Here's where you can pre-order iPhone 16e and even score free accessories

Published Mar 21, 2025 8:01 pm

Apple has announced its latest product, the iPhone 16e, last February.

The latest unit in the iPhone 16 series has features like Face ID and a notched screen (a first for a special edition iPhone); a 6.1-inch display; a 48MP Fusion camera at the back; a 26-hour battery life; and C1, the tech giant's first modem that supports 5G cellular connectivity.

Like the ones in the series, it also has an action button for programmable shortcuts sans the new camera control button; a USB-C port and support for wireless charging; an A18 processor that boasts of faster performance; and Apple Intelligence, the company's own AI which provides writing assistance, image generation, and smarter interaction with digital assistant Siri.
