What Customers Say

Owners enjoyed the iPhone 16e's compact and minimalist design, coupled with robust performance from its efficient chip that handles AI features smoothly, and reliable battery life that outshines some pricier models. The high-quality build and capable main camera for everyday shots were positives, offering good value at its entry-level price. That said, the lack of a telephoto lens, slower refresh rate, and ineffective AI tools like image generation drew ire, along with limited storage options and sluggish charging. On balance, it suits those upgrading from older devices for a straightforward Apple experience, though it may underwhelm power users expecting more advanced capabilities.
