Family and storage
This guide groups the iPhone 16e with the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. Apple lists 128GB, 256GB and 512GB for the 16e, 16 and Plus. The Pro has those capacities plus 1TB; the Pro Max starts at 256GB and adds 512GB and 1TB. Apple’s iPhone 16 technical specifications document the 6.1-inch iPhone 16, A18 chip, Camera Control and Apple Intelligence support. Apple’s identification guide distinguishes all five variants.
SIM and regional version
U.S.-purchased iPhone 16 models are eSIM-only. The regular 16, Plus, Pro and Pro Max are in Apple’s two-nano-SIM list for China mainland, Hong Kong and Macao. The 16e differs: Apple lists two nano-SIMs for China-mainland purchases, while Hong Kong and Macao versions follow its eSIM Dual SIM guidance. Confirm the exact A-number and purchase market.
Condition and unit checks
Requests can specify used grades, previously activated units, or sealed foreign-spec new units. A dated quote confirms available configurations. The grading standard and inspection process cover pre-owned units; how to order explains sealed-unit verification and the approval flow.
Feature availability can depend on language, account, software and market. Confirm any required service separately rather than inferring it from a hardware region.
