Alright everyone, I’ve heard the buzz about the new iPhone 16e that’s been circulating since it was released a few minutes ago! Apple has replaced the SE with the e. The 16e combines the features of the iPhone SE and 14 with the iPhone 16’s action button and A18 chip. I’m currently using an iPhone 15 Pro, but I’m curious to know what you all think as users of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16. If you’re still using an iPhone 13, 14, or used to have one, what are your thoughts on the new model? Will your cases be compatible with it? Apple has discontinued the iPhone SE 3rd generation and 14 in favor of the 16e.

Stick with 15 Pro.

I’m definitely sticking with my iPhone 15 Pro, y’all! I’m just observing the cases you 16 users have and getting the ones that catch my eye for my 15 Pro. 👁️ ain’t upgrading until 5 years later!

But here’s a question I wanted to ask you all: Will the iPhone 13 and 14 cases fit the iPhone 16e? The way it’s shaped, when we physically examine it, only has an action button and a single camera. Same tiny notch.

Thanks for the informative post...

I got the Pitaka - Over the Horizon color. I like the case so far. In the 16 Pro version (non-max), the weight is 19.8gr. and it has just enough grip for my needs.

The Over Horizon is very dark in person though. Do the top portion of the other blue cases look equally dark? Are there any other Pitaka woven case blue cases where the top (and whole case) are a little lighter? Otherwise, do you think the Sunset case looks lighter in color and is a good looking case?
Yeah, the over the horizon is the darkest. The moonrise is the lightest among the blue color schemes.

Thanks for the reply. Which do you think is the better looking case, or which would go best with the white phone with natural ti sides? It’s so hard to tell from the pictures. Lol

I like the moonrise the best, but I favor blue. The moonrise and sunset have the same weave pattern which is nicely textured, and the patterns are more distinct than the other designs. I’d say either would look great on the natural - it’s really personal preference depending upon whether you prefer warm or cool colors.
