iPhone 16e - Image Credit: Apple. A few days after launch, Apple has made the iPhone 16e available to purchase online, ahead of its February 28 release. Following a brief period of downtime, the Apple Store is back online, and that means it's now possible to preorder the iPhone 16e. Customers can also preorder from physical Apple Store locations as well.
Consumers have two color options to choose from, in either Black or White. Capacities start from $599 for 128GB, with 256GB for $699 and 512GB for $899. As well as the online store, it's also possible to preorder the iPhone 16e from carriers. Availability may vary depending on the mobile phone network and if you order online or in-store. Preorder incentives currently offer up to $830 off via bill credits, trade-in deals, etc. at major carriers.
General availability for the iPhone 16e is set for February 28, one week after preorders started. A major upgrade from the iPhone SE 3, the iPhone 16e has a 6.1-inch OLED display with Face ID in a notch at the top of the screen. On the back is a 48-megapixel camera, which can also fake a 2x telephoto camera with a 12MP resolution thanks to selective cropping.
Powered by an A18 chip, the iPhone 16e also serves as the cheapest way to own an iPhone with support for Apple Intelligence. It has full support for its various features, including Image Playground, Writing Tools, Genmoji, and even Visual Intelligence via the side Action button.
