Overview

The Apple iPhone 16e takes everything you love about the SE series and brings it into the modern era. Available to buy alongside a pay monthly contract or SIM-free, the iPhone 16e combines premium features with an affordable price point, and is packed with major upgrades over the iPhone SE 3 (2022), offering a more powerful, stylish and feature-heavy experience.

With a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display, the iPhone 16e is a huge step up from the 4.7-inch LCD on the iPhone SE 3. Playing games, watching videos, and even carrying out simple everyday emails feel effortless and immersive, made brighter and sharper still with the spectacular 1,200 nits peak brightness available.

Under the hood, the A18 Bionic chip with 4-core GPU delivers blazing-fast performance, for smoother multitasking and seamless AI-powered features; like other family members in the iPhone 16 series, the iPhone 16e is built with Apple Intelligence, operating on iOS 18.

The 48MP main camera is a huge jump from the 12MP sensor on the iPhone SE 3, capturing stunningly detailed shots. Apple Intelligence comes into its own here, too, with shooting capabilities including True Tone flash, Deep Fusion and Night Mode taking your snaps up a notch, even before you get to the impressive editing suite.

Practical and pocket-sized, the iPhone 16e’s aluminium design measures in at 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.8 mm, and is shielded with durable glass back and Ceramic Shield front. The handset is further protected by IP68 water resistance, which can withstand dust, splashes and water, so you’ll get away scot-free if your phone takes an accidental dip while you’re washing up.

Additional features such as dual SIM and e-SIM compatibility take the iPhone 16e to the next level whether you’re travelling or switching between work and personal calls You don’t need to worry about running out of charge, either; the powerful battery provides up to 26 hours of video playback and fast-charge capabilities.
