iPhone 16e launched in India, Apple aims for performance-focused refresh | Check price and specifications

This is history repeating itself, and Qualcomm may be feeling what Intel did in November 2020 when Apple released the M1 chip. In about a year’s time, the elaborate Mac and iPad portfolios all switched to Apple Silicon, and Intel lost the Mac business for good. With good reason too, as the M-series chips set various benchmarks, including performance per watt. The Apple iPhone 16e, a truly compact iPhone (the iPhone SE was released in 2022 and the iPhone 13 mini in 2021), begins the era of Apple’s own cellular modem. The C1 modem replaces Qualcomm’s chips in the iPhone 16e, which will be priced starting from ₹59,900.
