Apple has announced a new iPhone called the iPhone 16e. It has artificial intelligence features like its more expensive models but costs less. The iPhone 16e has the same powerful chip as the bigger iPhone 16 but fewer cameras.
The phone will be available for pre-order on February 21 in 59 countries. In the UK, it will cost £599, which is £200 less than the iPhone 16 but more than the original iPhone SE released in 2016.
The new phone is designed for Apple Intelligence, which includes tools for writing and using AI in Siri. Other phone companies have similar features, but the iPhone 16e is the cheapest option from Apple.
Experts believe the iPhone 16e will attract new customers to Apple and generate more revenue. This could be especially true in places like India where iPhones are expensive.
Overall, Apple hopes the iPhone 16e will excite customers and boost sales.
