If youre still looking for the Everything iPhone, youll naturally find it in the $1,000iPhone 16 Pro.
Thefresh, spanking new $600 iPhone 16eis the next entry-level Apple equipment to promote access to Apple Intelligence.
But, yes, Apple has packed more features into this sequel tothe iPhone SEthan ever before.

Its packing a full, 6.1-inch OLED (AKA, the Super Retina XDR) display.
Gone is the old TouchID button; in its place is a notch with a camera that supports FaceID.
That means Apple wont sell all those colorful cases with any MagSafe attachment point.

At the very least, it will use a USB-C port.
Say goodbye to Lightning.
I had hoped Apple would include it on the new not- special edition, but theres no such luck.

Instead, theres the old notch, back again to eat a chunk out of the OLED display.
Theres one extra physical button missing on the iPhone 16e: Camera Control.
This trigger can open up the Camera app and let you take pictures.

An additional capacitive function lets you swap through different camera parameters without tapping the screen.
iOS 18.2 also added the promised DSLR-like shutter function to lock exposure and focus on a subject.
Apple advertises that this sensor allows for 12 MP and 2x telephoto shots.
However, it can record Spatial Audio.
However, the documentation notes that the A18 on the 16e lacks one less GPU core than the 16.
What does this mean in practice?
It has NFC, satellite connectivity, and an all-new in-house modem, so its not a big loss.

I need Apple to blink once for yes and twice for no, because it’s getting weird.
