Testberichte für das Apple iPhone 16e
Kann man bei 700 Euro noch von einem Budget-Preis reden? Nach Apple-Maßstäben schon. Das Apple iPhone 16e definiert sich aber nicht nur über den Preis, sondern erweist sich im Test auch als gutes Smartphone, das trotz langer Streichliste eine sehr ordentliche Ausstattung bietet.

Das iPhone 16e verzichtet auf jede Art von Schnickschnack: keine Ultraweitwinkel-Linse, kein MagSafe, keine zentimetergenaue AirTag-Ortung per UWB. Doch punktet es in den Kernfunktionen: Der Akku hält länger als beim iPhone 16 und seinen Vorgängern, der A18-Prozessor ist praktisch genauso stark und macht das kleine 16e fit für Apple Intelligence und viele Jahre kommender Updates. Und: Es ist vergleichsweise günstig.

For a lot of people the iPhone 16e might be all they need even versus the iPhone 15. But the iPhone 16e price and camera might be what wins people over.

EN→DEThe iPhone 16e is a very different proposition to Apple’s SE phones of old. This is a phone that delivers most of the iPhone 16 ownership experience, particularly where picture and sound quality are concerned, for a healthy chunk of change less. If you’re more than just a point-and-shoot photographer or you regularly watch movies in very bright sunlight, the iPhone 16 or 16 Pro are worth the extra outlay, but for most people, the iPhone 16e feels like all the phone they will need.

Zooming maxes out at 10x (6x for video) and is fine up to about 4-5x for photos, but quality drops rapidly beyond this. iPhones always excel at video recording, and so does the iPhone 16e. Here again, it doesn’t perform as well as the iPhone 16 or 16 Pro, but it still beats the vast majority of Android phones.

Apple's iPhone 16e vs Nothing's CMF Phone 2 Pro, the 'affordable' iOS smartphone vs an actual budget Android, to see which is best! I've reviewed both devices and here's how the CMF Phone 2 Pro beats the iPhone 16e in many areas, including battery life, AI features, customisation and specs. If you've seen my video on Apple's cheapest 2025 slab, you'll know that I think it's an insult to their fans. Why pay £600 UK for this dross, when Nothing delivers incredible value in the CMF Phone 2 Pro? Sure, the iPhone 16e is superior for audio thanks to its stereo speakers, and boasts the more premium design. However, Nothing's blower boasts a 120Hz AMOLED screen that's brighter and notch-free.

EN→DEIt’s really tough to fully recommend the iPhone 16e given all the awesome choices we have on the Android side of things and, to think, we’ve only just entered the 2nd quarter of 2025. Like I said at the beginning though, it does get a few things right; especially when it comes to the performance side of things and when it comes to battery life. I’d say that if you’re looking to upgrade from an older iPhone and stay within the ecosystem but have a tighter budget, this is definitely worth considering. You do have to be aware of the compromises they’ve made though and really think about if it’s worth it for you.

Considering the drawbacks, the iPhone 16e is great if you buy it around Rs.50000. Therefore, you may have to wait for the e-commerce sale to grab the iPhone 16e at a great deal price.

EN→DEThe iPhone 16e costs Rs 59,990 for the base model that offers 128GB of storage, while the top-end 512GB model costs Rs 89,900. Even if we consider the starting price, the opportunity cost of the iPhone 16e seems quite high, given that one can buy Android flagships offering all the bells and whistles. Phones like the Xiaomi 15 (review), OPPO Find X8 (review), Vivo X200 (review), etc are all priced in close vicinity. However, I think the 16e would appeal more to those who covet an iPhone, and would settle for nothing else. And with the iPhone 16 (review) listed at Rs 72,900 on some e-com websites (at the time of writing), things become tricky for the 16e. By itself, it’s a capable device, scoring on core aspects like performance and battery life.

EN→DEWith the unusual hardware and software blend that makes up the iPhone 16e, there’s a fair amount of mental gymnastics needed to justify its purchase to the average phone buyer. I you want the cheapest new iPhone or the cheapest member of the iPhone 16 to repair, that’s the iPhone 16e. If you care about the camera, display or MagSafe even a little bit, strike up for the iPhone 16 or 16 Pro, and if you’re in the market for an iPhone explicitly because of Apple Intelligence, wait. Even without waiting for the iPhone 17 series, the 16e might still be the best-value purchase for you, but only once Apple Intelligence is able to deliver on all the things Apple has currently promised, by which time the 16e may have fallen in price at third-party retailers anyway.

EN→DEIf we consider the Apple iPhone 16e without taking into account the price, then the only really significant drawback is the lack of an ultra-wide-angle camera. After all, the smartphone has a high-quality screen (albeit with a 60 Hz refresh rate), a productive processor, excellent stereo speakers, a high-quality (albeit single) rear camera, a pleasant battery life, at least 5 years of OS updates, as well as a relatively compact and lightweight glass and metal case with IP68 protection. But if we return to the price, then much more questions arise and it is already difficult to close our eyes to some compromises. The official price of the Apple iPhone 16e starts at 34,999 UAH (128 GB). We will not even mention Android. The Apple iPhone 15 with a dual rear camera and a neater Dynamic Island is a little cheaper. And if you add 5,000 UAH, then this is already the iPhone 16. So the pricing is somewhat surprising.

Apple’s iPhone 16e may be a step up in terms of screen tech, but it leaves behind the small, affordable design we loved about the SE. With OLED finally making its way to this “budget” model, you might think it’s a game changer. But there’s a lot to consider—pricing, portability, and Touch ID are just a few things Apple has shifted. But while the screen might be overhyped, the camera is surprisingly good for a single lens. Having spent a month with it since its release, Paul dives into the pros and cons, including whether this iPhone is truly worth the price.

EN→DEAs an iPhone user of some years, I didn’t expect to love the iPhone 16e. Of course it doesn’t match up to a Pro model, and I wouldn’t expect it to for the price. But, the things which you *don’t* get are quite surprising considering this is still some way more expensive than equivalent models from other (Android) brands. Although image quality from the one and only camera is pretty good, there are certainly times when you do miss the ability to go extra wide, or to zoom further than 2x and still get good results. Maybe you wouldn’t miss either of those options, but when even rivals which cost half the price of an iPhone give you that, it’s a big shame. Moving past the hardware limitations, there’s the software limitations which are more frustrating.

EN→DELet us get this absolutely clear: the iPhone 16e is clearly targeted at those who want a new-ish iPhone. The iPhone 16e will win no spec battles against Android devices in its range and might even find itself losing out to the iPhone 15 in terms of features like the Dynamic Island, cameras, and MagSafe support. Its biggest USP, however, is the fact that it brings a full-fledged iOS experience, complete with Apple Intelligence and support for future updates at a lower price than any other officially available iPhone. In fact, you can get a 256 GB iPhone 16e for less than the price of a 128 GB iPhone 16, which is actually very good value for money as you still get a flagship chip inside a compact form factor, delivering superb performance with very good battery life.

The major update in this latest iOS is of course AI, or rather Apple's take on it. This is still massively flawed in many respects, from Visual Intelligence which can just about identify basic plants to the buggy image generation tools. However, the photo editing aspect usually works fine if you don't lean too hard on it, while the iPhone 16e can also summarise websites. One of the best things about iOS 18 is that it's more customisable than before, with the option of changing icon colours etc. Small steps, but it makes the overall experience a bit more personable. The iPhone 16e offers up quite a simple camera setup too, but here's how to tweak the main settings and get the kind of photos you want.

The elephant in the room is iPhone 15 (Review). It sells at around the same price as iPhone 16e during festive sales and, so it makes little sense to pick up an iPhone 16e unless you prioritise battery life and nothing else. And that leaves the iPhone 16e for the “I just need an iPhone crowd”. Those who aren't bothered by AI and are fine with decent camera quality. These are users who aren't aware, haven't experienced and don't care about MagSafe and Dynamic Island.

The single sensor camera system is brilliant, the display is punchy, and the user interface is every bit a flagship iPhone experience. It isn’t what I would call “budget” or “cheap”, and removing MagSafe feels a little miserly. But omitting some of the iPhone 16’s other features is understandable when you gain $200/£200 in your pocket opting for this entry-level model. The Android alternatives cost less, have more versatile camera setups, and smoother 120Hz displays – but you don’t buy oranges when you fancy an apple. If you’re an iOS die-hard, this is all the iPhone you really need.

It packs Qualcomm’s powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset under the hood and pairs it with 12GB of RAM — more than any other phone mentioned. OnePlus’s mid-ranger is also the largest at 6.78 inches, packs the fastest wired charging (a very casual 80W), and has a sharp 50MP telephoto sensor for all your zoom needs.

With the iPhone 16e, Apple prioritized build quality and processor performance over a more robust camera system or power user favorites like MagSafe, Camera Control, and the Dynamic Island.

On the other hand, Apple has deliberately removed some features, likely to create differentiation and prevent it from being too competitive within the lineup. This effectively turns it into a downgraded iPhone, with a particularly noticeable compromise in the camera department. Additionally, while marketed as a budget-friendly iPhone, it is far from cheap. For Apple loyalists unwilling to consider other brands, another cost-effective option is purchasing the previous model.

EN→DEComing back to whom the iPhone 16e makes sense for. Currently, there is a lot of chatter comparing the iPhone 16e with the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Pro whether the latter is a better investment. And I think the comparison is fair. If you want the flagship experience, then yes, the iPhone 15 may make good sense. With bank offers and discounts, you can get the iPhone 15 at an almost similar price point: for about Rs 60,000. But this comparison is not as simple as it seems. With each of these phones you gain some and you lose some. On the iPhone 15 you get the dynamic island, but otherwise, both the 16e and the iPhone 15 offer a similar display ratio and refresh rate. Then on the iPhone 15, you get the old-fashioned toggle aka mute switch, whereas on the iPhone 16e you get a more modern action button.

EN→DEThe iPhone 16e isn’t an exciting iPhone. But it is an iPhone that gets the job done. It has all the tentpole features most will expect and comes at a price that is, on paper at least, tempting. For those who want the best iPhone, the iPhone 16 Pro offers flagship features, and the iPhone 16 is a stellar mid-range option. For everyone else, the iPhone 16e is a welcome addition.

EN→DEThe iPhone 16e is a solid phone that offers most of the core iPhone experience with a few things left out for a lower cost. Many of these things, such as slower wifi, a slightly less powerful chip, no camera control button and an older-style notch probably don’t matter much to most people. But the lack of MagSafe and only a single camera on the back may be deal breakers for some. The advantage the 16e has over the iPhone 15 and older, cheaper models still available from third-party retailers is the Apple Intelligence features, some of which are useful but many are underwhelming or bettered by third-party apps. The biggest problem with the 16e is its price. Though it costs about 25% less than a regular iPhone 16, £599 is still very much at the premium end of the market.

From my testing, the biggest sacrifice coming from the iPhone 16 Pro was the loss of the ultra-wide and telephoto lenses and advanced photography and videography features. For mostly everything else, the iPhone 16e can hold its own for a $599 handset.

EN→DEWhen the iPhone 16e was first announced, people questioned why this phone was more expensive than the outgoing SE (3rd generation), but I don’t think that’s the point. The iPhone 16e is a very different beast from the SE. As suggested in the name, this is more of a 16 lite, providing a reduced set of features but still very much part of the current range. What this phone does, it does very well. It feels great in the hand, thanks to the superb build quality, and it's a very pleasing size – both to hold and for the screen. The addition of Face ID, the Action button and the high-resolution screen make it easy to access, while the power of the A18 chip means it’s ready for everything from video editing to gaming.

EN→DEThe iPhone 16e is a solid smartphone - it offers Apple's iconic design, now made cleaner than ever, durable as always, and, well, just beautiful. The 16e is also one of the most compact and lightweight modern smartphones on the market. And it costs under $799/€800, which translates to affordable in Apple's world. But it is not the next iPhone SE or an iPhone mini successor. This alone would be a big turn-off for many customers (some of our team members included) who were expecting a new mini iPhone even if it wasn't meant to be as affordable as before. The iPhone 16e being a recycled iPhone 13 with scrapped iPhone 16 chips is surely not helping its case, especially at that price.

EN→DEWould I buy the iPhone 16e? Definitely not. I don't necessarily need the best of the best all the time, but I'd miss the Dynamic Island and I'm not fond of the sizable bezels. There are other factors, too, like the lack of a higher refresh rate display, and I've grown very fond of playing around with Photographic Styles. I'm clearly not the iPhone 16e's audience, though. This phone is for people that need a new iPhone and are currently on the iPhone 13, iPhone 14, or maybe the iPhone SE, who don't want to shell out the money for the pricey iPhone 16. In fact, I'd argue that the iPhone 16e will actually cannibalize the iPhone 16's sales. It offers all the features that matter to the average person, alongside a cheaper price tag.

EN→DEShould you spend $100 more, and get the iPhone 15? Again, it's a matter of compromises: a second, ultra-wide camera but an older, A16 Bionic chipset; the useful Dynamic Island, but no Apple Intelligence; MagSafe support, but shorter battery life compared to the iPhone 16e. I can't say I agree with Apple, that the AI is a big enough selling point on its own, and I wish Ultra WideBand — for precise AirTag location — had made it to the 16e's spec sheet. I also think it's far too easy to dismiss these $100 increments, particularly if you're not used to considering things from a strict budgeting perspective.

EN→DEThe iPhone 16e is an incredible value at $599. It’s as fast and future-proof as any modern flagship phone, it takes great photos and it somehow lasts even longer on a charge than the regular iPhone 16 that costs $200 more. If you’re getting your first iPhone, buying one for a kid or upgrading from a really old model — I’m talking iPhone 11 or older — you’ll be absolutely delighted by what this thing does for just shy of 600 bucks. That said, the evolution of Apple’s entry-level phone comes with some growing pains, and it isn’t necessarily the best low-cost iPhone for everyone. Folks who love the smaller 4.7-inch screen and Touch ID button on their iPhone SE will have to either adapt to the modern 6.1-inch iPhone design or cling to their current device for a bit longer.

EN→DEAt the beginning of this review, I called the iPhone 16e a kind of spiritual successor to the iPhone SE. Ultimately, however, that’s a bit of an oversimplification. To be clear, the iPhone 16e is the new “budget iPhone” — but it’s not as budget as the iPhone SE. That’s a bummer, but it also leaves the door open for a fourth-generation iPhone SE, should Apple choose to release one. Some of the trade-offs you make for the cheaper iPhone make sense compared to the iPhone 16. It makes sense to lose a camera and the Camera Control. It makes sense to have a slightly older display. And, it makes sense to have a slightly older design with a notch. Other changes, like the lack of MagSafe, make no sense to me. Apple is all about that ecosystem — and not including MagSafe represents a jarring break in the ecosystem that limits the accessories people can actually use with their phones.

EN→DEFrom its announcement, I wasn’t expecting to love the iPhone 16e as much as I do. It’s beautiful, it feels great in the hand, and it seems perfectly modern. I think this will be a great phone to hold down the bottom of the iPhone lineup for years to come. It’s a shame Apple couldn’t sell it at a lower price and left out MagSafe, but at least the latter is easily remedied. Personally, I’m excited for Apple to apply the learnings of the iPhone 16e to its Pro line of phones. Aluminum is so much lighter and feels nicer; stainless steel and titanium were always marketing gimmicks that made the phone heavier and worse. The camera being out of the way in the corner makes it easier to hold. I’m not in the market for a budget phone. But I’m glad that the people who are will be getting something great with the iPhone 16e.

You still get outstanding performance out of the iPhone 16e, but now it costs more to own the cheapest iPhone — and the decision is made tougher knowing that the iPhone 16 offers extra utility for just $200 more. Obviously, everything about the iPhone 16e is much improved over the iPhone SE 2022, but I don’t want to refer to this new model as a value phone because it’s not. This is why I think of the iPhone 16e as a new breed of iPhone because it takes some of the best parts about a modern iPhone, offering them at slightly lower cost. If you’re willing to settle for those missing features — namely MagSafe, Dynamic Island, ultrawide camera, and all the extra video features — the iPhone 16e is an excellent choice.

EN→DEThere’s no doubt that the iPhone 16e is a solid phone — it functions well, fits neatly into Apple’s lineup, and brings some impressive features. But the way Apple has priced it makes things tricky. At Rs 59,900, it’s positioned as the most affordable iPhone to support Apple Intelligence, powered by the A18 chip. For anyone deep in Apple’s ecosystem, that’s a big deal. However, Apple has clearly cut some corners to keep it in this price bracket. It lacks multiple rear cameras, Dynamic Island, and some of the premium features found on pricier iPhones. In a market like India, where value-for-money is king, that puts the iPhone 16e in a tough spot. If you’re looking for an iPhone on a budget, this one does the job. But at this price, older iPhone models or even flagship Android phones offer better hardware and versatility, especially if you’re interested in Apple’s ecosystem or Apple Intelligence. If, however, you’re keen on it, it’s a completely different conversation.

EN→DEApple’s most affordable iPhone has finally gotten its much-needed update. Not only does it have a more contemporary design and upgraded internals, but it also gets a new name. It’s called the iPhone 16E. You can make your own guesses as to what the “E” stands for, but it’s obvious that Apple wants you to think of it as an extension of the iPhone 16 lineup. Crucially, Apple’s recipe for a cheaper iPhone hasn’t changed: keep the essentials and trim the fat. So in the case of the iPhone 16E, have they taken too much off to lower its price, or have they got the balance right? Let us dig deeper to find out.

To a certain extent, the phone got to give close competition to last year’s iPhone 15. But it doesn’t mean that the phone didn’t have any flaws. For example, you won’t receive dynamic range photography. The device didn’t have a higher refresh rate, a big camera notch, no dynamic island, and so on. Undoubtedly, this is the most basic phone that Apple released in 2025. But the price point is still quite high. If you can wait for a couple of months, you might notice some price drops. But if you want a phone right now, then consider getting the iPhone 15. It has overall better camera features with a slight downgrade in performance.

Instead, the iPhone 16e is a capable new entry point that sets the stage for big changes in the iPhone's future. For $599, you get a well-made piece of hardware with strong performance and all the Apple Intelligence features of pricier models. In addition, Apple's C1 modem ensures fast 5G and accurate location services while introducing new efficiencies that contribute to battery life that beats the iPhone 16. As good as the iPhone 16e is, the iPhone 16's faster 5G and Wi-Fi, brighter screen, and feature-rich wide-angle camera give it the edge, so it remains our Editors' Choice as the best iPhone for most buyers.

EN→DEIt’s easy for me to get caught up in outrage, ranting at Apple’s decisions to exclude MagSafe or raise prices. But for people who don’t use magnetic accessories or who finance their smartphones over a two-year period, those might be non-issues. What bothered me most as I was reviewing the iPhone 16e wasn’t its slow wireless charging speed or the notch atop the display — it was ultimately the solo camera sensor. Anyone coming from the iPhone 11 and up will likely miss the ultrawide option, even if the iPhone 16e’s 48MP sensor is a genuine improvement. Whether the iPhone 16e is a good purchase for you ultimately depends on how much those limitations bother you. If you don’t care about MagSafe, taking photos or the principle that you could save hundreds of dollars on a better Android phone, the iPhone 16e makes sense.

No, it doesn't get all of the features found on the iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Pro but if things such as Camera Control and MagSafe don't really bother you then this is a solid device to consider. What you do get is a beautifully made phone that is built for the future and the next generation of Apple Intelligence updates. There's no question that the iPhone 16 line-up is now one of the best and most expansive Apple has ever introduced, but it also makes choosing the right model tougher than ever. You can't go wrong with any of these iPhone models and the iPhone 16e's lower price makes it seriously tempting. Just be aware that its lower cost means fewer features. You'll need to decide what really matters to you and what compromises you are prepared to make.

It comes with Apple Intelligence, an incredibly long battery life and the A18 chip—making it a future-proof iPhone for the coming years. However, there are also compromises: The lack of MagSafe restricts the use of accessories, the lack of an ultra-wide-angle lens is noticeable in the camera, and savings were made on features such as UWB and Wi-Fi 7. It's also worth taking a look at the iPhone 15, which is often cheaper and doesn't make any compromises in some areas (e.g. display)—but then comes without Apple Intelligence on board. However, if you want the latest Apple features and top battery life, the iPhone 16e is a smart choice—even if you have to make compromises here and there.

At this point, Apple is aiming to make sure a majority of its products can support AI, and that means we’ll need to wait and see where the prices end up in a few years.

Apple has finally updated the design, it has better battery life, a more modern camera, a faster processor, plus more RAM and storage. The only problem is that as well as a massive overhaul, the iPhone 16e is also a lot more expensive than the previous model, with prices starting at £599 for the 128GB phone, rising £100 for the 256GB model and another £100 for the 512GB phone. With rivals such as the Pixel 8a starting at £499, that’s a bit of an ask.

Kommentar
Modell:
Das iPhone 16e ist Apples neues Einsteigermodell, das sich weniger an Technikbegeisterte richtet, sondern eher an diejenigen, die an älteren iPhones wie dem iPhone 8 Plus oder dem iPhone X festhalten. Es ist zwar ein klarer Fortschritt in Sachen Leistung und Batterielaufzeit, aber wenn man bedenkt, was ihm im Vergleich zu ähnlich teuren oder sogar älteren iPhones fehlt, wird sein Wert fraglich. Das iPhone 16e bleibt mit seinem 6,1-Zoll-OLED-Display, das von Apples älterem Ceramic Glass und nicht von der stärkeren Version des iPhone 16 geschützt wird, auf vertrautem Terrain. Es verzichtet auf trendige Funktionen wie das Dynamic Island und kehrt zur klassischen Aussparung zurück. Der Bildschirm ist hell genug für den Außeneinsatz, aber er ist auf eine Bildwiederholrate von 60 Hz beschränkt, was sich im Vergleich zu den 90- oder 120-Hz-Displays der meisten Android-Konkurrenten in dieser Preisklasse träge anfühlt. Unter der Haube wird das iPhone 16e vom A18-Chip angetrieben, der fast identisch mit dem im iPhone 16 ist, aber einen GPU-Kern weniger hat. In der Praxis ist der Unterschied minimal, Spiele wie Genshin Impact und Assassin's Creed Mirage laufen flüssig, obwohl gelegentlich Ruckler bei anspruchsvollen Szenen auftreten. Dieser Chip unterstützt auch Apple Intelligence, den neuesten KI-Vorstoß des Unternehmens, einschließlich eines überarbeiteten Siri und Genmoji. Allerdings fühlen sich diese Funktionen noch nicht ganz ausgereift an, mit langsamen Reaktionen und inkonsistenten Ergebnissen. Dennoch ist das Telefon durch die Integration einigermaßen zukunftssicher für Benutzer, die Zugang zu Apples sich entwickelndem Software-Ökosystem haben möchten.
Bei der Batterielaufzeit kann das iPhone 16e wirklich glänzen. Obwohl es ein iPhone in Standardgröße ist, übertrifft es das iPhone 16 in Sachen Ausdauer. An durchschnittlichen Tagen mit Musik-, Navigations- und Kameranutzung hielt die Batterie durchgehend bis zum Schlafengehen mit über 30 % Restkapazität. Selbst bei intensiver Nutzung erreichte das Telefon eine Betriebszeit von bis zu neun Stunden, womit es viele Konkurrenten übertrifft. Diese beeindruckende Langlebigkeit ist teilweise dem neuen C1-Modem von Apple zu verdanken, dem ersten hauseigenen Konnektivitäts-Chip. Es unterstützt sub-6 5G, aber nicht mmWave und ist mit Wi-Fi 6 anstelle des neueren Wi-Fi 7 gekoppelt. Praxistests in New York City zeigten eine stabile Netzwerkleistung, wobei die langfristige Zuverlässigkeit des C1-Modems noch abzuwarten ist. Das iPhone 16e verfügt über eine einzelne Rückkamera mit einem 48-MP-Sensor, der jedoch nicht mit dem Sensor des iPhone 16 identisch ist. Die Pixelgröße ist kleiner, was eine geringere Lichtempfindlichkeit bedeutet, aber die allgemeine Fotoqualität ist solide. Im Vergleich zum Pixel 8A sind die Bilder bei guten Lichtverhältnissen schärfer, leiden aber mehr bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen und bewegungsintensiven Szenarien. Die Selfie-Kamera arbeitet zuverlässig, aber das Fehlen eines Ultraweitwinkel- oder Teleobjektivs ist bei diesem Preis eine Einschränkung. Besonders hervorzuheben ist das Fehlen von MagSafe und des Ultrabreitband-Chips (UWB). Damit entfallen Annehmlichkeiten wie magnetisches Laden, schnelleres kabelloses Laden und präzise AirTag-Tracking-Funktionen, die seit dem iPhone 12 zum Standard gehören. Durch ihren Ausschluss fühlt sich das iPhone 16e veraltet an, obwohl es brandneu ist. Das iPhone 16e ist ein solides, zuverlässiges iPhone mit ausgezeichneter Batterielaufzeit und ordentlicher Leistung. Aber in seiner Preisklasse fühlt es sich wie eine verpasste Gelegenheit an.

Apple A18 GPU: Die A18 GPU integriert 5 Kerne, Hardware Raytracing und Mesh Support und positioniert sich zwischen der alten A16 GPU und der schnelleren A17 Pro GPU.
Diese Klasse ist noch durchaus fähig neueste Spiele flüssig darzustellen, nur nicht mehr mit allen Details und in hohen Auflösungen. Besonders anspruchsvolle Spiele laufen nur in minimalen Detailstufen, wodurch die grafische Qualität oft deutlich leidet. Diese Klasse ist nur noch für Gelegenheitsspieler empfehlenswert. Der Stromverbrauch von modernen Grafikkarten in dieser Klasse ist dafür geringer und erlaubt auch bessere Akkulaufzeiten.
