Deals: iPhone 16e goes to pre-order, here are some options

IPhone se is dead, for a long time iPhone E! Okay, it can be an unfortunate development for some of you because SE was the smallest iPhone and it was the cheapest ever. What now?

The Apple iPhone is the same size to 16e 16 and is almost expensive – it starts at £ 600/$ 600/€ 700/₹ 60,000 for the 128GB model. There are also 256GB and 512GB options, but they follow the storage upgrade upgrade on the upgrade on the upgrade phone. Pre-orders for 16E started on this Friday, sales will begin on Friday next week.

Long Story Short, 16E has a bind A18 chipset (with a GPU core low), but it fully supports Apple Intelligence. It has the 48MP main camera of iPhone 15 and recently, although without ultra-wide partner. The display is an old-school setup with a 6.1 “OLED panel running at 60Hz and a big, chunky rung (not a touch ID) for face ID. There is an action button (but not camera control) on the side, no alert slider Not. Also note that wireless charging is supported (Qi, 7.5W) It is not easy to attach charger, phone holders and accessories.

You can get the iPhone 16-its price is £ 200 more for the same 128GB storage, but you get a more modern dynamic island look (although it’s still 60Hz display, although), 12MP Ultra-Wide camera on the back, appropriate Magsef support, as well as the UWB for smart tags (16E deficiency of UWB, but supports the satellite message). We tried in search of iPhone 16 deals, but nothing is good at this time.

Apple still sells the iPhone 15 – this is the first “modern” vanilla model. From “modern” we mean USB-C charging, a dynamic island and 48mp camera with in-sensor 2x zoom. This model uses the old A16 non-ex-Proph chipset, so apple intelligence (who cares for the major omission or “who cares?”, You won’t decide). Magsafe and UWB are supported. The iPhone 15 is new for more than £ 100 (both 128GB).

But why is a vanilla 15, why not iPhone 15 Pro? They are no longer sold by Apple, but there are renewed units in great condition outside. Like this offer for £ 640 (for 128GB phones). With Pro you get 120Hz display with a dynamic island, not only 48MP main, but also with 12MP 77 mm telephoto and 12MP ultra-wide cameras. And the Apple A17 Pro Chipset fully supports Apple’s AI – including Visual Intelligence AI.

We called the iPhone 15 the first “modern” vanilla model because 14 lacks many upgrades which are now standard on current iPhones. But the iPhone 14 Pro is mostly there – unless you feel like using electric cables.

The iPhone 14 Pro also has a 120Hz Dynamic Island Display, a 48MP main, 12MP 77mm telephoto and 12MP ultra-wide camera, UWB and Magsafe, although there is no apple intelligence. A refurbished unit can be much less than 15 Pro and much less with more storage to boot.

If you are not tied to the Apple ecosystem, you can also see Android. Google Pixel 9 is currently £ 650 for the 128GB unit (this is after a discount of £ 150 in checkout). It is a little pricier, but it comes with a 120Hz display (punch hole), a 50MP main camera and an ultra-wide module-in 48MP one on. There is no UWB on it and wireless charging is done without magnets, but satellite messaging is supported as AI Prasad of Google quickly develops.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 is still around, going to £ 600 and it includes a free pair of Galaxy Buds Fe and a free Galaxy Fit3 smartband. We will also look at S25, but it actually adds only additional RAM (12GB vs 8GB) and a new chipset (Snapdragon 8 Elite vs 8 General 3).

The Samsung Galaxy S25 is £ 700 after a discount of £ 100 in the checkout. It is about the same size of 16E, but with a 120Hz Ltpo display with punch hole camera. It supports Galaxy AI, but no Magnets, no Magnets, no UWB or satellite messaging. The camera system has 50MP main, 10MP 67 mm telephoto and 12MP ultra-wide.

You can also get a foldable for a 16E price – RAZR 50 is slightly expensive at £ 725 (although it is with 512GB storage), but the vanilla razr 50 (256GB) is the same price as the iPhone 16E. , Demistance 7300x is a disappointment for those who expect performance, but 6.9 “120Hz Ltpo internal and 3.6” cover displays are very terrible. This phone has a 50MP main camera and 13MP ultra-wide. The 4,200mAh battery supports 30W wired and 15W wireless (and magnet-cum) charging.

The stock will not last for a very long time, but the OnePlus 12R can still be picked up for £ 620. It is a large phone with 6.78 ”display (120Hz Ltpo), 5,500mAh battery (100W wired-cavity) and a Snapdragon 8 gene 2 chipset. The camera does not have a telephoto lens, what you get is 50MP main and 8MP ultra-wide.
