iPhone 16E review: the cheapest iPhone is still too expensive

Apple’s latest iPhone is supposed to be the company’s budget-friendly option against their higher tier lineup. However, at the price of $599, the iPhone 16E may be a little too slim; MagSafe is gone, wave goodbye to one GPU core, there isn’t a Dynamic Island or a Camera Control button, along with a number of other features that we simply can’t ignore. The Verge’s smartphone reviewer, Allison Johnson, spent the last week testing out the device to see why it even exists. #Apple #iPhone #Technology
