Zero400, 19 Feb 2025The pricing should start at 399/499. Should end at 499, not start.

    Roneeee, 20 Feb 2025And 100€ more than a Pixel 9. lolEven tough i wrote only Pixel Pro with no numbers. (Edit: i read wrong at first so i hope no offense)
    9 Pro cost only 60 euro more then iPhone 16e
    Google Pixel 8 Pro is 550 euro while 16e in my country start at 740 euro as the 8/128GB version. Google Pixel 9 12/128GB version start at 670 euro

    Google Pixel 8 series and 9 series performance difference is so minimal that no point to even mention.

      I think this phone is a bad deal, especially since you can buy a used iPhone 13 for half the price. But compared to the vanilla iPhone 16, the 16e is a better deal for most people. In 2 years, this will be one of the best used phones you can buy, but right now it’s just not worth it.

        entry level a06/f06 5g is decent than 16ee

          So they just cut the "Still" from the "Still Expensive" for the iphone-se, to just "Expensive" for the Iphone-e. The rest is pretty much the same. Apple greed with no borders. I wander if they still sell that monitor cickstand for 999$.

            Boldpixel, 20 Feb 2025Looks kind of good. I usually don't care for the crap ... moreThey said there's AF on the front camera. I heard it in the keynote.

                I bet this new modem will work even when the phone is powered off and spy on you for Apple, like they already do with Bluetooth LE.

                    Its 100 pound more than it should be.499 and it’s a legitimate option.I like the single camera design but no MagSafe is not on at all.At this price I’d be looking at open box as new iPhone 16 for 600 off eBay off a legit company like cheapest electrical which is Tesco mobile 14 day returns,or an excellent condition 15 pro all for about 600.At 600 this new 16E is terrible value.

                      If that thing would cost 400 euro then i can see a market for it. But at 699 it's only 100 less then standard iPhone or 50 euro more expensive then 1 year old model of iPhone 15

                      It's like the iPhone mini fail didnt teach them much
                      At this price that 16e and 16 difference should be only that the 16e have one camera less on the backside of the phone. Then the price would make sense and maybe there be market for it. But as of now it looks like the Mini fail that was too expensive and what you got wasn't enough to make sense

                          Anonymous, 20 Feb 2025S24 FE is much better than this shit Samsung cuts only: ... moreMakes sense, the S24 FE beats the 16 Plus as well, but there are plenty of phones on the Android side that beat the S24 FE. This really comes down the OS one wants, if they need iOS, then the comparison to any Android device won't matter, if they are still deciding between the two, then the S24 FE or something even better should be a no-brainer.

                            Why even bother Apple🤭

                                Ibn Batuta, 20 Feb 2025Please tell me just 1 reason to buy itYou are a basic iPhone user who were still on iPhone SE/8 or older and don't care much about other features. For these users, this is a huge jump over the previous SE, with FaceID and usable battery life, and at least you're getting the same length of OS support as the 16 series.

                                  Ahamd, 20 Feb 2025Clearly this phone exists as a basic entry iPhone and to up... moreThere should be nothing "entry" in a phone, that can costs 1000+ EUR.
