Coming in early April. iPhone 16e is built for Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system that helps you write, express yourself and get things done effortlessly. Create your own emoji, edit a photo with Clean Up, and more. With groundbreaking privacy protections, it gives you peace of mind that no one else can access your data not even Apple.
Boost your productivity
- Writing Tools can proofread your text and rewrite different versions until the tone and wording are just right, and summarise selected text with a tap. They’re available nearly everywhere you write, including third‑party apps. You can even describe a change, like "make this dinner invitation more welcoming"
- Priority messages in Mail elevate time-sensitive messages to the top of your inbox like an invitation that has a deadline today or a check-in reminder for your flight this afternoon
- Just hit record in the Notes or Phone app to capture audio recordings and transcripts. Apple Intelligence generates summaries of your transcripts, so you can get the most important info at a glance
Express yourself visually
A new era for Siri
- With all‑new superpowers, Siri can assist you like never before. With a double-tap on the bottom of your iPhone screen, you can type to Siri from anywhere in the system when you don’t want to speak out loud
- Richer language understanding and an enhanced voice make communicating with Siri even more natural. For example, if you stumble over your words, Siri still knows what you’re getting at
- Not sure how to do something on iPhone, like set a text message to send later? With expansive product knowledge, Siri can give you step‑by‑step instructions in a flash
Great powers come with great privacy
Apple Intelligence is designed to protect your privacy at every step. It’s integrated into the core of iPhone through on‑device processing. So it’s aware of your personal information without collecting your personal information. And with groundbreaking Private Cloud Compute, Apple Intelligence can draw on larger Apple‑designed server‑based models, running on Apple silicon, to handle more complex requests for you while protecting your privacy.

The redesigned 48MP Fusion camera has the capabilities of two cameras in one.

The integrated 2x Telephoto lets you zoom in with optical quality. Plus you can shoot incredible 4K video in Dolby Vision with high-quality audio that makes it sound as good as it looks. iPhone 16e has the same great resolution as all iPhone 16 models.

iPhone 16e reduces unwanted wind noise — so you’ll be able to hear people in your videos with clear audio, even if it was gusty when you were recording.
Audio Mix - Make your voice heard
Audio Mix lets you adjust the way voices sound in your videos using three different voice options. Want to decrease background sound? Or just focus on the voices that are in frame? Simply select the mix and adjust intensity to get the sound you want after capturing video.
Pause and record - Film multiple scenes in one shot
Tap the Record button to start taking a video, then tap the Pause button. Tap Record again to resume recording and repeat as needed. The final video will have everything you wanted to capture, and nothing you didn’t.
