One of the primary reasons the iPhone 16e is less expensive than the iPhone 16 is due to the differences in their camera systems. While both models feature a 48MP main camera, the iPhone 16 has a slightly larger sensor, which typically produces better image quality, particularly in low-light conditions.

Commentary: The iPhone 16E mashes together a few of Apple's prior phones to hit its lower price. Some of the choices for what to include are excellent, while others leave me puzzled.
