Boldpixel, 23 Feb 2025Lol pedestrian camera 😂. So what about all the phones that ... moreBBK has better in-house options than OnePlus. It's just that castrated mobile markets like the US, with its tone-deaf reasoning, don't get better options.

      I'd get it if it were 8/256 at $500

        Kapitan X, 23 Feb 2025I don't buy Apple products in principle, even for free. I love your mindset

            PureOS, 23 Feb 2025There's no bad phone, just bad pricing. For 450$/€ thi... moreInternational pricing is definitely out of wack with Apple, which makes this phone completely out of its supposed intended segment. Imo the only thing it does internationally is pushing people to buy the regular iPhone 16 instead (which maybe what Apple intended).

              After giving it some thought, this feels like a dejavu.
              Remember the iPhone XR? Apple launched it at $750. Then the next year, they released the iPhone 11 at $700, and the XR dropped in price drastically to $600.

              I have a feeling we might be seeing something similar. Apple intentionally putting a higher price tag now so they have room to play with the pricing later when they have iPhone 17 Air and 17e.

                  Heck, even iPad 9.7 2017 lowered the price from iPad Air 2 significantly, as worse it is in several ways other than the chip. Same goes for iPad Air 3 over iPad Pro 10.5.

                  This? It’s not even lowered from the 14, while being what’s the same strategy as those iPads. If MKBHD ever gets to review this, I’m sure he’ll rank it as Bust Of The Year 2025.

                      The SE was better off being a $500 beginner iPhone for the masses. Now it's placed awkwardly between iPhone 15 and 16 where both phones look like a better value. So the question is, why does this phone even exist ?

                        Majority of people on this site are quite nerdy so they'll more than likely not want to use a budget iphone

                          AnonD-1187531, 23 Feb 2025It has autofocus.Nice. If the price is good I think I'll get it. Like $590 for 256gb.

                                It should have come out in no more than 500 But we all know it will sell like hotcakes

                                  One thing that i found very disappointing(like most things with this phone), is that it uses Iphone 14 display.

                                  This means that Iphone 16e achieves 50% less screen brightness compared to the latest Iphone 16. Just 800 nits, which is lower even compared to mid range Android devices from Poco.

                                    There's no bad phone, just bad pricing. For 450$/€ this would be perfect phone. But for asking 700€ price is a hard pass. S25 is already 730€. OnePlus 13R is under 700, same as Realme GT 7 Pro and Motorola edge 50 ultra in 16/1tb version. Stay away from this overpriced toy.
