What's the difference between the Apple iPhone 16 and 16e?

In addition to the standard lens, the iPhone 16 also has a wide-angle lens. You can capture avast landscape, a monumental building, or a large group of people. With the wide-angle lens, you can also take sharp macro photos. These are extreme close-ups of flowers and plants, for example. Finally, you can also take photos easily with the camera button on the iPhone 16. You can press it to take a photo, or swipe across it to zoom in.

The iPhone 16e has only 1 lens, the same 4-megapixel standard lens as. the iPhone 16. This allows you to take sharp and colorful photos, even in low light. You can zoom in 1 time without your photos becoming blurry. Because you don't have a wide-angle lens, large groups of people or buildings don't always fit in the photo. You control the camera by tapping on the screen, because you don't have a camera button. If you tap too hard, you'll get blurry photos.

The design and size of the iPhone 16 is very similar to that of the 16e, but it does have a couple of functions that the iPhone 16e doesn't have. Dynamic Island, for example. This is a small menu at the top of your screen that displays notifications and lets you control apps. This menu becomes small when you don't use it, so you don't have an annoying black part at the top of your screen. You can also control your iPhone 16 quickly with 2 buttons. You can take photos with the camera button. You decide what happens when you press the Action button. Open your favorite music app at the press of a button, for example.

The iPhone 16e is about the same size as the iPhone 16 and looks roughly the same. A large difference is that the iPhone 16e has a notch at the top of the screen. This means a part of your screen is always black. With Dynamic Island, you can use that black part of the screen to control Spotify or answer a call. This means you miss a bit of screen space. The iPhone 16e doesn't have the camera button, but it does have the Action button.
