Apple's best products always have a lot of haters.
I was really thinking about changing to iOS but after I saw what they done with this phone, screw them really at this point, I don't have to buy a phone with all these sacrifices just to enter into the apple ecosystem.
Wait it actually has 4000 mah battery wth. With one more less gpu cores and several other essentials cut down in the connectivity department, this should perform better than the normal 16 and yes it's not necessarily a good thing and doesn't make it any better than other companies competition. I'm just saying that I was surprised that apple actually manages to fit similarly sized battery as the s25 in the 16e but not at the normal 16 (probably because it have other things such as an ultrawide which might compromised space but again other smartphone makers already used SC battery)
The worst possible Apple product. The Redmi A4 5G performs much better. I have been using Apple products since the launch of iPods in India. I have never come across such a disappointing Apple product.
Since this iPhone 16e is out my iPhone 7 is not charging anymore. Does anyone experiencing the same? I think this is anothe trick from Apple to force people to buy new phones.
Someguy, 10 Mar 2025I wonder about the connectivity with the new Apple modem.The phone’s basically for real life testing this modem so they can improve it for the next iPhone 17 series.
Tricycle, 11 Mar 2025How do you know that the sensor is 1/2.55"?GSMArena review of iPhone 16e say it has 1/2.5"sensor
How do you know that the sensor is 1/2.55"?

Anonymous, 10 Mar 202514 is even better than the 16e in all terms.not in term of power tho
Anonymous, 08 Mar 2025tldr – 16e battery life is poor due to new modem being inefficient and old screen being ineffi... morewe have to wait for more tests.
so far there are not many, but the recent one on youtube has shown 16e is on par with vanilla 16. so while it didn't show as much difference as gsmarena test, it is still not that good considering its got bigger battery then vanilla 16 and yet perforfms about the same.

dat screen brightness tho...
14 is even better than the 16e in all terms.
raj, 08 Mar 2025it's a $350 phone at best.It should have been priced in that range. At this point, a secondhand iPhone 15 Pro is a much better choice than this iPhone 16e(xperimental) model.
tldr – 16e battery life is poor due to new modem being inefficient and old screen being inefficient.
16e=11:53h
16=15:42h
16PM=17:18h
Not all iPhones are bad, but this is hell. 48MP camera in 2025? I didn't think they would even bring back the notch too.
