Apple has just unleashed its newest smartphone model: the iPhone 16e. And now that a date for pre-orders has been announced, T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile are among the first to start accepting interested individuals. 

The iPhone 16e is an affordable addition to its iPhone 16 lineup that it released September 2024. This time, the base model starts at $599 for the 128GB model and includes a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display. The device is powered by the A18 chip, which includes a 6-core CPU and 4-core GPU, optimized for Apple Intelligence. 

The iPhone 16e is available in black and white and includes a customizable Action Button. Its 48-megapixel Fusion camera system supports high-resolution photos and 4K video recording at 60 frames per second. Battery life has been significantly improved, offering up to six hours more than the iPhone 11 and twelve hours more than previous iPhone SE models.
