Weekly poll results: the Apple iPhone 16e is way overpriced

01 March 2025
Apple's replacement for the SE is priced closer to the main series than it is to the outgoing SE models and that is a problem for a large portion of would-be buyers.

Sort by:

The folks on this website still think most people care about a 60hz screen, it’s laughable.

The screen’s limitation isn’t how fast it can go, but that it’s not variable and can go down to 1hz for always on display and battery savings.

    At $600, I expect it to have an ultrawide or a telephoto camera.

        What's that Shyte ?

        Anything half the price beats it

        Only proc ok. But for what ?

        For iOS ? Nowadays iOS is more a con than a plus.

        Just for vague logo brand on the back ?

        That doesn't make any sense. What are they drinking are dreaming that consumers are that stoopid at Apple ?

        Gosh. I'm becoming old to understand those.

          I think $399 is a better price for this phone. Im a huge iphone 13 mini fan (currently my primary phone).

              I hope nobody buys this so Apple lowers the price at least to €499

                I have Apple devices, google devices, alexa devices,microsft devices…….The 16e is an “embarrassment”.

                  As an Apple user, I HOPE this phone flops, because asking for €730 for it is absolute insanity.

                    499$ is perfect price if would be banger at that

                      Woad, 01 Mar 2025I don't get this criticism, and I don't even like... moreYou misread the technical sheet: in addition to the elements you cite, you can add the absence of Magsafe, a screen brightness of 800 nits compared to 1600 nits, a photo sensor which goes from 1/1.56" to a tiny 1/2.55", it is slower for 3D games (1 less GPU core), no millimeter 5G

                        I don't even know when i will ever want an iPhone

                              It feels like we knew the 16e was to expensive, and yes I'm going to say it, these specs at $600 is just not worth it, especially with the OnePlus 13R available here in the US for the same price, and better specs in almost every regard

                                DaFink, 01 Mar 2025‘100 years ahead’…….🤦‍♂️ If the difference between Apple... moreWait to see just when apple will introduce 120w charging or 80w wireless charging and from 0 to 100% in 19 min. That's just one thing youll probably won't see in the near future from apple... 50W for them is like an innovation in technology...

                                  The right choice for the SE4 would've been the iPhone 12 mini form. Low cost entry level iPhone that's still quite different than main models. Apple has terribly messed up here

Nevermind all that, the pricing (should have been cheaper) in all makes no sense for consumers who have options in the market where they live. People in India thought they would finally get an iPhone they could afford. I guess they have to wait for some time or look at the used market
