The new iPhone 16e is designed to get Apple Intelligence into as many hands as possible.

If you're happy with your current iPhone, meanwhile, don't feel like you have to make a change at all. But if you're ready to upgrade, allow us to help.

Before we dive in, note that we've based our guide on the MSRPs of new, unlocked iPhones on Apple.com. If you can find a heavy discount from another trusted retailer or a good deal on a refurbished model, that could always change the value equation.

Editor's Note (2/19/25): Apple just announced the newest and most affordable iPhone, the $599 iPhone 16e.
