    Apple took the comments off the iPhone 16 E reveal video because they were getting roasted😂

    The e stands for e-waste!

    E stands for enormous price increase. Why would you buy this when you purchased thru a carrier and they will give you a pro for free.

    I love what Apple did with the 16e. I personally like saving money. Ill grab a case with 🧲 i wouldn’t want the iPhone 15 it doesn’t have any of the new software features. Not to mention all that battery life without having to buy a 6.5 display. Android ppl have always hated on Apple to no avail.

    • @johnnyboy55

      Got my 16e case Saturday. Coming from a 16 gb 6 so this is a massive upgrade for me.

    16e with a third party MagSafe case to place my iPhone 11 but not until they review the c1 modem

    • @rwayneb

      February 24, 2025 at 4:22 pm

      c1 has some issues i hear

    You said Android devices at that price range would have at least a 90Hz refresh rate? In 2025 Android devices for less than half the price have 120Hz refresh rate displays 🤦🏽‍♂️…

  12. @madpanda9883

    😬My take on the 16E in more of a successor to the XR. And people bought the XR like hotcakes. SE was never viewed as “modern” phone in term of its design. If you see anyone holding a SE on the street you will know it’s an “old” phone no doubt. The new 16E will not be so, of course you’re still able to tell the difference if you look closely. But that’s the point. It’s a modern looking iPhone for $600! And just like that people will buy it. Before people pointing out the single camera, the notch, and MagSafe. Thinking about how the XR outsold the XS and XS Max despite being heavily criticize of the low screen resolution. 🤓

    E-waste

  14. @johnnyboy55

    February 24, 2025 at 3:26 pm

    My black 16e 128gb arrives Friday.
    Folks the SE is dead. Discontinued. I thought it was overpriced until I did some research.
    $599 for 128 gb means it costs $4.68 per gb. The SE3? $429 for 64 gb. $6.70 per gb.
    My current phone, the iPhone 6 cost me $649 for 16 gb. $40.56 PER GB.
    Also-Go Birds!

  17. @rwayneb

    February 24, 2025 at 4:21 pm

    You didn’t mention the 16e has a new apple modem vs the qualcomm in all other models. There has been some negativity regarding the apple modem.

  18. @b4mbidoll

    February 24, 2025 at 4:30 pm

    nobody is buying this and I can’t help but think that that is probably what they want

    i’m getting the 256gb for £580 with 12 mini trade in can’t wait i don’t need 3 or 4 cameras only need 1 and don’t need mag safe would never use that battery life is going to be great also i prefer the small notch over the dynamic island i think that looks weird i will get the upgrade when they add the round dot hole lol

  27. @berniecalo01

    How can it have a 2x optical zoom if there’s only 1 lens?

    • @hxzrsh

      February 25, 2025 at 1:44 am

      They said it in their Release Video, it has a “2 in 1” camera.

    • @andyH_England

      February 25, 2025 at 2:58 am

      It is cropped in, so it is digital zoom. The difference between optical and digital-cropping is nominal, so effectively, it has two lenses.

    • @SuperComics1934

      February 25, 2025 at 4:05 am

      ​@@andyH_Englandno .
      Then why iphone’s pro models gives telephoto lense?
      Optical lens> digital crop .
      Yes iPhone 16/16e can shot a better digital crop photo than 3-4 year old android phone’s telephoto only in daylight or in good lighting conditions,
      No match for today’s telephoto lense.

  29. @jeremiahr3615

    Rather buy an iPhone 15 for that price

  30. @WOTM8

    February 25, 2025 at 3:04 am

    You wanna know what the E stands for?
    “Expensive” it should be $429 not $599
    599 used to be the iPhone 5s price category, top of the line.

  31. @gtone339

    February 25, 2025 at 3:19 am

    Skip, go for a Samsung Galaxy S25! 😅

  32. @theavengers5559

    Boycott iPhone 16e.

  33. @ricoevangelista170

    February 25, 2025 at 5:34 am

    I love the 16 e having the a18 chip, the notch of iphone 14 and that insane battery life like the 16 plus version. Definitely a huge upgrade for folks like me coming from the iphone 12

  34. @nehanmax8850

    February 25, 2025 at 5:52 am

    Which one is better to buy IPhone 16e or *16

    • @TommyisfromViceCity

      February 25, 2025 at 6:37 am

      Choosing 16e over 16 will be a disaster

  35. @Wirralgeorge

    February 25, 2025 at 6:36 am

    It’s too big a whole lot of people want a smaller phone hence the popularity of the folding phones

  36. @alexmichael7997

    February 25, 2025 at 6:56 am

    i like 16E, good phone,

  37. @max1mu5dc

    February 25, 2025 at 7:53 am

    16e is for students and developing countries who want iPhone at the cheapest price

    • @luisdavidgarcia8155

      February 25, 2025 at 10:51 am

      You would recommend?

    • @max1mu5dc

      February 25, 2025 at 11:10 am

      @ I would recommend it to users who don’t need best look or camera. Save $200 and upgrade to new model in a few years. It’s still the same iOS software.

    • @rokko_fable

      February 25, 2025 at 11:41 am

      Students in developing countries like to waste their money too apparently. I live in a rich country and I still think it’s a waste. A cheap android device is a much better buy.

    • @gamerfor-life-

      February 25, 2025 at 5:01 pm

      You could say it’s for people who want the latest of the latest software and up to date features but don’t quite much have the budget for it

  38. @CallMe_Mr.Rhythm

    February 25, 2025 at 8:24 am

    It’s like an iPhone XR.

  39. @Punjabi.Pandit.Secular

    February 25, 2025 at 8:39 am

    Still this iPhone 16e for £600 base price is a Rubish as compare to £150 budget Samsung phone.

  40. @jaughnekow

    February 25, 2025 at 8:46 am

    I think the best starting price for this phone should be $500

  41. @moshnroll507

    February 25, 2025 at 10:07 am

    Just bought an iPhone 14 Plus new on sale for $629…why would anyone bother with 6e?

    • @joshuamast5128

      February 25, 2025 at 1:04 pm

      The A18 processor and the C1 modem

    • @moshnroll507

      February 25, 2025 at 1:15 pm

      @ an untested modem, pass

  42. @ninjanerdstudent6937

    February 25, 2025 at 10:09 am

    iPhone 16 Enterprise is just a sad excuse to sell batches of company phones at the reduced price.

    If maybe they put a 90hz display that would be competitive 👀

  47. @runescape0063

    February 25, 2025 at 4:32 pm

    itll probably have over heating issues when it first comes out

  48. @runescape0063

    February 25, 2025 at 4:40 pm

    I’ll just buy the 15 instead 😂😂😂😂

  49. @jamenbrooks95

    February 25, 2025 at 5:50 pm

    the 16e is only 200 less from the 16
