The camera sucks, it lacks MagSafe and Bluetooth is the worst. I use Apple CarPlay in my car and if I get a phone call while listening to music, after the call hangs up the music skips like crazy. The only way to get rid of that effect was to disconnect BT and reconnect. If I happen to drive near a police radio, the music cuts out completely. This has never happened on any phones but this one. There are plenty of examples that other people with the same phone have similar issues to mine. Honestly, if it wasn't because of the battery being worse I'd rather use a 2022 iPhone SE than this 16e.
Community Reviews
The iPhone 16e is framed as a compact, snappy iPhone that works well for basic tasks, with strong battery life and solid everyday performance as a secondary phone. It shares the iPhone 13 style body and screen, runs apps fine, and can feel good in hand. The biggest knocks are the missing MagSafe, weak camera, and reports of Bluetooth glitches and carrier locking, with some saying the phone stays tied to a carrier for 365 days. At $499.99 for 128 gigabytes, the value is questioned, especially when the 17e is only $100 more with double the storage.
People wanting a secondary phone for calls and browsing, because it feels snappy, runs apps, and has fine signal with strong battery life.
Drivers using CarPlay and basic daily tasks, because the phone handles web browsing, calls, and getting things done without trouble.
Shoppers who want a compact iPhone with long battery life, because it shares the older body style while adding upgraded internals.
Families needing a straightforward iPhone for everyday use, because multiple units have worked fine across the latest iOS.
Mobile photographers wanting a strong camera, because the camera is described as weak for the price.
Buyers who need MagSafe accessories, because this model lacks MagSafe.
International travelers or anyone needing immediate carrier freedom, because it can lock to the first U.S. carrier and refuse international activation.
People who rely on a clean Bluetooth and CarPlay experience, because music can skip after calls and cut out near radio interference.

AT&T has a prepaid version for only $299 and works on all AT&T MVNO's. Though I would pay the extra $100 from the best buy deal and get the 17e since it has the latest A19 and is what I consider the next gen iPhone 14 minus one cam and upgraded internals.
This is a case on amazon I purchased to make it lighter and very slim feeling but with protection: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F1FBD...asin_
Went to Apple Store at mall of ga to try to trade in for iphone air, play with air for about 15 minutes, and the only thing I really like about the air is bigger screen and lighter, but the air got hot after intense 15 minutes of usage so I decided to keep the 16e.
overall this is 300 dollars max phone I will pay not $500+ and the air not worth $700 dollars after traded this 16e in, value for the money
