Apple has been following a strategy that has been forwarded to further with software -supported improvements. The photographic styles feature offered with the iPhone 13 changed the settings such as tons, contrast and temperature during the photo shooting process, allowing more natural images to be obtained. With the iPhone 16 series, Apple has further improved this feature, allowing users to change the style even after taking photos. However, this update was not presented for the iPhone 16E, the affordable model of the series. Technically, the iPhone 16E is very close to the top models, although it comes with certain restrictions on the software side.
According to the information on Apple’s official comparison page, the new generation photographic styles are only available in the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models. Although the technical specifications of the iPhone 16e are mentioned, it is noteworthy that the phrase “New Generation” does not include the phrase “new generation”. This lack of expression shows that the iPhone 16e supports the old photographic styles offered only on the iPhone 13. Moreover, although the iPhone 16E, A18 chip and 48 MP main camera shares with the top models, it has been deprived of this feature. Apple’s choice is interpreted as the company’s conscious product segmentation policy.
Although the hardware of the iPhone 16E is strong, software restrictions draw attention
The fact that the iPhone 16E does not receive this important update can be directly associated with the company’s marketing strategies. In the past, Apple has led consumers to more expensive options by keeping certain camera and software features specially for high -end models. For example, Prograw and Prores video recording support were only available on Pro models. Similarly, the deprived of the iPhone 16E of the new generation of photographic styles is considered as part of Apple’s model differentiation strategy. However, the basic hardware components of the device have the potential to offer a very strong photo experience.
The underlying reasons for this decision may be commercial strategies rather than technical limitations. Apple can aim to increase interest in the top models by creating some software differences, especially in the input -level models. Although the iPhone 16e in terms of camera hardware is largely the same as the iPhone 16, Apple’s software -based restrictions seems to be a move in parallel with the brand’s long -term price segmentation strategy. In terms of users, the limitation of the potential offered by the hardware by the software may be disappointed. However, the general performance of the iPhone 16E still promises a strong experience.
On the other hand, with the iPhone 16 series, the photographic styles are even more advanced. Now the device stores the color, light and shadow data of the photos taken, allowing photographic styles to be applied during the post -shooting process. In this way, users can make changes later without going beyond the style they set while taking photos. This new functionality offered by Apple is considered an important step for professional photography. However, while the iPhone 16e is deprived of these features, there is no clear explanation as to why Apple made such a decision.
Apple’s new iPhone 16e model attracts attention not only with lack of photographic styles, but also with price-performance balance. The device is equipped with modern features such as 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID technology and USB-C port. In addition, thanks to the special 5G modem that Apple developed for the first time, it offers significant improvement in terms of energy efficiency. Apple, with its 16E model, appeals to its entry -level users, while bringing certain software limitations to make top models more attractive.
The pre -orders of the iPhone 16e will start on 21 February and the first deliveries will be made as of February 28th. The basic model of the device with 128 GB storage area will be available with a price tag of 47,999 TL. In addition, with 256 GB and 512 GB storage options, there will be two different color alternatives, black and white. Although Apple has limited the iPhone 16e from certain angles, the device still promises its users a balanced experience by offering a strong hardware.
