Design & Screen

The iPhone 16e packs a gorgeous 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display, giving you rich colours and deep contrast on its all-screen OLED panel. Whether you're watching videos, gaming, or just scrolling, everything looks super sharp and vibrant. With HDR support and True Tone colours feel more natural and lifelike. Brightness isn’t an issue either—it hits 800 nits normally and 1,200 nits for HDR content, so you’ll have great visibility indoors and outdoors. Plus, the fingerprint-resistant coating keeps smudges away, and Display Zoom and Reachability make using it more convenient. In short, the iPhone 16e’s display is crisp, colourful, and easy to use.

Features & Performance

Powering the iPhone 16e is the new A18 Bionic chip, built with second-gen 3nm technology for serious speed and efficiency. It’s got a 6-core CPU that’s 30% faster than the iPhone 15, meaning it flies through demanding tasks like gaming, video editing, and multitasking.

Apple has also stepped up its AI game with Apple Intelligence, blending on-device processing with cloud computing that keeps your data private. This means smarter writing tools, letting you rewrite notes, tweak tone, and proofread on the go. Siri is now more natural and personal, and you can even create custom emojis by just typing a description. Searching for photos and videos? Just type what you're looking for, and your iPhone will find it instantly.

For safety, the iPhone 16e includes Emergency SOS features, such as live video sharing with health services and satellite messaging for when you're off the grid. Whether it’s performance or security, this iPhone has you covered.

Camera

The iPhone 16e’s upgraded camera system takes mobile photography to the next level. It features a 48MP Fusion main camera paired with a 12MP 2x telephoto lens, giving you versatility for any shot. The 26mm main lens uses Hybrid Focus Pixels for sharp, detailed photos even in low light, and you can shoot in 24MP or full 48MP resolution for next-level clarity. The 12MP 2x telephoto lens is perfect for zooming in without losing quality.

Apple’s Photonic Engine, Deep Fusion, and Smart HDR 5 work behind the scenes to enhance colour, contrast, and detail, making every shot look pro-level. Portrait Mode now has Depth Control and six lighting effects. The lens cover keeps your camera scratch-resistant, and features like True Tone flash, red-eye correction, and burst mode make it even more powerful.

On the video side, Apple has improved audio quality, cutting out wind noise so your videos sound clearer. Plus, the new iOS 18 Photos app makes organizing and finding your pics super easy, grouping them by trips, seasons, and events. The iPhone 16e makes capturing and reliving memories better than ever.
