With the device available from the 28th of February and pre-orders starting from Friday 21st February 2025, many of the biggest networks in the UK are keen to include themselves in the conversation.

Should you buy the iPhone 16e?
The iPhone 16e replaces the outgoing iPhone SE in offering a more budget-conscious option for iPhone fans. The model has undergone a pretty significant redesign this time out, which means it looks more like the rest of the range than ever before.
It's not just a facelift, either. The model packs in an A18 chip, which is the same as you'd find in the base model iPhone 16. That offers enough power to run Apple Intelligence – the brand's suite of AI-powered features.
It's also the first to feature the new Apple C1 modem. That's a new chip for the brand, and looks set to offer improved efficiency, which should give greater battery life.
It does sacrifice one of the cameras from the base model, though Apple has done a lot with the single rear sensor to make up for it. The 48MP sensor uses a crop-zoom to offer 2x shots with a cool 12MP resolution at an equivalent focal length of 52mm.
You'll also lose features like the Dynamic Island and the Camera Capture button, which can be found on the more costly models. Still, if those aren't crucial for you, it's a great option, which could save you some money, too.
