The best iPhones
The wait is over — kind of. Apple’s iPhone 16 series is out, including the kinda affordable 16E, and its much-hyped Apple Intelligence has arrived courtesy of iOS 18.1. But if you’re expecting a new kind of iPhone experience, well, I have some bad news for you. The AI features introduced in iOS 18.1 and…

The 20 Settings You Need to Change on Your iPhone
Apple’s software design strives to be intuitive, but each iteration of iOS contains so many additions and tweaks that it’s easy to miss some useful iPhone settings. Apple focused on artificial intelligence when it unveiled iOS 18 in 2024, but there’s a lot under the hood that adds to the steady stream of intriguing customizations…

The Top New Features in Apple’s iOS 18 and iPadOS 18
Apple executives always describe new hardware and software as the “best” or “biggest” ever, but the delivery doesn’t usually live up to the hype (see last year’s iPads).

The Best MagSafe Power Banks for Your iPhone
Other MagSafe Power Banks to Consider Photograph: Simon Hill We like a few other MagSafe power banks that didn’t make it into our top picks. Scosche PBQ5MS2 Portable MagSafe Phone Charger for $45: Slim, decent magnets, four LEDs to show remaining power, and a wee USB-C cable in the box—so far, so familiar. There’s nothing…

Which MagSafe and Qi2 chargers are the best for your iPhone?
Wireless charging is less efficient than plugging in a wire, but it’s certainly convenient — especially when you add magnets. Most people who have an iPhone 12 or later (except the 16E) and want a magnetic charger should get a Qi2 charger. Any Qi2-certified charger will charge a MagSafe iPhone up to 15W — just…

The iPhone 16e is the perfect phone for your parents
Summary Apple’s iPhone 16e offers a premium feel with excellent camera capabilities and a snappy A18 chip. The iPhone 16e lacks key features like a higher refresh rate display and an ultra-wide lens.

iPhone 16e Vs Android Phone Benchmark Showdown: Testing Apple’s Mettle
Apple recently put its budget-minded iPhone SE lineup out to pasture while simultaneously increasing the cost floor of its historically $429 entry level smartphone lineup to a loftier $599 price point. The new baseline is the iPhone 16e, and it also marks the first time an iPhone has hit the market with the company’s own 5G…

Apple iPhone 16e review: An A18 chip and Apple Intelligence for $599 | TechCrunch
Apple delivered its latest budget handset, the $599 iPhone 16e, without pomp. There was no big event in person, nor was there one online. No journalists scrambled through hoards of colleagues to snap photos of the phone. Instead, CEO Tim Cook tweeted out that new hardware was on the way, days before Apple announced the…

The Apple iPhone 16e: No more fiscally friendly “SE” for thee (or me)
A new “entry level” iPhone Truthfully, I originally didn’t plan on covering the new iPhone 16e, Apple’s latest “entry-level” phone preceded by three generations worth of iPhone SE devices. I knew a fourth-generation offering was coming (and sooner vs later), since European regulations had compelled Apple to phase out the SEs’ proprietary Lightning connector in…
