In the video, an inflatable sky dancer holds up the iPhone 16e, while the camera spotlights its camera system, ability to run Apple’s genAI, and the only text in the ad: ‘at a price you can’t ignore.‘ That last part didn’t sit well with a lot of people. Some might see this ad as misleading since the entry price for an iPhone has jumped from $429 (iPhone SE) to $599 (iPhone 16e). However, before the iPhone 16e’s release, Apple was already selling the iPhone 14 at the same $599 price. While the caption may be misinterpreted, it could mean to signal how the value that the iPhone 16e brings to the table is “at a price you can’t ignore.” After all, it does come with almost the same CPU hardware as its $200 pricier counterpart.
