Editorial report
Apple iPhone 16e 8 GB / 128 GB / International technical sheet
The iPhone 16e suits buyers who want a compact, light phone with broad connectivity, but it makes two clear trade-offs: the display runs at 60 Hz and its 4005 mAh battery is among the weakest capacities of its time. This version has 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold as 8 GB / 256 GB and 8 GB / 512 GB.
The body weighs 167 g, measures 7,8 mm thick and has IP68 protection. Its 6.1″ OLED display delivers 460 ppi, among the best pixel densities of its time. Peak brightness of 1200 nits is typical, while 60 Hz is among the weakest refresh rates. The Apple A18 and an AnTuTu score of 1,401,105 place performance better than most phones of its time.
Connectivity is a major strength, with 5G, eSIM, NFC and satellite connectivity. The rear camera combines 48 MP, an f/1.6 aperture and optical image stabilization: the aperture is among the best, but the 1/2.55″ sensor and resolution are worse than most, and there is no optical zoom. The battery provides 41 h per cycle and supports 7,5 W wireless charging, yet its capacity is among the weakest. The overall NeoScore is 6.7: strong performance and connectivity, but it is expensive for what it is.
