According to the site which sneakily released the product, the new phone is 'built to last', being resistant to splash, water and dust.
It's made of tough stuff too, with a 'ceramic shield' front cover that is currently more durable than any other smartphone glass.
OLED technology further means the phone has 'edge-to-edge' design, making it 'perfect' to watch HDR videos, play video games and reading text.
However, one of the biggest breakthroughs of the iPhone 16e is its incredible battery life, the best 'ever' on any 6.1-inch Apple phone, lasting six hours longer than iPhone 11 and as many as 12 hours longer than all phones belonging to the iPhone SE family tree.

Incredibly interweaving artificial intelligence, Apple Intelligence, can also help users to search for 'just about any photo or vide' just by describing it while ChatGPT is 'seamlessly' integrated.
Like its predecessor, users can benefit from Face ID to lock or unlock their device and make purchases.
