He iPhone 16e This is officially and arrives with several very interesting news. The new member of the Apple’s mobile family, which was not effectively declared under the name iPhone Se 4, arrives with a design that mix some current elements with others that already have several generations of seniority, but stands out for its section at the level of software and equipment.
An interesting point in the iPhone 16e is that, as it was, according to rumors, it introduces the A18 chip with a 6 -year processor and a neural engine of 16 nuclei, similar to the one that is already controlled by the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus. The big difference lies in its graphic processor, since it is 4 nuclei, and not 5, as used in models that were launched in September 2024.
The amazing thing is that Apple decided to compare its performance with A13 Bionic performance, which promoted the iPhone 11, and which says that the processor offers performance 80 times higher. A striking choice, given that this component was used on the 2020 iPhone SE, and not in 2022, which is equipped with A15 Bionic. The face to the face with the latter would be more suitable, no doubt.
Another great fact that comes out of the iPhone 16e announcement, Introduction C1The first 5G modem developed and developed by Apple. This was another novelty that rumored, and which marks the beginning of a new path for Cupertino, trying to put the end of its dependence on Qualcomm.
The debut of the iPhone 16e also brings with it an important increase in price compared to versions of the past. This model currently begins with 709 euros and exceeds 1000 euros in its storage version.
That’s why, among other things, we want to take the opportunity Compare the 16e iPhone with its main competitors And determine whether it is worth it. Thus, we will consider the similarities and differences between the new economic smartphone Apple and other equipment with which it competes, or for advantages in price.
iPhone 16e against iPhone 15
The first comparison should be made in the Cupertino company. IPhone 16e, you want or not, the direct rivalry of the standard iPhone 15, which was now the only model outside the iPhone 16 line, which Apple continues to sell in its store.

As you can imagine, the differences between the iPhone 16e and iPhone 15 are, but in many cases they come down to minimal problems. The most famous are in the configuration of the rear chamber, wireless reloading options and, to a lesser extent, in the number of graphic processor nuclei.
We should not ignore what refers to RAMSince the new smartphone includes 8 GB – although it is not formalized – and the iPhone 15 wears 6 GB. The difference in response to Apple said that in the past 8 GB is the minimum necessary for the implementation of Apple intelligence. And namely, the presence or absence of AI tools can help persuade the balance for a particular model, but it also depends on the needs of each user.
The definition between both mobile substances, of course, ends through the label. The iPhone 16e begins with 709 euros for 128 GB, while the iPhone 15 begins at 859 euros for the same number of internal storage. For those who are looking for “yes” or “yes”, the latest latter, without destroying their portfolio, and with a greater memory, the model that was presented today seems to be an ideal option. Those who prefer a more reliable and better recharge camera give them both Apple intelligence and the difference in frames, they will probably feel more comfortable, paying a little more for the iPhone 15 more than for more than a year of antiques.
