We all expected the iPhone Se 4, but what Apple has finally presented has been the new iPhone 16E, a new compact and cheap variant that is integrated into its family of iPhones 16 presented last September.
After the withdrawal of the iPhone se 3 at the end of 2024 for the entry into force of the unique USB-C charger, The 16E iPhone becomes the lower price of Applealthough interesting functions are not lacking Like an A18 chip, like that of the rest of his brothers.
I have had the opportunity to have in my hands the new iPhone 16E and let it tell you how my first impressions have been.
It is Prodigal son, although it has taken longer to join the family than the rest, however You cannot deny that it is related to the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Prothe most compact mobiles sold by Tim Cook’s brand today. Although the manufacturer has said that the 16E iPhone has been designed on the basis of the iPhone 14, that is, a high -end mobile of the late 2022 that remains perfectly in force today.
This mobile has a design concession in which you can realize that it is not the best of the Apple catalog.
The first is your front camera, which is located in a notch in a tile form in which there are also the mechanisms that allow the facial recognition of Face ID.

The other thing that is quickly noticed, in the back, is that it is a mobile with a single camera lens, although even the majority of cheap mobiles are sold with 2 or more cameras, including the main and secondary one such as the ultra wide angle, macro or teleobjectives – these last ones are usually the most expensive.
But in the rest of things, I must say that I think it is the economic iPhone model in which less differences are appreciated with respect to the expensive. And this is something that greatly improves the iPhone, which had been far behind and looked like the mobile your mother or grandmother would wear.
The 16E iPhone has the same design of flat edges and narrow frames that characterizes the iPhones for several years, resistance IP68, will receive the artificial intelligence of Apple Intelligence in April and use the most powerful chip available at the moment.

In fact, It is not even more compact than the rest, so it earns in usability but loses attractiveness for small mobile lovers. The 16E iPhone has an XDR OLED super -retina screen with 6.1 -inch HDR, and only loses some brightness (1,200 nits compared to 2,000) and the Dolby Vision certification, but nothing that is noticed too much at first sight.
In exchange for this best design and performance, the 16E iPhone loses some of its greatest attraction, since It goes up considerably price, up to 709 euros In Spain, in front of the iPhone Se 3 or iPhone SE 2022, launched 3 years ago for more reasonable 529 euros.

The 16E iPhone, with its 709 euros of recommended price, today does not have so much economic difference with respect to the cheapest mobiles that Apple currently sells, such as the iPhone 15 (859 euros) and the iPhone 16 (959 euros).
Will Apple convince consumers to choose this 16E iPhone to enter their mobile ecosystem in a cheaper way?
