Deals: iPhone 16e pre-orders start while we look at some alternatives

22 February 2025
The 16e is fairly pricey while still cutting out quite a bit of hardware even compared to older models like the iPhone 15.

Anonymous, 22 Feb 2025I actually feel somehow sad to buy NotePro14+ too find that... moreThe trickery being that I got locked unalerted by the last try for a PIN in an Apple SE 2020?.

I could perfectly sue Apple for this crap, especially when verification code calls worked even with the phone locked, so...

It's tremendous stupid they won't allow wiping the entire data in cases as these(nevermind disabling the MetaSpyware called 'Siri' from everywhere, they won't allow to simply wipe it off entirely; I want AI, I use OpenAI's app.), and enjoy the rest of the day.

    I actually feel somehow sad to buy NotePro14+ too find that Poco X7Pro is +50% powerful @-33% the price. :(

    I like the design(still at least 2.5cm more than it should be)but I don't have interest in 'AI' cameras(which are trash without 'AI') and I hope that that Victus2Glass will make worth the Sacrifice.

    +the EU Law for returning the product under 30 days is not perfectly enforced in the entire EU Area + I'm already tired to adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 for at least 2 hours, twice, so.. at least Linux's licence enforce Google to allow that, nevermind how much they hate it but still..Apple.. :( they hate USB-C...

      400$ max. is the real-based-to-reality price, and this for that RAMlessHertzless SoC.

        Value of iPhone SE line up reduce fast in the first year. So will be with 16e. So better to buy another iPhone or android.

          The pricing is too close together so that 16e makes no sense. Buy the 15 for £40 more or 16 for £140 more. If you can pay £599 then a bit more for a better phone is a no brainer. And what happens in September when the 15 and 16 drop in price? 16e will look an even worse deal!

            S26e incoming.

              We were seeing rumours about a potential SE4 for too long - first it was being made, then it got cancelled and then again brought back. What's surprising is that they came up with THIS in three years. 🤦‍♂️

                Vl, 22 Feb 2025The price in Europe is ridiculous. For little more you can... moreSame story in India.

                16e costs ₹59900.
                15 costs ₹61499.

                That's only ₹1599 apart, which is like $18.,

                  Any flagship from last year will be a better choice than this new model from Apple

                    The price in Europe is ridiculous.
                    For little more you can have S25 256 and it is probably not even the best option for some.
                    Last year I saw some deals on Xiaomi 14 12/512! For 100 euro less!

                      that price gap between storage variants is hilarious

                        What a joke of a phone. The devices of the legacy SE lineup did provide some value for it's money, but not this one.

                        Defective chipsets and hoarded parts that got unsold = 16e
