    This was better off being as a $400 starter iPhone. At around 700 it's a terrible purchase

      Apple must fail.

          Let’s see if there are any tech reviewer who would check the maker of the display panel.
          If it is BoE, then the $600 price is a tough swallow as the point of using BoE was to cut cost.
          If it is Samsung, then the rumor of BoE failing the QC was true, and it might explain the $600 price tag as Apple probably had to pay Samsung’s higher price for the sudden switch.

            This phone only seems to exist to psychologically coerce you into justifying buying the more expensive iPhone 16 and above.

                Better to buy used/refurbished iPhone 15 Pro/Max with overall better specs than this 16e

                  I’ve been reading GSMArena for a few years and I have no complaints about. They usually provide us with good and interesting information. Once we’re human we can mistake sometimes - that’s natural

The iPhone is 146.7 x 71.5 x 7.8 mm (5.78 x 2.81 x 0.31 in) while Samsung is 146.9 x 70.5 x 7.2 mm (5.78 x 2.78 x 0.28 in) - but that’s not a big deal. We still love GSMArena!

                              for this price, I would just add a little bit and get the iPhone 15

                                  In Serbia this phone cost almost 800 euros. That is insane. I waited this phone to get for my son,but for this price I will pass

                                    The equipment is not bad, having a camera I will give it to you (I am not that demanding) but the price you set is not worth it, not to mention that the chip is incomplete

                                      Michalis, 28 Feb 2025Given that the vanilla 16's got a 4.0, that's hig... moreGsmarena should let people do the rating of phones they review.
