iPhone 16e is now official, and if you’re planning to buy one and wondering what ships in the retail box, here’s what you need to know.
Apple Doesn’t Ship the iPhone 16e with a Charger – All Retail Box Contents Highlighted
I’m sure you’ve already done your research on the new iPhone 16e, and if you haven’t, you can read all about it by going to this link.
Now, you are wondering what ships in the 2025 iPhone 16e retail box. That’s a good question and has an answer that goes back all the way to the iPhone 12.
This means you only get three things, and they’re as follows:
- iPhone 16e
- USB-C to USB-C charging cable
- Quick Start guide
The new iPhone 16e does not ship with a charger inside the box.
If the new iPhone 16e isn’t your first iPhone, then you already have a charger that works with the smartphone. If you don’t, there are plenty of options to choose from, with the 20W adapter from Apple being the best out there in terms of quality and compatibility.
Though you’ll find similar products that offer ‘more’ at the same price, but for most people, it’s a good idea to simply invest in a charger they’re familiar with.
Diving into the world of third-party accessories might not work for everyone unless you know exactly where you’re going.
And hey, if you’re already at the Apple Store, then you’re already looking at the 20W charger sitting on the shelf already. So, why not just pick that up and save yourself from a lot of trouble of walking around.
It only costs $19, and these things never break down.
Overall, the iPhone 16e is a very, very interesting smartphone. It will be wrong to call it the successor to the iPhone SE, thanks to its starting price of $599. But it will be interesting to see how fans respond to it, especially those who are buying an iPhone for the first time.
