    Idk why I’m the only person who seemingly says this but honestly a user 15 pro is cheaper and better (Depending on Circumstances)

    Saying the 16e is good for most people is WILD.

      I would argue it’s pretty accurate. I’m not saying that $600 is the best price for this phone, but the vast majority of users in the wild aren’t going to notice a massive difference between this phone and the standard 16.

      You would’ve lost a lot of features if it was cheaper why do people not understand that?

    I have an appointment at the apple store tomorrow to replace the battery for $69. That will do for now as I was disappointed that the changed its size despite a zillion rumors it would stay the same size as the SE or 7 because I don’t want a surfboard for a phone when I have a tablet I prefer to read books & watch/connect on videos. PS: I have no current need for AI.
