Display and Design Upgrades

Apple's iPhone 16E features a 6.1-inch OLED display compared to the 4.7-inch LCD on 2022 iPhone SE. The iPhone 16E eliminates the home button, replacing Touch ID with Face ID, and introduces a USB-C port instead of Apple's proprietary Lightning connector.

Camera Comparison

The iPhone 16E boasts a 48MP main camera, a significant leap from the 12MP sensor on the iPhone SE. The front camera has also improved, offering a 12MP sensor instead of the SE’s 7MP, enabling better selfies and video calls.

Performance and Battery Life

With Apple's latest A18 chip and Apple Intelligence support, the iPhone 16E is a powerhouse compared to the SE’s A15 Bionic. Battery life sees a major boost as well, with the iPhone 16E providing up to 26 hours of video playback compared to the SE's 15 hours.

Price and Value Proposition

The iPhone 16E starts at $599, whereas the SE launched at $429. With upgraded display technology, better cameras, improved battery life, and a more powerful processor, the iPhone 16E justifies its higher price, though the SE remains a solid budget-friendly choice.
