€729 in Ireland?? What an absolute joke.
I know Apple are notoriour for phones being pricey, but for what you get, that is ABSURD.
Even my current phone (16 Pro Max) was outrageous, but moving from an iPhone 12 I could actually justify it.
You're better off waiting for an extra paycheck and just getting the base 16 over the 16e, if a current gen iPhone is really what you want. This thing needs a fairly steep discount to even warrant being worth it.

I don’t understand why you published this article a few hours ago when the store just now went down for the pre orders to start in 42 minutes. Do you not know about what you are writing

It's not like some Chinese phone that have like 2-3 OS updates to worry about so you can wait a year for the price to drop with these Apple phones and Samsung S class.
Like S24 is something 600 euro now and still have more then 5 years of software support. Then again who even use the phone so long and especially the flagships where people want to have the latest all the time

Anonymous, 21 Feb 2025Wait a few months, price drops, now you get the latest chip... moreYou get the latest chip that is missing 2 cores.
It's like the SD 8 Elite version with one core less.
And you get the 60hz screen with iPhone 15 and 16 too so there is no difference.

DarlingYext, 21 Feb 2025Who is this phone even for? For people that don't care... moreBuying it at launch price is indeed naive. If there is some discount of 20-25% with some offers, then it is a fair deal if you want a no nonsense device which lasts more than 5 years. This is me stretching the scenario and trying to be as impartial as possible.

That's just the bare minimum that every phone that's this expensive can achieve.

Would you rather buy the standard iPhone 15 128 GB for $729 on Apple's website or 256 GB 16e for $700 with that ugly notch and worse camera? 😅

One good camera is better than:
50 MP, f/1.8, 1/2.76", 0.64µm, Samsung ISOCELL JN5 (24mm)
2 MP, f/2.4, 1/5", 1.75µm, GalaxyCore GC02M3 (macro)
2 MP, f/2.4, 1/5", 1.75µm, OmniVision OV02B (depth)
