The iPhone 16e is priced starting at $599 for 128GB of storage, and it is now Apple’s cheapest iPhone option, even in countries like India where more affordable iPhones often sell well.
The now-discontinued iPhone SE started at $429, so it has become $170 more expensive to get an entry-level iPhone.
Apple raised the price of the iPhone 16e because it has a modern design, more expensive A18 chip with Apple Intelligence support, an Action Button, Face ID, and a higher starting storage. The increase in cost will improve Apple’s average iPhone selling price, but it could put the device out of range of some customers.
Here is Apple’s new pricing lineup, with the iPhone 16e included:
- iPhone 16e – Starting at $599
- iPhone 15 – Starting at $699
- iPhone 15 Plus – Starting at $799
- iPhone 16 – Starting at $799
- iPhone 16 Plus – Starting at $899
- iPhone 16 Pro – Starting at $999
- iPhone 16 Pro Max – Starting at $1,099
The iPhone 16e is available for pre-order on Friday, with a launch to follow on February 28.
