Not the brightest release, especially from a price standpoint. I'd say $529 would make it a fine mid-range but as positioned makes the regular 16 a more reasonable purchase. But as the editor catches a price hike is to be expected for the upcoming 17.

Would you not be better off buying a new Iphone 14 for the same price ?

An ocean of alternatives at this price, even in the US. Only the least informed Apple fanatic would pay retail for this. "is worth getting" in the review - no. You get 15 variant, maybe refurbed if you just MUST have an Apple. If I noticed someone in real life had a 16e I might think just a little bit less of them. Sorry .

Am I the only one that sees the compare images tool everytime I check the camera section?

Not that I'm defending this, but I do agree you guys should check out again your battery testing methodology. Somehow I think the version 1.0 of yours was far more reliable than the new one, and several reviews you've made just don't match with many other reviewers results.

It will still sell like hot cakes. People who just want the apple experience and refuse to buy a second hand device will go for this. It's purposefully built and marketed by apple the way it is i.e. not to outshine or outclass their other products from higher range.

Their MacBook Air has really awful thermals that get worse with every new gen if Apple Silicon, because they skimp out on the cooling solution. Even the Pro models have bad thermals because they prefer quiet operation over proper cooling. Not surprising that even with the twice downgraded chip they can't provide decent stability.
