For those prices you can get an android flagship from 2024 that smokes this trash in every aspect. How are people still falling for this? I expected that, with technology evolving and people getting more knowledgeable, this kinds of products will become obsolete but here they are, making fun of their brain rotted buyers because they know they won't give af about what they get for the money, just that it has that symbol on the back

    Strategy Marketing Iphone if you look 16e $600 8/64 is Overprice and you choose iphone 16 regular is better you now have a trap. Because in 2025 you have many choose $600 another phone 1000% better with overall specs not just about iPhone, you can choose oppo find x8 12/256 similar Ui and Feature like iOS , you can choose Xiaomi 14T Pro camera and gaming better 1000% like iPhone 16 Pro or you can choose Samsung S21 Ultra old phone 16/512 last update One UI 7.0 with same price. Hi Bro you must wake up , iPhone iOS feature now available similar and better in Color Os , Harmony Os Next and Origin OS, ZTE Nubia AiOS, Magic Os Next In 5 years next from now hopefully the Phone China will be completely copied and much better than the iPhone. (My English is beginner I hope you guys understand)

        It's way too overpriced

        The SE was better off being an affordable, starter iPhone at accessible price. Now it's a bad deal. People will just get an older iPhone like 14 or 15. Those with money will get the 16 rather than the E.

        Those looking to switch to iOS won't buy it either, since the specs are way too low for the price, compare to what other Android phones are offering for the same cash

        This might be their lowest selling iPhone of all time

            My say for this is the reality of kids, teens and most of all people in america are occupied from the thought that the price of this phone is justifiable despite us knowing there's better alternatives than this.

            The brain-rot mindset of thinking "Apple" is better than Android will not end.

            The thought of most people in america is only ears-out to big companies like this and these "big companies" knows this as they have been playing around with these people providing no innovation since the beginning of the iPhone 11 and up.

            This seems like a dream in the US and I have to say, you people have to wake up.

            I know it's hard to listen or hear out a person's thought such as mine or the other's opinions about this matter. At least, hear us out. Sooner or later as you use your head wisely and know better, you'll be glad you've enlightened yourself. Don't thank us, thank yourself.

              this "new" 16e will sell in the US but it wouldn't sell anywhere else since the price is just ridiculous and the competition will make this phone not even considered by anyone

                How about a cold take?

                The iPhone 16e is one of Apple's worst smartphones to date and that is primarily caused by its terrible pricing.

                  So a 256 GB iphone 16e and a 256 GB Oneplus 13 costs the same. Great!

                  Oppo Find X8 and Vivo X200 exists. For a base price of 16E, you're getting 2 options that are best in the category.

                    16e 512gb costs more than 16 256gb.
                    LOL

                      Is there any other company doing 60hz , i feel apple paying extra to keep it going

                        This phone basically screams one camera phones are back and end the 8mp +2 mp garbage

                          If Huawei can sell phones with unfinished cameras as seen in the gsmarena review then Apple can definitely sell a phone with one camera

                            iPhone 16e hot take

                            The most overpriced phone Apple has ever made, and the most overpriced phone currently on the market.

                              So, in a nutshell this is the iPhlone 16eWaste.

                                  Is more like iPhone 16experimental. A platform to test their new modem and "budget" design.

                                        iPhone 16e is a practice run for the iPhone 17 air. Single camera, chassis designed for large area battery, and I predict no magnetic qi2.
