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.

With a starting price of US$599 (RM2,999 locally), Apple Inc’s iPhone 16e is hardly a budget phone.

The iPhone 16e features a minimalist design with flat edges, a single rear camera, and a plain back with the Apple logo. While its clean aesthetic may appeal to many, if you're looking for a phone with a more unique design and better features at a lower price, the Nothing Phone 3a Pro might be worth considering.
