Apple has just introduced the iPhone 16e, the newest addition to the iPhone 16 lineup, and the internet is already having a field day. Marketed as the spiritual successor to the iPhone SE 3 (2020), the 16e promises modern design and updated features- without the premium price tag of its more expensive siblings. The iPhone 16e is priced at $599 (Rs 59900).
While the iPhone 16e and iPhone 16 share a similar design, Apple has once again given budget-conscious fans something to cheer about and meme. The launch has unleashed a wave of online reactions, from excitement and scepticism to the inevitable “just buy an Android” takes.
A user wrote, “So, basically 16 with a worse camera and 1 less GPU core. I wonder how much most people care about either.”
Another user commented, “Damn, $599 is a decent price bump, but I guess my company will be paying so I shouldn’t care. I wonder if the iPhone 17 will get a price bump too.”
“Anything apple is expensive, but this iPhone 16e is absurdity even for apple pricing,” a user wrote on X.
As usual, Android users are lurking in the comments, sipping their coffee and delivering their usual hot takes.
“Get a samsung s25 instead. Not worth the money for this brick,” another Android user wrote on X.
