Apple iPhone 16e review

07 March 2025


Sort by:

I really hope gsmarena would redo the battery test, or at least go into a bit more in depth about the battery life discrepancy. This review showed a significantly worse battery life than even the regular iPhone 16 with smaller battery. Meanwhile, other reviewers are showing better battery life than the 16. Which is which?

    In my country this costs just 50$ less than 12/256 variant of Realme GT7 pro, a Snapdragon 8 Elite device.

      Y’all got so much wrong in this lol. First of all, I’m using a 14 Plus rn and the back is not matte. It’s glossy. Second of all, the internals match that of the iPhone 14. Not the 13.

        Suggestion: remove the rear camera to make even clearer look and give us a $4.99 discount for the final price of $595.00.

                      No sim tray on the US version.

                        Typical Apple, making a "budget" phone that nobody asked for and charging an absolute fortune for it.

                          For gaming, maybe it is different because there the choice of a developer plays a bigger part.

                                  Slowest charge speed around.. Android mid-range phones demolish this joke with what they have. I am no Apple fanboi, although i am using an 13 Mini as my daily driver. But i just think this is too overpriced for what (little) this has to offer.

                                    Why are they so happy with 8GB, the same amount as Android?
                                    They need to realize that minimum memory requirements are ridiculous.

I love how every time when iPhones get bare minimum memory, people will always say that it does manage the RAM better. Then year after that, they will buy a new phone, cause newer iOS needs 2 GB more than what their current device has, kek.
