Should you couldn’t abdomen $800 for a brand new iPhone with Apple Intelligence, don’t fear: Apple simply introduced the iPhone 16e. At $599, it strikes a steadiness on specs, which is the comfortable and cosy method to say it doesn’t have the whole lot.
It has quite a bit, although. With a 6.1-inch display screen, it’s a a lot larger system than the 4.7-inch iPhone SE, with a notch for FaceID (no extra TouchID), USB-C (adios, Lightning) and the corporate’s A18 processor. There’s additionally an action button, which arrived with the iPhone 15 collection, however no Digicam Management.
That’s the identical processor because the $800 iPhone 16, so that you’ve received entry to what appears to be the total gamut of Apple Intelligence. That features generative AI writing instruments, Genmoji, Picture Playground, Visible Intelligence and ChatGPT integration. So yeah, a blended bag.
The notable {hardware} standout is perhaps the single 48-megapixel Fusion digicam, at a time when 'professional' iPhones have three. The final time I examined a single-camera smartphone was the Pixel 4a again in 2020. Oh, and the final iPhone SE.
Apple has dropped each wi-fi charging and MagSafe’s magnetic ring for the iPhone 16e too, which is a shock. I’m not an enormous fan of wi-fi charging. It’s gradual, inefficient and complicated. Having stated that, I hope this isn’t the start of the top for Apple’s wi-fi charging function. I really like the magazine a part of MagSafe, which has launched way more elegant tripods and telephone mounts that lock iPhones in place with no need a clamp or a plug. In recent times, we’ve received unofficial MagSafe instances for different smartphones, so I can do the identical with my Android telephones.
The iPhone 16e lands on February 28 in black and white, however don’t fear, there will likely be fizzy colour instances. Even when they don’t have MagSafe.
(And kudos to this hilariously timed low cost on the Pixel 8a, now solely $399. I really like a superb troll deal.)
