Apple's new entry-level iPhone 16e features the powerful A18 SoC, a great OLED display, and Apple AI features. However, it brings back the notch, has only one rear camera, and lacks MagSafe. If Apple Intelligence isn't a priority (why should it be?), the iPhone 15 costs just $100 more.
The big picture: Apple has introduced a redesigned version of its entry-level iPhone that is also debuting new branding. The iPhone 16e is based on the flat-edge design that Apple reintroduced with the iPhone 12 and comes packed with modern hardware and software capabilities – but at a price point that significantly increases the cost of entry compared to the old SE.
The new Powerbeats Pro 2, powered by Apple's H2 SoC, feature a heart-rate sensor, ANC, spatial audio and adaptive EQ. With up to 10 hours of battery life, they work well with both iOS and Android. However, the heart-rate sensor is limited to iOS at launch, and the price remains high.
