iPhone 16e Review: Who Are You? – Marques Brownlee

Apple has introduced the iPhone 16e, but who is this phone really for? 🤔 If you check Apple’s comparison tool, you’ll notice that it’s only being stacked against iPhone 11, iPhone 12, and SE models. That means Apple is targeting users with older iPhones who are looking for an affordable upgrade—but does it truly deliver?

🔍 iPhone 16e: Key Features & Upgrades

✔️ Modern Design: A more refined look compared to older models.
✔️ New Chipset: Faster performance and better efficiency.
✔️ Apple Intelligence: Access to the latest AI-powered features.
✔️ Improved Battery Life: Optimized for longer usage.

However, the biggest question remains: Does the price justify the phone? 💰 Many tech reviewers feel that while the hardware is decent, the price tag is a bit too high for what it offers.

📢 Who Should Buy the iPhone 16e?

✅ If you own an iPhone 11, 12, or an older SE model and want an upgrade without paying for a flagship.
✅ If you want Apple’s latest AI features without splurging on the iPhone 16 Pro series.
❌ If you already have an iPhone 13 or newer, this might not be worth it.
