Apple debuts iPhone 16e: A powerful new member of the iPhone 16 family
iPhone 16e joins the iPhone 16 lineup, featuring the fast performance of 
the A18 chip, Apple Intelligence, extraordinary battery life, and a 48MP 
2-in-1 camera system — all at an incredible value

Introducing iPhone 16e, the most affordable member of the iPhone 16 family.

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA Apple today announced iPhone 16e, a new addition 
to the iPhone 16 lineup that offers powerful capabilities at a more 
affordable price. iPhone 16e delivers fast, smooth performance and 
breakthrough battery life, thanks to the industry-leading efficiency of 
the A18 chip and the new Apple C1, the first cellular modem designed by 
Apple. iPhone 16e is also built for Apple Intelligence, the intuitive 
personal intelligence system that delivers helpful and relevant 
intelligence while taking an extraordinary step forward for privacy in 
AI. The 48MP Fusion camera takes gorgeous photos and videos, and with an 
integrated 2x Telephoto, it is like having two cameras in one, so users 
can zoom in with optical quality. When outside of cellular and Wi-Fi 
coverage, Apple’s groundbreaking satellite features — including 
Emergency SOS, Roadside Assistance, Messages, and Find My via satellite 
— help iPhone 16e users stay connected and get assistance when it 
matters most.
iPhone 16e will be available in two elegant matte finishes — black and 
white — with colorful cases available to accessorize. Pre-orders begin 
Friday, February 21, with availability beginning Friday, February 28.
“iPhone 16e packs in the features our users love about the iPhone 16 
lineup, including breakthrough battery life, fast performance powered by 
the latest-generation A18 chip, an innovative 2-in-1 camera system, and 
Apple Intelligence,” said Kaiann Drance, Apple’s vice president of 
Worldwide iPhone Product Marketing. “We’re so excited for iPhone 16e to 
complete the lineup as a powerful, more affordable option to bring the 
iPhone experience to even more people.”

Available in a popular 6.1-inch display size, iPhone 16e features 
breakthrough battery life, fast performance, a 48MP 2-in-1 camera 
system, and a beautiful, durable design.
A Beautiful and Durable Design with Breakthrough Battery Life

iPhone 16e is built to last, featuring splash, water, and dust 
resistance with a rating of IP68; the Ceramic Shield front cover with an 
advanced formulation that is tougher than any smartphone glass; and the 
toughest back glass in a smartphone. The 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR 
display with OLED technology has an edge-to-edge design that is perfect 
for watching HDR videos, playing games, and reading crisp text. iPhone 
16e has the best battery life ever on a 6.1-inch iPhone, lasting up to 
six hours longer than iPhone 11 and up to 12 hours longer than all 
generations of iPhone SE. And with Face ID enabled by the TrueDepth 
camera system, users can securely unlock their iPhone, authenticate 
purchases, sign in to apps, and more. iPhone 16e also offers convenient 
charging options, including both wireless charging and USB-C for easy 
connection to a wide range of accessories.

Performance and Connectivity

iPhone 16e is powered by Apple’s latest-generation A18 chip, which 
enables fast, smooth performance, incredible power efficiency, and Apple 
Intelligence. The 6-core CPU is up to 80 percent faster than the A13 
Bionic chip on iPhone 11, handling both everyday and intensive tasks 
with ease — from simple workloads, to more demanding actions with Apple 
Intelligence. The 4-core GPU powers stunning graphics performance and 
unlocks next-level mobile gaming on the go, enabling graphically 
demanding AAA titles and hardware-accelerated ray tracing for more 
realistic lighting and reflections. The 16-core Neural Engine is 
optimized for large generative models and runs machine learning (ML) 
models up to 6x faster than A13 Bionic.

next-level mobile gaming in titles like Infinity Nikki.
Expanding the benefits of Apple silicon, C1 is the first modem designed 
by Apple and the most power-efficient modem ever on an iPhone, 
delivering fast and reliable 5G cellular connectivity. Apple silicon — 
including C1 — the all-new internal design, and the advanced power 
management of iOS 18 all contribute to extraordinary battery life.
Built for Apple Intelligence

iPhone 16e is built for Apple Intelligence, unlocking exciting new 
capabilities that make iPhone even more helpful and powerful. With the 
Clean Up tool, it’s easy to remove distracting elements in images, and 
natural language search in the Photos app allows users to search for 
just about any photo or video by simply describing what they are looking 
for.

remove distractions from an image.
Users can also explore creative new ways to express themselves visually 
with Image Playground, create the perfect emoji with Genmoji, and make 
their writing even more dynamic with Writing Tools. They can now type to 
Siri, and Siri is more conversational with the ability to follow along 
if users stumble over their words. Siri can also maintain context from 
one request to the next. With extensive product knowledge, Siri can 
answer thousands of questions about the features and settings of Apple 
products, so users can learn how to do things like take a screen 
recording or schedule a text message to send later.

With access to ChatGPT seamlessly integrated into Writing Tools and 
Siri, users can choose to access ChatGPT’s expertise without jumping 
between applications, so they can get things done faster and easier than 
ever before. In addition, users can access ChatGPT for free without 
creating an account, and privacy protections are built in — their IP 
addresses are obscured and OpenAI won’t store requests. Users can choose 
whether to enable ChatGPT integration, and are in full control of when 
to use it and what information is shared with ChatGPT.

Apple Intelligence marks an extraordinary step forward for privacy in AI 
and is designed to protect users’ privacy at every step. It starts with 
on-device processing, meaning that many of the models that power Apple 
Inteligence run entirely on device. For requests that require access to 
larger models, Apple’s groundbreaking Private Cloud Compute extends the 
privacy and security of iPhone into the cloud to unlock even more 
intelligence. When using Private Cloud Compute, users’ data is never 
stored or shared with Apple; it is used only to fulfill their request.
Access Favorite Features and Unlock Visual Intelligence with the Action 
Button

iPhone 16e features the Action button, allowing users to easily access a 
variety of functions with just a press. Once customized in Settings, the 
Action button can be used to quickly open the camera or flashlight; 
switch between Ring and Silent modes; recognize music with Shazam; 
activate Voice Memos, Focus, Translate, and accessibility features like 
Magnifier; or use Shortcuts for more options. The Action button can even 
access in-app functionality like launching the camera in Snapchat, 
unlocking a car door with FordPass, tracking a child’s sleep schedule 
with Napper, and more.
