iPhone 16e Doesn't Have MagSafe

I wish there was more competition in the phone market. Google’s stuff / Android is just garbage. I wish Microsoft had never left the phone market. We’d probably see lower prices with more competition.
No MagSafe is crazy.
Using a MagSafe mount in a car is one of the best things about the 5G iPhones.
Maybe they need something to add for the 17e or 18e though. 😂

It's all preference but I think Android and iOS are pretty much on equal footing these days, outside of features that Apple gatekeeps like AirDrop.
they would recoupn the MagSafe cost on sold accessories. Kind of short sighted in my opinion.
Question: would MagSafe accessories work if the case have a MagSafe ring?
Bummer.
Really, would it cost so much to put a couple of magnets in it?

Likely, you would have to attach a ring to your iPhone 16E to have the accessory attached to it.
No MagSafe, plus the added benefit of you being a beta tester for Apple’s new (non-Qualcomm) modem.
No thanks

Jesus Tim how much of a penny pincher can you be..... How much could it possibly cost to add magsafe... literal pennies? FFS
I was looking forward to gifting this to my little brother to replace his iPhone 14.... but he loves using his magsafe duo on his bedside table, so this is a no-go now.

I never thought about this. Have you or anyone confirmed that this is an actual possible interaction for sure? But, if I had a pacemaker and heard that from the manufacturer, I probably wouldn't want to chance it. I would guess that it isn't as severe as the reps might have said, just based on it being released without any warnings - at least none that I've seen.
But that doesn't mean the warning is without merit so I am wondering if you ever got a definitive answer?
Regarding this iPhone 16e thing. HUGE mistake and miss all around, Apple. In nearly every part. What were you guys all thinking???
This is what happens when the beancounters lead the design for a phone. It's the 737 Max of iPhones.
Wait, it doesn't have magsafe but does support wireless charging? How does that even work, Apple? Seems like a big miss, but maybe people who want this phone can just buy a case with MagSafe like a lot of Android phone users are doing these days?
"Poorly", as it's finicky to get the charging coil in the right place, and have it stay there
It's also dog slow Qi @ "up to 7.5w"
Well you can fix this easily.

Are there any good Android phones priced at $500 or less?
If so, Apple seems happy to say goodbye to consumers on a budget.

$170 price increase from the SE (Gen 3) and they couldn't even include MagSafe???
This is truly an enormous mistake by Apple. MagSafe is awesome and should obviously be included on this device. I'm confident many people will purchase this iPhone assuming it has MagSafe.
Yes. That surprised me big time. I thought for sure it would keep that.
Just shows you how important it is and that many people do consider it a feature.
I for one use it daily and it’s one of the reasons I went back to iPhone last November.
I got a 13, new, for a reduced price of €549 which is €150 than what the 16E will sell for…..

My iPad mini also doesn't have mag safe, but I sure did slap a magnetic ring to the back of the case and I use it for mounting the iPad in a few different places. I don't see why you couldn't also do this with this phone or why case makers couldn't include the round ring in their cases.
