Apple has launched its latest and most affordable iPhone, the iPhone 16e, in India.
The phone was officially introduced on February 19, with pre-orders starting from February 21.
It comes with many impressive features, including a powerful chipset and an action button.
However, there is one major factor that might discourage buyers. Let’s take a look at the reasons why you should or shouldn’t buy the iPhone 16e.
Reasons to Buy the iPhone 16e
Modern Design with Improved Display
Apple has given the iPhone 16e a fresh and modern look. The phone features a 6.1-inch full display, replacing the thick bezels and the home button found in older models.
Instead of Touch ID, it now comes with Face ID for better security. It also has an aluminum frame for a premium feel and an IP67 rating, making it resistant to dust and water.
Powerful A18 Chipset for Smooth Performance
The iPhone 16e is powered by Apple’s A18 chipset, the same processor used in the iPhone 16 series.
With 8GB RAM and a 4-core GPU, it can handle heavy gaming and multitasking with ease.
Apple also claims impressive battery life, offering 26 hours of video playback and 90 hours of audio playback.
Apple Intelligence Features
One of the biggest highlights of the iPhone 16e is its Apple Intelligence capabilities. The phone is designed to fully support AI-powered features that enhance user experience.
It even includes ChatGPT integration within Siri and writing tools, allowing users to get answers to complex questions quickly.
Convenient Action Button
Like the rest of the iPhone 16 lineup, the iPhone 16e comes with an action button. This button provides quick access to various features such as the camera, flashlight,
and visual intelligence tools. It makes the phone more convenient and user-friendly.
Why Some People May Avoid the iPhone 16e
Despite its modern design and powerful features, the biggest drawback of the iPhone 16e is its price.
Before its launch, many expected it to be priced under ₹50,000, but Apple has set its starting price at ₹59,900.
Some buyers feel that by spending a little more, they can get the iPhone 16, which offers even better features.
As a result, the high price might discourage some people from choosing the iPhone 16e.
