Reasons To Buy

Drop-dead gorgeous. Drop-tested tough.

iPhone 16e has an incredible design — inside and out — and is available in an elegant black or white finish. Made from durable aerospace‑grade aluminum, the enclosure on iPhone 16e is built to go the distance and survive life’s oops, whoops, and oh nooos.

Tougher than any smartphone glass.

The front of iPhone 16e is protected by Ceramic Shield, which is tougher than any smartphone glass and ready to handle all of those real‑life situations. And iPhone 16e is resistant to splashes, water, and dust.

A fast track to your favorite feature.

With a press you can use visual intelligence, call your best friend, launch your favorite app, and more.

One. For all.

iPhone 16e has USB‑C, a port for charging and connecting other Apple devices and a wide variety of accessories.

Put your best face forward.

Use Face ID to securely unlock, sign in to apps, and pay with just a glance.

Colors? We’ve got you covered.

Choose from two timeless colors. Accessorize with gorgeous cases. It’s one beautiful and stylish iPhone that goes with everything.

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.

From dusk till dawn. And beyond.

iPhone 16e has supersized battery life — up to 6 hours longer in your day than iPhone 11, and up to 12 hours longer in your day than iPhone SE. It’s the best battery life in an iPhone this size. The remarkable power efficiency of Apple silicon — including the first Apple-designed modem, C1 — and iOS means iPhone 16e gets up to 26 hours of video playback. That’s more time to text, browse, and binge movies and shows.

Future-proof your fast.

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

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.

AI‑opening possibilities.

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.

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.

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

The redesigned 48MP Fusion camera has the capabilities of two cameras in one. The 48MP 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.

See the world through an entirely new lens.

Use visual intelligence through the Action button or Control Center to instantly learn about objects and places you see. Just point your iPhone 16e to discover more or interact with something in front of you. Pull up reviews of a restaurant you pass, search for where to buy a new item you spotted, and more.

Peace of mind. On and off the grid.

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 and Live Feed with 911, iPhone 16e helps you get the emergency assistance you need when it counts the most. And for times you’re without cell service or Wi‑Fi, our latest iPhone models, including iPhone 16e, can even connect to a satellite to send messages and more.
