The rumors were true - the iPhone SE is dead. The latest member of the line isn't called that anymore, so as to not be perceived as a lesser model (BMW 1 Series, anyone?). Thus, a new member has joined the iPhone 16 family - meet the iPhone 16e.

"e" for "economical"? Perhaps, although as usual the EU is getting the bitter end of the pricing stick. We'll get to that later. For now, let's describe all the amazing innovations that Apple has packed into its latest cheaper iPhone. And it all starts with - you guessed it - support for Apple Intelligence.

iPhone 16e is official with A18 chip, single rear camera, and Apple's first in-house modem
It's there, and the iPhone 14 doesn't have it, so that should be reason enough to pick this iPhone 14 lookalike over the iPhone 14 itself. You do however lose one rear camera in the process, because the cheap iPhone still needs to be easily discernible from afar as the cheap iPhone.

The iPhone 16e is powered by the A18 chip, and has a 48 MP "2-in-1 camera system", Apple says. It's just one camera though, no way around that. Still, it can do lossless 2x zoom, as per Apple's claims.
