iPhone 16e review: Apple’s entry-level phone is held back by premium price


Though it shares a name with the higher-end iPhone 16 and 16 Pro, the 16e has a simplified, more utilitarian design, available in black or white. — Apple

With a starting price of US$599 (RM2,999 locally), Apple Inc’s iPhone 16e is hardly a budget phone.

This new handset replaces the US$429 (RM2,199 locally) iPhone SE as the cheapest phone in Apple’s lineup.

So it’s neither cheap nor a full-fat iPhone. Who is it for?
