"f not why are people buying the iphone 16 and 16e" Because there are lots of people buying popular things for no reason at all. It's like a fashion to buy fancy products

"Real-world usage" If you have why should you care about tests? You know that different people, different apps, network coverage, settings in general can have impact on battery?

I’ve relied on GSMArena for years, but this battery test result for the iPhone 16e seems off. Real-world usage and other reviews tell a different story. Maybe a retest is needed?
