  I had never heard of the 16e and checked their site, it will only allow comparison up to the 11, a phon from 2019. And its expensive.

    That’s because it’s stupidly downgraded and aimed at people upgrading from the 11. It’s a no-one phone, there just to make people think, “well, the 15 is just $100 more, let’s buy that instead”. It would be a remarkable phone, if it were $200 cheaper. But Apple just can’t let an opportunity to scalp consumers go. Only Apple charges so much for a 60 Hz screen.

    Yes. The 16e released only 2 days ago and it is an entry level version of the iPhone 16. And you are right, it is not that cheaper then the full-size version.

      Its an entry iphone, I wouldnt say 16 given it shares very little with it.
