The iPhone 16e will be available in Austria from the end of February at a starting price of 709 euros, making it 250 euros cheaper than the iPhone 16. The version with 512 GB of storage will be offered for 1,089 euros.

iPhone 16e: Face Recognition, In-House 5G Modem, and Apple Intelligence

In the current models, FaceID face recognition replaces the home button with a fingerprint sensor, which is no longer present in the 16e. According to Apple, the in-house modem for connecting to the mobile network is particularly energy-efficient and extends battery life. A charge lasts up to 12 hours longer than the previously cheapest model, the iPhone SE. The company has been working for years to develop its own 5G modems to replace technology from the chip company Qualcomm. Like the SE, the 16e has only one camera lens. However, since the sensor has 48 megapixels, it can be zoomed in for a telephoto effect. Like other models in the new iPhone series, the 16e is ready for the AI features of "Apple Intelligence," which are expected to be introduced in German in April.
