iPhone 16e Is the 16e really priced that bad?

You should consider the CMF Phone. Packs in loads for the price.

I did think about one of them at some point, but my Oppo phone is doing me fine at the moment.
If you are going to use the full features of a iPhone or you just want a iPhone then yes, pay the price, saying that I do wonder how some people can afford to buy one or even an expensive Android phone.

My Oppo does what I need, so I really don't see the sense in spending a lot of money on a phone.
i could get nearly £100 off with a discount at work, but the hardware is not worth the money. Much better hardware for less.


Even my 4-year-old Oppo has a better camera, but my phone will be slower in use and also, no fingerprint sensor on the Iphone.

Who bought the 16e and is really happy here? And why haven’t you pick the 15 pro refurbished?

Why would someone buy a used phone that cost more than new 16e?

I’m very happy with my 16e, had it over a week now. I had a 15 Pro which fell out of my pocket, cracked the back glass whilst also lying in water (no AppleCare) yes I loved that iPhone. I did briefly try a Pixel 7 Pro but didn’t like it. I then got my old iPhone 8 out of retirement and used that for a few months, after using the 8 the 16e was a pretty sizeable upgrade!

I didn’t want to get a 3rd party used device and Apple do not sell the 15 Pro on their certified refurbished store, and if/when they do it’ll cost a lot more than the 16e.

Performance, battery life and being able to snap some decent shots are important to me. The 16e delivers all of that whilst being the least expensive new iPhone, and after my accident I added AppleCare for just £4.99 per month for peace of mind.

Loving the 16e, the battery life is far better than I expected and much better than the 15 Pro which I thought was poor.

I never used MagSafe so don’t miss it, the chargers and accessories look way to bulky for my liking.

Zero regrets, very happy. The spec list may be lacking for some but device in hand and real world experience of myself and other people who have purchased the 16e - it’s been great so far and punching well above it’s weight.

Same people who would rather have a year or two old BMW 3 series than a brand new Toyota Corolla?

Well, the Toyota Corolla has been a top selling car so let’s hope the 16e is also!
