The iPhone 16e's A18 chip makes everything from scrolling through photos to creating images with Apple Intelligence run fast and smooth. And with the 4-core GPU, even the most demanding mobile games play effortlessly and come to life through blazing-fast graphics. All with incredible efficiency for super-sized battery life (up to 26 hours of video playback or 90 hours of audio playback).
iPhone 16e has a wide range of accessibility features, including VoiceOver, Zoom, Magnifier, Spoken Content, Voice Control, Siri, and Vocal Shortcuts. You can turn VoiceOver on as soon as your iPhone powers up, by triple-clicking the side button on the device, to help with setting up your device. You can also double-tap the screen with three fingers to turn on Zoom.
iPhone 16e is built for Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system that helps you write, express yourself, and get things done effortlessly. Create your own emoji, edit a photo with Clean Up, and more. With groundbreaking privacy protections, no one else can access your data – not even Apple.
Use visual intelligence through the Action button or Control Center to instantly learn about objects and places you see. Just point your iPhone 16e to discover more or interact with something in front of you. Pull up reviews of a restaurant you pass, search for where to buy a new item you spotted, and more.
Designed to be robust, the iPhone 16e screen uses Ceramic Shield technology – which is tougher than iPhone glass, scratch-resistant and better able to withstand being dropped – and is water-resistant to a depth of six meters for 30 minutes (and dust-resistant too).
The iPhone 16e is 5G capable, has a crystal-clear Super Retina XDR display, and has Face ID so you can securely unlock your device and even use Apple Pay for contactless payment or online shopping, with just a glance.
Designed to have a long battery life, you can recharge it on a wireless charger, or connect it to a 20W fast-charge adapter to go from zero to 50 percent in 30 minutes.
