Yup, and this website is the best example for that

My gripe with the new iPhone 16e isn't about some features that are lower or omitted than the regular or Plus version of 16 (or even 15 vanilla series), considering compared to its spiritual predecessor, the SE 3, there were indeed numerous upgrades (battery life, better chipset, better display, USB-C, Face ID if you prefer that way, even larger screen-to-body ratio lesser bezels, cleaner design just like iPhone 4/4s as it looks like a modern revival of 4/4s, new tech of C1 modem). My gripe is how they set the price when the target markets are those who wants an "affordable iPhone" by Apple standard and wanting an iPhone only by legal means, considering the SE 3 and iPhone 14 series have been phased out completely and removed from Apple Store (unless refurbished), making 16e is the most affordable iPhone right now, alongside the 15 series, yet, Apple has increased the minimum bar of price higher than some people could tolerate, and 600 USD felt too high (500 USD could have been better IMO), let alone the Euro pricing or outside North America, that is even more unattainable and too stingy. I'm all in for an affordable iPhone as the iPhone has its specific audience, but the iPhone 16e compromising price is something not well and had to be considered twice for the new buyers;

SadSoul, 21 Feb 2025Blame goes to the customers who buy this e-waste looking at... moreIt’s crazy how fast the term e-waste got appropriated by people to mean “a phone I don’t like”. I agree that the iPhone 16e isn’t good value at $600 when you can get a used iPhone 15 for only $500 (plus no child labor b/c it’s not a new phone), but calling this phone e-waste makes no sense when it’ll probably get 7 years of updates and still be usable without any lag

You are the illogical ones here. Those magnets cost the same as those 2mp macro cameras, much less than whatever camera apple would have included if they were to. And i bet many sheep fell for the 2 in 1 camera nonsense too. You cant do any such nonsense marketing about magsafe without having those magnets.

They use their own modem in their cheapest current model because it will perform worse than the one in their other models and costs less. It is not correlated to them cheaping out on many other specs of that e-waste iPhone.

The biggest issue is the price to feature ratio.
Also, in some parts of the world is ridiculously close in price to the regular 16.

iPhone 16 is selling at 63k(69k without) after bank discounts in India and 16e's launch price is 60k, why would anyone buy 16e. It's just a waste phone to say atleast.

This article is in very poor taste. People thought that at least the mag safe would stay not because they lack logic or they're dumb, but simply because apple had already cut corners everywhere else and for its price (a little over 1,000$CAD) you can buy a used like new iPhone 15pro.

It’s draws attention because MagSafe allows Apple to get more money from accessories. Not including MagSafe seems to contradict the greediness of Apple. Seems like a dumb decision made purely to maximize margin at the point of sales.

Cost cutting at its best.. just to grab a few more cents per customer.
60hz.
Bin SoC
No magnets
Same as their iPad minis. Good, very good apple.. it turns off people from upgrading.
