — but it’s not as budget as the iPhone SE. That’s a bummer, but it also leaves the door open for a fourth-generation iPhone SE, should Apple choose to release one. Some of the trade-offs you make for the cheaper iPhone make sense compared to the iPhone 16. It makes sense to lose a camera and the Camera Control. It makes sense to have a slightly older display. And, it makes sense to have a slightly older design with a notch. Other changes, like the lack of MagSafe, make no sense to me. Apple is all about that ecosystem — and not including MagSafe represents a jarring break in the ecosystem that limits the accessories people can actually use with their phones.

80% iPhone 16e: Lightweight power in a beautiful package [Review]
Bron: Cult of Mac EN→NL
From its announcement, I wasn’t expecting to love the iPhone 16e as much as I do. It’s beautiful, it feels great in the hand, and it seems perfectly modern. I think this will be a great phone to hold down the bottom of the iPhone lineup for years to come. It’s a shame Apple couldn’t sell it at a lower price and left out MagSafe, but at least the latter is easily remedied. Personally, I’m excited for Apple to apply the learnings of the iPhone 16e to its Pro line of phones. Aluminum is so much lighter and feels nicer; stainless steel and titanium were always marketing gimmicks that made the phone heavier and worse. The camera being out of the way in the corner makes it easier to hold. I’m not in the market for a budget phone. But I’m glad that the people who are will be getting something great with the iPhone 16e.

I bought the original iPhone SE because it offered top-notch performance at a fraction of the cost of Apple's flagship. You still get outstanding performance out of the iPhone 16e, but now it costs more to own the cheapest iPhone — and the decision is made tougher knowing that the iPhone 16 offers extra utility for just $200 more.

This is why I think of the iPhone 16e as a new breed of iPhone because it takes some of the best parts about a modern iPhone, offering them at slightly lower cost. If you’re willing to settle for those missing features — namely MagSafe, Dynamic Island, ultrawide camera, and all the extra video features — the iPhone 16e is an excellent choice.

Apple iPhone 16e First Impressions: The budget gateway into Apple Intelligence
Bron: Tech2.in.com EN→NL
There’s no doubt that the iPhone 16e is a solid phone — it functions well, fits neatly into Apple’s lineup, and brings some impressive features. But the way Apple has priced it makes things tricky. At Rs 59,900, it’s positioned as the most affordable iPhone to support Apple Intelligence, powered by the A18 chip. For anyone deep in Apple’s ecosystem, that’s a big deal. However, Apple has clearly cut some corners to keep it in this price bracket. It lacks multiple rear cameras, Dynamic Island, and some of the premium features found on pricier iPhones. In a market like India, where value-for-money is king, that puts the iPhone 16e in a tough spot. If you’re looking for an iPhone on a budget, this one does the job. But at this price, older iPhone models or even flagship Android phones offer better hardware and versatility, especially if you’re interested in Apple’s ecosystem or Apple Intelligence. If, however, you’re keen on it, it’s a completely different conversation.

Bron: Hardware Zone EN→NL
Apple’s most affordable iPhone has finally gotten its much-needed update. Not only does it have a more contemporary design and upgraded internals, but it also gets a new name. It’s called the iPhone 16E. You can make your own guesses as to what the “E” stands for, but it’s obvious that Apple wants you to think of it as an extension of the iPhone 16 lineup. Crucially, Apple’s recipe for a cheaper iPhone hasn’t changed: keep the essentials and trim the fat. So in the case of the iPhone 16E, have they taken too much off to lower its price, or have they got the balance right? Let us dig deeper to find out.

Apple iPhone 16e Smartphone Review
Bron: OI Spice Tech News EN→NL
The Apple iPhone 16e has everything that the SE models lack. For example, a larger display, long-lasting battery life, a powerful processor, and the latest features. To a certain extent, the phone got to give close competition to last year’s iPhone 15. But it doesn’t mean that the phone didn’t have any flaws. For example, you won’t receive dynamic range photography. The device didn’t have a higher refresh rate, a big camera notch, no dynamic island, and so on. Undoubtedly, this is the most basic phone that Apple released in 2025. But the price point is still quite high. If you can wait for a couple of months, you might notice some price drops. But if you want a phone right now, then consider getting the iPhone 15. It has overall better camera features with a slight downgrade in performance.

The iPhone 16e sees Apple moving its lowest-cost phone upmarket. Priced about midway between the discontinued iPhone SE and the iPhone 16, it isn't the "budget iPhone" many expected. Instead, the iPhone 16e is a capable new entry point that sets the stage for big changes in the iPhone's future. For $599, you get a well-made piece of hardware with strong performance and all the Apple Intelligence features of pricier models. In addition, Apple's C1 modem ensures fast 5G and accurate location services while introducing new efficiencies that contribute to battery life that beats the iPhone 16. As good as the iPhone 16e is, the iPhone 16's faster 5G and Wi-Fi, brighter screen, and feature-rich wide-angle camera give it the edge, so it remains our Editors' Choice as the best iPhone for most buyers.

But for people who don’t use magnetic accessories or who finance their smartphones over a two-year period, those might be non-issues. What bothered me most as I was reviewing the iPhone 16e wasn’t its slow wireless charging speed or the notch atop the display — it was ultimately the solo camera sensor. Anyone coming from the iPhone 11 and up will likely miss the ultrawide option, even if the iPhone 16e’s 48MP sensor is a genuine improvement. Whether the iPhone 16e is a good purchase for you ultimately depends on how much those limitations bother you. If you don’t care about MagSafe, taking photos or the principle that you could save hundreds of dollars on a better Android phone, the iPhone 16e makes sense.

80% iPhone 16e review: Apple just gave you a very tough choice to make
Bron: Macworld.co.uk EN→NL
Apple's new iPhone 16e should definitely not be ignored. This is a great smartphone that packs quite a punch for a much cheaper price than its siblings. No, it doesn't get all of the features found on the iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Pro but if things such as Camera Control and MagSafe don't really bother you then this is a solid device to consider. What you do get is a beautifully made phone that is built for the future and the next generation of Apple Intelligence updates. There's no question that the iPhone 16 line-up is now one of the best and most expansive Apple has ever introduced, but it also makes choosing the right model tougher than ever. You can't go wrong with any of these iPhone models and the iPhone 16e's lower price makes it seriously tempting. Just be aware that its lower cost means fewer features. You'll need to decide what really matters to you and what compromises you are prepared to make.

80% Apple iPhone 16e review: Battery life king
Bron: Mashable EN→NL
The iPhone 16e marks a big change in direction for Apple. The company does not sell any phones cheaper than $599 right now, making the barrier to entry for its ecosystem a lot higher than before. That said, the iPhone 16e is an excellent phone. It looks good, has all the niceties of a modern iPhone, including a big, OLED display and a modern, 48-megapixel camera. It actually beats other phones in the lineup in several ways; it’s the lightest new iPhone you can buy, and it has excellent battery life. It performs just as well as the iPhone 16, and fully supports Apple Intelligence. It doesn’t have MagSafe, which is a shame, but not everyone will care. Most people who want a no-nonsense iPhone for the least amount of money won’t mind the other omissions, either, such as the lack of Dynamic Island.

80% I tested the iPhone 16e for a week and found it's a good phone that stretches the definition of 'budget'
Bron: Techradar EN→NL
Forget the iPhone SE; the iPhone 16e represents a whole new class of affordable iPhone. It has an excellent screen, powerful performance, a cutting-edge CPU with Apple Intelligence, and even an all-new C1 modem chip. It's also a bit of a frustrating conundrum. Apple has raised the price to the point where it's almost out of budget range, but it hasn't added a second camera, and it's brought back the notch. Ultimately, this is another great iPhone – but it may not be the best choice if you're looking for a 'budget' phone.

80% iPhone 16e Review: Worth the Price or Too Many Compromises?
Bron: Nextpit EN EN→NL
The iPhone 16e is a really good entry-level iPhone for anyone who is new to the Apple ecosystem or wants to upgrade from an older iPhone model (iPhone 14 or older). It comes with Apple Intelligence, an incredibly long battery life and the A18 chip—making it a future-proof iPhone for the coming years. However, there are also compromises: The lack of MagSafe restricts the use of accessories, the lack of an ultra-wide-angle lens is noticeable in the camera, and savings were made on features such as UWB and Wi-Fi 7. It's also worth taking a look at the iPhone 15, which is often cheaper and doesn't make any compromises in some areas (e.g. display)—but then comes without Apple Intelligence on board. However, if you want the latest Apple features and top battery life, the iPhone 16e is a smart choice—even if you have to make compromises here and there.

70% iPhone 16E review: Eh, it’s alright
Bron: The Verge EN→NL
This is the world the iPhone 16E enters. It’s Apple’s cheapest phone, but it’s not cheap — probably for the aforementioned “lack of competition” reasons. It’s an iPhone that does iPhone things, but it’s probably missing at least one major feature for any given buyer, whether that’s an extra camera or the convenience of a MagSafe ring. If you’re clinging desperately to an older model and want a new iPhone for the least possible money, the 16E is the one to get.

The new iPhone 16e is now the cheapest new iPhone you can get among the best iPhone options, with the latest A18 processor, Apple Intelligence features, and Apple's new C1 modem. However, it gets a higher $599 starting cost and comparing the iPhone 16e vs. iPhone 16, it doesn't come with features like MagSafe wireless charging and Dynamic Island. In this video, John V. will take you through the key reasons to buy or skip based on his full iPhone 16e review.

iPhone 16e Review: Excellent, efficient, expensive
Bron: Mobile Syrup EN→NL
In an ideal world, we’d see Apple keep the 16 and the 16e in the lineup for a few years, letting the cost drop a couple hundred dollars to bring back some actual entry-level iPhone pricing with devices that support Apple Intelligence, but it’s too soon to tell. At this point, Apple is aiming to make sure a majority of its products can support AI, and that means we’ll need to wait and see where the prices end up in a few years. The iPhone 16e retails for $899 outright, but it can be bought at a cheaper price from a variety of Canadian carriers. The phone is up for pre-orders and will be fully available on February 28. It comes in black or white.

Apple iPhone 16e: At last a meaningful upgrade for the iPhone SE, but it’s pricey
Bron: Expert Reviews EN→NL
Despite the gripes, I must say I like the look of the Apple iPhone 16e. Apple has finally updated the design, it has better battery life, a more modern camera, a faster processor, plus more RAM and storage. The only problem is that as well as a massive overhaul, the iPhone 16e is also a lot more expensive than the previous model, with prices starting at £599 for the 128GB phone, rising £100 for the 256GB model and another £100 for the 512GB phone. With rivals such as the Pixel 8a starting at £499, that’s a bit of an ask. We’ll be reviewing the latest addition to the “iPhone family” just as soon as we can get our hands on one, so watch this space to find out if the phone is everything it promises to be.

Commentaar

Apple A18 GPU: De Apple A18 GPU bevat vijf kernen, hardware ray tracing en mesh-ondersteuning. Apple stelt dat de A18 GPU tot 40% sneller is dan de A16 GPU in de iPhone 15. In onze benchmarks bevindt de grafische eenheid zich tussen de oude A16 GPU en de A17 Pro GPU met 6 kernen.

Deze grafische kaarten zouden alle huidige spellen moeten kunnen draaien, maar de meeste spellen zullen alleen met gemiddelde of lage detail instellingen en lage resoluties goed werken. Oudere of minder veeleisende spellen kunnen nog wel met goede grafische instellingen gespeeld worden.

>> Meer informatie kan gevonden worden in ons Vergelijk van Mobiele Grafische Kaarten en de passende Benchmark Tabel.

A18: Een krachtige smartphone-processor en formele opvolger van de A16 SoC. Dit nieuwe lid van de Apple A processorreeks heeft 2 prestatie-kernen en 4 efficiënte kernen, samen met een 35 TOPS NPU en de 5-kernige A18 GPU. Multi-threaded benchmarks plaatsen hem in dezelfde buurt als de Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 en de Dimensity 9300.
>> Meer informatie kan gevonden worden in ons Vergelijk van Mobiele Processors.

6.10": Er bestaan maar weinig smartphones met een groter scherm.

Grote schermformaten laten hogere resoluties toe. Details zoals letters zijn groter. Anderzijds is het energieverbruik lager bij kleine schermdiagonalen en de toestellen zijn kleiner, lichter en goedkoper.
>>Om de fijnheid van het scherm te vinden, kijk in onze DPI-lijst.

78.78%: Dit cijfer is niet echt overtuigend. Het moet in acht worden genomen dat er bijna geen laptops zijn die een score onder de 60% hebben. Dit notebook is beneden gemiddeld beoordeeld, en is niet aanbevolen te kopen.

>> De verdere informatie kan worden gevonden in onze hulp voor de aankoop van laptops.
