A recent report claims the iPhone 16e is a sales success in its first days, much to Apple's delight. More details here.

Both the iPhone SE and iPhone 16E have aluminum frames, with the larger size of the 16E giving it a bit more weight: 167 grams, versus the SE's 144g. The iPhone SE has an IP67 rating for water resistance, while the 16E bumps that to an IP68 rating. The iPhone SE comes in black, white and Product RED. The iPhone 16E comes in black and white.

Apple Inc.’s iPhone 16e is outpacing initial sales of the third-generation iPhone SE released a few years ago, but won’t be enough to reverse a China slide, according to analyst firm IDC.

The iPhone 16e is a whole new class of affordable iPhone, offering a broadly feature-complete modern iPhone experience for less money. It's more expensive than the outgoing iPhone SE, but you're getting a lot more for that extra money.

Apple's iPhone 16e isn't as affordable as the previous iPhone SE series, but it does come with some pretty promising specs
