Comparable. In good lighting the 16e should be better almost all of the time. In low to medium lighting it will be a bit more of a mixed bag. The higher megapixels help a bit, but moreso in good lighting than poor lightning.
My house has two 13's and a 13 Mini. I used the Mini for awhile and I've had the 16e for a few days now.

Right on. I've tried dabbling with mine after picking it up last week, but I can't commit just yet. The width is throwing me off big time.
Really have no idea why people are complaining and ragging on this phone. If you don't like it don't buy it. I don't use Magsafe, never used it, honestly never even knew it existed until I heard everyone complaining about it.
I may very well buy the 16e once I can figure out how a stupid eSim works.

eSIM is pretty cool most of the time. It’s just like a virtual SIM card, so you can have more than 1 at a time in less space.
It doesn't seem to be cool at all as I am struggling a lot trying to find out how the setup process goes.
There is no way someone actually bought it 🤣🤣 ya’ll can’t think as soon as you see the logo smh
Some people don't need Pro Max phones. If they want a 16e, then it's their money. Let them enjoy their purchase.
I've had every iteration of the Pro since the 13 line, and I always revert to my 13 mini. Now trying to make the move to the 16e and it's been fantastic for my needs. Some of us just don't need Pro features or a brick in our pockets.

It would be fine for someone like my brother. Uses iPhone for calls, and checking the weather. He will text occasionally. I passed down my 13 mini to him.
16e just arrived love the black and the clean look. Will get it set up
Bearing in mind I’ve been using an iPhone 8 recently, first impressions of the 16e are great!
Came out of the box with 82% on the battery and after set up, sorting apps and having a play etc it’s down to 70%. It’s barely dropping now things are settling down.
It all feels very fast & fluid after living with the iPhone 8!

What are you talking about?? The XR had a 12 MP sensor. The 16e is the same current 48 MP sensor.
Awesome! People like you are the targeted audience more so I think.
Loving it! Just under 2 months with the iPhone 8, I did have a 15 Pro until I managed to kill it lol I’ve got AppleCare now with my 16e!
Would you not just use the Transfer feature in iOS? I went from physical to eSIM and all I did was use the transfer phone feature. It set up the carrier stuff over the air.
Does that involve calling the carrier, etc? Remember, I do not have an account with my carrier.
It’s like the iPhone 12 main camera with double the resolution (in both dimensions, making for four times the pixel count): https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...-iphone-xr-back-in-2018.2451190/post-33773006
Don't know why you think it's like the iPhone 12 when it is literally the sensor from the 16 ultra wide camera with a new 2 part lens.
An eSIM profile is a file (containing similar data that a physical SIM would) that you download from your carrier and that is then coupled to your phone. Your carrier may provide you a link to the eSIM with a QR code, or may require you to use their app. In any case, your carrier must first create the eSIM profile for you, which means you have to contact your carrier to have them do this. Since you don’t have an account with them, you either have to visit a physical store of your carrier, or maybe you can call them and have them send a letter to you with a printed QR code. The details depend on the carrier. They probably have a website detailing the options.
