Apple iPhone 16e, which was referred to as iPhone SE 4 so far in leaks, has finally been launched globally, including in India, after years of speculation and leaks. The phone packs a slew of flagship-grade features, including support for Apple Intelligence, which is undoubtedly its standout feature. It shares this capability with the iPhone 16 lineup as well.
