Shamrock Sean, 19 Feb 2025Nothing to do with the West it's just iOS is crap generally It's the only alternative to Android, and does just about everything that Android does.

    PureOS, 19 Feb 2025Nobody says different. What is your point?My point was this device will sell well despite how much better people such as your self are always saying Android is. Which was the same point GAMIR3DH was making.

    For many iPhone fans it mainly comes down to iOS, not extra cameras or how much ram or how many times the screen refreshes, they want iOS and can only get that on an iPhone.

      High.Tech, 19 Feb 2025Toughest glass in any smartphone. Is that a joke? Well ... moreI can already see cracked iPhones 😅

        In-house modem was surely cost more.
        Bad move to try to slowly get rid of qualcomm.
        Gonna take years to match the quality

          DaFink, 19 Feb 2025Well, at least the 64gb storage rumours proved false. That ... moreThey intentionally put out those rumors so people like you can feel relieved seeing the still awful 128 gb models. 128 GB phones shouldn't exist in 2025, exceptions can be made for phones cheaper than 300 dollars and this flaw can be forgiven on phones cheaper than 500 dollars if they have a MicroSD Card slot.

            Eduard33, 19 Feb 2025A ferrari or a prius lolA more apt comparison would be a Toyota GT86 vs a Ferrari SF90. The GT86 is still a nice car but at the same price point as an SF90? Yeah, no thanks.

              Toughest glass in any smartphone.

              Is that a joke? Well fanboys will fall for it nevertheless 🥴

                DaFink, 19 Feb 2025And is that the 48mp sensor from the base 16 series or the ... more16/16+ use exmor T.
                Pros use Exmor RS

                  Feem, 19 Feb 2025Good enough for Dumb-merica. Incompetent e-waste for the re... moreI just wish iPhones had 256 GB storage as base at the price of the 128 gb models. At that point I'd say their phones are somewhat acceptable.

                  Unmatched videography capabilities, with an A18 chip and excellent social media app optimization? I think that's terrific and for 600 dollars this'd still be a nice phone if it were 256 GB. But people out there are ok with recommending a Pixel 9 Pro XL for 1000 dollars+ which also comes with a 128 GB model, i find that more disgusting than this phone, in all honesty.

                    It appeared in Danmark. 128gb costs 740 eur. I though it was pretty good for 500 usd. But from now own I consider Apple an EVIL entity, that should be destroyed. And the best way to destroy such entity is to ignore it. So from this very post I ignore everything Apple and ppl please do the same.

                      Using center of photo taken by " bayer mode" of QB sensors will never be as good as regular crop from Bayer sensor or low res mode of QB.

                      Remember those mi with 108mp HMX with 27MP output?
                      Cut that 27MP into 12.5MP. Quality is much better than center of 50mp QB at 2x from Mi14 for example ( or even from other phones made by other brands).

                        To steal the author's BMW pun, this 16e is a BMW "Visual Tuning" M3, (low) IQ edition. You know, just the plastic bumpers and skirts to make it look like the real thing, but under the hood, it's just another 316.

                        700€ for this is just a "don't buy me" price. It will probably sell in US with contracts and discounts but in EU, you'd have to be a rabid Apple fan to buy this. There are many many better options at that price point.

Personally, I owned both Android (Sony Xperia 1 II and XZ Premium) and iOS (Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max) right now and I understand both advantages and disadvantages very well. What makes you think I prefer one thing to another and disrespect others?

                            iPhone is dead for people sensitive to Pwm dimming.

                              $600?! Yeah, get out of here.

                                This is actually good those upgrading from iphone 11. they can get the 256 gb and its still cheaper than the 128gb of the base 16

                                    mrleft, 19 Feb 2025Another massive device. Swing and a miss, Apple.They hadn't done any very compact device since iPhone 13 mini/SE 2022 was launched 3-4 years ago. iPhone SE did sold well for its class, but 12/13 mini in another hand though for Apple standard? Well you know the answer very well. That's why they didn't do any compact phones since then.

At least if it’s not the right operating system. You all think you are very smart but your close-mindedness proves the opposite.

                                        Red price for this joke is $290. You literally paying double just for a logo.
