Summary at a Glance

The affordable iPhone 16e is also the perfect vehicle for the Apple C1 modem, because it lacks a few of the features found in the iPhone 16’s Qualcomm x71 modem.

We’ve talked about the new affordable iPhone 16e a bunch, but one of the most important changes from a techy perspective is one that probably should not influence whether you buy an iPhone 16e or not.

The iPhone 16e has the Apple C1, which represents the collected work of that initial Intel team, plus those extra five-plus years of development within Apple.

This is not widely used in the UK yet, but Ofcom is to hold an auction for mmWave spectrum bands this year; network providers bid on spectrum bands so they can eventually provide that service to regular iPhone users.

However, if you know you have a Wi-FI 6e or Wi-Fi 7 router, you may see slightly better home networking results from an iPhone 16 than an iPhone 16e.
