iPhone 16e review: The best features of iPhone 16 at fraction of price

The 599 iPhone 16e is the latest in Apple 's 'budget' smartphone line.

At 200 cheaper than the iPhone 16, it has all the best features of the flagship.

The 48MP Fusion camera allows for stunning high-resolution photos, while an integrated 2x Telephoto lets you zoom in on objects without a second lens.

Despite being the cheapest of Apple 's devices, the battery life is even better on the cheaper option - ideal if you're sick of constantly having to keep your charger at hand.

The iPhone 16e is built with Apple 's AI software, Apple Intelligence , which opens the door to a range of impressive tools.

Emoji fans can create custom characters with Memoji , while photographers can tweak their snaps with the Clean Up tool.

Apple Intelligence is essentially a snazzy brand name for Apple 's new-found focus on AI , triggered by the success of ChatGPT.

Clean Up lets users remove 'distracting objects' from the background of a photo.

Image Playground lets users create fun images in seconds , choosing from three styles - Animation, Illustration and Sketch .

Movie Memories picks out the best photos and videos based on a users description and arranges it all into a movie with its own narrative arc.
