Everyone Can Afford The iPhone 16e, But Here’s What It Lacks
February 24, 2025 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News
The news was recently reported by us. The genuine Apple iPhone 16e costs only $599. However, you should be mindful of what you can lose if you purchase the iPhone 16e. Some are readily apparent, and a cursory examination of the device will reveal the functionalities that are lacking. When compared to the other members of the family, the iPhone 16e’s interior features are severely missing.
Similar to how Apple didn’t provide a description for the “SE” designation in earlier iterations, the Phone 16e also lacked one for the letter “e.” Is it “essential” or “economical”? An Apple representative who was questioned about the new name gave us a hint, but we might never know. “The iPhone 16e is for everyone,” he said exactly.
Given its $600 price tag, we suppose the iPhone 16e is for everyone. It is undoubtedly cost-effective enough for even underdeveloped nations. Ironically, though, there is a price associated with the lower pricing. In addition to lacking a separate ultrawide or telephoto lens, we discover that the 16e with a single rear-facing camera has limited utility.
You won’t be able to use Cinematic or Action mode while recording on the iPhone 16e. This might be a deal breaker for those who are interested in the iPhone’s ultra-stable action footage or video bokeh effect. For the time being, only Apple’s high-end phones have such options. These new capabilities are reflected in the pricing of the most recent iPhone, making it a more costly but sophisticated choice.
The iPhone 16 series featured a new function called photographic styles. Unfortunately, this new iPhone 16e does not have them either. The iPhone 16e at least retains Apple’s previous style filters, but you can’t adjust your images with higher contrast or deeper shadows like the other siblings.
It’s not quite accurate to say that the iPhone 16e’s touted Apple A18 processor is as powerful as the other 16 models. Because the 16e only has four cores rather than the original A18 chip’s five, its GPU isn’t as strong. However, the CPU speeds were maintained if you are simply concerned with ordinary use and are not concerned with gaming.
Regarding the screen, the iPhone 16e’s 6.1″ OLED XDR Super Retina display is comparable to the iPhone 16. But when comparing numbers directly, the panel doesn’t grow much brighter or dimmer. Additionally, the iPhone 16e lacks the Dynamic Island, although because it substitutes the iPhone SE’s far worse top-bottom bar, this isn’t a major issue.
Though innovative, Apple’s in-house C1 modem for the iPhone 16e is not as good as the modem for the iPhone 16 or 16 Pro. The 16e’s reduction from WiFi 7 to WiFi 6 is most likely due to the C1 chip. Although the chip’s full potential is unknown, the iPhone 16e may not include WiFi 7 as a cost-cutting measure.
The ultra-wideband UWB chip, which often aids previous iPhone models in locating an Apple Air tag, is even absent from the iPhone 16e. Additionally, new functions like wireless contact exchange are lost when a chip is lost. Although it’s not a deal-breaker, you should be aware of the iPhone 16e’s shortcomings.
To this extensive list of lacking functionality, add the inability to support Thread. The iPhone 16e lacks the protocol needed to communicate with Internet of Things devices, such as smart lights, locks, and thermostats. You may thus need to figure out a workaround for your iPhone 16e.
Because the iPhone 16e lacks hardware, some of these capabilities are not available. Some may get better in the future since they are software-bound. The consumer must ultimately determine if the $600 cost of the iPhone 16e outweighs the loss of these functionalities. This list of features that are lacking should hopefully help you make a decision.
