Apple’s Entry-Level iPhone is launched this Friday. Earlier, the first review of the device was shared by selected media outlets and YouTube channels.
The iPhone is one of the 16th features, face ID, an A 18 chip, Apple Intelligence Support, a USB-C port, an action button and a single 48-megapixel rear camera that provides 2X zoom with optical-national quality. The device is also equipped with the Apple-Diesine C1 modem for 5G and LTE connection.
According to Apple, Power-Saksh C1 Modem and a Greater Battery iPhone Contribute to 16E, providing the longest battery life of any 6.1-inch iPhone model according to Apple. The company’s tech spaces say that the iPhone 16 is regularly offers 26 hours battery life for offline video playback compared to up to 22 hours for iPhone 16.
Unfortunately, the iPhone does not support 16E Magsaffe. It doesn’t even have an ultra wideband chip, which gives strength the feature of the correct search in the Find My application. Also, the 18-chip of the iPhone 16E has a 4-core GPU, regularly iPhone 16-Core GPU vs.
In the United States, the iPhone starts 16th $ 599. Is it worth it? Many reviewers think so, however, the lack of Magsph on the device is surprised and frustrating. There are several factors that you can consider buying a regular iPhone 16 instead of a regular iPhone 16 instead of Wi-Fi 7 instead of Magsaf, The Dynamic Island, the Dynamic Island, Wi-Fi 6, but otherwise the iPhone 16 still provides many modern features at more modern prices. For the average customer, the iPhone 16 is a perfectly subtle choice.
Many features of the iPhone 16E already exist, so our review Roundup is focusing on new and significant aspects, including Roundup C1 modem, battery life, decreased 4-core GPU, with a lack of graphics performance and magSf.
Review highlights
C1 modem
Apple wants to move away from Qualcomm models on the iPhone and that transformation begins with its custom-design C1 modem on the iPhone 16E.
VirzAllison Johnson said that he did not see any continuous differences in performance between C1 modem and regular iPhone 16 with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X71 modem:
Most of the 16th is known, but here is a whole new element: Apple’s C1 modem. It is the first presence of it, and the road to Apple’s first in-house modem is reported to be pushed and delayed. I used to call it facetime for the past week, upload large video files in the crowd and stream YouTube on the bus. I tested it in addition to a regular iPhone 16 as well as a Qualcomm-Tairi modem-as well as the Verizon, and I did not see any continuous difference between the performance between the two.
Tom’s guideIts John Velasco does not seem to notice any big differences:
And finally, you should know that the iPhone is the first device of the 16th Apple Portfolio that features the company’s in-house C1 modem. It is difficult to say whether Apple now depends on the Qualcomm modem, which is now dependent on the year after year, but it eventually provides 5G speed. I have tested the speed in both the iPhone 16 and 16E in three separate places in New York City, only one test shows the speed with the iPhone 16 e.
Apple says that C1 is already the most powerful iPhone modem so far.
Apple has repeatedly stated that the C1 modem is simply the beginning. In a press release this week, focusing on US production commitment, Apple heavily implies that it will publish additional devices, including custom 5G modem in the future. These devices may include iPhone 17 Air, iPad 11, Future Mac and Vision Pro model and more.
Battery life
Apple says that the iPhone 16 is the longest battery life of any 6.1 inch iPhone model.
Tom’s guide Keep it in the exam:
In the case of Tom’s guide battery benchmark test, the iPhone 16E is on average 12 hours 41 minutes. This is a few minutes less than 43 minutes of average of the iPhone 16. However, the best time recorded on both phones is 12 hours for iPhone 16E and 49 minutes and 13 hours and 19 minutes with iPhone 16.
According to Dave Lee of the YouTube channel Dave 2D, the iPhone 16 is equipped with a 3,961 mAh battery. Regular iPhone 16’s 3,561 mAh batteries It increases 11% of capacity.
A18 chip with 4-core GPU
The iPhone 16E, A 18 chip has a 4-core GPU. IPhone 16, it has a 5-core GPU.
This is not a huge concern, but it seems to have made any difference.
CNETPatrick Holland:
In the benchmark exam for graphic performance, you can really see the difference between the additional GPU Core iPhone 16E of iPhone 16.
Magsaf
Magsph lacking on iPhone 16E is surprised and frustrating.
CNETPatrick Holland:
The magnetic connection system on the back of the iPhone 16E phone does not have support for Magsaf, which is not the end of the world. I imagine that people who don’t have an iPhone with Magsaf don’t know what they are missing – Notice a theme here? However, in a family shared with Magsaf with the iPhone as well as the charging stands I could see that it was a bit annoying.
All iPhone is known to 12 models, the Magsaf system allows you to attach a charger, battery pack and other accessories on the back of the iPhone. A set of magnetic inside the iPhone safely hold these accessories in place.
Apple did not explain why the feature on the iPhone 16E is missing, though it has confirmed that the lack of Magsph is not related to the C1 modem.
Only the other iPhone model was the third generation iPhone SE without Magsaf since 2020, but there was an old design based on that device’s iPhone 8.
Apple’s announcement video for iPhone 16th says that the device has a new interior design that allows for larger batteries. It is likely that these internal changes have led to a lack of magSaf, but this is another unsupported theory.
Apple has not released any Magsaf case for the iPhone 16E, but third -party cases have already begun to roll out. These cases allow you to use the iPhone 16E with Magsaf accessories, but note that the device is limited to slow wireless charging speed with ordinary QI chargers, other iPhone 16 models can charge up to 25W with a new version of Apple’s Magsph Charger.
