    Apple iPhone 16e Review

    The iPhone 16e is a bizarre release by Apple that carries the same design as the iPhone 14. It adds the action button, USB Type C charging port, a bigger battery, and the latest processor, but only features a single camera at the back. There is also no MagSafe and a notch display stuck at 60 Hz. So, as you can see, it has too many drawbacks, which are not worth its high asking price.

    Pros

    • Robust and premium build
    • Long battery life
    • Capable performance
    • Supports Apple Intelligence
    • Main camera takes decent photos

    Cons

    • Notch style display
    • 60 Hz refresh rate
    • No ultrawide camera
    • No MagSafe support
    • Overpriced for what it offers
