The iPhone 16e is Apple's budget iPhone, but its $599 price doesn't always scream affordable. Fortunately, one retailer is slashing its price ahead of Labor Day.
For a limited time, StraightTalk has the iPhone 16e on sale for $549. In order to get this offer, you’ll need to activate your phone on StraightTalk's Gold Unlimited plan or higher.
At 549, the iPhone 16e can’t be beat. Even though it has one of the simplest camera systems around, that the single 48MP camera on the back of the phone offers excellent performance for all sorts of conditions. We were particularly surprised by its low light performance, which is a huge improvement over the previous iPhone SE (2022).
Another thing you should know about the iPhone 16e is that it has the same Apple Intelligence features as the rest of the iPhone 16 models. In fact, you're able to access Visual Intelligence via the Action Button to search stuff with the camera.
It’s also powered by the same A18 chip found in the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, so its just as responsive with most things. This also helps out in the battery life department, where the iPhone 16e achieves a time of 12 hours and 41 minutes on Tom’s Guide’s battery benchmark test — and that’s a huge improvement over the 7 hours and 38 minutes achieved by the iPhone SE (2022).
$50 off may seem minor, but it helps make Apple's iPhone more affordable than ever.
