Compared to the iPhone 16, the iPhone 16E is $200 less has:
- No ultra-wide camera (0.5x), macro photography mode, or spatial photos/video
- No MagSafe support, just non-magnetic Qi charging
- No touch controls on the Action button
- Apple's in-house C1 modem that has not proven itself yet
- No mmWave 5G
- Wi-Fi 6 instead of Wi-Fi 7
- No Dynamic Island and slightly bigger bezels
Am I missing anything? Why would anyone get this over a discounted iPhone 15? AI is not a phone seller.
