iPhone 16e Benchmarks Confirm Key Specs and Potential Battery Life
The first benchmarks have surfaced for Apple’s recently-announced iPhone 16e, confirming the processor speeds and the expected amount of RAM. Per the Geekbench specs, the handset contains 8GB of RAM, which is required for Apple Intelligence. The new Geekbench listing, which describes the model as the “iPhone 17,5” does not as yet show the full single- and multi-core speed scores.
- The fact that the iPhone 16e's GPU cores are downgraded from five to four may signal a trade-off between performance and power consumption, highlighting the delicate balance Apple must strike in optimizing its devices for both speed and efficiency.
- What implications will this optimization have on battery life, particularly when it comes to fast charging, which seems to be a key selling point for the iPhone 16e?
