Apple has just introduced the iPhone 16E, which is the newest addition to the iPhone 16 lineup, and the Internet is already a field day. Marketed as a spiritual successor of iPhone SE 3 (2020), 16e promises modern design and updated features- without premium value tags of their more expensive siblings. The iPhone 16E is priced at $ 599 (Rs 59900).
While iPhone 16E and iPhone 16 share uniform designs, Apple has once again given something more happy to the budget conscious fans. The launch has highlighted a wave of online reactions, ranging from enthusiasm and doubt “just buy an Android”.
One user wrote, “So, originally 16 with a worse camera and 1 low GPU core. I wonder how much people either care.”
Another user commented, “Damn, $ 599 is a decent price collision, but I think my company will be paying, so I should not care. I wonder if iPhone 17 will also get a price collision . “
“Anything Apple is expensive, but it is also absurd for iPhone 16E Apple Pricing,” a user has written on X.
As usual, Android users are lean in comments, drinking their coffee and distributing their normal hot.
“Get a Samsung S25 instead. This brick is not worth money,” another Android user wrote on X.
Instead get a Samsung S25. Not worth money for this brick
