A different target from iPhone 16
The two same-generation models belong to neighboring layout groups, making both relevant when interfaces sit close to a width constraint.
iPhone 16e screen size
iPhone 16e: 6.1″, 1170 × 2532, 460 PPI, 390 × 844 CSS viewport at DPR 3. It returns to an earlier compact all-screen layout group instead of matching the same-generation base iPhone, so it remains a separate compression target in current device coverage.

Model-specific guidance
What this means
An older reference becomes current again
Its primary layout reference matches iPhone 14, allowing established compact-iPhone automation to support a newer named device.
It does not replace the SE stress case
The tracked iPhone SE remains narrower, shorter and in a different density group, so it still exposes constraints this model cannot.

Use the 390 × 844 CSS px at DPR 3 as a real QA target, then pair it with nearby widths for regression testing.
Model-specific checks
- Run the same critical flows on iPhone 16 when controls or navigation approach a width constraint.
- Keep iPhone SE in vertical-space and image-density checks instead of treating this compact model as a replacement.
