Apple iPhone 16e 128GB brings a 6.1-inch display, 128 gigabytes of storage, and the A18 chip into one unlocked phone sold by Best Buy, while Apple lists a starting price of $599 and up to 26 hours of video playback.
Display And Core Hardware
Apple's product page lists a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display, an A18 chip with a 4-core GPU, and 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage options. Best Buy's specs for the white unlocked model also list a 6.1-inch screen, 128 gigabytes of built-in storage, and the A18 chip.
The same Apple page says the phone includes an aluminum frame, an Action button, and USB-C charging cable in the box. It also says the device uses USB-C and supports USB 2.
Camera And Battery Claims
Apple describes a 48MP Fusion Main camera in a 2-in-1 camera system, plus optical zoom options of 1x and 2x. Best Buy adds that the front camera is 12MP and that the phone offers up to 26 hours of video playback.
Compared with iPhone 17, Apple lists a 6.1-inch display and USB 2 on iPhone 16e, while iPhone 17 gets a 6.3-inch display and also uses USB 2. Compared with iPhone 17 Pro, the 16e skips ProMotion, Always-On display, Dynamic Island, and Camera Control.
