01:10Apple's cheapest iPhone is here, the iPhone 16E, but is it really cheap?

01:25Not exactly.

01:26Its price starting Rs 59,900 in India, so about Rs 60,000.

01:31So not cheap.

01:32But it has a combination of new and old features and if you ask me, I think it has all the

01:38right new features.

01:40So if we compare it with the iPhone 16 or the rest of the 16 series, it has some of

01:45the very important features.

01:46For instance, the A18 chip, which powers the 16 series flagships.

01:51A18 chip also means that the iPhone 16E will have Apple intelligence and visual intelligence.

01:58Yes, there is no capture button like the iPhone 16 series, but what Apple is doing is they

02:02are mapping the visual intelligence on the action button.

02:07So when it will be available, which is April, Apple intelligence is going to officially

02:11roll out to India in April.

02:14You will be able to long press the action button to trigger visual intelligence.

02:20Now talking about the look and feel of the device, the rear panel, as you can see, is

02:25matte finish.

02:26It would actually remind you of the iPhone 7.

02:29Remember the matte black finish that we got then, it's very similar.

02:32It actually feels very soft and for a cheap, affordable iPhone, it also looks very premium.

02:40There is a single camera over here, yes, which uses a 48 megapixel camera, fusion camera,

02:46which is the same one used on the iPhone 16.

02:49However, the size of the sensor is smaller.

02:53What Apple has also done over here is what they're calling a two in one camera.

02:57So there is a 48 megapixel primary camera that you get.

03:01What they're also doing is they've used software to put in a telephoto, 2x telephoto zoom over here.

03:07They call it the optical quality zoom, but in reality, it's actually a digital zoom,

03:11which gives you an optical quality image.

03:14So when you use the camera on the 16E, you are able to click portrait shots, which are

03:19actually pretty decent and you are able to get good bokeh effects in a 2x zoom.

03:25Now if we come back, come to the edges, like I told you, there is an action button now.

03:29There is the standard, you have your volume rocker over here and there is a USB-C port.

03:36So no lightning port anymore, USB-C port, similar to the iPhone 16 series.

03:42Now coming back to the single camera over here, the two in one camera that Apple has

03:46spoken about, Apple says that has helped them squeeze in a bigger battery here.

03:52Apple actually says that the iPhone 16E has the biggest battery ever on a 6.1-inch iPhone,

04:00which really means that compared to the iPhone 14, 15, 16, you are getting a bigger battery

04:07on the 16E, but does it really last longer than the iPhone 16, for example, that we'll

04:14tell you in our detailed review, which will be coming very soon.

04:18Now on to the most exciting part of the iPhone 16E, because this would also be the only affordable

04:27or the cheapest iPhone to come with Apple Intelligence and Visual Intelligence.

04:32So what you get over here is AI integrated into several apps, which is actually system-wide.

04:39So you get Apple Intelligence features on the notes app, you get Apple Intelligence

04:43features on the messaging app.

04:45So how it really works is, for instance, if you use the messaging app, you can generate

04:52genmoji here.

04:53You can see here how I've created a genmoji of an elephant wearing a chef's hat.

05:00Now from here, you can move this image to maybe your notes app.

05:05Notes app will also let you use chat GPT to generate maybe a fictional story about this

05:12elephant with a chef's hat.

05:13I also got the chance to use Visual Intelligence feature on the iPhone 16E.

05:18Yes, it's not available right now.

05:20It will be available in April, but I was at an Apple event and I got a sneak peek into

05:25Visual Intelligence.

05:26So how it works is you long press the action button that triggers Visual Intelligence.

05:32So you, for instance, aim it at a flower.

05:34It will tell you what kind of a flower it is.

05:36It's actually pretty neat.

05:37There is also the image playground feature where you can do a combination of things.

05:42You can use multiple prompts to create more animated, give more character to an emoji.

05:48And of course, there is the AI cleanup tool that we've also used before in the past, but

05:53really cool that it's now on the iPhone 16E.

05:56So overall, if I talk about the iPhone 16E, I think, yes, it may not be really the cheap

06:03iPhone that we want it to be, but it is quite promising.

06:08And to see all these Apple Intelligence features, Visual Intelligence features coming to an

06:14iPhone that is their cheapest version, I think it is really something.

06:19I would really suggest we wait for some really good bank offers so that we can get a good

06:26deal on the 16E because if we're able to get it for somewhere around 45,000, I think it

06:30will be a good deal.

06:32But please wait for our full review on the 16E where we'll be letting you know if the

06:38device is really worth the money.

06:41Stay tuned.

06:42I'm Nandini.

06:43You're watching Fyber.

06:45Goodbye.
