Android sucked me in.
Its not a ‘budget’ phone, but its far from being a flagship, too.
It’s great for a mixed use of gaming, social media, messaging and note-writing.
Coming from Android, I’m also drawn to the simplicity.
Its cute, it works, and its fun!
What on Earth is up with this screen, though?
60Hz on such a pricey unit, and the same goes for the standard iPhone 16.
This is grating as I don’t like the scrolling and app-opening experience.
It breaks the seamlessness I referred to earlier.
Moving on: something Ive been quite jealous of while using an Android phone has been Apples Action Button.
I love theideaof an extra button with customizable functionality, but I’m not sold on its usability.
I still appreciate the Action Button though.
‘e’ is for…
When I first saw this phone’s name, I assumed that the ‘e’ meant ‘essential’.
In other words, the ‘essentials’.
Paradoxically restrictive and freeing, the iPhone 16e is a comfortable phone.
Not to mention the larger screens on both.
