Nothing stands apart. 🥱 The camera is meh 🫤
A generic $250 Chinese smartphone might be better value for money.

Anonymous, 07 Mar 2025Really weird how in other reviews the 16e beats 16 in batte... moreThe only thing i don't trust at all in GSMArena reviews is battery life test. I've doubted GSMArena battery tests for a long time.
After they updated the battery test, i was excited and thought they finally fixed it, but no.
Weird 🤔

Only exceptional (16h+ Active Score) battery life could have redeemed this device… at this price point, that is. As things stand, only revising the price of the 128GB version to 500€ (and the other two accordingly) can redeem iPhone 16E.

You have 3715 score on 3dmark stress test 1st run. Looks like a slight increase in temp reduces scores a lot. Might have been the reason for your low score in the non stress test.

Hmm, 07 Mar 2025Apple has lost their mind. Right now in my country iPhone 1... moreNot at all, most consumers want simple and reliable/ not interested in specs..the average consumers also loves pretty things. This will sell extremely well.

Hmm, 07 Mar 2025Apple has lost their mind. Right now in my country iPhone 1... moreDepends where you live, in my country Samsung didn't start dumping S25 yet price wise, so base s25 128gb is 930 euro here.
16e is 699 euro
But it is a matter of time, base s24 128gb is 580 euro, base s23 256gb 590 euro and 256gb S24 Ultra is 919 euro (that is surprising because S23U never dropped that low here, neither did S22U)
Matter of time, but 16e is now a poor buy even for a apple user, regular 16 starts at 760 euro and is iphone wise the better deal than 16e.

Anyhow a bit surprising the gpu stabilty is 65% while 16 is 78% and 16 pro 90%, clear difference in cooling.
65% is not bad though, cpu seems fine on the other hand.

Really weird how in other reviews the 16e beats 16 in battery life, because more efficient modem, 1 gpu core less and bigger battery.
Only here it does worse, wondering what makes the testing method here different (other reviews often used a sim, which should give even worse battery results vs testing without one)

Apple has lost their mind. Right now in my country iPhone 16e costs the same as Galaxy S25. And that's only true for 128GB mode. If I compare 256GB variants then S25 is much cheaper than 16e.
