Could you elaborate?

Spec comparison:

https://www.phonescoop.com/phones...=7279,6989

It looks like the 15 has the second, wide-angle camera and support for Ultra WideBand (UWB).

If these things aren't important to you, I feel like it might be worth the extra $70 to get the 8GB of RAM and the A18 CPU in the 16e (vs. the 6GB of RAM and A16 CPU in the 15).

EDIT: Retail price of the 16e is $600, which is where the "extra $70" in my statement came from.

Dynamic Island, MagSafe, MMWave Antenna, 5 Core GPU, Dual Cameras, Brighter Screen, 5 Color Options and for $70 dollars less. Better value proposition in my opinion.

iPhone 13+ have MagSafe. Color options is a weak argument. GPU , antenna and Screen are certainly worth the extra $70 and the longevity.

Without magsafe I expect 16e to be around $500 soon. $600 is crazy to omit something that's been around since the 12. Also want to see how the apple c1 modern does in real world test

The model number appears to line up with a refurb.

Apple refurb is as good, if not better, than new. They use new components and are inspected more thoroughly.

You forgot about 1 year less Apple update for iphone 15. I'd take the 16e when StraightTalk promote a 50% off ($299), maybe sooner or ThanksGiving.

Note: some1 mention something about 15 being a refurbished. Then, hell NO 15.

I wouldn't touch iPhone 16e until we find out of Apple's new in-house modem is any good. You could see slow data, dropped calls, etc versus the Qualcomm modem.

It's not an Apple refurb. Just went to the store, and confirmed. It's a microcenter vendor refurb.

15 does not support Apple intelligence so not sure how future proof this will be compared to 16e
