FAQs

When was the release date for iPhone 16e?

iPhone 16e was announced on 19 February 2025, and the official release date was on 28 February 2025. It's available to buy now at O2.

What are iPhone 16e specs?

iPhone 16e has arrived and it's better than ever.

Dive into the action with the 6.1-inch OLED Super Retina XDR display that catches every detail and delivers vibrant colours. Inside its sleek design, iPhone 16e runs on the unstoppable A18 Bionic chip for flagship standard performance. With support for Apple Intelligence, this iPhone ensures a faster, smarter, and more intuitive experience.

Looking to capture some seriously epic shots? Enjoy the advanced 48MP Fusion camera, offering better low-light performance and sharper detail. Plus, the crisp integrated 2x Telephoto lens gives you optical quality zoom for a professional edge to your photos.

Built for USB-C, charging and connectivity is now more convenient than ever. And, with a IP68 water and dust resistance, it’s built to handle everyday life with ease.

iPhone 16e is the perfect upgrade for anyone who wants unstoppable performance and impressive features that hit the mark every time.

Does iPhone 16e use Apple Intelligence?

Unlock limitless potential with iPhone 16e's Apple Intelligence features. Packed with incredible tools to upgrade your every life, iPhone is now even more powerful.

Use tools like Clean Up to easily banish unwanted background elements. Or, use natural language search to find any photo just by using your own description.

Image Playground lets you create Genmoji so every interaction is unique. And sharpen your skills with Writing Tools to take your work to the next level. The options are endless with Apple Intelligence.

What's the difference between iPhone 16e vs iPhone SE 2022?

iPhone 16e brings major upgrades over iPhone SE 3rd Generation, bringing a fresh new design and more powerful features.

The newer SE is built with a 6.1-inch OLED Super XDR display replacing the 4.7-inch LCD display on the previous model for a brighter, more immersive experience. Plus, Face ID finally makes its way to the SE lineup, moving away from the home button and Touch ID.

Performance gets a serious boost too. The A18 Bionic chip delivers faster speeds and better efficiency, compared to the A15 chip in iPhone SE 3rd Generation. This also means support for Apple Intelligence, making everyday tasks smarter and smoother.

Camera system is also a big step up, with a 48MP Fusion camera compared to the previous 12MP, bringing finer details and better performance in low-light conditions. The front camera now has TrueDepth with autofocus for crisp close-up shots, replacing the 7MP fixed-focus camera - perfect for selfies and video calls.

iPhone 16e has switched to USB-C instead of Lightning, making charging and connectivity faster and easier. Enjoy a longer battery life too, thanks to the more efficient processing chip.

While iPhone SE 3rd Generation still offers solid performance, iPhone 16e brings a flagship experience to the lineup.

How big is the screen size on iPhone 16e?

Size up with iPhone 16e's immersive 6.1-inch OLED Super Retina XDR display. With a beautifully immersive edge-to-edge design and vibrant, true to life colours that bring you closer to the action.
