Apple’s cheapest iPhone is not cheap. In India, the price of iPhone 16E starts at Rs 59,900 for the base version, while the price of iPhone 16 starts from Rs 79,900. The world feels that the iPhone 16e iPhone is a spiritual successor to the most affordable iPhone lineup of Apple, but Apple has not officially said anything. However, a quick look at the iPhone 16E and you are immediately reminded of a design that you have already seen on the iPhone XR and iPhone SE series. But while maintaining some old design language, the iPhone 16E also comes with some new features from the iPhone 16 series, which are the best in my opinion.

The iPhone 16E is now on sale in India and after using the new iPhone 16E a brief use and experience. Hardware upgrade was clear and already known: a 6.1-inch OLED display, a 48-megapixel fusion camera, faceid, action button, USB-C charging port, A18 chip (used on iPhone 16 series), and from the claims of Apple, 6.1-inch display on the iPhone. This means that the iPhone 16E has a better battery than iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 16. We will soon test that claim in our detailed review.

Look and feel iPhone 16e

Compared to the iPhone 16, which also sports a 6.1 -inch display, is both the iPhone 16E light and light. The 16E weighs 167g and 16 is 170g. Only 3 grams, I know. But I think it also looks blind. It has a single camera setup, which apple says that 2 -in -1 camera capacity. It has a 48-megapixel fusion camera, which is similar to the main camera on the iPhone 16, but the sensor at 16E is small. Apple has also tuned in telephoto capabilities on the phone, which allows 2x “optical-quality” but to digital-in-reality zoom. However, Apple says that it is a 2 -in -1 camera that allows for a large battery on the phone.

I will test the phone’s camera a little more closely in my review, but so far how much I have received to use the device, the iPhone 16E camera takes great advantage of the iPhone software. I could not test the camera outside, but in the controlled indoor lighting, the colors looked natural, and were able to generate a good boke in the phone portrait shots.

The device is also actually comfortable to catch. The rear panel of the phone has a matte finish sex. It is soft to touch, yet gives you a good grip. From the front, if not for the missing dynamic island, the device looks exactly like the iPhone 16. OLED looked bright enough for both to use daily use and video content on it.

Apple and Visual Intelligence on iPhone 16E

On the one hand, hardware, when I experienced the device briefly, had some characteristics that I wanted to spend some more time with the iPhone 16E, and you correctly estimated me, they were mostly with Apple Intelligence and Visual Intelligence. I saw a group of AI features in the notes app, message app, playground, as well as visual intelligence -which is mapped on the action button.

Apple has confirmed that by April, Apple Intellation will roll out in India. However, Apple gave us a glimpse of how facilities at the iPhone 16E will work. I will talk in detail about these facilities in my review of iPhone. But for now, I can tell you that Apple Intelligence features will be integrated on the device. Which means, as I have experienced it, you can use a combination of simple keywords to create your own genmoji. For example, in the message app, only an emoji of an elephant with a chef’s cap, typing “chef elephant”, only “Chef Elephant”. You can also give more character to emoji in the playground. Or you can copy and paste this genmoji on your notes app, and use Chatgpt to generate a fictional piece about it.

Notes app is already one of the best iOS apps and there is also Chatgpt integration within it. You can accommodate the writing style, tone, or signal that what is necessary from a text, and the device triggers chatgpt to generate materials for you. You do not need a standalone chatgipt app for this. How I am planning to try this feature, he is moving notes down from a meeting or interview, and turning it into a more suitable text. I already use notes for comprehensive note.

It is also worth noting that Apple has announced a system-wide support for 10 Indian languages ​​including Telugu, Tamil, Punjabi and Marathi on the iPhone 16E and other iPhone 16 devices. This means that you will not only be able to type and chat, say, Tamil, but the device will also display all system settings – including calendar, settings app and lock screen date and time – in your selected language.

That said, I have reviewed a group of equipment in the last one year that come up with AI characteristics that are really really cool. However, a few days to use features, their innovation soon stops. When I review the iPhone 16E, it will be an important focus to me to see if this iPhone AI still feels cool after a few weeks.

What ahead in the review of iPhone 16E

As the iPhone 16E goes on sale, there are mixed reactions about the device. However, as I have tested the device, I am interested in finding out how to actually trim the experience on the iPhone 16. Is it worth a price interval of about Rs 20,000? Does iPhone 16E make sense on last year’s iPhone 15 professionals? Stay for the answer.
