Apple unveiled the iPhone 16e last week, a $599 mid-range phone that looks like an iPhone 14 but has the performance of an iPhone 16. That is, you get the notch design of the former with the high-end specs of the latter, along with Apple Intelligence and other new features.
The rear camera is one compromise, as you only get a single-lens rear setup. However, that's a 48-megapixel camera on par with the other iPhone 16 models. I'm mentioning the camera because it's a very important consideration when buying a new phone. However, it's also related to the phone's battery life.
With a single-lens camera on the back, you'd expect Apple to use the extra space inside the phone to bump the battery capacity and improve battery life, especially considering the fact that battery life was a key topic during the iPhone 16e announcement.
Good news: the iPhone 16e has the best battery life of any 6.1-inch iPhone, including the main iPhone 16. That's simply amazing, as Apple's battery life quotes are unreal. I think battery life might make the iPhone 16e a great device for older users who don't need all the bells and whistles of a modern phone. Also, it's great for young teens who are finally ready to be trusted with a brand-new device rather than a used model.
Now that the iPhone 16e reviews are out, we have real-life tests that reveal the handset's battery capacity and performance. These stats make the iPhone 16e the best phone to buy your mom, dad, young kid, and anyone in the family who could use a brand-new mid-range phone. That is, as long as you're willing to spend $599 or more.
