Rebranded as the iPhone 16e, this budget-friendly iPhone finally brings Face ID, a 6.1-inch OLED display, and USB-C to Apple’s most affordable smartphone. The USB-C port runs at USB 2.0 speeds (480 Mbps) and notably lacks DisplayPort video output — making it the only current USB-C iPhone that cannot connect to external displays. It’s powered by the A18 chip with 8GB RAM, enabling full Apple Intelligence features. Fast charging reaches 50% in about 30 minutes with a 20W+ adapter.
6.1″ budget iPhone (iPhone 16e) with USB-C (USB 2.0), A18 chip, Face ID, and Apple’s first in-house modem.
