Apple's $600 iPhone 16e loses a few of the top iPhone features, like the ultrawide camera and MagSafe charging, but it's a solid budget-priced option.
The iPhone 16e offers a surprisingly capable single-camera experience with good image quality and computational features, though it falls short of Pro models in low light and zoom performance.
The iPhone 16E is a basic iPhone for unfussy people who want the cheapest new iPhone but don't need advanced features.
Apple's latest $599 iPhone isn't the best bang for your buck.
