I’d like this feature but not sure if it’s present or not on 16e. Has anyone got one that can check? I can’t find any technical documentation on it.
thanks.

TrueDepth uses infrared light, invisible to the human eye. There is no calibrating TV colors with a True Depth camera. It is used to map the shape of your face using thousands on invisible light dots, nothing to do with color balance.

I’ve done calibration for my Apple TV’s and friends and relatives TV’s multiple times.
The calibration requires the iPhone is a new enough model that it uses Face ID as opposed to Touch ID. It uses the front facing camera to calibrate the screen, not TrueDepth camera as Kurtosis12 stated. You were reading a little too much into the requirements for the iPhone necessary for calibration, that’s all.
It says it here, needs Face ID 14.5 or later. I just haven't found anything that confirms if it's enabled on iPhone 16e though. Calibrate video and audio on Apple TV - Apple Support (NZ)
I know that it has the right camera, what I'm asking for is someone that has one, or someone that can point me at a document that explicitly lists this specific iPhone. I was just thinking cause it's an SE maybe it's artificially disabled. I know that technically it could, I'm after evidence. Thanks.
This is not a complicated process. Your iPhone will either connect with your Apple TV or it won’t. If it does, you’re golden. If it doesn’t, one or both devices may require an update.
Before attempting to connect, please make sure both are updated to latest iOS versions. Then follow instructions to connect.
Waiting for another user to show up is unlikely, 16e is too new to already have millions of users. Your specific query is pretty esoteric in my opinion.
OK, but getting to the question, rather than the technicalities, does iPhone 16e support Colour Balance feature? Thanks.
Yes, because it has Face ID. If it had Touch ID, it would not support color calibration of your screen.
How to check if iPhone 16e supports Color Balance feature with TrueDepth camera?
