It supports advanced gaming features like hardware-accelerated ray tracing. Apart from this, this chip has a 16-core neural engine, which enables machine learning (ML) models to run faster and provides support for Apple Intelligence.
The design of Apple’s iPhone 16e is similar to the iPhone 14. It has a notch at the top of the display, in which Face ID sensors are integrated. The phone has a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED panel.
Speaking of cameras, the iPhone 16e boasts a 48MP single fusion camera with two telephoto settings. The business claims that it can capture 4K footage at up to 60 frames per second in Dolby Vision. In addition, it enables spatial audio video recording, giving customers the finest possible audio experience on compatible devices like Apple Vision Pro and AirPods.
Originally introduced in the iPhone 15 Pro models, Apple has included the Action Button into the new iPhone 16e. Additionally, the Visual Intelligence function with Apple Intelligence will now be accessible through this button.
