The renewal of the iPhone economic line has been waiting. The last entrance model that Apple launched was the iPhone Se 2022 And, after 2024 with rumors about a iPhone Se 4Apple launched a few days ago iPhone 16E. Finally names the rest of the range and, in addition, we finally have a design that does not have generations behind it. There are things that do not change, such as maintaining a single camera, and others that yes, such as New Apple C1 Modem.
And something interesting is that the iPhone 16E have already undressed and we have been able to discover something that, obviously, is still curious: the enormous amount of space that the cameras steal to the battery.
Naked. Apple is usually quite unclear when it talks about some data from its phones. One of the most elusive is the real size of the battery because they usually tell you about “it lasts more than x telephone of the previous generation”, and they remain so wide. That is why it is interesting to see the first ‘Teradown’ or ‘disassembly’ of the iPhone when they reach the market.
The protagonist this time has been the Rewa Technology channel, since his work not only allows the drums to be taken, but to other details of the internal composition of the 16E iPhone that allow us to extract very interesting details. Before continuing, here we leave the video:
C1. It is not the direct protagonist of our article, but it is evident that the component that can get the most attention of the iPhone 16E is … the modem. The reason is that Apple bought in 2019 the Intel Modems Division for the whopping of 1,000 million dollars. The goal was to break with a Qualcomm that is the one that provided (and continues to do so in the iPhone 16 and 16 pro) The iPhone modems And with which he has maintained a relationship, say, tense.
After years waiting to see what the first iPhone with modem made from home was, the premiere has arrived with this 16E iPhone. This chip combines lithography in 4 and 7 nanometers and facilitates somewhat the encapsulation of the modem, leaving free space in the part of the sandwich type motherboard in which it is enclaustrated.
The theory. Apart from being able to design its size and benefits, have your own modem It is a license savings for Apple (something that we do not have to notice in the final price of the device) and, above all, a better integration with the rest of the chips. This implies, theoretically, a lower consumption and, therefore, greater autonomy.
Apple itself on its website Comment The following: “It reaches 26 hours of video reproduction thanks to the efficiency of iOS and our chip, which includes the modem C1.” And that is very good, but what they do not say is … that the battery has risen from level.

Huge battery. In the Rewa video we can compare the 16E iPhone with the iPhone 15 to appreciate the substantial change in the battery size only by eliminating one thing from the equation: the wide angle camera. The main chamber module also seems to have been redesigned, but beyond an interior redesign work, which allows between a larger battery is to have lost a component.
Specifically, 4,005 mAh, 444 mAh larger than that of the iPhone 16. According to Apple estimates, while the iPhone 16 could play video for 22 hours, the iPhone 16E endures four more hours.
Recycling, which is gerund. For the rest, Apple shows that she is a teacher when it comes to recycling components and Rewa’s video states that, in many ways, the iPhone 16E is a mixture between a iPhone 14 of which he takes screen, part of the plate, notch and the Face ID system, and an iPhone 16 with which he shares the main camera, processor, RAM.
In the end, the C1 chip may help achieve greater autonomy, but having a substantially larger battery than that of its direct brothers, definitely, cannot be set aside.
These ‘Teardown’ also serve to check details such as that the 16E iPhone battery has the same disassembled technology as their brothers, making it more easy to repair
And, as we said, it is curious to see the amount of space that any component takes inside the smartphones, making manufacturers constantly playing the game of commitment between functions to maintain a balance.
