The iPhone 16e is now here with an unexpected twist: what was earlier expected to be the iPhone SE 4 is now a part of the iPhone 16 series. Apple's newest mid-range phone comes with the latest-and-greatest chip - the A18 - which is currently in the iPhone 16, and a modern aesthetic that its predecessor (unofficially the iPhone SE 3) couldn't boast about.

The design is now more like modern iPhones, and with great internals, the iPhone 16e is shaping up to be a great contender for the best mid-range phone.

Unfortunately though for those of you who were looking for some iPhone 16-inspired colorful options, you're out of luck. The iPhone 16e is only available in two conservative colors: Black and White. But the simplicity matches it quite well, in fact, as it's somewhat of an 'entry-level' iPhone. And those colors are not without alluring qualities, too.

iPhone 16e colors: all the official hues


The iPhone 16e is available in two color options: white and black.

iPhone 16e in White



The white for the iPhone 16e isn't the general Starlight color, which has some warmer hues. It's a pretty traditional white color with cool undertones, looking clean and polished on the phone. The frame is painted in a light silver hue, elegantly complementing the white back. We also have Apple's logo on the back in a light silver shade.

This iPhone 16e color is ideal if you need something fresh and bright, or if you're bored with black tech. It looks minimalistic and simple.

iPhone 16e in Black



The first color option for the iPhone 16e is Black, a conservative one but definitely not boring. The black color is not your usual Space Grey, which is more like dark grey. This one seems deep enough, ideal for people who mean business. The seamless look is complemented by a matching frame and Apple logo on the back. It also looks great with the single camera lens on the back, offering a united look. 

iPhone 16e colors are simple, yet elegant


I'm a huge color fan and would have loved a couple more color options for the new mid-range champion, but I can understand the decision to keep things simple with the iPhone 16e. It's positioned more like a cheaper alternative to the iPhone 16 and in a sense, like a simpler iPhone without all the expensive bells and whistles, but with all you'd probably really need in a phone.

So, it makes sense it has only two options for colors to choose from. After all, Apple has released new silicone cases for the iPhone 16e if you wish to shake things up with some colors anyway.

And don't get me wrong: these colors are elegant and beautifully made. And they have a hidden bonus too: it's unlikely you'd get sick of it, as it's so simple and basic that you'll stop paying attention to the color soon anyway. With some of the more vibrant colors, that's not really achievable, so, there's that! All in all, the phone is firstly a phone, and what's the most important thing here is the powerful internals with a more mid-range price.
