A little smaller and cheaper. Similar performance, even though the 16 gets the nod by a small margin in most comparisons. https://www.pcmag.com/comparisons...difference

I have a different plan, so they are only offering $500 trade for my 13. The 16 comes to $13.50 a month and 16c comes to $4.50 a month. I'm still not sure which one to choose.

I'm not sure why someone trade in a somewhat desirable phone, and obligate themselves to a 24 month contract for this phone.

16 Pro, yes.

16e, no.

We have Simple Choice. If done at Costco, the 16e comes out to about $60 after taxes here in California. (T-mobile giving $500 trade in and Costco giving $100 card)

It's a strange positioning. Not knowing what to expect i hoped to trade-in an SE3 for an SE4/16e. I was also hoping for a SIM slot.

On the Plus plan the SE3 gives me only $415, while for iPhone 12 and up i got up to $830. So in my case it does not really make any sense to get the 16e when you could get the 16 for it instead. I would not mind playing with it though for battery and modem (Apple) experience.

So probably i see if i can get a 256 16e through Apple/T-Mobile so the phone is unlocked trading in a 13 and selling the SE3. In reality i should get the 16 though, i think, since i get full $800 credit. Its a slightly better phone in almost every aspect.

It will be interesting to see where/how they position/classify the 16E for trade-in in the Fall for the 17. Will it get top dollar of be treated like an SE? 🤔

Probably because people are on a grandfathered plan and get $500 for their old ass phone. Upgrading to 16e is like less than 100 out of pocket if you do it at Costco for the 128gb and less than 200 for the 256gb.
