Apple’s new model, the iPhone 16e, has entered its first teardown test conducted by REWA Technology. Although its exterior is quite similar to the iPhone 14, there are some striking innovations in the interior design. So what innovations are we talking about? Details in our news…
iPhone 16e teardown process completed: Battery capacity and details clarified!
In fact, one of the biggest differences of the iPhone 16e model is that it has a single camera on the back. While the iPhone 14 and other standard iPhone models use a main + ultra-wide-angle dual camera, this model only has the main camera. The reduction of the camera module has allowed Apple to increase the battery capacity.
It has been confirmed that the 16e model uses a battery exceeding the 4,000 mAh limit for the first time. The iPhone 16e’s battery has a capacity of 4,005 mAh. This is a first among Apple’s non-Plus or Max models. For comparison, here are the battery capacities of some current models:
- iPhone 15 – 3,349 mAh
- iPhone 16 – 3,561 mAh
- iPhone 16 Plus – 4,674 mAh
- iPhone 16 Pro Max – 4,685 mAh
On the other hand, the iPhone 16e sees the first use of Apple’s own C1 modem. This modem has not yet been fully tested to see how efficient it is compared to Qualcomm’s modems. The layout of the internal components is very similar to the iPhone 15, but a new electric current release mechanism has been added to make it easier to replace the battery.
In short, Apple has come up with a larger battery and a simplified camera system in the 16e. The increase in battery capacity will significantly extend daily usage time. However, it is a matter of curiosity how sufficient the single-camera system is in terms of performance.
Do you think the single-camera design of the iPhone 16e can provide a balance between battery life and price? Is Apple’s switch to its own modem an advantage or a risk in terms of connection performance? You can write your opinions in the comments section below…
