6.1" Super Retina XDR display

Stunning. It runs in the family.

With the same great contrast ratio as iPhone 16, the brilliant edge‑to‑edge OLED display on iPhone 16e is perfect for watching shows, playing games, or reading.

A18 chip

Future-proof your fast.

iPhone 16e has the latest‑generation chip, making everything from scrolling through photos to watching movies run fast and smooth. It’s built for Apple Intelligence. And with the 4‑core GPU, even the most demanding mobile games play effortlessly and come to life through blazing‑fast graphics.

Built for Apple Intelligence

iPhone 16e is built for Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system that helps you write, express yourself, and get things done effortlessly. Create your own emoji, edit a photo with Clean Up, and more. With groundbreaking privacy protections, it gives you peace of mind that no one else can access your data — not even Apple.

iOS and apps

Make it yours. For years to come.

When you use an iPhone, you’re using the incredibly intuitive and reliable iOS that gives you seamless ways to share photos and files, connect with friends and family, and more. With iOS 18, you can customize your iPhone Home Screen and Lock Screen. And the powerful A18 chip provides an extraordinary iOS experience — as well as ensuring that your iPhone 16e will be ready for future updates.

48 MP Fusion camera

A camera so advanced, it’s like getting two in one.

The redesigned 48 MP Fusion camera has the capabilities of two cameras in one. The 48 MP sensor allows for up to 4x the resolution of older iPhone models — so you can capture stunning super‑high‑resolution images that balance both light and detail. The integrated 2x telephoto lets you zoom in with optical quality. Plus, you can shoot incredible 4K video in Dolby Vision with high-quality audio that makes it sound as good as it looks.

iPhone 16e has the same great resolution as all iPhone 16 models.

Your photos and videos look amazing.

Connectivity

Peace of mind is built right in.

iPhone 16e comes with Wi‑Fi, 5G connectivity, and eSIM. This means your calls are clear, your connections are superfast, and activating or adding a cellular plan digitally is easy and secure. With features like Crash Detection, iPhone 16e helps you get the emergency assistance you need when it counts the most.

Great powers come with great privacy.

Apple Intelligence is designed to protect your privacy at every step. It’s integrated into the core of iPhone through on‑device processing. So it’s aware of your personal information without collecting your personal information. And with groundbreaking Private Cloud Compute, Apple Intelligence can draw on larger Apple‑designed server‑based models, running on Apple silicon, to handle more complex requests for you while protecting your privacy.
