Apple has introduced the iPhone 16E, amazing fans, who were expecting the iPhone S4. While the iPhone 16 series was posted as a more affordable member, there are many details about the iPhone 16e that may not be immediately clear. The new iPhone costs Rs 59,900 in India. There are 8 things here that you will not know about Apple’s latest device.
iPhone 16E launched: 8 things you don’t know about it
Old noted design, no camera control
While many recent iPhones have moved to the Dynamic Island, the iPhone 16e maintains the standard wide range design on iPhone 14. However, people who are switching from older iPhones from the iPhone 15 series cannot feel like being old notch design. This will probably not create a lot of difference for them. In addition, while Apple has not included the camera control button to capture the video/photo quickly or zoom into the frame, it has given the action button which is more important. It is a multi -purpose button. You can customize it and assign it in various tasks for easy access. Some of these features are cameras, flashlight, focus mode, muted mode, voice memo, translate and more.
New A18 Chip with all core?
You can expect almost equal performance on both devices. But, wait for why I am almost saying? Both run on Apple’s new A18 chip, including 6-core CPUs, including 2 performance and 4 efficiency core for efficient multitasking and power management. So, what’s different here? The iPhone 16E has a 4-core GPU and the iPhone 16 comes with 5-core GPU. For everyday use, this GPU difference will probably not be noticeable, as long as you are not demanding too much of genshin effects such as apps or games.
48MP main camera
The iPhone 16E has a single 48-megapixel camera at the back, which offers what the Apple 2-in-1 camera says. While it is not offering a dual-camera setup, it is capable of 2x digital zoom and takes a high-resolution detailed photo in 48MP mode. However, regular photo mode clicks on 24MP shots by default.
Display brightness
Although the 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display provides good colors such as the iPhone 16, the glitter level is at 800nits for specific use and HDR is at 1200nits for content. For your reference, the iPhone 16 leads these boundaries with specific glow, 1600nits in HDR and 2000nits for external visibility. This means that it is a limited bright -level support compared to its more expensive brothers and sisters, 16E should still be quite visible under direct sunlight.
No ultra-wide camera
For photography, a remarkable absence is an ultra-wide camera. While the iPhone 16E iPhone 16 offers 48-megapixel main camera sensors, people who are looking for a comprehensive approach in their shots can miss an ultra-wide lens here.
Color option
The iPhone 16E is introduced only in black and white paint jobs, unlike the broad palette available with the iPhone 16. Apple has probably played safely with the iPhone 16e because not everyone is a fan of bold colors, especially when a new device is being announced.
No magic charging
Wireless charging is supported on the iPhone 16E, but you will not get Apple’s magnetic charging system magsafe. For your reference, the iPhone 16 has support for Magsafe Wireless, which charges up to 25W with 30W adapters or higher, something that lacks 16E. Both phones have support for Qi wireless charging, but 16E gets power up to 7.5W and up to 15W up to 15W.
Standard Wi-Fi 6
While the iPhone 16E has Wi-Fi 6 for rapid connectivity, it does not support the new Wi-Fi 7 technology seen on the iPhone 16 as it also promises rapidly and more reliable internet speed.
What to keep in mind?
Despite these features, the iPhone 16E still brings a lot of value with its A18 chip, strong design, Apple intelligence, vibrant display, large battery and accessible price point. This is a worthy option for those who are looking for an apple device without some extra frills.
