As part of the ongoing Great Summer Sale on Amazon, the base iPhone 16e (review) with 128 GB of internal storage is available for Rs 53,999. Users can also get an additional discount of up to Rs 1,250 by using HDFC Bank credit cards. This makes the iPhone 16e almost Rs 6,000 cheaper than its launch price of Rs 59,900. It also remains the most affordable iPhone with Apple Intelligence.
Even the iPhone 15, which lacks Apple Intelligence, costs Rs 58,999, while the iPhone 16, the second most affordable iPhone with Apple Intelligence, starts at Rs 69,999.
If you are in the market for a new iPhone with the latest software and AI experience and don’t mind a device with a 60Hz display, a dated notch and a single rear camera, the iPhone 16e is a good pick. It’s also the first Apple device to feature an in-house 5G modem. The phone offers 128 GB of internal storage and 8 GB RAM, and it also has an action button like the rest of the iPhone 16 lineup, however, it does misses out on camera control.
The iPhone 16e includes features like a USB-C port for charging, supports wireless charging, and offers excellent battery life. It’s not the fastest-charging phone, nor does it have the biggest battery, especially compared to similarly priced Android smartphones. However, it delivers a solid software experience, and its performance will remain excellent for years.
At its current price, the iPhone 16e becomes as accessible as some of the affordable Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered Android flagships like the iQOO 13 and the realme GT 7 Pro. While its hardware may not match that of the aforementioned devices, the A18 chip powering the iPhone 16e is highly capable, making it the only phone in the segment that can handle proper AAA titles. The iPhone 16e remains an affordable option to enter into the Apple ecosystem.
